D-Go is an Autobot Micromaster from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

My backpack is an antique!

D-Go (ディーゴ, dī-go) is a member of the Liner Team, six locomotive Micromasters who can combine to form Sixliner. The Liner Team fight alongside Star Convoy, Grandus and Sky Garry to protect the universe from the forces of the mighty Dark Nova. He has the wonderful fortune of being the only steam engine on a team full of bullet trains.

In an alternate-timeline/universe, D-Go is an Autobot Micromaster who serves as both the leader of the Liner Team and the mediator of the Autobot Micromasters in general. Despite his powerful appearance, he's really a sensitive scholar of logic — but when his anger reaches its peak, not even his companions can hold back his might. He's also an extremely skilled sniper.

Toys

Return of Convoy

• Sixliner (Micro Transformer Six-Team, 1991)

Japanese ID number:

Originally released in a giftset with his fellow Micromaster trains, D-Go transforms into a steam locomotive. His rear hitch allows him to connect end-to-end with his teammates Alan, Joe, and Spark. He forms Sixliner's butt.

No, seriously. He does.

This mold was also used to make San D-Go and Universe Overload.

Micromaster Collection

• D-Go (Micromaster Sixtrain, 2002)
• Sixtrain ID number:
• Accessories:

D-Go and his teammates were re-released in Japan in 2002, this time sold in identical individual boxes. D-Go was #x in the set, identifiable only by the number on his instruction sheet visible through a small hole in the box. Like the rest of the Micromaster Collection figures, D-Go's stickers were either replaced with tampographs or dropped entirely.

Trivia

• For a long time, it was thought that D-Go's name was "Diego". However, "Diego" is rendered in katakana as ディエゴ, dī-e-go, featuring an "e" that D-Go (ディーゴ, dī-go) does not have. It was not until a connection was made between D-Go's name and alternate mode — a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D51_steam_locomotive" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:D51_steam_locomotive">D51 steam locomotive</a> — that the pun in his name was discovered: "go" is "five" in Japanese, effectively making his name "D-Five", and ergo a reference to that series of trains.

• This also sets up another interesting parallel.
