Sixwing first appeared when the Wing Team, six former [[Autobot]] [[Seiberdroid]]s who had been mysteriously "evolved" into [[Decepticon]]s due to a dimensional shockwave, made an attempt to steal several hibernating Sieberdroids from the Atuobots' base on [[Earth]]. Their theft interrupted, the team combined into Sixwing and battled against [[Sixturbo]], who was at a distinct disadvantage against the flying foe. [[Sixliner]] arrived quickly with a new weapon, the [[Vaccine Program Gun]], designed to restore the Decepticon Micromasters' original Autobot programming. Though Sixliner scored a direct hit, the weapon did not work as intended, instead giving the Decepticon a powerful shining-white "evil Autobot" Berserker mode. {{storylink|Micromaster Collection#Part 3: Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!|Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!}} | |||

Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Sixwing first appeared when the Wing Team, six former Autobot Seiberdroids who had been mysteriously "evolved" into Decepticons due to a dimensional shockwave, made an attempt to steal several hibernating Sieberdroids from the Atuobots' base on Earth. Their theft interrupted, the team combined into Sixwing and battled against Sixturbo, who was at a distinct disadvantage against the flying foe. Sixliner arrived quickly with a new weapon, the Vaccine Program Gun, designed to restore the Decepticon Micromasters' original Autobot programming. Though Sixliner scored a direct hit, the weapon did not work as intended, instead giving the Decepticon a powerful shining-white "evil Autobot" Berserker mode. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
With this new power, Sixwing and the other Decepticons continued to harass the Autobots, and even succeeded in stealing several Seiberdroid capsules, increasing their ranks. Sixbuilder – Warrior of Misfortune!? However, the appearance of Sixtrain, who could assume the ultra-powerful "Red Mode" that was a match even for Sixwing's Berserker Mode, once again turned the tide. This power forced Sixwing and his allies to abandon an excavation site near a dormant volcano, but the Wing Team simply waited for the Autobots to begin their own dig, swooping in and forming Sixwing once again in order to claim the spoils. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
Sixwing took part in a raid on the Autobots' newly-constructed Metrobase at the foot of the volcano, but picked a bad time... as the Multiforce had just arrived via a dimensional tear. Their combined robot mode Landcross proved more powerful than even Sixwing's Berserker mode, forcing him to retreat. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!
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, the now-Autobot Sixwing banded together with Sixtrain and Guard City in a battle against the Decepticon Battle Gaia amidst a human-sized city. He and Sixtrain were quickly bested, leaving only Guard City to fend off the villain. Big Pinch, Autobots!
Later, Sixwing 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. Sixwing went up against Flare Jet. The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!
Sixwing, Sixtrain, Sixbuilder, 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, Sixwing joined the other Autobots in gleefully waving goodbye. Conclusion

He's made up of Six Micromasters and a large amount of kibble which can be recombined to create the "Sky Sweeper" jet in which one Micromaster can ride.
- His limbs have limited interchangeability with each other and with other Sixteams. That is, his arms can swap with like arms from any other Six-teams (though there is some post-size difficulty with some later redecos), and his bottom can become the bottom of any Six-team. He can also freely swap his legs, head or chest with any non-train team. (Because the non-train teams all use the same basic torso and thighs these two can be changed around as one pleases.
Micromaster Collection
