As quoted from the Mego toy commercial - "Here come the Trons!" The Micronaut line was growing by leaps and bounds, and no toy line is complete without a few battery-operated toys, so Mego followed suit. The Trons included a few big robots and a few small ones too. It was this kind of diversity that made the Micronauts such a successful line. The robots were cool enough on their own, but when the batteries were added, it just increased the playability factor. And of course, they were all 5mm compatible, which enabled them to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the line, even with their size difference. The Trons in the Micronaut line were mostly treated like workhorses, whereas in the Microman manga, they were more like heroes. So like the rest of the line, the Trons were divided into good and bad guys. A few were based on existing Microman toys, then later, Mego added their own twist, and created new Trons from the old. The Trons were a very unique part of the overall line, and it would not be complete without them. (As a side note, the Giant Acroyear is included in the Trons section, even though he was not battery operated. But he fits in as a giant robot, so why not?)
