Chain Gun is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Chain Gun (チェーンガン Chēn Gan) is the leader of the Wing Team, and also the strongest of them. In fact, his strength is what got him the position as leader, along with his incredible skill at aerial combat and silent-flight capabilities. He prefers to stealthily attack his opponents from behind, catching them by surprise.

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
  • Sixwing (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)
  • ID number: TF-02
  • Accessories: Rotor blade
Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Chain Gun transforms into an Apache-style assault helicopter. He can also form the back or chest to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Sixteam, though his nominal placement is as the back of Sixwing.
He was only available as part of a complete Sixwing gift set, packed with his teammates Falcon, Flanker, Missile Run, Raker, and Supersonic.
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 the Universe Aerialbot Ro-Tor.


Micromaster

[edit]

Here comes the helicopter. Second time today.
  • Chain Gun (Micromaster, 2003)
  • ID number: 1
  • Accessories: Rotor blade, Sixwing legs
In 2003, the entire Sixwing team was redecoed as part of the third assortment of The Transformers: Micromaster toys, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. Unlike the two prior waves, the entire Team's colors have been extensively changed (well, in most cases, we'll get there), with all-new base plastic colors and new paint applications rather than stickers... plus they were sold as Decepticons. Chain Gun is broadly the same as his original deco, but he has more black paint in robot mode, an aqua rotor blade, and Decepticon sigils painted on his stabilizer wings.
On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-white-plastic, nigh-unpainted "Berserker"-mode chase figures with purple Autobot sigils. Even the combiner kibble was cast in white plastic, albeit a little more milky in tone. These toys came in the same boxes with the same instructions as the normal versions.

Notes

[edit]
  • Chain Gun, 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.
  • Despite having 4 blades on his rotor just like a real AH-64 Apache in some appearances as a component of Sixwing in comics, every toy of his mold only has two.
