- Raise is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Raise (レイズ, re-i-zu) doesn't say a lot, but when he does, people listen. This mysterious Micromaster has the power of precognition, and he's proven to be eerily accurate. His abilities have saved his teammates' collective bacon many a time.
His favorite thing to do is be up bright and early in the morning, sit and watch the sun rise over the ocean horizon.
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Raise 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. When the Micromasters began their own excavation there, Raises' precognition pointed them in the right direction to unearth two pieces of Cybertronian metal... and put a timely end to Gran Arm's complaining. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
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, Operation Combination Raise is an extensive retooling of the Sixliner component Leaf, keeping the same inner robot parts and arms, but replacing the entire rest of his train mode, making him a "Limited Express" bullet train engine. He has a "peg" connector tab in the back of his train mode allows him to pull any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "socket" connector. He can form either arm to any Six-team Micromaster combined robot, but his nominal placement is as the left arm of Sixtrain. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
Micromaster Collection
- Raise (Micromaster, 2003)
- Micromaster Collection ID number: 3
- Accessories: Sixtrain left foot
- 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.
- Raise Red Mode (Micromaster, 2003)
- Micromaster Collection ID number: 3
- Accessories: Sixtrain left foot
- 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.
Notes
- Raise, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had absolutely no individual bio information until his Micromaster Collection release a decade later.
- Another possible Romanization of Raise's name is "Rays". While this gels with his "watching the sunrise" bit, the bio is something of a retcon, making it hard to tell just what the original intent of his name was.
