	When [[Christmas]] rolled around, Shouki and co got into the spirit of the season when they joined the Autobot Headmasters in handing out gifts at a Japanese children's hospital, even going so far as to procure an enormous Santa hat to don as Raiden and carry a huge sack. The merriment was soon interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Headmasters, but rather than join the battle, the Trainbots followed Chromedome's instruction to disengage, decombining and flying the hospital's patients to safety in their respective train modes.{{storylink\|The Headmasters issue 6\|The Headmasters #6}}		When [[Christmas]] rolled around, Shouki and co got into the spirit of the season when they joined the Autobot Headmasters in handing out gifts at a Japanese children's hospital, even going so far as to procure an enormous Santa hat to don as Raiden and carry a huge sack.

	: Shouki includes seat parts scaled to fit two figures in his front cabin, both ''Masterpiece'' human figures or—in a cheeky reference to the Trainbots' significantly higher profile in the [[pre-~~Transformer~~]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline—pilots from the 2016 ''Diaclone'' toyline via a pair of flip-down "booster seats". The figure includes Raiden's chest plate for torso mode, which can be stored in his front cabin in both train and robot mode (and during the conversion, if you're feeling ambitious) or be used as a shield. Shouki's gun can be stowed in his right calf in robot mode and his undercarriage in train mode.		: Shouki includes seat parts scaled to fit two figures in his front cabin, both ''Masterpiece'' human figures or—in a cheeky reference to the Trainbots' significantly higher profile in the [[pre-Transformers\|pre-''Transformers'']] ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline—pilots from the 2016 ''Diaclone'' toyline via a pair of flip-down "booster seats".

	: Lastly, the figure includes two modular railway sections slated to combine with segments included with the other Trainbots à la the team's original ''Diaclone'' plastic tracks. This track can be converted into a base for a stand armature (sold separately), and an adapter is included for display as either a "flying train" (a staple of the ''Headmasters'' cartoon) or a dismembered torso display while you wait for the rest of the combiner.

In due course, the Decepticon approached Shouki and was wholly fooled by his disguise, allowing the Autobot and Daniel to strike down Kickback and incinerate the data he was carrying. Though Daniel congratulated Shouki on a job well done, the Autobot wasn't too keen on partnering himself with the boy; remembering what had happened to his comrades from [[Micro\|Zone]], Shouki urged Daniel to distance himself from him so that he wouldn't come into harm's way. The conversation was interrupted by an emergency signal emanating from Cybertron, and the pair took off for the mechanical world.

	Upon arrival, Shouki was accosted by [[The Fallen]], who had burned his way to Cybertron's core in order to reach [[Vector Sigma]]. The ancient Transformer sardonically thanked [[Overdrive]] for guiding him to his goal, a statement which Shouki misinterpreted as meaning that Overdrive was in cahoots with The Fallen. He prepared to blast Overdrive, only to be stopped by [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]]. The elder advised Shouki to consider the situation at hand without letting his emotions cloud his judgement. Alpha Trion furthermore directed Shouki's attention to Vector Sigma as it activated itself, prompting Overdrive to petition his [[spark]] and his [[Quantum Dial]] to the super-computer in order to stave off The Fallen. To Shouki's disbelief, the pact was made and several cosmically displaced Transformers materialized about to fight back against The Fallen. {{storylink\|Train Wars}}		Upon arrival, Shouki was accosted by [[The Fallen]], who had burned his way to Cybertron's core in order to reach [[Vector Sigma]].

	After [[Kickback (G1)\|Kickback]] had stolen data specs of [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]]'s [[Metrowars\|new body]], Shouki disguised himself as the ''Thunder Arrow'' and lay in wait for the [[Insecticon (G1)\|Insecticon]] to come to him. In due course, the Decepticon approached Shouki and was wholly fooled by his disguise, allowing the Autobot and Daniel to strike down Kickback and incinerate the data he was carrying. Though Daniel congratulated Shouki on a job well done, the Autobot wasn't too keen on partnering himself with the boy; remembering what had happened to his comrades from [[Micro\|Zone]], Shouki urged Daniel to distance himself from him so that he wouldn't come into harm's way. The conversation was interrupted by an emergency signal emanating from Cybertron, and the pair took off for the mechanical world.

	Upon arrival, Shouki was accosted by [[The Fallen]], who had burned his way to Cybertron's core in order to reach [[Vector Sigma]]. The ancient Transformer sardonically thanked [[Overdrive]] for guiding him to his goal, a statement which Shouki misinterpreted as meaning that Overdrive was in cahoots with The Fallen. He prepared to blast Overdrive, only to be stopped by [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]]. The elder advised Shouki to consider the situation at hand without letting his emotions cloud his judgement. Alpha Trion furthermore directed Shouki's attention to Vector Sigma as it activated itself, prompting Overdrive to petition his [[spark]] and his [[Quantum Dial]] to the super-computer in order to stave off The Fallen. To Shouki's disbelief, the pact was made and several cosmically displaced Transformers materialized about to fight back against The Fallen. {{storylink\|Train Wars}}		Upon arrival, Shouki was accosted by [[The Fallen]], who had burned his way to Cybertron's core in order to reach [[Vector Sigma]].
