Botropolis was the possible location of one of thirteen Titans, alongside Cybertron, Unicron, Dominius, Nebulos, Junkion, Antilla, Paradron, Caminus, Earth, Velocitron, Biosfera, Aquatron, Micron, and Gigantion.

The two vehicle halves fit together with a 5mm peg and are quite sturdy - and like other Micromasters, are too big for the roads and bridges of this base.

A runway, shuttle launchpad and crane area may look unassuming, but each can transform into an Autobot. Goes well with his Earthrise Skylinx he will be building this setup for all his collector friends to be jealous!

Moonrock and Missile Master combine to make a rocket truck thing, which is a retool of Direct-Hit and Power Punch. When Sky Lynx was sucked into a volatile rift, Ironworks, Overair, and the Astro Squad encountered the roving comet carrying a densely populated city known as Botropolis. Whether transformed or as Botropolis, these Transformers are ready to scour the universe on a rescue mission that’s sure to turn up some Decepticons along the way. There's nothing bad about it, but it was released way after Christmas with non-recognizable characters during a period of new product announcements and some of the best revisions to the main cast in years.

It might have done better in another configuration or another retailer, or as a pack-in for the Sky Lynx toy from 2020 as some plussed-up retailer exclusive.

Nothing's perfect, but it's close enough - I can't imagine they're going to take another crack at Micromasters in the next several years without a breakthrough in manufacturing.
