Checklist / Contents

Build Base was not missed: it is 1978, Police Keeper era, listed with the Play Build items as Build Base / Build Lancer / Build Crane / Build Bazooka. Micropola separately confirms the Build Base as a large three-level, fold-open base compatible with the Micronauts-style interlocking system.
Micro Change is part of Microman history: Transformerland’s collector guide specifically points out that Micro Change items became important to early Transformers, which is why the gun/camera/watch/cassette/car robots must be counted in a Microman master list.
Caution on “every”: collector sources themselves flag some pieces as uncertain, scarce, prize-only, unreleased, or prototype-like. I included those where the sources name them, but I would not claim the uncertain items have the same status as normal retail releases.
