Raise
- Raise is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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
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.

- 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 371 series train. 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.

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.
