Monster Trucks Sub-Lines
Capitalizing on the extreme popularity of the Monster Trucks series, various sub-lines related to the Monster Trucks were released. While the Mondo group were not officially branded as Micro Machines, the brazen use of the Micro Machines labeled vehicle made is a necessary addition here.

Crankers
This 1991 series was short-lived with just 4 collections indicated on the cards. However, two known rare variations for collections #1 and #4 makes for a full series run of 6 different collections or 10 different vehicles. Additional Argentina and Italian collections are shown.

Crushers
These miniature battery operated vehicles were a fun addition to the Monster Trucks sub-lines. They are smaller than the earlier planned prototype series (pictures coming soon), but still large enough to be a popular run in 1991 and also with collectors today. There were 12 sets listed on the cards, however, there were 2 additional military style vehicles added as variants for a total of 14 vehicles to collect. The military vehicles were likely meant to be part of a planned 2nd release of this series, but none of the others made it to the toy shelves. 9 of the 10 planned additional vehicles will be added shortly once pictures are taken. A full set of all 12 sets from the USA are shown as well as the 2 variants on Spanish cards. Additional Spanish sets and an Italian set are shown for reference.

Mondo/Monster Trucks Collection (Tuff Trax Series)
While these Tuff Trax Monster Trucks and Mondo Trucks were not official Micro Machines collections, they were produced by Galoob and the Micro Machines logo makes for an interesting addition to this theme section. Sealed Mondo Trucks (or at least still with the packaging) are very rare to find. Two versions (presumably from different years of release) of the Micro Machines Mondo Truck are shown below.

Stunt Maniacs
The Stunt Maniacs series has not found a large following with collectors yet it appears, but they're a fun 1991 addition and relatively easy to find with only 4 different collections released. Complete USA, German, French, and Spanish collections are shown below for reference. Two Italian examples are included too. The German collections are identical to the USA sets, however, the card-backs are different with some German text added.
