Desire

Desire is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
He is totally not a streetcar.

Desire (ディザイアー Dizaiā) is the leader of the Train Team, even though he has no memories of his life before he evolved into a Micromaster. Carrying a fragment of the Matrix within him, the key to Sixtrain's "Red Mode" ultimate attack, Desire burns with an urge to eradicate evil in all forms. This drive has made him very popular among the Autobots, and a charismatic leader.

Fiction

[edit]

Micromaster

[edit]

Desire and the other Train Team members used their combined "Red Mode" to drive the Decepticon Sixwing from an excavation site at the base of a dormant volcano. When two pieces of Cybertronian metal were unearthed, Desire noted that the fragments had to have been there for at least three million years, judging from the depth where they were found. The team had to re-combine to drive off yet another attack by Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!! After the construction of Metrobase, he helped the newly arrived Multiforce fight back Sixwing, though Desire was wary of the newcomers at first. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!

Operation Combination

[edit]

Years later, Desire and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon High Regent Scrash. Operation Combination

None of the combiner team individuals ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot modes.

Train Wars

[edit]

The Trainbots were heavily injured fighting the Nine Great Demon Generals in the form of Raiden, leaving them requiring extensive repairs. Blaming himself for their condition, Shouki left the team so that his leadership would never endanger them again. Sixtrain stood watch over Shouki's elective reformatting into a spy shuttlecraft at Metrobase. Shouki & Daniel Chapter

Later, just as Cybertron seemed lost to the interdimensional incursion of the Fallen, Shouki and the ragtag band of Transformers left to defend Cybertron were greeted by Desire along with D-Go and Shouki's old comrade Suiken. The other Trainbots had arrived astride Metroplex, bringing with them the Train Team and the Liner Team! Chiding his brother for being as solemn as ever, Yukikaze reminded Shouki the Trainbots would always have his back. With that, on Windy's count all three teams of train 'bots combined into the Trainbot Omni-Car Joint to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the cosmic evil by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode.

In 2038, Desire was on Zone when it was invaded by the forces of Violengiguar and Dark Nova.

Toys

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
  • Sixtrain (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-05
Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Desire is an extensive retooling of the Sixliner component Spark, transforming into a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}300 Series Shinkansen|{{#if:||300 Series Shinkansen}}]]. He has a "socket" connector tab in the back of his train mode allows him to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector.
He can also form the chest of either of the train-team combiners, but his nominal placement is as the chest of Sixtrain (he can also form the back of any combiner, but so can any other Micromaster, really).
He was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with this fellow Micromasters Atlan, Convertor, Raise, San D-Go, and Windy.
The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after Transformers had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.


Micromaster

[edit]
He's not a U2 song, either.
  • Desire (Micromaster, 2003)
  • ID number: 1
  • Accessories: Sixtrain right foot
In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifth The Transformers: Micromaster assortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensively redecoed, plus the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications: Desire's train mode doesn't change a lot, with extra black window paint, gray framing on his front window, and darker blue striping. But his robot mode changes significantly, going from red plastic to blue, with his head going from yellow to red, plus a silver midriff. Oh, and he loses the toe deco.
On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-red-plastic, minimally-painted "Red Mode" chase figures. Even the combiner kibble was cast in red.
This toy was sold without changes in the Hasbro 2003 Universe line as Railspike.


Notes

[edit]
  • Desire, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster release a decade after his original Operation Combination release.
