Iron Lift
- Iron Lift is an Autobot Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Iron Lift the hand-to-hand combat expert of the Build Team. Well-versed in any number of combat forms, he frequently practice-spars with Atlan of the Train Team, in bouts that draw big audiences among the Autobot Micromasters. He also has incredible jumping power, possibly even out-doing the Sixliner ninja Night when it comes to rooftop-to-rooftop racing.
He also has an evil counterpart running around.
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Iron Lift was one of several Seiberdroids in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' Earth base. During a particularly pitched battle with the Decepticon Sixwing in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking human construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in Sixbuilder mode...only for the impostors to do the same! The green Decepticon Sixbuilder announced that the two teams were actually halves of the original whole, and that he would rejoin with Sixbuilder only after all the other Autobots had been destroyed. Sixbuilder – Warrior of Misfortune!?
Operation Combination
Years later, Iron Lift and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination
Toys
Operation: Combination
- Sixbuilder (Micromaster team, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-01
- The original version of Iron Lift was available only as part of a Sixbuilder gift set in Japan. Aside from the crane-truck mode, Iron Lift can form the left arm of any of the Six-Teams, though his nominal placement is as Sixbuilder's arm. (He cannot form the right arm as only the Sixbuilder left fist is properly compatible with him.) The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
- Iron Lift uses the same mold as the Universe Micromaster Hightower, and the evil half of Iron Lift.
Micromaster Collection
- Iron Lift (Micromaster, 2003)

- In 2003, the entire Sixbuilder team was re-released as part of the Micromaster Collection, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, the team was extensively redecoed; Iron Lift went from white to red. All decals were also replaced with paint applications.
