Optimus is in this? Where does this fit in with everything? 'Direct implications for First Strike'? This is why I hate all this crossover shared universe crap: I'm missing Transformers content I didn't even know about because it's hidden away in other titles I have zero interest in buying.
What else TF have I missed in non-TF titles?

Which in turn has lead to gaps in the story and plot points spoiled as a result.

Yes, the same happened with M.A.S.K and Revolutionaires.

They've kept popping up in Hasbro Investor presentations and some of the new characters glimpsed there were produced as part of the SDCC Revolution box set, but other than a new cartoon from Boulder Media, we don't have much to go on.
Well, it was scheduled to. Unfortunately, IDW's schedule slips have really been hurting.

One would think IDW would finish this crossover before First Strike came out. I honestly forgot about this.

I gave up on this iteration of the Micronauts once I heard they were going to be forcibly pulled into the merged IDW-verse.
The Trons? They actually used the TRONS in the book?!? Somehow they don't seem as wacky as they were originally supposed to be. Of course, the toys weren't all that wacky either. And besides that, Alphatron's eyes are wrong.[/pedant]
…at least they died quickly.
I miss Rann, Bug, and Mari. (I even miss Ryan Archer's crew.) Time to dig out my sixty issues of Bill Mantlo (and four issues of Mantlo/Claremont) and re-read a classic.
I vaguely remember hearing something about the possibilities also, but other than the two SDCC exclusives, it's been pretty much radio silence.

I can't remember when it was, Last year? I saw something here about new Micronauts toys, got excited…and then heard nothing about them since.
Danny-Boy
To what specifically are you referring? The Hasbro Investors presentation? The Micronauts: Evolution line?
Purple Heart
Most evil is born from love.
The Asp
Whatever happened to the new series of Micronauts (toys) that were seen a while ago?
Megastar
Even evil has loved ones.
Black Convoy
Cool! Thanks for sharing! Mirrored images in the news post.

We get to see a little bit more of Optimus vs. Karza in the full preview. Karza-Micronus? Cool. Centaur-Karza-Micronus? Even COOLER.
