What are Lord Business's small robots called in The Lego Movie?

Lord Business’s small robots in The Lego Movie are called Micro Managers.

They are compact mechanical drones used by Lord Business to impose order across the Lego world. The robots help enforce his plan to freeze the world with the Kragle, targeting Master Builders and interfering with anyone who creates freely instead of following instructions.

The name is easy to confuse with Robo SWAT, another group of machines serving Lord Business. Robo SWAT units resemble police or security forces, while Micro Managers are the smaller, hovering enforcement robots associated with surveillance, capture, and control. The “micro” in their name describes their diminutive size and their role as numerous minions rather than a single large machine.

Micro Managers also appear in other franchise-related material, including Lego Dimensions, which reinforces the name as the canonical term rather than a nickname used only in the first film.
