Toys R Us Exclusive Micro-Bikes Set - Hyper Speeder and Tornado Bison (8/2000)

Takara repaint L-14 Mach Speeder and L-15 Road Bison (which were repaint of G2 Transformers Road Rocket and Road Pig) and offer them as Toys R Us Exclusives. Hyper Speeder is a repaint of Mach Speeder and comes with Master Microman Laser Arthur (distinguish by his gold color head and pelvic) and Tornado Bison is a repaint of Road Bison and comes with Laser version of Microman Shakunetsu.

Hyper Speeder is bright lemon yellow color and Tornado Bison is bright orange. Both Micro Bikes have green tint clear parts. The joints on both the MicroBikes and the Microman figures are much tighter than the L-14 & L-15 which is a very big improvement and it's nice to see Takara care enough to correct the problem.

Master Microman Laser Arthur is in red clear red with yellow trim. He has a gold head and gold pelvic. The gold color head and pelvic seems to be an indication of Master Microman status. Master Arthur also comes with a set of LED Powers weapons and Magne Shields. Laser Shakunetsu is clear yellow with reddish orange trim. Microman Shakunetsu was a new character created by BomBom Comic last year. His design came from combination of winning entries by Microman fans. Last year Takara released Magne Power Shakunetsu as BomBom comic mail-away special. (See also Magne Microman Shakunetsu). Laser Shakunetsu color scheme is similar to that of the Magne version. Laser Shakunetsu however do not comes with matching Energy Backpack, instead he comes with clear orange Energy Pack that match his bike.
