In an alternate-timeline/universe, although Windy is a splendiferous female warrior, her mental age is roughly equal to that of a human teenage girl, and she's more obsessed with love and gossip than battle. Still, she possesses a beautiful singing voice, making her the "idol" of the Autobots; it's even said that she has hidden fans among the Decepticons!

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
Welcome to Windy City!
  • Sixtrain (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-05
Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Windy transforms into a 400 Series Shinkansen. She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. She is unique among the Sixtrain team in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is a redeco or retooling of a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart" Joe.
Windy can also form either leg of the two train-themed Micromaster Six-Team super robots (Sixtrain or Sixliner), but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain.
She was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with her fellow Micromasters Desire, Convertor, Raise, and San D-Go.
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.


Micromaster

[edit]
Who's tripping down the streets of the city, smilin' at everybody she sees?
  • Windy (Micromaster, 2003)
  • ID number: 5
  • Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifth The Transformers: Micromaster assortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensively redecoed, plus the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications. Overall, Windy hasn't changed too much, mostly being a slightly different shade of gunmetal in train mode, but now with her windows and the surrounding frame painted, plus a silver nosecone. In robot mode, she now has a more involved robot mode paint layout, now in both orange and silver rather than green.
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy!
On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-red-plastic, minimally-painted "Red Mode" chase figures. Even the combiner kibble was cast in red.
This toy was sold without changes in the Hasbro 2003 Universe line as Midnight Express.

Notes

[edit]
  • Windy, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until her Micromaster release a decade after her original Operation Combination release.
  • While her head ornamentation does resemble a bow and a mohawk haircut, Windy is probably not intended to resemble Wendy O. Williams. Or Wendy O. Koopa.
