Revision as of 05:47, 13 July 2009

Treader is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Treader is the bruiser of the Build Team. He really doesn't talk a lot, but his fists say plenty. He feels he owes Crush-Bull a debt he can never truly repay, so he follows him into the worst situations without hesitation. Though he's the quiet type, he's also compassionate; Spark and Leaf in particular idolize him.

He also has an evil counterpart running around.


Fiction

Micromaster Collection

Mixing was one of several Seiberdroids in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' Earth base. During a particularly pitched battle with the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking human construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in Sixbuilder mode...only for the impostors to do the same! The green Decepticon Sixbuilder announced that the two teams were actually halves of the original whole, and that he would rejoin with Sixbuilder only after all the other Autobots had been destroyed. Sixbuilder – Warrior of Misfortune!?

The Micromaster Collection story was never actually concluded. However, as it has been established that its events take place as part of the normal Japanese Transformers timeline, it can be assumed that Sixbuilder and his evil half were eventually reformed into a whole being.

Operation Combination

Years later, Mixing 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.

Operation: Combination

  • Sixbuilder (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-01
The original version of Treader was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the dump-truck mode, Treader can form a leg to any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's right leg. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
Treader uses the same mold as the Universe Micromaster Long Haul, and the evil half of Treader.


Micromaster Collection

  • Treader (Micromaster, 2003)
    • Sixbuilder ID number: 5
    • Accessories: Sixbuilder right foot
In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as part of the "Micromaster Collection", in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Treader went from black to bright yellow. All decals were also replaced with paint applications.
