I would oppose merging this article with micromaster because... they're not the same thing. Represented by the same toys or not-- they are different concepts that don't exist side-by-side in continuity. Even the awful DW mini seemed to recognize the difference-- the only Japanese Micros it borrowed as crowdfiller were the ones released under the Micromaster Collection.
It's possible some of the content at Micromaster belongs here though. -Derik 23:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- What exactly is the difference? They're... small Transformers. There's really nothing else to either group. In fact, the deviation in name, to my mind, only seems to support their similarity. They're not called "Micromasters" in Japan because they have nothing to do with the Planet Master. Japanese fiction *could* have changed them in some radical way to associate them with Master, and let them keep the name - but they didn't. They just did exactly the same thing with them that American fiction does - presents them as ordinary-but-small Transformers, and changed the name so that it wouldn't contradict all the previous Japanese -master stuff. - Chris McFeely 23:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
