There were also larger, battery-powered vehicles called the Mecha Cosmo series. These were Auto Buggy ( Ultronic Scooter), Bull Crane ( Crater Cruncher), Formula Z ( Warp Racer) and Super Jet ( Photon Sled).

To start with, there was the Machine Car series of wind-up vehicles. There were a great many vehicles and playsets in the 1975 lineup, most of which went on to become part of the Micronauts line. This was the beginning of the Super Steel line, which would be released overseas as Micronauts Space Glider and Galactic Warrior. Bridging the gap between releases, Takara also produced a diecast metal version of the Founders figure. The Founders, which remained a part of the lineup despite being incompatible with the new look, eventually got a makeover and became the M10x series, evolving to look familiar to US fans, with shoes, 5mm ports and longer wrist cuffs. Instead, the new figures (known as the M11x and M12x series) featured shoes with 5mm holes on the bottoms and a similar hole in the figures' back as well. Gone (with one exception) were the translucent bodies, gone were the delecate bare feet and the chromed chest piece. Apart from the interior mechanics (which had themselves evolved over the course of the previous year) and the continuation of chromed heads, the new figures could not have been more different from the Founders. Two new sets of figures formed the core of the new lineup, with the first of the villians soon to follow.

Pulling away from Cyborg, Microman became a full featured line all on its own in 1975. These were Bulk Lifter (which became the Micronauts Hydra), Space Buggy (which became Galactic Cruiser) and Sky Roader - for which there is no Micronauts equivalent. Rounding out the 1974 series were three larger vehicles known as collectively as Cosmo Cars. The initial four vehicle/figure sets were Sky Rambler, Gyrotto, Hot Roader, and Beam Tripler, none of which became Micronauts. The Founder Micromen came in the same four colors as Time Traveler, but unlike the MEGO figures where the chest pieces were random, these chest pieces were specific to each figure in both style and chrome color. These were released in 1974 and also included the M-115 Connig Tower, known to Micronauts fans as the Mobile Exploration Lab. Initially available only in kits with vehicles, this early incarnation was tied to the Henshin Cyborg line. The first "Founder" Micromen were similar to Time Traveller but with bare feet and no 5mm port in back.
