“Micronauts” was a 1976-1980 toy line from now-defunct toy company Mego about a group of warriors fighting a totalitarian regime in a subatomic universe. It was based on a similar Japanese toy line and would later inspire elements of Hasbro’s “Transformers.” Marvel comics published a “Micronauts” comic series from 1979 to 1986.
