circa 1973.  They were a faceless, limbless species that didn't survive long
because of their handicaps.  In 1977 a new species evolved called Minifigicus

is still with us today.

There is evidence that Minifigicus Erectus is a subspecies of Maxifigius
Omnipedus (sets 268, 5233, etc.)  It appears that the two coexisted for a short
time before MO died out.  Some think that Technicfigius Erectus may have evolved
from MO, but there is no direct evidence to support such a theory.


Actually MO is a very strange evolution path. There is no relation
between MO and Technifigius as you already stated. Actually, MO evolved
into canadian arms/crane arms and the like..:-)
