Raise is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Uh, look, boss, I've been with the company for a while now, and I think I deserve a me...

Raise (レイズ Reizu) doesn't say a lot, but when he does, people listen. This mysterious Micromaster has the power of precognition, and he's proven to be eerily accurate. His abilities have saved the collective bacon of the Train Team many a time.

His favorite thing to do is be up bright and early in the morning, sit and watch the sun rise over the ocean horizon.

Fiction

Micromaster

Raise 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. When the Micromasters began their own excavation there, Raise's precognition pointed them in the right direction to unearth two pieces of Cybertronian metal... and put a timely end to Gran Arm's complaining. The Train Team was forced to re-form Sixtrain when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the prizes. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!

Operation Combination

Years later, Raise and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon High Regent Scrash. Operation Combination

None of the combiner team individuals ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot modes.

Train Wars

When The Fallen attempted to consume the power of Vector Sigma for himself, Metroplex gathered the Autobot trains in defense of Cybertron. Raise and the Train Team joined forces with the Trainbots and Liner Team in a massive coupling that restrained the Fallen long enough for Shouki and Goshooter to finish him off. Train Wars 2

  • Sixtrain (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-05
Available only in a Sixtrain gift set, Operation Combination Raise is an extensive retooling of the Sixliner component Leaf, keeping the same inner robot parts and arms, but replacing the entire rest of his train mode, making him an "Asagiri" Special Express bullet train engine. He has a "peg" connector tab in the back of his train mode allows him to pull any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "socket" connector. He can form either arm to any Six-team Micromaster combined robot, but his nominal placement is as the left arm of Sixtrain. His connector peg is approximately 5 mm wide, making him compatible with Powerlinx ports. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.


Micromaster

  • Raise (Micromaster, 2003)
    • Micromaster ID number: 3
    • Accessories: Sixtrain left foot
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 Rapid Run.


  • Raise Red Mode (Micromaster, 2003)
    • Micromaster ID number: 3
    • Accessories: Sixtrain left foot
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

  • Raise, 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.
  • Another possible Romanization of Raise's name is "Rays". While this gels with his "watching the sunrise" bit, the bio is something of a retcon, making it hard to tell just what the original intent of his name was.
