I know this was rumoured at late last year but i only noticed now http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/11/05/jj-abrams-to-produce-micronauts/ would you consider them a bit obscure to make into a film when we have other big licences that could be made?

Oh lord, I think the biggest issue with that article's report is that it's JJ Abrams. Not quite Michael-Bay-bad, but closer than I'd like.

That being said, I don't think obscurity is an issue with adaptations - I'd much rather studios were concerned with making good films (ie entertaining, well-written, with a reasonable semblance to their source material) rather than just exploiting something that they perceive to have a built-in guaranteed audience no matter how good or bad the film they produce.
