Have you seen me?
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Windy (ウィンディー, ui-n-dī) is a splendiferous female warrior. Her mental age is roughly equal to that of a human teenage girl, and she's more obsessed with love and gossip than battle. Still, she possesses a beautiful singing voice, making her the "idol" of the Autobots; it's even said that she has hidden fans among the Decepticons!
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Windy and the other Sixtrain Train Team members used their combined "Red Mode" to drive the Decepticon Sixwing from an excavation site at the base of a dormant volcano. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes the Autobots had dug up. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!! Later, the team bore witness to the Multiforce's ability to pair up and form larger robots, an ability Windy couldn't help but gasp out loud in awe over. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!
Operation Combination
Years later, Raise and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination
None of the combiner team individuals ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot modes.
Toys
Operation Combination
- SixTrain (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-05
- Available only in a Sixtrain gift set, Windy transforms into a Yamagata "Tsubasa" bullet train. She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. Windy can form either leg of any of either Sixtrain or Sixliner, but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
Micromaster Collection
- Windy (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixtrain ID number: 5
- Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
- In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifth Micromaster Collection assortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensively redecoed, plus the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications.
- This toy was sold without changes in the Hasbro 2003 Universe line as Midnight Express.
- Windy Red Mode (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixtrain ID number: 5
- Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
- In every case of twelve Train Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-red-plastic "Red Mode" variations. All six Micromasters (and their combiner kibble) were available in this manner.
Trivia
- Windy, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until her Micromaster Collection release a decade after her original Operation Combination release.
- She is unique among the Sixtrain team in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is a redeco or retooling of a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart" Joe.
- While her head ornamentation does resemble a bow and a mohawk haircut, Windy is probably not intended to resemble Wendy O. Koopa, or Wendy O. Williams.
