Anyone willing to go trolling through patent listings? We seem to be missing those for several members of various combiner teams. Perhaps they can be found by cross referencing those we do have? --Khajidha 10:54, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
(possibly) BioTron (Micronauts)! --Khajidha 12:57, 13 September 2010 (EDT) Lion Force Voltron! --Khajidha 14:05, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
Don't know what this is, but I've got one in my box of older TFs at home. --Khajidha 13:16, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
- I DO! I DO! That's a takara robo-block figure. They combine together like Legos to build larger stuff. They were sold in the US as ROBOTECH figures. I've got a ton of them! -ZacWilliam (not signed in)
- Thanks Zac! --Khajidha 17:24, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
This is a great find! It's got more recent stuff on too, like the Optimus Prime battle rig blaster! --abates 15:06, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
Was this a GoBots or a TFs release? I think it was "My First Transformer", but I could be wrong. --Khajidha 19:42, 13 September 2010 (EDT)
These are the patents for the Masters of the Universe meteor people - 1 & 2. Yeah, they're only tangentially related, just demonstrating that this would work for other fandoms as well. --Khajidha 11:30, 15 September 2010 (EDT)
Leobreaker
Might this be Leobreaker? Looks kinda like it to me. http://www.google.com/patents?id=__eZAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false
- No. The company that filed this is Konami. And it doesn't look a thing like Leobreaker. At all. --Detour 15:13, 13 September 2010 (EDT)

Why nothing later?
It seems odd that we've found nothing later than the Monsterbots but nearly everything prior. Forgive my ignorance are these patents only made public after a certain amount of time? That might explain why there's nothing from the Pretender years or after? If not anyone have any idea why the info's so "Backheavy" chronologicly speaking? --76.28.76.206 07:47, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
- I was wondering this too. If you search for Hasbro and then sort by date, it only lists 4 patents for all of 2009. Even the US Patent Office site only seems to return 5 results for Hasbro in 2009. --abates 08:29, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
- Don't know. It could simply be that no one at the Patent Office has got around to posting them online. Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth, though. This is a simply amazing amount of data. --Khajidha 08:45, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
- Out of curiousity have we started to do pages for the "inventors" and wich figures each created?
- We may already have pages for some of these designers, if we don't we should make them. I'm planning on resorting this entire page following the checklists for each year, that way we can easily see what remains to be found. --Khajidha 10:42, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
