- Series: III
- Number: 4 of 6
- Accessories: Rail Racer right foot
- Universe Midnight Express is physically identical to the 2003 Takara reissue version of Windy, transforming into a 400 Series Shinkansen. He has a flip-down "socket" arm on his train-mode back-end that lets him link up with any of his teammates with a "peg" link-arm. He can form a leg to any Micromaster train-form "Sixteam" combined robot, but his nominal placement is as the right leg of Rail Racer.
- Like all of the Railbots, he was originally a KB Toys exclusive, but later made his way to other outlets, most notably drugstores like CVS.

- Series: III
- Number: 4 of 6
- Accessories: Rail Racer right foot
- Midnight Express and the rest of the Universe Micromasters were released in the "main" line in Europe under the Cybertron line. Presumably this is because the Universe line was never released in the European market. Why the Micromasters were the only part of the Universe line to get a European release in unknown, but it probably had something to do with their sub-Basic class size and previously being Japanese-exclusive molds.
