Discharge (G1)
- Discharge is an Autobot Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Discharge (ディスチャージ Disuchāji) is an expert in firefighting and rescue missions, putting everything she has into them. *Snicker* Her heavy, heat-resistant armor hides her true form, but better to be bulky than burned to a crisp. She really doesn't like going into battle, but get her mad, and she can really do some damage.
At some point, San D-Go had plans to marry (!) Discharge as a result of his interest in human culture, but this wedding ultimately never happened.
She also has one of the most perverted names ever. She likes to hang out with Erector and Heave for obvious reasons. :P
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Like most of the Turbo Team, Discharge was infected with the Reverse Evolution virus, presumably though contact with Road Police, Circuit, Neo-Wheel, or Glide. The virus turned her into a Decepticon, and she went about causing random destruction with her teammates. Sireen tricked Discharge and the others into combining with him to form Sixturbo, then restored them all to normal with an antivirus program. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!
Later, She joined the rest of her team in fighting off Sixwing as Sixturbo when the Wing Team made an attempt to steal more Cyberdroid capsules. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
Later still, when the Decepticons were digging at the foot of a dormant volcano for unknown reasons, Discharge hypothesized that they were trying to make the volcano erupt. Apparently, she was incorrect. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
Operation Combination
Years later, Discharge 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
- Sixturbo (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-03
- The original version of Discharge was available only as part of a Sixturbo gift set in Japan. Aside from the fire truck mode (model undetermined), Discharge can form any part of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing), but is frankly awkward in any position other than as a leg; her normal placement is as Sixturbo's left leg. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
- The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Discharge compatible with Powerlinx ports.
Micromaster Collection
- Discharge (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixturbo number: 5
- Accessories: Sixturbo left foot
- In 2002, the entire Sixturbo team was re-released as part of the Micromaster Collection series, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, many of the decals from the original version were replaced with Paint operations, though Discharge lost a few of the more complicated pieces of deco, such as the silver stripe towards the top of the vehicle mode.
- Reverse Evolution Discharge (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixturbo number: 5
- Accessories: Sixturbo left foot
- In every case of twelve Turbo Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-black-plastic "Reverse Evolution" Decepticon-allied variations; the Sixturbo parts were similarly colored, though in this case that doesn't change a whole hell of a lot. All six Micromasters were available in this manner.
Notes
- Discharge, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until her Micromaster Collection release a decade after her original Operation Combination release.
