An expert in stealth missions, the sneaky Missile Run is the tactical officer of the Wing Team. Highly intelligent, he is actually better at relaying his leader Chain Gun's orders than Chain Gun is at giving them. He has a rivalry with the logic-minded D-Go of the Sixliner Team... a deadly rivalry during Missile Run's time as a Decepticon.

Fiction

Micromaster Collection

Chain Gun was one of several Autobot Seiberdroids who were mutated into Decepticon Micromasters by a mysterious dimensional shockwave. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, he and his fellow Decepticons began causing trouble. A New Transformer Legend Begins!! Shortly after the arrival of Sixturbo on the Autobots' side, Missile Run was sent to infiltrate the Autobots' base and pilfer several Seiberdroid capsules in order to bolster the Decepticons' ranks. He got into the capsule storage area, but accidentally tripped the alarms, bringing Road Police into the room. He was saved by a volley of shots by Raker, who blew out the wall from outside, allowing Missile Run to join the rest of the team and combine into Sixwing. During the course of the battle, Sixwing took a blast from the Autobots' experimental Vaccine Program Gun, intended to return their original Autobot programming, but instead giving the Wing Team the power of the Berserker. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!

Later, Sixwing was routed by the newly-arrived Sixtrain, who used his "Red Mode" power to blast him into his components. The team fled, leaving the Autobots free to examine the Decepticons' excavation site near a dormant volcano. Once the Autobots dug up a pair of metal plates of Cybertronian origin, Chain Gun called for another attack to snatch the prizes, the team once again forming Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

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 is clear that the Wing Team eventually had their original Autobot programming restored somehow.

Operation Combination

Years later, Missile Run (now an Autobot once again) 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

• Sixwing (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
  • Japanese ID number: TF-02

The original version of Missile Run was available only as part of a Sixwing gift set in Japan, transforming into a Rockwell B-1B Lancer bomber plane. He can also form the back or chest to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Six-Team, though his nominal placement is as the chest of Sixwing. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.

This mold is also used by the Universe Aerialbot Air Raid.
