The Wingard (ウインガード Uingādo) booster allows the Liner Team's Night to traverse virtually any terrain, even sail over the seas or through the air.
Toys
[edit]Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
[edit]- Sixliner (Micromaster Sixteam, 1991)
- ID number: C-370
- Released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, the Wingard (not actually named as such in this set, but we'll get there) is made up of Sixliner's torso, mounted on either of his footplates to form a towed booster-vehicle. It is technically supposed to attach to the left footplate, since that one has a socket-connector that works with its assigned carrier Night (and any other train-team mold with a peg-style hitch), but naturally it can also use the right footplate with its peg-connector as well.
- This mold set was also used to make the equivalent mini-vehicle/body parts of Sixtrain and Universe Rail Racer, though those have yet to be officially named.
Micromaster
[edit]
- Leaf (Micromaster, 2002)
- ID number: 4
- Accessories: Left Sixliner footplate
- Night (Micromaster, 2002)
- ID number: 6
- Accessories: Sixliner torso
- Part of the first The Transformers: Micromaster assortment, the Wingard (now named in this series' pack-in pamphlets) lost its decals but gained quite a few new pieces of deco in the form of paint operations. Since the team was split up into individual boxes for sale, so too were the combiner kibble pieces; the parts for the Wingard came with Leaf and (of course) Night.
Notes
[edit]- The Wingard's name comes from the much later Micromaster fiction; it was not named in the original Return of Convoy Sixliner instruction booklet. It was also shown to be used by Leaf there, though really only as an example, not a specific assignment. Also, though the Wingard is mentioned in Night's Micromaster bio, his instructions do not otherwise give any indication that the relevant pieces can be combined and used in that manner.
