micronauts - large vehicles
|
Astrostation
This is one of my favorite vehicles. It
has two guns, an ejection pod, lots of swivel seats
for time travelers to sit in, and swing out panels.
In terms of shear fun, I don't think any of the vehicles
in the Micronauts line are better than the Astrostation.
|
BattleCruiser
One of the most recognized of the Micronaut toys, the
Battle Cruiser wins hands down as having the most parts
of any micro vehicle. Lots of darts, a motor, a remote
control and lots of interchangeability made the BattleCruiser
a great toy.
|
Mobile Exploration Lab
The largest of the Micronaut vehicles, the MEL can
become a half dozen different vehicles. The cone shaped
front of the MEL comes out to form a little ship. The
vertical tube, the top pod and the base ship can also
become their own vehicles. On the cool side, the MEL
has lots of hidden seating for Micronaut figures and
a child un-friendly dart gun. After the proto-mythical
"swallowing" incident, Mego shipped a glue
peace bonded missile launcher for the MEL.
|
Star Defender
The MEL may have Star Defender beat in physical size,
but no Micronaut ship is as extensible as this baby.
Star Defender packs a Taurion and two Solarion as part
of its complement, as well as two missile launchers
and gripping claws. The body of the Star Defender is
like the Star Searcher's but the parts are somewhat
re-colored. Here's what the catalog says about it:
Micronauts will be safer tonight because Star Defender,
the motorized defense vehicle is near. This super defense
system includes three attack spacecrafts, a crank operated
Micronaut transporter and a forward defense unit with
rotating grapplers.
Although the catalog indicates the Star Defender was
motorized, most people I know with this toy have a non-motorized
version. There was also a Buck Rogers version of this
toy released. If you have a picture of it, please send
it my way!
