The Radar Hover W Team is a team of Autobot Micromasters from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Radar Hover W Team (レーダーホバーWチーム Rēdā Hobā Daburu Chīmu, lit. "Radar Hover Double Team"), are an unusual pairing to be sure, but a strangely effective one. The Radar Team can catch airborne enemies while the Hover Team are very effective oceanic warriors. Neither team is a slouch in land-based combat either, making them very well-rounded. Together they can create the "Attack Barrier Wave", a nigh-impenetrable shield that can reflect attacks, turning them against their attackers.

The Team consists of:

  • ID number: C-366
  • Accessories: Micro Trailer #6
Released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, the Shuttle Rocket W Team is made up of two pairs of Micromasters who each transform into half of a larger vehicle, able to swap around to make some interesting combinations. Barrage and Heave form a radar truck, while Power Run and Strikedown form a passenger hovercraft (all identical to their Astro Squad and Metro Squad counterparts, respectively).
On top of that, the set comes with Micro Trailer #6, a storage/launching vehicle for Micromasters which can also attach to a Micromaster half-vehicle, plus an extra decal sheet with optional stickers to adorn your Team with.


Notes

[edit]
  • The letter "W" is often used in Japanese media in place of the word "double", as the letter "W" (double-u) is pronounced the same as "double" in Japanese (daburu), making them interchangeable with one another. This same word play scheme was previously used for the W Cassettebots during The Headmasters.
