Instead, the new figures (known as the M11x and M12x series) featured shoes with 5mm holes on the bottoms and a similar hole in the figures' back as well. Gone (with one exception) were the translucent bodies, gone were the delecate bare feet and the chromed chest piece. Apart from the interior mechanics (which had themselves evolved over the course of the previous year) and the continuation of chromed heads, the new figures could not have been more different from the Founders. Two new sets of figures formed the core of the new lineup, with the first of the villians soon to follow.
#Toys microman full
Pulling away from Cyborg, Microman became a full featured line all on its own in 1975. These were Bulk Lifter (which became the Micronauts Hydra), Space Buggy (which became Galactic Cruiser) and Sky Roader - for which there is no Micronauts equivalent.
Rounding out the 1974 series were three larger vehicles known as collectively as Cosmo Cars. The initial four vehicle/figure sets were Sky Rambler, Gyrotto, Hot Roader, and Beam Tripler, none of which became Micronauts. The Founder Micromen came in the same four colors as Time Traveler, but unlike the MEGO figures where the chest pieces were random, these chest pieces were specific to each figure in both style and chrome color.
These were released in 1974 and also included the M-115 Connig Tower, known to Micronauts fans as the Mobile Exploration Lab. Initially available only in kits with vehicles, this early incarnation was tied to the Henshin Cyborg line. The first "Founder" Micromen were similar to Time Traveller but with bare feet and no 5mm port in back.
