Micronaut Time Travelers in Yellow, Blue, Orange, and Clear The figures were based on another Takara figure, the 12" Henshin Cyborg, which was based on Hasbro's original 12" G.I. The articulation on the figures was amazing and years ahead of anything else in the 3.75" scale. The original MEGO Time Travelers were available in four transparent colors: yellow, blue, orange, and clear. Metal Man "Radon" working the controls of the Time Chamber for a Time Traveler I guess I didn't really think about all of those rocket launchers that they attached to their vehicles -Haha! I imagined them all as pacifists with very calm personalities. In my mind, there weren't even good guys and bad guys, the Micronauts all worked together for the common good like a bunch of mellow, hippy, space scientists. I never read the Micronauts comic books as a kid, so I wasn't familiar with their story line. As a kid, there were many Micronauts figures that I never saw, but even if I had seen them all, there was just something about the Time Traveler that appealed to me. Even though the Time Travelers didn't come with every vehicle released by MEGO, they would fit in any vehicle that could hold a figure, so they were a 'must have' for any kid with Micronauts!Īlthough there were several different Micronauts figures, the Time Travelers were always my favorite. Sold individually as well as packaged along with select vehicles, the Time Traveler was the figure that just about every Micronauts fan had. The most common figures from the line were the 3.75" Time Travelers. The Japanese company Takara had found success with their Microman line of toys, so MEGO licensed several of the figures, vehicles and playsets, re-branded them Micronauts and released them to the USA. Shortly before Star Wars figures dominated the shelves of every toy store, MEGO released a line of more articulated figures in the same scale: Micronauts.
