| This article is about the Generation One Micromaster. For the Decepticon Insecticon from RID 2015 who sometimes goes by a similar name, see Shadow Raker. |
- Raker is a Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Raker (レイカー Reikā) specializes in high-altitude assault, striking ground-based opponents with frightening accuracy while keeping well out of range of any counter-fire. He's also the only member of the Wing Team who can achieve orbit unassisted and is a capable warrior in zero-gravity environments. He's also a shameless flirt to female robots which can often override his logic circuits and interfere with his operations.
Fiction
Micromaster
Raker 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, Raker and the Sixwing combiners observed the Autobots' attempts to fight off the mind changer virus. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!! Later, Raker waited outside the Autobots' base while Missile Run infiltrated it in an attempt to steal several Cyberdroid capsules. When the Decepticon was interrupted in his task Raker was called in, blasting the side of the base and creating a hole for Missile Run to escape through. The team then combined into Sixwing to simply destroy whatever they could. 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 Beserker. 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, Raker (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 Decepticon High Regent Scrash. Operation Combination
Toys
Operation Combination
- Sixwing (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-02
- The original version of Raker was available only as part of a Sixwing gift set in Japan, transforming into a Space Shuttle. He can also form the right to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Six-Team, though his nominal placement is as the arm of Sixwing. (He can be placed in the left arm position, but since only the right Sixwing fist will work with him, he'd end up with a backwards fist.) The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Raker compatible with Powerlinx ports. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
Micromaster
- Raker (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixwing ID number: 3
- Accessories: Sixwing right fist, rifle
- In 2003, the entire Sixwing team was extensively 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.
- Berserker Raker (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixwing ID number: 3
- Accessories: Sixwing right fist, rifle
- In every case of twelve Wing Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-white-plastic "Berserker" variations with purple Autobot sigils. All six Micromasters were available in this manner.
Notes
- Raker, 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.
- His name and ladybot-wooing ways is most likely a reference to the James Bond movie Moonraker which featured a Space Shuttle.
