- Digger is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Digger (ディッガー Diggā) is the strongest of the Build Team, and he knows it. And he's proud of it. Thankfully, he's not a jerk about it at all; boisterous and likable, he even sets up recreational events for the other Autobot Micromasters.
He also has an evil counterpart running around.
Fiction
Micromaster
Digger was one of several Cyberdroids in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' Earth base. During a particularly pitched battle with the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team 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!?
Later, after Sixtrain beat back the Decepticons at an excavation site by a dormant volcano, Digger eagerly suggested the Autobots began their own investigation as to just what the Decepticons were digging up. When Raise discovered two pieces of metal, one of which bore a strange purple insignia, both Cybertronian in origin, the Autobots realizing something incredibly important was buried there, something that needed to be kept out of Decepticon hands. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
The Micromaster 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
Years later, Digger 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
- Sixbuilder (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-01
- The original version of Digger was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the excavator truck mode, Digger can form the right arm of any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's right arm. (He cannot form a left arm because he is designed to only work with the Sixbuilder right fist.) The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
- The toy's connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Digger compatible with Powerlinx ports.
- This mold was also used to make Universe Micromaster Scavenger, and the evil half of Digger.
Micromaster
- Digger (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixbuilder ID number: 2
- Accessories: Sixbuilder right fist, gun
- In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as the fourth wave of The Transformers: Micromaster, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Digger went from orange-yellow and red to almost completely bright yellow. All decals were also replaced with paint applications.
Notes
- Digger, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster release a decade after his original Operation Combination release.
