- Night is an Autobot Micromaster from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Everything Night (ナイト, na-i-to) knows about being a ninja, he learned from... himself. He's definitely got skills, using his ability to bend light and create darkness to maximum advantage in a fight. His Wingard booster also gives his train mode the ability to traverse land, sea and air for special missions. But his "self-styled" ninjutsu is unpolished, and his gabby, boisterous manner doesn't really help.
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, Night 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 (Micromaster Sixteam, 1991)
- Japanese ID number: C-370
- Originally released in a giftset with his fellow Micromaster trains, Night transforms into an EF66 "Blue Train" engine. His rear pegged hitch allows him to connect end-to-end with any fellow train or combiner kibble weapon with a socket-hitch. He can form either leg to either train-type Six-team combiner (if you do not use his hitch to better secure the footplate as the instruction booklet shows), but his nominal placement is as the left of Sixliner.
Micromaster Collection
- Night (Micromaster, 2002)
- Accessories: Sixliner torso
- Night 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, Night'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
- Night, 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.
- Though Night's Micromaster Collection bio assigns him the Wingard booster, the original Return of Convoy Sixliner instruction booklet shows it being used by Leaf (though really only as an example of how it links to the trains).
