they were robots, i remember i had one that was black, a Darth Vader rip off for sure...his head, arms and legs were removable, they had silver balls on the end and the sockets on his body had magnets...his fists shot off when you pressed a button...i remember having the sheet that showed the whole collection of figures and ships, there was a white version of the guy i had, probably the good guy...you could mix and match their arms and legs if you took them off

i searched "80s magnetic figures" and all i found was Starcom - they were cool too...but not what i'm looking for

God knows how or why this popped into my head today...

    I don't remember micronauts but the first toy that I thought of when I saw this thread was Shogun Warriors. Anyone remember those? I think they were around in the late 70s or early 80s. They were these big robot warriors that shot rockets and missiles. I think they even had a Godzilla one.
