Falcon (OC)

The name or term "Falcon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Falcon (disambiguation).

Falcon is a Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Dinobot had cooler last words.

Falcon (ファルコン Farukon) is a member of the Wing Team. He's the hardest-working member of the team, following his commander Chain Gun's orders without hesitation. He never says much that's not related to battle, behavior that hides an inquisitive mind. During his time as a Decepticon, he always wondered just why it was that he and his fellow Cyberdroids were reprogrammed by that freak dimensional wavefront. But like the dedicated soldier he is, he never once gave voice to this uncertainty of purpose, and never once let it affect his performance.

Falcon combines with the Wing Team to form Sixwing.

Fiction

Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Micromaster

Falcon was one of several Autobot Cyberdroids who were mutated into Decepticon Micromasters by a mysterious dimensional shockwave. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, he and his fellow Decepticons began causing trouble. A New Transformer Legend Begins!! Shortly after the arrival of Sixturbo on the Autobots' side, Falcon and the SixWing combiners observed the Autobots attempts to fight off the mind changer virus. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!

Falcon joined his teammates to form Sixwing and attack the Autobots' base after a failed attempt by Missile Run to steal some Cyberdroid capsules. During the course of the battle, Sixwing took a blast from the Autobots' experimental Vaccine Program Gun, intended to return their original Autobot programming, but instead giving the Wing Team the power of the Berserker. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!

Later, Sixwing was routed by the newly arrived Sixtrain, who used his "Red Mode" power to blast him into his components. The team fled, leaving the Autobots free to examine the Decepticons' excavation site near a dormant volcano. Once the Autobots dug up a pair of metal plates of Cybertronian origin, Chain Gun called for another attack to snatch the prizes, the team once again forming Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

Operation Combination

Years later, Falcon (now an Autobot once again) 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.

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

The Decepticons Falcon and Flanker, pursued by a group of Insecticons, ran across the Hot Rod Patrol and Race Track Patrol in neutral territory. Destined for Nothing This moment of confusion gave the Insecticons the chance to catch up, and Venom stabbed Falcon in the back, quickly draining him of all his energon. The Gray Race

Actually, my legal name is Sam Wilson.

• Sixwing (Micromaster Six-Team, 1992)

• ID number: TF-02

Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Falcon transforms into an F-16 Falcon fighter jet (which makes his name oh so clever). He can also form either leg to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Sixteam, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Sixwing. (He can form a rather stumpy and awkward arm as well, but requires the Sixturbo fists to do so.)

The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Falcon compatible with Powerlinx ports and hundreds of other toys and accessories.

He was only available as part of a complete Sixwing gift set, packed with his teammates Chain Gun, Flanker, Missile Run, Raker, and Supersonic.

This mold was also used to make the Universe Aerialbot Silverbolt.

Micromaster

But you can call me Millennium Solo.

• Falcon (Micromaster, 2003)

• ID number: 6
• Accessories: Sixwing left foot

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, with all-new base plastic colors and new paint applications rather than stickers... plus they were sold as Decepticons. Falcon was pretty heavily changed, taking on a 1988-Decepticon-style gray, lavender and aqua color scheme.

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

• Falcon, 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.
