Day 337: Terror-Tread & Cement-Head

  The next Micromaster Combiner Transport is a Decepticon combo which was an earthmover truck with a large flatbed middle section that turns into a cannon emplacement and smaller rolling vehicle. The two robots were Terror-Tread (left) and Cement-Head (right). This was available in 1990.

Day 336: Pipeline & Gusher

The next of the Micromaster Combiner Transports is an Autobot tanker truck comprising two truck ends that turn into Pipeline (left) and Gusher (right) and the tank itself which opens up to become a battle station. This was released in 1990. 

Day 335: Retro & Surge

  tarting a run of Micromaster Combiner Transports, a subset of Micromasters that finds a way to sandwich a larger vehicle body / playset between the two halves of its combiner figures. So, the Autobot missile launcher is a flatbed truck trailer with a pair of massive launchers that fits between the truck-halves of Retro (left) and Surge (right). These were sold as a set in 1990.

Day 300: Overload

 Another 18-wheeler truck cab in the proud tradition of Optimus Prime, but in a much much smaller scale -- Overload is an Autobot Micromaster Transport. He turns into blue semi cab that hauls a car carrier. The trailer turns into a "Mach 2" jet fighter that Overload can sit in. He was available in 1989. 

Day 299: Roughstuff

Next in the Micromaster Transports line is Roughstuff, a Decepticon who turns into a military truck cab that hauls a big military trailer. That trailer turns into a jet that Roughstuff can pilot. He was available in 1989.   

Day 298: Flattop

Flattop is unique among the Micromaster Transport in that he's not a truck hauling a giant trailer. Instead, this Decepticon is an F4 Phantom jet that came packed with an aircraft carrier. That carrier could turn into an interstellar jet that Flattop can fit into and fly. He was available in 1989. 

Day 297: Erector

The Micromaster Transports were a subseries of Micromaster vehicles with trailers that turn into battle stations. Erector (no giggling) is an Autobot crane truck whose trailer turns into a gun battery. He was available in 1989.
