Shuttle Rocket W Team

The Shuttle Rocket W Team is a team of Autobot Micromasters from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Shuttle Rocket W Team (シャトルロケットWチーム Shatoru Roketto Daburu Chīmu, lit. "Shuttle Rocket Double Team") are the experts in outer space combat among the Autobot Micromasters. The two pairings have a friendly rivalry between them, always competing to see which one will take out their Decepticon targets first. Of course, given that they combine their powers to perform their "Galaxy Ray" attack, it's usually a tie.

The Team consists of:

  • Shuttle Rocket W Team (Micro Transformer W Team, 1991)
  • ID number: C-364
  • Accessories: Rocket, Micro Trailer #4
Released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, the Shuttle Rocket W Team is identical to two-thirds of the Hasbro-release Astro Squad, two pairs of Micromasters who each transform into half of a larger vehicle, able to swap around to make some interesting combinations. Phaser and Blast Master form the front and back half of a Space Shuttle (respectively), and Moonrock and Missile Master form the front and back half of a rocket transport truck (also respectively).
On top of that, the set comes with Micro Trailer #4, a storage/launching vehicle for Micromasters which can also attach to a Micromaster half-vehicle, plus an extra decal sheet with optional stickers to adorn your Team with.


Notes

[edit]
  • The letter "W" is often used in Japanese media in place of the word "double", as the letter "W" (double-u) is pronounced the same as "double" in Japanese (daburu), making them interchangeable with one another. This same word play scheme was previously used for the W Cassettebots during The Headmasters.
