Transformers G1 reissue Sixwing

ENTER THE DECEPTICON SIXWING!!

Deep in the night, the shadow of a plane neared the Autobot base unnoticed. Using his stealth abilities to their fullest, Missile Run of the SixWing team was attempting to infiltrate the base. Cutting his engines, Missile Run silently glided in to a landing.

"Transform!"

Shifting to robot mode, he eluded the automatic surveillance network and succeeded in sneaking inside. Confirming there was no one watching the passageway, Missile Run infiltrated even deeper into the base. His goal was to capture the Autobot capsules sleeping in compressed storage. Not all the Cyberdroids who had crashed on Earth had evolved into Micromasters. The Cyberdroids who were in compressed hibernation still remained asleep, not yet given a vehicle into which to evolve. This measure had been taken based on a decision by Diego and the other Autobot warriors, who had no wish to increase the number of teammates who might be evolved into Decepticons.

The instant Missile Run reached for the capsules, a piercing alarm rang out, and he found himself held at gunpoint by Road Police, who was first to charge in. "Hold up!" Road Police cried out, bringing Missile Run to a halt.

"You think we'd pass up a chance to make more friends?" Missile Run snapped sarcastically. Then he snapped his fingers, and the wall behind Road Police blew apart with a roar, the result of a pinpoint attack by the Decepticon soldier Raker. Missile Run made good his escape, and the pursuing Autobot warriors found themselves faceplate to faceplate with the Decepticon Wing Team.

"The operation has failed," Chaingun's furious shout echoed. "Destroy everything! Combine!!" And at his command, they did just that, forming SixWing. As SixWing flew freely through the air and attacked, the Autobots found themselves faced with a difficult fight.

"Well, we'll just combine too," SixTurbo said, entering the fray, but he also found himself hard pressed by a foe who could transform at will while attacking from the sky.

"Help's on the way!" SixLiner said, arriving to back him up. In his hand, he clutched a modified Vaccine Program Gun. (This was a modification of the program that saved the reverse-evolved SixTurbo. Sireen had developed it in the hope that it might reverse-evolve Decepticons into Autobots.) "Bullseye!" SixLiner scored a direct hit on SixWing. As SixWing suffered in pain, his body began to turn white. "Just the opposite of what happened to 'Turbo," SixLiner rejoiced in his success. Reborn in mid-air into a pure white body, SixWing now sported a Autobot emblem gleaming on his chest.

"Welcome back, Autobot warrior SixWing," SixTurbo said, extending his hand.

"Wait!" SixLiner said, holding him back. "Look at his Autobot mark." They heard a sinister chuckle from the white SixWing, who bore a purple Autobot symbol on his chest. "Just as I'd planned. I've gained a new power, the power of an evil Autobot. Behold the birth of Berserker SixWing!"

...and the battle between Autobot and Decepticon continues...




Combat Helicopter/CHAINGUN
The Wing Team Leader. His high-performance hovering ability lets him
transform freely in flight. His preferred tactic is to circle silently
around behind his foe and then attack. "The surest way to defeat an
enemy is from behind," is his motto. Won the position of leadership by
his strength.

Sonic-Speed Bomber/MISSILE RUN
A schemer, he is the team's tactical officer. Has high-performance
stealth abilities. With his strategical instructions to his teammates,
he can provide more precise orders than Chaingun. Harbors a strong
rivalry with Diego of the Liner Team.

Space Shuttle/RAKER
Raker excels in outer space combat and can make atmospheric re-entry
under his own power. He specializes in diving attacks from high
altitudes. A real flirt, he has frequently fallen into crises through
his relations with femmes.

Supersonic Passenger Jet/SUPERSONIC
Loves beautiful objects, hates taking part in operations that get his
frame dirty. Since he is always seeking beauty, even in attacks and
destruction, he frequently conflicts with Chaingun over strategies.
Prefers flying at high altitudes above the clouds so rain won't get him wet.

Jet Fighter/FLANKER
The kind who's out to please everyone, Flanker specializes overall in
attacking the weak from behind the protection of the strong. Always
alternating in siding with either Chaingun or Supersonic, he actually
views them both as beneath him. Secretly aiming to take the leader's
position for himself.

Jet Fighter/FALCON
The hardest worker on the Wing Team. Terse of speech, this soldier
follows orders faithfully. However, he is also the only soldier among
the Decepticons to wonder why he evolved into a Decepticon and not a
Autobot, even as he continues fighting.
