The '''D-512 Stanwich Steamer''', affectionately nicknamed '''"Grandpa"''' may have been replaced by more efficient, less polluting trains, but he can still move carriages up and down a railway line.  According to [[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]], he may actually be alive, but he's probably just a steam engine.  Probably.

Grandpa was one of the first trains to run on the tracks near [[Metro City]].  Many many years after the introduction of other forms of trains made steam engines obsolete, it was painstakingly restored.

Information was stored on a [[floppy disk]] by [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Onishi]] for his son, [[Koji Onishi|Koji]], and given to [[Doctor Yoshimoto]] for safekeeping.  The disk fell into the hands of the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]]s, who had trouble reviewing the contents, and concluded that the train was some kind of super weapon.  [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] tasked his men with capturing the train.

The newly-restored Grandpa was making a special passenger run when the Predacons tried to seize it.  Fortunately he was being escorted by the [[Autobot]]s, including [[Team Bullet Train]].  One by one, the Predacons attacked, but were unable to secure the steam engine.  Even [[Gas Skunk]]'s pulse field weapon was useless in stopping it.

Once the train reached its destination and the passengers disembarked, the Predacons saw their chance and stole Grandpa.  With [[Dark Scream]] shoveling coal, it seemed like they would get away with their prize.  Midnight Express refused to give in and followed the steam engine off a cliff into the sea, where he was able to retrieve it before it fell into Megatron's waiting hand.  Grandpa was soon back on dry land and back to pulling carriages. {{storylink|Secret Weapon: D-5}}
