Microman

Microman (also known as Micronauts) is one of two Takara toy lines (the other being Diaclone) from which the original Transformers toys came. It is a descendant, strangely enough, of Hasbro's own G.I. Joe toyline.

Takara still continues to produce this toy line, and seems to add at least one new series to it each year, as well as adding non-original character figures, such as Evangelion's Rei and Asuka, Batman, and even Kicker.

The most recent versions have prided themselves on "Full Action Bodies"(30+ points of articulation).

Surprisingly, some of the more recent Microman figures can use the older Microman accessories, such as Megatron's gun attachments, when they are combined into the form of a gun turret.
