I am quite literally making that noise Peter Griffin makes when he gets excited.
PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL AND NOT A HOAX!
...Although I don't think Bug would look good with that backlighting.

Kal Penn would make an excellent Bug, imo.

They don't own Bug though.

Bit of an error in the article regarding the lack of a Micronauts cartoon:

Devoid of the Marvel characters, I think this may be the perfect property for Abrams to turn into another brain-dead, post-content amusement ride.

Marvel doesn't own Time Traveler. He was part of the initial toy line, created in 1976. Heck, there almost wouldn't have even been a Micronaut toy line without Time Traveler; he was so bog standard, coming with every vehicle. Marvel just owns the specific characters Bug, Rann, and Mari (and a lot of the aliens they encountered in their series). Mego pretty much owns the rest. Originally Posted by hugh45
When he was introduced, Bug was Galactic Warrior. The original Galactic Warrior toy was humanoid though (no antennae or anything). Rann was Space Glider. There will probably be a Space Glider of a different name.Last edited by The Black Guardian; 11-07-2009 at 12:38 PM.

Bug being a current regular in Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't a clue? Originally Posted by hugh45

Micronauts !!!
One of my favorite series ever. Never imagined it could even be conceivable such a high end movie person would ever be attached. Great !!
I've heard about the cartoon possibility, like Captain Marvel, for years. Huge potential here.
Can't wait for this to happen.
