History[]
The LEGO Movie[]
In President Business' Office in the Octan Tower, where his relics are stored, a Micro Manager first appears when testing the Kragle on Bad Cop/Good Cop's parents, Pa Cop and Ma Cop. Following the Assault on Cloud Cuckoo Land, Micro Managers are later seen across the ocean searching for "The Special" accompanied by Bad Cop's Police Car (in flying mode) and several Super Secret Police Dropships, and were ordered to return to the Octan Tower by Bad Cop because they could not find "The Special".
Once Taco Tuesday started, the Micro Managers were released from the Detachable Module of the Octan Tower into the LEGO World and started to terrorize realms such as Bricksburg. As a result, everyone started to create war machines out of regular everyday objects to fight against the Micro Managers, as given advice by Wyldstyle. However, it all backfired as "The Man Upstairs" was chastising his son, Finn, for creating hodgepodges of his LEGO creations.
Later, Emmet builds his Construct-O Mech out of various construction equipment and fights against the Micro Managers. After the final confrontation between Emmet and President Business, the Detachable Module explodes and all robots shut down (except 2 Robo SWATs and some Skeletrons).
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part[]
In the beginning of the second film, only the remains of the Micro Managers can be seen as the DUPLO Invaders come to attack Bricksburg.
Trivia[]
- The Micro Managers are inspired by eclectic sources including the ED-209s from RoboCop, the AT-ATs from Star Wars, and the AT-STs from Star Wars.
- While the majority of the Micro Managers are unmanned, some the larger models have cockpits for others such as the Robo SWATs.
- Their behavior is similar to that of the Nixels from the Mixels Series, another LEGO property.
- After the Duplo Invaders devastated Bricksburg, the Micro Manager's fates remain unknown, though it is likely that some of their remains were salvaged for parts of Apocalypseburg. However, there is no confirmation proving this.
