Windy (G1)
| This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot. For the Animated Autobot, see Windy (Animated). |
- Windy is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Windy (ウィンディー Windī) is a splendiferous female warrior. Her mental age is roughly equal to that of a human teenage girl, and she's more obsessed with love and gossip than battle. Still, she possesses a beautiful singing voice, making her the "idol" of the Autobots; it's even said that she has hidden fans among the Decepticons!
Fiction
Micromaster
Windy and the other Sixtrain Train Team members used their combined "Red Mode" to drive the Decepticon Sixwing from an excavation site at the base of a dormant volcano. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes the Autobots had dug up. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!! Later, the team bore witness to the Multiforce's ability to pair up and form larger robots, an ability Windy couldn't help but gasp out loud in awe over.

Toys
Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
- Sixtrain (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-05
- Available only in a Sixtrain gift set, Operation Combination Windy transforms into a Yamagata "Tsubasa" bullet train. She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. Windy can form either leg of any of either Sixtrain or Sixliner, but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
Micromaster
- Windy (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixtrain ID number: 5
- Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
- In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifth The Transformers: Micromaster assortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensively redecoed, plus the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications.
- This toy was sold without changes in the Hasbro 2003 Universe line as Midnight Express.
- Windy Red Mode (Micromaster, 2003)
- Sixtrain ID number: 5
- Accessories: Left & right Sixtrain fists
- In every case of twelve Train Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-red-plastic "Red Mode" variations. All six Micromasters (and their combiner kibble) were available in this manner.
Notes
- Windy, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until her Micromaster release a decade after her original Operation Combination release.
- She is unique among the Sixtrain team in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is a redeco or retooling of a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart" Joe.
- While her head ornamentation does resemble a bow and a mohawk haircut, Windy is probably not intended to resemble Wendy O. Koopa, or Wendy O. Williams.
