This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Sireen (サイレーン Sairēn) serves the interesting dual functions of medic and strategist. He is outfitted with an overhead storage rack for miscellaneous medical equipment (which looks suspiciously like a pair of guns). Sireen is reportedly a longtime friend of the Autobot Micromasters' other strategist, D-Go of the Liner Team.
Fiction
Micromaster
Sireen was the only member of the Turbo Team who was not originally infected by the Decepticons' Reverse Evolution virus. He and Joe developed an antivirus program to return the other Turbo Team members to normal. In order to get the program into their systems simultaneously, Sireen surrendered to the others and convinced them to combine into Sixturbo, activating the program just as they combined. Sireen was briefly turned into a Decepticon himself just before the antivirus program took effect, turning all six components back into Autobots. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!
After this incident, Sireen modified this antivirus program to create the Vaccine Program Gun, which would theoretically do the opposite of the Reverse Evolution virus, turning Decepticons into Autobots. However, not only did the weapon fail to work as intended, but it had the unexpected effect of turning Sixwing into Berserker Sixwing. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
When evil versions of the Build Team made their appearance, Sireen was the one to break the news to Mixing that his "clone" went by the name "Mixmaster" according to the humans who had witnessed their attack. Sixbuilder the Ill-Fated Warrior!?
Operation Combination
Years later, Sireen 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 Sireen was available only as part of a Sixturbo gift set in Japan. Aside from the ambulance mode, Sireen can form either leg of any of the similar-build Six-Teams (Sixturbo, Sixbuilder or Sixwing). He can also theoretically form an arm, but he's incredibly awkward as such. 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 Sireen compatible with Powerlinx plugs.
Micromaster
- Sireen (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixturbo number: 6
- Accessories: Sixturbo right foot
- In 2002, the entire Sixturbo team was re-released as part of The Transformers: Micromaster, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, all of the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications, and given a few extra bits of deco. Notably, Sireen lost the more complicated "AMBULANCE" markings on his sides.
- Reverse Evolution Sireen (Micromaster, 2002)
- Sixturbo number: 6
- Accessories: Sixturbo right foot
- In every case of twelve Turbo Team Micromasters, two of them were solid-black-plastic "Reverse Evolution" Decepticon-allied variations; the Sixturbo pieces were also black, though in this case that's no change at all. All six Micromasters were available in this manner.
Notes
- Sireen, 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.
- His bio calls the things over his head "medical tools", but... look, he's got four blaster-looking things over his head. His entire right pectoral looks like a dual missile launcher and his head is framed by two things that also look like missile launchers. Each arm has what completely looks like a blaster tucked behind the vehicle-mode side panels. This guy was clearly designed to be packing major heat.
