Bot a Day: Daily Drawings

The last of the 2007 Micron Boosters, Chromebite was a chase figure, packed -- at most -- once per case. A Predacon, he is a redeco of Gnashteeth and turns into a mechanical Tyrannosaurus rex, but finished in a shiny dark purple chrome finish. 

The last two of the 2007 Micron Boosters available exclusively in Japan were "chase" figures, packed only once per case. He's the same mold as Radrogue , but rendered entirely in transparent plastic. An Autobot, he turns into a Dodge Charger police car. 

Rockblade is the 9th of the 2007 blind-box Micron Boosters.  A Decepticon, he turns into a backhoe loader. He's a redeco of Classics Sledge. 

Refuser is the eighth of the 2007 blind-box Micron Boosters. Ahem, his eyes are up here. Turns into an earth mover dump truck. A redeco of Classics Wideload. He's a Decepticon.

Ironlunge is the seventh of the Micron Boosters available in Japan in 2007, sold in blind-box packaging. If his name is a play on "Iron Lung," then bravo. A Predacon, he turns into a mechanical triceratops. He is a redeco of  Classics  Mini-Con Knockdown. 

Reptix is the sixth of the Micron Boosters available in Japan in 2007, sold in blind-box packaging. A Predacon, he turns into a mechanical pteranodon. He is a redeco of Classics Mini-Con Swoop. 

Gnashteeth is the fifth of the 2007 Micron Boosters available exclusively in Japan in blind-box packaging. A Predacon, he turns into a mechanical Tyrannosaurus rex. His coloring appears to be an homage to the original T Rex Megatron from the inaugural Beast Wars line. He is a redeco of Classics Mini-Con, Terrorsaur. 

Windrazor is the fourth of the 2007 Micron Boosters, sold exclusively in Japan in blind-box packaging. She turns into a pink sports motorcycle. An Autobot, she is a redeco of Classics Dirt Rocket.

Apexus is the third of the 2007 Micron Boosters released via blind-box packaging in Japan. A Maximal, he turns into a mechanical tiger. He is a redeco of the Classics Mini-Con, Snarl.

Although branded as a G1 line with the use of the classic logo on its blind-box packaging, this 2007 series of Micron Boosters also included Predacons and Maximals. Gredator turns into a mechanical wolf and is a Predacon. 

Moving onto the last assortment of Micron Boosters, which takes us to 2007 in Japan. These were the Japanese import of the Classics line of Mini-Cons, which were not otherwise released. The blind-box packaging is the old original logo, suggesting these toys are from the Generation 1 series. First up is Radrogue, who is a redeco of Classics Strongarm. He is definitely an Autobot, and turns into a police car.

The last of the 2005 Micron Boosters in Japan is Plug. Plug is a redeco of Oval, a member of the  Street Speed Mini-Con Team  from  Cybertron.  Plug turns into a Saleen S7 luxury car. 

Another redeco from Cybertron' s  Street Speed Mini-Con Team  is Jack .  A redeco of Spiral, Jack turns into a modified Mercedes CLK DTM luxury car. Jack was available in blind-box packaging in Japan in 2005.

Nearing the end of the 2005 Micron Boosters, with the final three being redecoes of the Street Speed Mini-Con Team from Cybertron.  First up is Dice (a redeco of Backtrack) who turns into a purple Cadillac XLR luxury car with a police light bar on the roof (though no other police markings). Dice was available in blind-box packaging in Japan.

Bit turns into a helicopter, and was part of the 2005 blind-boxed Micron Booster assortment available exclusively in Japan. Prior to that release, this design was the basis of Jolt from the Cybertron Mini-Cons,  which was also released in Japan as Hop.

Plier turns into a Dodge Ram pickup truck. He is a reuse of the Cybertron Mini-Con Reverb design, which was also the basis of Galaxy Force Bumper. Plier was available as a blind-box release in Japan in 2005.

Socket is part of the 2005 Micron Booster assortments who turns into Toyota GT-One Le Mans-style race car. This same design was also used to make Six-Speed in Cybertron , and Blit in Galaxy Force.  Socket is the 7th of the 12 Boosters sold in a blind-box style in Japan.

Part of the 2005 Micron Boosters collection bolstering the Galaxy Force toyline in Japan, Trigger turns into a tank. He is a redeco of Crumplezone , a Mini-Con originally packed with Cyclonus in the Armada line. He was later renamed Heavy Barrel in 2014 in a IDW Comics appearance. 

Another Mini-Con redeco made available in Japan as a blind-box exclusive in 2005, Wrench is the same design as Incinerator , previously available in Armada and Universe .  Wrench turns into a Cybetronic drag racer.

I've drawn Clamp before, as Refute an Armada Mini-Con who also showed up in the  Universe line . He turns into a pincer-armed heavy vehicle and the toy could articulate the pincers by rolling its gear mechanism. This version of the character was available in 2005 in blind box assortments in Japan. He was renamed Grip-Lock in English-language fiction.
