We bought a few Japanese minicons recentlt, along with lots of other bits, but we have no idea on who they are. We know Phill's an expert, so if he, or anyone else can help we'd appreciate it.
I'll post pics later, but here's some poor descriptions
1) White Duster 2) White Wheel 3) White Crush
What is the name / origin of that set?
4) White Thunderwing
Need the Japanese names, group and origin.
5) Blue Bonecrusher 6) Green Knockout 7) Brown Wreckage
Need the Japanese names, group and origin.
8) Orange / greeny grey Duster 9) Brown / greeny grey Wheel
Need the Japanese names, group and origin.
10) Sonar
Original Japanese version, not sure of name
11) Green / Blue Animatros Forcechip (Galaxy Force) - two of them
Need origin. I don't think it's the Lucky Draw one.
Yes I'm tempted to start a Minicon collection now.

Exact information "pinched" from various sites.
White Crush, Duster and Wheel - White Destruction team exclusives. They were made for a special "Takara Transformers Station" contest held in Japan where people can buy and customize them as part of a competition. Limited to 4000 each. Out in April 2003.
White Thunderwing - I'd have to see a pic of this one.
Toys 'R' Us Destruction team;
Blue Bonecrusher - Bomb Green Knockout - Crack Brown Wreckage - Shot
Toys'R'Us Japan (giveaways for purchase of MC-01 Convoy Super Mode), and Hello Mac (giveaways for purchase of MC-01 Convoy Super Mode). Giveaways for purchase of MC-01 Convoy Super Mode (one per item). Only the first 10 Hello Mac customers to purchase the specified item would receive one of the the Microns Limited to 3,600 pieces each. Released in January, March and May of 2003, so one every 2 months.
Orange / greeny grey Duster, & Brown / greeny grey Wheel
These sound like the X-Dimension ones, but like Thunderwing I'd need to see a pic.
Hope this helps.

All the toys are bagged. The white thunderwing (still to be photographed), has a Galaxy Force instruction sheet with a release date of July 2005 printed on it. Ah just found him www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/galaxyforce/camp/10-cary.htmlTurns out he's Caliber Ichibi (Kyaribaa Ichibi キャリバーキャリバーイチビ) The other two are Itoyokado Wheel and Itoyokado Crush
