1976 Spy Magician

In 1976 Takara also introduced a new Microman ally called the Titans which employed a magnetic ball joint system known as "magnemo". The Magnemo System was another Takara toy line designed for Kotetsu Geeg, a TV show. Acroyear also got reintroduced but this time with a separate designation from Microman instead of "M", they got an "A" prefix instead. Takara's plan was to promote these three Microman sub-series under the MAT campaign (MAT stands for Microman-Acroyear-Titan) using the roundel logo with cartoon drawings of the characters from respective series denoted by their initial lettering on the chest.

Takara also released a new type of Microman toy - the Spy Magician. The series idea started with the release of the Spy Heli vehicle and Spy Micro-Kit Machines (repaint of the Micro-Kit Machine from 1974) The Spy Series would be expanded to include two new Microman types and half a dozen of Spy Car vehicles. The theme behind Spy Magician was one of the highlights of Microman's line feature, with no anime or TV tie-in, the series could take the current fad or popular trend and turn them into theme for Microman's series. This year the fad was the secret agent and the magic act, so by combining the two, Takara came up with this new Microman series.

The later part of 1976, saw an addition to the Titan series with Titan 2. Titan 2 came with two types of accessories - a race car or a flying saucer. (They were the only Microman series with two separate designations but shared the same exact body.) The Acroyears also made the return with the third member - President Acroyears. Acroyears also got their own "magnemo" series under the Uniquer Force name.

As part of the Victory Project, Takara also expanded the Microman figure line-up with "character tie-in" Microman figures - Microman Geeg, Mini Mechadon Robotman, and Mini-Robotman. Takara also released Robotman Gakeen and Robotman Mechadon as part of the Robotman line.

This year the vehicles line up included several repaints of the old toy. Aside from three Micro Kit Machines from 1974 that got reissued as Micro-Kit Spy Machines, the Mecha-Cosmo Micro-Escargot from last year was retooled and sold as Spy Boy Baseball Machines. While the vehicle lineup was quite limited, this year saw the release of the popular Microman Base - the Transfer Fortress. In 1976 also had several significant developments, first Takara commissioned a new Microman comic (manga) for TV Magazine comic book, and Mego, a US toys company, licensed the Microman line to be released in the US and the rest of the world as the Micronauts.
