Microtransformer

Childlike, precious and suchlike.

Microtransformers are the Japanese equivalent of Micromasters, except while Micromasters are badass guerilla Transformers that transform into human-sized robot modes (~8' or 2.5m tall) Microtransformers are bumbling, juvenile Transformers that transform into robot modes slightly under the Transformer norm—similar to the classic Mini Vehicles.

Because of their young age, Microtransformers tend to be relegated to support roles.
