Windy is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Gotta look cute while binding Satan.

Windy (ウィンディー Windī) is a splendiferous young female warrior. The baby of the Train Team, her mental age is roughly equal to that of a human teenage girl, making her more obsessed with love and gossip than battle. Still, she possesses a beautiful singing voice, making her the "idol" of the Autobots; it's even said that she has hidden fans among the Decepticons!

Fiction

[edit]

Micromaster

[edit]

Windy and the other Sixtrain Train Team members used their combined "Red Mode" to drive the Decepticon Sixwing from an excavation site at the base of a dormant volcano. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes the Autobots had dug up. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!! Later, the team bore witness to the Multiforce's ability to pair up and form larger robots, an ability Windy couldn't help but gasp out loud in awe over.

Legends comic

Operation Combination

[edit]

Years later, Windy 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.

Toys

[edit]

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
Welcome to Windy City!
  • Sixtrain (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-05
Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Windy transforms into a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}400 Series Shinkansen|{{#if:||400 Series Shinkansen}}]]. She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. She is unique among the Sixtrain team in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is a redeco or retooling of a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart" Joe.
Windy can also form either leg of the two train-themed Micromaster Six-Team super robots (Sixtrain or Sixliner), but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain.
She was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with her fellow Micromasters Desire, Convertor, Raise, and San D-Go.
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]
Who's tripping down the streets of the city, smilin' at everybody she sees?
  • Windy (Micromaster, 2003)
  • ID number: 5
  • Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
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. Overall, Windy hasn't changed too much, mostly being a slightly different shade of gunmetal in train mode, but now with her windows and the surrounding frame painted, plus a silver nosecone. In robot mode, she now has a more involved robot mode paint layout, now in both orange and silver rather than green.
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy!
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 Midnight Express.

Notes

[edit]
  • Windy, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until her Micromaster release a decade after her original Operation Combination release.
  • While her head ornamentation does resemble a bow and a mohawk haircut, Windy is probably not intended to resemble [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Wendy O. Williams|{{#if:||Wendy O. Williams}}]]. Or [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}List of Mario franchise characters#Koopalings|{{#if:Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy O. Koopa|List of Mario franchise characters#Koopalings}}]].
