ML1-01 Commanderlady Diane (Microman Microlady Series; Takara; 2005)

The female counterpart to MF1-01 Commander, Diane is loaded with enough gear to supply the whole Microforce. She’s got a big knife, a communicator, a rifle with two clips, chest armor, a targeting visor and an enormous RPG launcher or bazooka or beam cannon or something. (And all of this can stow on her person simultaneously.)

The only thing she lacks is a sidearm, but I’m pretty sure she would just take Commander’s without asking.

Space Glider Gold (Micronauts; Palisades; 2002)

The brief (and afflicted) Micronauts revival line of the early 2000s gave some of the old classics new goodies. Space Glider got a swanky new space blaster. (Also his helmet looks cool on Commander.)

Chromia (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen; Hasbro; 2009)

The three cycle-ladybots didn’t get nearly enough screen time in RotF. I want to know more! Who are they? Are they three characters, or are they all Arcee? Why did they choose such unusual robot modes? I have headcanon for this too, but let’s talk about the toy instead.

Obviously Chromia can’t stand up in robot mode, so Hasbro packaged her with a stand. Instead of just a plastic chunk, they designed it as a piece of equipment: It has treads and two cannons molded on, as if Chromia uses it maybe for a slow-moving heavy assault mode. I dig it.

Also, her whole upper torso splits in half for transformation. That’s why I took pic #5 up there.

Terradive (Transformers; Hasbro; 2010)

Enigmatic Decepticon from one of the post-movie we-need-more-toys eras. There’s virtually no fiction surrounding this character. So!

Headcanon: Terradive is the captain of Straxus’ guard-enforcers, a team mostly concerned with keeping Autobot slaves in line and throwing the unruly ones into the smelting pools. A former bounty hunter, there are rumors he is loyal to Straxus only because the latter saved his life during a botched job. He is obsessed with efficiency, meaning he is not well-liked by his peers. His spear shorts out other mechanoid’s circuitry and, when opened, can emit bursts of electricity. Transforms into a high-speed pursuit jet. No known physical weaknesses, but his poor leadership means he is his own worst enemy.

ML1-02 NinjaLady Shina (Microman Microlady Series; Takara; 2004)

The female counterpart to Ninja Microman (seen in the last pic), Shina forgoes the simple katana and breastplate of her brother for oversized anime ninja weapons and a huge metal headband. She has an articulated ponytail and a double-ended polearm that can combine with her “assassin daggers” to become a “twin lancer.”

Roadblock (G.I. Joe, Hasbro, 1983)

Roadblock is another example of the perfect simplicity of the earlier Joe figures. I love the little touches like how the machine gun’s tripod can clip onto the backpack, and how he can hold the backpack by a handle, and how the backpack has a little removable ammo box.

Spotted this last night at an ice cream parlor, or whatever you’d call an ice cream parlor that deals exclusively in ices. Ice parlor?

It’s the legendary Ms. Pac-Man “cocktail table” arcade game, and surely an original one considering its wear-and-tear. This is on the shortlist of “things I must own someday.” It wasn’t plugged in, but I’m telling myself that it still works fine. (Otherwise my dream of going back there with a wrinkly $100 bill and convincing the owner to sell it for that loses some of its luster.)

There’s a huge contingent of people whose hobbies are restoring machines like this. Just saying. ;)
