Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In universal stream Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta (a highly Primax-influenced universe), Midnight Express was born from Dr. Brian Jones's attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to Mini-Con anatomy. Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator in the Combiner Wars during the Unicron Singularity crisis. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Universe (2003)
- Midnight Express (Micromaster Railbot, 2005)
- Accessories: Rail Racer right foot
- Midnight Express is physically identical to the 2003 Takara reissue version of Windy, transforming into a Yamagata "Tsubasa" bullet train. He has a flip-down "socket" arm on his train-mode back-end that lets him link up with any of his teammates with a "peg" link-arm. He can form a leg to any Micromaster train-form "Sixteam" combined robot, but his nominal placement is as the right leg of Rail Racer.
- Like all of the Railbots, he was originally a Kay-Bee stores exclusive, but later made his way to other outlets, most notably drugstores like CVS.
Cybertron
- Midnight Express (Micromaster Railbot, 2005)
- Accessories: Rail Racer right foot
- Midnight Express and the rest of the Universe Micromasters were released in the "main" line in Europe under the Cybertron line. Presumably this is because the Universe line was never released in the European market. Why the Micromasters were the only part of the Universe line to get a European release in unknown, but it probably had something to do with their sub-Basic class size and previously being Japanese-exclusive molds.
