Gren is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Gren is the "evil half" of the Autobot Micromaster Iron Lift, and part of the Decepticon Sixbuilder team. It is unknown how much personality he shares with his other half, who is known as a fleet-footed hand-to-hand fighter.

Fiction

Micromaster

Gren and the other Decepticon Build Team members were accidentally created during a pitched battle between the Autobot Micromasters and the Decepticon Wing Team when an energy wave from the battle shook six Cyberdroid capsules. The Autobot Build Team emerged, but in reality they were only half of each Cyberdroid; the other halves, each green-hued, escaped unnoticed in the fury of battle. Shortly after, they began tearing up human cities until they were finally confronted by the Autobot Build Team. Both teams combined into their super robot modes, and Decepticon Sixbuilder revealed the truth of his creation to a stunned Autobot Sixbuilder. The Decepticon Build Team swore to destroy all the other Autobots on Earth, claiming that only then could the Sixbuilders truly become whole again... Sixbuilder the Ill-Fated Warrior!?

Later, the Decepticon Build Team assaulted the Autobots' Metrobase, only to be quickly repelled by the newly-arrived Multiforce. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!

Toys

Micromaster

• Iron Lift (Micromaster, 2003)
  • Sixbuilder ID number: 3
  • Accessories: Decepticon Sixbuilder left fist

In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as the fourth wave of The Transformers: Micromaster, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. Two boxes in each case of twelve had a chase-variant light-green "Destron" version of the character rather than the normal-colored version; all six were available in this way. Iron Lift transforms into a hook-crane truck, and can also form the left arm to any Six-Team robot (he is only compatible with the left Sixbuilder fist part), though his nominal placement is as Decepticon Sixbuilder's left arm.

This mold was also used to make the Universe Micromaster Hightower.

Notes

• Gren, like most of the Decepticon Sixbuilder components, is never explicitly named anywhere within Micromaster. However, the story does say that the cement mixer component Mixing's other half calls himself "Mixmaster", and given the light-green coloration of the Decepticon Sixbuilder components, it's a pretty safe bet that the other five are similarly named after the Generation 1 Constructicons that share their general alternate mode. For those playing along at home, "Gren" (グレン Guren) is the Japanese name for Hook, and is a dialectical variant of "crane" (クレーン Kurēn).
