Fiction

Unit:E comic

The Micronauts originated in a distant part of the galaxy. King Acroyear led a group of warriors against Baron Karza. This group included Karza’s former comrades Space Glider and Celeste, as well as the Time Travelers, Microtron, and a Biotron. Synergy was a creation of the Micronauts. Unit:E

IDW Generation 1 continuity

While Scarlett expressed her worry about what other forces could appear on Earth following Optimus Prime's activities, the Micronauts were in the middle of a battle. Secret Raiders

After flying into the entropy storm in an attempt to both save their universe and escape Baron Karza, the Micronauts were attacked by Reptos, a race of beings previously thought destroyed by the cloud. Before the Reptos could destroy the Heliopolis, the crew was saved by the mysterious Time Traveller.

Several days into their journey, Microtron scanned the surrounding area looking for something to fuel the Heliopolis, detecting something "big". The Micronauts then received a message from Baron Karza. Karma told them that though it has only been a few days for them inside the storm, years had passed in Microspace. Microtron then informed Oz that he discovered the source of the energy he detected, as well as the source of Karza's signal. Oz struggled to comprehend and Karza explained that "it" was the birthplace of Microspace: the body of Micronus Prime. Micronauts: Revolution

If they were meant to be humans, they'd be better scaled to Jetfire than the human characters.

Notes

• The Micronauts featured in Unit:E appear to be based on the Marvel Comics incarnation of the characters.
