Supersonic is a Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Everybody's Supersonic racing, gotta keep your feet up off the ground.

Supersonic (スーパーソニック Sūpāsonikku) likes pretty things. He also likes to keep himself as good-looking as possible, flying above clouds to evade rain and avoiding missions that would involve getting himself dirty. These are priorities for him even in battle, which tends to put him at odds with Wing Team leader Chain Gun.

Supersonic combines with the Wing Team to form Sixwing.

Fiction

Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Micromaster

[edit]

Supersonic was one of several Autobot Cyberdroids who were mutated into Decepticon Micromasters by a mysterious dimensional shockwave. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, he and his fellow Decepticons began causing trouble. A New Transformer Legend Begins!! Shortly after the arrival of Sixturbo on the Autobots' side, Supersonic and the Sixwing combiners observed the Autobots attempts to fight off the mind changer virus. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!! Later, Supersonic joined his teammates to form Sixwing and attack the Autobots' base after a failed attempt by Missile Run to steal some Cyberdroid capsules. During the course of the battle, Sixwing took a blast from the Autobots' experimental Vaccine Program Gun, intended to return their original Autobot programming, but instead giving the Wing Team the power of the Berserker. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!

Later, Sixwing was routed by the newly arrived Sixtrain, who used his "Red Mode" power to blast him into his components. The team fled, leaving the Autobots free to examine the Decepticons' excavation site near a dormant volcano. Once the Autobots dug up a pair of metal plates of Cybertronian origin, Chain Gun called for another attack to snatch the prizes, the team once again forming Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

Operation Combination

[edit]

Years later, Supersonic (now an Autobot once again) 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.

Wings Universe

[edit]

At the dawn of the Great War, Supersonic was one of the Decepticons under the command of Warlord Deathsaurus. He participated in a siege on Elite Guard headquarters with the recent recruited Combaticons, but fell during the first wave of the battle. The Coming Storm: Part 5

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Supersonic was a Builder and the official announcer of the Games. He had held the position for at least a dozen stellar cycles, since Buzzclaw's victory in the games, and likely longer. Head Games

As a celebrity and public figure, Supersonic seemingly had a greater energon allotment than most Builders. He frequently used his flight capability while observing and commenting on the Games. At the start of the 1924th Games, Supersonic announced the contestants and oversaw the initial struggle between Sonar and Terragator. His commentary was interrupted, however, by Lio Convoy's Angolmois Blaster. The Maximal struck down the Builder at the height of early Game fervor, ensuring the maximum audience for his call to arms against the Builders. Broken Windshields

Broadcast footage of the assassination of Supersonic was seen shortly thereafter by the crewmembers of the Spooky Action at a Distance and the Dinosaur. Intersectionality

In the millennia that followed the end of the "Unification War", some of the details of Supersonic's death got muddled, with some remembering his killer as being "Black Arachnia". Lio Convoy: Unity Through Tyranny

Toys

[edit]

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
  • Sixwing (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-02
Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Supersonic transforms into a Concorde Super Sonic Transport passenger jet (hence his name). He can also form the left arm to any of the Six-Team combiners, though his nominal placement is as the arm of Sixwing. (He can be placed in the right arm position, but since only the left Sixwing fist will work with him, he'd end up with a backwards fist.)
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Supersonic compatible with loads of other toys and accessories.
He may just be the tallest of all the Micromasters.
He was only available as part of a complete Sixwing gift set, packed with his teammates Chain Gun, Falcon, Flanker, Missile Run, and Raker.
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.
This mold was also used to make the Universe Aerialbot Skydive.


Micromaster

[edit]
I'm super, thanks for asking!
  • Supersonic (Micromaster, 2003)
  • Sixwing ID number: 4
  • Accessories: Sixwing head, left fist
In 2003, the entire Sixwing team was redecoed as part of the third assortment of The Transformers: Micromaster toys, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. Unlike the two prior waves, the entire Team's colors have been extensively changed, with all-new base plastic colors and new paint applications rather than stickers... plus they were sold as Decepticons. Supersonic's jet mode didn't change much outside of a lack of stickers and the addition of lavender striping and Decepticon symbols, while his red robot mode parts are now a very 1988-Decepticon pink.
On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-white-plastic, nigh-unpainted "Berserker"-mode chase figures with purple Autobot sigils. Even the combiner kibble was cast in white plastic, albeit a little more milky in tone. These toys came in the same boxes with the same instructions as the normal versions.

Notes

[edit]
  • Supersonic, 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.
  • Beast Wars: Uprising Supersonic combines deco elements of both the Operation Combination and Micromaster versions of Supersonic: the red torso and forearms of the former, and the blue face and pinkish-purple shoulders of the latter. Appropriately, he's shown to have both Autobot and Decepticon insignia.
  • Also in Beast Wars: Uprising, Supersonic uses Huxley Prescott's Robo-camera to film himself at the Games.
