They were the Transformers of the Seventies. Only better.

That is way before my time. I wasn't even around then. So sorry.

Hell yeah.
Did you catch them in Universe X? That pic isn't of that, but they were awesome in it.

I collected only a handful of the comics. I particularly remember the one where the Micronauts enter our world and confront toy versions of themselves.
Here are the toys I remember owning:
Galactic Warrior
Time Traveller
Pharoid
Mobile Exploration Lab
Giant Acroyear
Antron
Repto
Membros
Hornetroid
Star Searcher
Also, the comic book sizes of Biotron and Microtron seem to contradict the toy line. Are there different sized models of the same design in the comic universe?

Micronauts! I had a shitload of them when I was a wee lad back in the mid 70's.
I wish I still had them.
I collected the comics in the 80's.
I still have all those.

Shit, how could I forget Baron Karza??? He was probably my favourite. A friend of mine had Force Commander, so I probably got that memory mixed up somewhere.

I don't really recall. All I know about them is that they are somehow CANON in the Marvel universe. Why the hell not? Let's just canonize the Transformers and Star Wars while we're at it--Marvel made comics for them.

Marvel made Star Wars and Transformers comics, but they didn't own the characters. They still own the Micronauts characters, so they're canon.
As an interesting bit of trivia, ROM the Spaceknight isn't Marvel comics anymore, because they don't have the rights to him, but he appears in Universe X. The catch: they don't refer to him by name. Ah, legalism.
