| Toward 
        the end of the Micronauts run, Mego began creating its own vehicles as 
        well as figures, in addition to licencing the newer and existing ones 
        from Takara. Taurion was one of these. Released in 1979 in a box, This 
        vehicles design would be used many times over throughout different Mego 
        lines. | 

| Molded 
        in red, white and grey plastic, the main body came with a clear snap-on 
        canopy. Being designed as a small and compact vehicle, it came with few 
        accessories. 2 small vertical control wings, 2 large horizontal control 
        wings, and front wheel with holder. The front wheel went underneath, while 
        in the back fit a wind up motor. This chrome motor would be used again 
        in numerous Micronaut vehicles, due to its adapability with the 5mm peg/hole 
        system. |  | 
|  | When 
        holding the wheels (fitted with rubber tires) you could turn the white 
        nob in a clockwise direction. When released, the wheels would spin propelling 
        the vehicle forward. A surplus of these motors would later be released 
        mainly in the Canadian markets as a 3 pack carded set. The seat in the 
        cockpit was removable, designed to be used with the Micronauts Star Defender. 
        It was then molded in different colors, and fit snuggly atop the elevator 
        tower so a figure could be moved up and into it. Mego again used Taurion 
        for its Pocket Super Heroes line recolored as the Robin 
        Shuttle. Taurion came packaged with instructions and a sticker sheet.
