_{This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.}

Vain Train is a Renegade who defected from the Guardians. He transforms into a 200 Series Shinkansen. Cy-Kill likes to pair him with Crain Brain because that's just the kind of bot he is.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vain Train was one of a six-bot crew returning to Gobotron after a lengthy scouting expedition, one launched shortly after the Gobot conversion process was implemented. Scorp and Crain Brain, flying in Space Hawk interceptors, observed them and Cy-Kill was able to capture the crew, though one escaped. The Renegades learned about a strategically important planet they had discovered, as well as Vain Train's strained relationship with his elder brother. Cy-Kill used his mind-control abilities to exacerbate his brother's worst tendencies, thus pushing Vain Train into the Renegade camp.

Vain Train and the similarly manipulated Decker Decker battled against their crew when Leader-1 showed up to rescue the scouts. The new Renegades lost, and the crew got away with their ship. Ask Vector Prime

Notes

• Vain Train is heavily implied to be a repurpose of a Machine Robo toy that never made it into the GoBots line, as are the rest of the colonists.
• There is another green 200 Series Shinkansen with an elder brother who is a blue 0 Series Shinkansen in Transformers lore.
