Micromaster

This article is about the Generation 1 subline and the characters contained therein. For the Dreamwave miniseries, see Micromasters.

Micromasters were Transformers who downsized their bodies considerably to be more fuel efficient. Transforming into tiny cars, planes, and other vehicles, many team up in four-member patrols, while others commandeer vehicles or battlestations which can transform into other things.

Some Micromasters were also Combiners, and could each form either the front or back half of a combined vehicle. They were not constrained to joining only with their Combiner partner; they also could join with any other Combiner, as well as to the back of any Micro Trailer (see also Combi-Micromaster).

Micromasters were usually grouped as Patrols, Squads, Transports, Stations or Bases:
