- The Guardian Micron are a Mini-Con team from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the Revenge of the Fallen toyline).
The Guardian Micron (ガーディアンマイクロン Gādian Maikuron) apparently guard things. Which side of the war they work for is unknown, but "Guardian" seems to imply heroics.
The team is composed of
Toys
Generation 1
- Guardian Powered (2009)
- Guardian Sky (2009)
- Guardian Speed (2009)
- The three members of the Guardian Micron are redecos of the Cybertron Recon Mini-Con Team. They were available only as individual promotional items, with the purchase of 2,000 Yen worth of Revenge merchandise at certain stores on or after May 30th, 2009. Guardians Powered and Speed were Bic Camera/Yodobashi Camera exclusives, while Sky was available at ToysЯUs.
- These molds were also used to make the Noble Force Mini-Con Team, as well as the Micron Boosters Plier, Bit and Socket (respectively).
Notes
- Though the Guardian Micron were available with the purchase of Revenge toys, their instructions use a somewhat generic Transformers logo, not the one used on Revenge product. As this is their only "packaging" (coming in a clear plastic baggie), that's all we have to work with as to "where" they're from, which defaults them to Generation 1 pretty much.
- The team was not named on the promotional web site, and certainly not in their instructions. It wasn't until the publishing of Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3, which features an extensive and complete-for-the-time gallery of all Mini-Con mold toys, that the team was explicitly named.
