- Leaf is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Leaf (リーフ Rīfu) is a gentle, romantic soul who enjoys poetry... which is why many are a little wigged out when they see him in battle. Using his wind-manipulation powers with reckless abandon, hurling enemies around, Leaf is a dangerous being in a fight. Get him and fellow Liner Team member Spark going and few can stand in their way.

[edit]

- Sixliner (Micromaster Sixteam, 1991)
- ID number: C-370
- Released in the Return of Convoy part of the original Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Leaf transforms into a "shark nose" 200 Series Shinkansen locomotive. He has a pegged hitch in the back of his train mode allows him to link up to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a socket-style hitch connector. He also has a peg-hole on the top of his train mode that in theory lets him use the Sixliner/Sixtrain legs as the roof-mounted "Giga-Techvolt" cannon... but it only sort of works if you wedge it at an angle so it's pointing sideways due to clearance issues with his roof-detailing.
- He can also form either arm to any Six-team combined robot, though his nominal placement is as the left arm of Sixliner. The toy's connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Leaf compatible with absolutely loads of other toys and accessories.
- He was only available in the complete Sixliner box set, along with this fellow Micromasters Alan, D-Go, Joe, Night, and Spark.
Micromaster
[edit]
- Leaf (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixliner ID number: 4
- Accessories: Left Sixliner footplate
- Part of the first The Transformers: Micromaster assortment, Leaf and his teammates were re-released in Japan in 2002, this time sold in identical individual boxes, identifiable only by the number on their instruction sheets visible through a small hole in the box.
- Like the rest of the Micromaster figures, Leaf's deco has been altered with the removal of all sticker detailing, with a modified deco using paint. Leaf loses his knee deco, but gains so much more in paint on his train mode: a wider windscreen, painted side-windows, yellow side-lights, plus green and white on his arms plus extra green on his back-end sides to make his train mode more cohesive/realistic.
Notes
[edit]- For a time, it was thought that Leaf's name might be "Leif". However, that name is typically rendered in katakana as レイフ (Reifu), rather than Leaf's リーフ (Rīfu).
- Leaf, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster release a decade after his original Return of Convoy release.
- The original Return of Convoy Sixliner instruction booklet shows Leaf towing the (then unnamed) Wingard vehicle. However, Micromaster later assigned it to Night.
