- Sixbuilder is an Autobot Micromaster-composed super robot from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The combined form of the Build Team, Sixbuilder is the strongest of all the Micromaster combined robots. When it comes to pure physicality, none can beat him, though Sixwing and Sixtrain's super modes can give him a run for his money. Despite his colossal strength, Sixbuilder far prefers to live up to the second part of his name, and use his talents for construction rather than combat.
Sixbuilder's component robots are...
- Crush-Bull the bulldozer and team leader.
- Digger the excavator.
- Gran Arm the front-end loader.
- Iron Lift the crane.
- Mixing the cement mixer.
- Treader the dump truck.
Fiction
Micromaster Collection story
During a particularly pitched battle with between the Autobot Micromasters and the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode outside the Autobots' base, the storage capsules containing the Build Team in Seiberdroid form 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 story pages
Many years later, Sixbuilder and all other Micromaster Combiners scattered across the globe were summoned to Earth's orbit to join Guard City in a last line of defense against Battle Gaia and the Jet Corps, who had fought their way past the Road Corps. Sixbuilder went up against Dark Jet. The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!
Sixbuilder, Sixtrain, Sixwing, Sixturbo and Guard City eventually combined to form the "Autobot Scrum Combination". Combining the power of all twenty-nine individual Autobots, their unleashed energy destroyed Battle Gaia on the spot. As the Jet Corps fled with the remains of Battle Gaia, Sixbuilder joined the other Autobots in gleefully waving goodbye. Conclusion
