Treader is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tallest Micromaster of them all, except when Freeway gets drunk and claims to be the "World's Biggest Micromaster." What a jerk.

Treader (トレッダー Toreddā) is the bruiser of the Build Team. He really doesn't talk a lot, but his fists say plenty. He feels he owes Crush-Bull a debt he can never truly repay, so he follows him into the worst situations without hesitation. Though he's the quiet type, he's also compassionate; Spark and Leaf in particular idolize him.

He also has an evil counterpart running around.

Mixing was one of several Cyberdroids in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' Earth base. During a particularly pitched battle with the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking human construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in Sixbuilder mode...only for the impostors to do the same! The green Decepticon Sixbuilder announced that the two teams were actually halves of the original whole, and that he would rejoin with Sixbuilder only after all the other Autobots had been destroyed. Sixbuilder the Ill-Fated Warrior!?

Treader helped excavate Mount St. Hillary, where the Autobot Micromasters discovered ancient Cybertronian fragments. Sixwing then attacked, intent on plundering the excavation for himself. Treader helped defend the Autobots' findings while Sixtrain took on Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

Operation Combination

[edit]

Years later, Treader 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.

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
  • Sixbuilder (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-01
Released in the eighth and final year of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line under the Operation Combination banner, Treader transforms into a Wabco 35 Haulpak earth-mover dump-truck. He can also form a leg to any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo and Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's right leg.
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Treader compatible with so many toys... and theoretically making him able to form a Six-combiner arm, but the only fists that can actually attach to him belong to Sixturbo, and their long "shield" parts mean they have to be tilted into a basically useless position, plus the result is a super-stumpy arm.
He was only available as part of a complete Sixbuilder gift set, packed with his teammates Crush-Bull, Digger, Gran Arm, Iron Lift, and Mixing.
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.
This mold was also used to make Universe Micromaster Long Haul, and the evil half of Treader.

Micromaster

[edit]
  • Treader (Micromaster, 2003)
  • Sixbuilder ID number: 5
  • Accessories: Sixbuilder right foot
In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as the fourth wave of The Transformers: Micromaster, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Treader went from black and yellow to almost entirely yellow. Instead of stickers, he was instead covered with a whole new set of paint applications.
On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were in mostly-bright-green decos, as part of the Destron Sixbuilder chase figure. The evil half of Treader came in the same box and with the same packaging as the normal version.

Notes

[edit]
  • Treader, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster release a decade after his original Operation Combination release.
