I remember seeing them in the catalogs but I never got into the micronauts.I don't even remember any of my friends having any.

#9 is a star searcher, one of my faves.

I think #7 is the Hornetroid.

Looking back at this line it really was amazingly cool. Just imagine if it had been released in a Star Wars-less world. They may have been as big as WGSH's.

Interesting stuff!

The Hornetroid picture shown is the intermediary prototype, which I have a picture of from the HMS Company's files (and which Brian included in his "Prototype Week" updateds). Notice it has a missile launcher at the wing-mounting, among other differences.

Vehicle 6 isn't simply a Galactic Crusier, but the special blue edition that was exclusive to Montgomery Wards. I didn't realize that they were still offering it as late as 1979. In addition to being blue, it was packaged in a brown box, and included both a Time Traveler figure and a wind-up motor - both of which weren't included in the regular edition of the toy.
