Missile Run
From Transformers Wiki
- Missile Run is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
An expert in stealth missions, the sneaky Missile Run (ミサイルラン Misairu Ran) is the tactical officer of the Wing Team. Highly intelligent, he is actually better at relaying his leader Chain Gun's orders than Chain Gun is at giving them. He has a rivalry with the logic-minded D-Go of the Sixliner Team... a deadly rivalry during Missile Run's time as a Decepticon.

Legends comic
Missile Run was among the Cyberdroids who left Cybertron and came to Earth in search for Optimus Prime and the Matrix. A dimensional shockwave mutated them, altering their forms and enabling them to transform. Tailgate/G1 Mini-Con Chapter
Micromaster
Missile Run was one of several Autobot Cyberdroids who were mutated into Decepticon Micromasters by a mysterious dimensional shockwave. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, he and his fellow Decepticons began causing trouble. A New Transformer Legend Begins!! Shortly after the arrival of Sixturbo on the Autobots' side, Missile Run and the SixWing combiners observed the Autobots attempts to fight off the mind changer virus. Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!
Missile Run was sent to infiltrate the Autobots' base and pilfer several Cyberdroid capsules in order to bolster the Decepticons' ranks. He got into the capsule storage area, but accidentally tripped the alarms, bringing Road Police into the room. He was saved by a volley of shots by Raker, who blew out the wall from outside, allowing Missile Run to join the rest of the team and combine into Sixwing. During the course of the battle, Sixwing took a blast from the Autobots' experimental Vaccine Program Gun, intended to return their original Autobot programming, but instead giving the Wing Team the power of the Berserker. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
Later, Sixwing was routed by the newly arrived Sixtrain, who used his "Red Mode" power to blast him into his components. The team fled, leaving the Autobots free to examine the Decepticons' excavation site near a dormant volcano. Once the Autobots dug up a pair of metal plates of Cybertronian origin, Chain Gun called for another attack to snatch the prizes, the team once again forming Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
Operation Combination
Years later, Missile Run (now an Autobot once again) 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
Toys
Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
- Sixwing (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- ID number: TF-02
- Released in the Operation Combination portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Missile Run transforms into a Rockwell B-1B Lancer bomber. He can also form the back or chest to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Sixteam, though his nominal placement is as the chest of Sixwing.
- He was only available as part of a complete Sixwing gift set, packed with his teammates Chain Gun, Falcon, Flanker, Raker, and Supersonic.
- The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find, due to their final-year release well after Transformers had faded from relevance in Japan, and thus command some hefty prices even with the molds' later re-releases.
Micromaster
- Missile Run (Micromaster, 2003)
- ID number: 2
- Accessories: Sixwing torso
- In 2003, the entire Sixwing team was redecoed as part of the third assortment of The Transformers: Micromaster toys, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. Unlike the two prior waves, the entire Team's colors have been extensively changed, with all-new base plastic colors and new paint applications rather than stickers... plus they were sold as Decepticons. Missile Run became solid black in jet mode, with a more 1988-Decepticon-themed gray and aqua deco on his robot-mode parts.
- On top of this, two out of every twelve toys in the shipping/display case were all-white-plastic, nigh-unpainted "Berserker"-mode chase figures with purple Autobot sigils. Even the combiner kibble was cast in white plastic, albeit a little more milky in tone. These toys came in the same boxes with the same instructions as the normal versions.
Notes
- Missile Run, 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.
