- Leaf is an Autobot Micromaster from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Leaf (リーフ Rīfu) is a gentle, romantic soul who enjoys poetry... which is why many are a little wigged out when they see him in battle. Using his wind-manipulation powers with reckless abandon, hurling enemies around, Leaf is a dangerous being in a fight. Get him and Spark going and few can stand in their way.
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Leaf was one of many Cyberdroids who evolved into Micromasters thanks to a mysterious energy wave. Finding themselves on Earth, they blended into human society and fought against those Micromasters who had evolved into Decepticons. A New Transformer Legend Begins!!
Return of Convoy
Years later, Leaf and the rest of the Liner Team were recruited by Sky Garry into the ranks of the Battlestars. Great Six Combination Warrior Sixliner!
None of the Liner Team ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot Sixtrain.
Toys
Return of Convoy
- Sixliner (1991)
- Japanese ID number: C-370
- Originally released in a giftset with his fellow Micromaster trains, Leaf transforms into a Series 100 bullet train locomotive. He has a pegged hitch in the back of his train mode allows him to link up to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a socket-style hitch connector. He also has a peg-hole on the top of his train mode that in theory lets him use the Sixliner/Sixtrain legs as the roof-mounted Giga-Techvolt cannon... but it only sort of works if you wedge it at an angle so it's pointing sideways due to clearance issues with his roof-detailing. He can also form either arm to any Six-team combined robot, though his nominal placement is as the left arm of Sixliner. The toy's connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Leaf compatible with Powerlinx ports.
Micromaster Collection
- Leaf (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixliner ID number: 4
- Accessories: Left Sixliner footplate
- Leaf and his teammates were re-released in Japan in 2002 as the first assortment of the Micromaster Collection, this time in identical individual boxes, identifiable only by the number on his instruction sheet visible through a small hole in the box. Like the rest of the Micromaster Collection figures, Leaf's stickers were either replaced with tampographs or dropped entirely, though he gained several new pieces of deco in exchange, especially in train mode.
Notes
- For a time, it was thought that Leaf's name might be "Leif". However, that name is typically rendered in katakana as レイフ (Reifu), rather than Leaf's リーフ (Rīfu).
- D-Go, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster Collection release a decade after his original Return of Convoy release.
- The original Return of Convoy Sixliner instruction booklet shows Leaf towing the (then unnamed) Wingard vehicle. However, Micromaster Collection later assigned it to Night.
