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 young female warrior. The baby of the Train Team, her mental age is roughly equal to that of a human teenage girl, making her 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.

Train Wars
The Trainbots were heavily injured fighting the Nine Great Demon Generals in the form of Raiden, leaving them requiring extensive repairs. Blaming himself for their condition, Shouki left the team so that his leadership would never endanger them again. Sixtrain stood watch over Shouki's elective reformatting into a spy shuttlecraft at Metrobase. Shouki & Daniel Chapter
Later, just as Cybertron seemed lost to the interdimensional incursion of the Fallen, Shouki and the ragtag band of Transformers left to defend Cybertron were greeted by Desire along with D-Go and Shouki's old comrade Suiken. The other Trainbots had arrived astride Metroplex, bringing with them the Train Team and the Liner Team! Chiding his brother for being as solemn as ever, Yukikaze reminded Shouki the Trainbots would always have his back. With that, on Windy's count all three teams of train 'bots combined into the Trainbot Omni-Car Joint to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the cosmic evil by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode.

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 400 Series Shinkansen. 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.
