Sixknight

Sixknight is an Autobot from the Super-God Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Go ahead. Make my day.

Sixknight is dedicated to being the best. A member of the enigmatic ninja Six Clan, he has voyaged across the universe increasing his strength and skill, mastering the elusive art of six-changing and learning to manipulate Tenchōkon Power. The problem with this boastful ninja, though, is that he really needs people to know how good he is, and if there's someone out there who claims to be more powerful, then there's no other course of action for Sixknight than to take them on and show them who's boss. Sixknight really only understands force, believing that one's own power is all that matters—the subtleties of fighting for something or someone are lost upon him. As a Six Changer, however, he is a mercurial, impressionable sort, and the nobility of the Autobots intrigues this wandering warrior...

Strika a pose!

Sixknight traveled to Earth with the intention of joining up with the Decepticons, dispatching a squadron of fighter jets and a battleship upon arrival on the planet. Easily evading the Decepticon base's radar, Sixknight appeared before the Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors, who did not take kindly to the Six Changer's arrogance. While the Pretenders attacked Sixknight and were promptly flattened, Cancer summoned Giga and Mega, who agreed to hear Sixknight out. Explaining that he had come to lend his power to the Decepticons so that they could easily crush Earth's "human scum", Sixknight was furious when they laughed in his face, telling him that power alone was not enough. Sixknight retorted that his was no ordinary power, that he could control Tenchōkon Power, but Mega and Giga revealed to him the existence of the Godmasters, who were capable of controlling all three forms of Chōkon Power. Sixknight was dismissed from the base, but Blood and Gilmer decided to exploit the Six Changer's rage by suggesting that he challenge Ginrai in order to prove his skill.

PWNED!

Sixknight promptly attacked a Japanese city in order to draw Ginrai out, and met with resistance from Japan's Self-Defence Force, along with the Autobot Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors. At first, he mistook Goshooter for Ginrai, but when the genuine article arrived, the pair faced off in a one-on-one duel. When Sixknight's rapid-transforming "Six-Change Attack" met with failure and the ninja was pinned by Ginrai, Blood and Gilmer stepped in and seized Minerva, threatening her life if Ginrai did not back down. Although amazed that Ginrai cared anything for humans, Sixknight was enraged by the Pretenders' interference, and forced them at gunpoint to let Minerva free so that he could continue his battle with Ginrai honorably. For the final stage of their battle, Sixknight initiated his "Six-Change Attack of Death", but as he hurled himself at Ginrai, the Godmaster blasted him clean out of the air with one shot of Chōkon Power. Scarred and smoking, Sixknight's final humiliation came when Ginrai disconnected from his Transtector, revealing that he was, in fact, one of the "human scum" that Sixknight so despised.

This is for wasting teacher's valuable time!

Unable to comprehend how a Transformer could be defeated by a human being, Sixknight soon approached the Autobot Headmaster Juniors, laid down his weapons, and requested an audience with Ginrai. An impassioned Ginrai explained to Sixknight that the true strength of human beings is not physical, but comes from their indomitable spirit and drive to protect others, even if victory is impossible, only to have Sixknight reject the answer, unable to comprehend how he could lose to such an intangible concept. As Ginrai continued to explain, news of an attack by the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors in a nearby city came in, and Sixknight volunteered to prove that he was not a Decepticon by taking the three punks on. The Six Changer immediately headed for the city, where he violently engaged the Juniors, but was caught off-guard when the punks pretended to surrender. Seized and pummelled by the evil trio, Sixknight regained the advantage when Minerva distracted Cancer, and he soon had the Decepticons at his mercy, poised to delivery a killing blast. At that moment, however, Sixknight hesitated, giving Minerva and Browning enough time to create a smokescreen to cover the Juniors' escape. As they fled, Sixknight realized that his actions had been enough, and that killing was not necessary. Now convinced that Sixknight was trustworthy, Ginrai invited him back to the Autobot base, but Sixknight informed the human that he should not trust him so easily. Telling Ginrai that he now knew there was a purpose in their meeting, Sixknight departed, noting that it was likely their paths would cross again. The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!

That's gonna leave a mark... or not.

It would be some time before Sixknight would meet with the Autobots again, but he did eventually reappear in the midst of a battle between the Autobot Headmaster Juniors and the Decepticon Godmaster brothers, Hydra and Buster. The Juniors were desperately trying to get the drone Godbomber to safety when Sixknight dropped out of the sky and tackled the two Decepticons. Buster managed to break away from the battle and went after the Juniors, but the three kids were able to transform Godbomber to robot mode and defeat Buster, leaving Sixknight to handle Hydra while they headed off to help Ginrai in battle with Overlord. In the aftermath of the battle, Ginrai thanked Sixknight for his help, and the Six Changer departed once more, already looking forward to his next meeting with the Autobots. Destroy Godbomber!!

Alas, Sixknight's next encounter with the Autobots would be his last. Atop the Matterhorn, Ginrai was under attack by BlackZarak when Sixknight arrived to help his friend, blasting the giant Decepticons with a volley of missiles as he burrowed up from beneath the ground in his drill-tank mode. Sixknight challenged BlackZarak to battle, telling Ginrai to assemble the Autobots for the final battle while he held BlackZarak off. Quietly, Sixknight admitted that he was happy to have fought Ginrai, and pressed his attack on BlackZarak, only to be bombarded by the villain's Devil Power. Convulsing violently, Sixknight's body exploded, leaving nothing but a smoking crater. Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z
