Mixing is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Build Team's Mixing (ミキシング Mikishingu) is... a little disturbed. He shares Road Police's hobby of gun-collecting, only moreso. He knows all manner of guns inside and out, both Cybertronian and of alien construction, and spends his free time modifying human firearms so he can use them. However...at his core, he's a pacifist, with an odd ideal theory that if he could simply obtain all guns ever, there would be no war. (He is apparently blissfully unaware of Humanity's wonderful history of atrocities committed before gunpowder was invented.)

He also has an evil counterpart running around.

Fiction

Micromaster

Mixing 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. Sireen noted from the reports of the attacks that the clone of Mixing called himself Mixmaster. 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 the Ill-Fated Warrior!?

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, Mixing 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 team, 1992)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-01
The original version of Mixing was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the cement mixer truck mode, Mixing can form a leg to any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's left leg. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Mixing compatible with Powerlinx ports.
This mold was also used to make Universe Micromaster Quickmix, and the evil half of Mixing.


Micromaster

  • Mixing (Micromaster, 2003)
    • Sixbuilder ID number: 6
    • Accessories: Sixbuilder left foot
In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as part 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; Mixing went from light green to a deep aqua-green. All decals were also replaced with paint applications.

Notes

  • Mixing, 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.
