Super Robot Lifeform Transformerstoyline, Windy transforms into a400 Series Shinkansen.She has a "socket" connector tab in the back of her train mode allows her to connect to any fellow Micromaster train or footplate-weapon with a "peg" connector. She is unique among theSixtrainteam in that she is the only one who is a completely new mold. Everyone else is aredecoorretoolingof a mold from Sixliner, while Windy shares no parts whatsoever with her "counterpart"Joe.
- Windy can also form either leg of the two train-themed Micromaster Six-Team super robots (Sixtrain or Sixliner), but her normal placement is as the right leg of Sixtrain.
- She was only available in the complete Sixtrain box set, along with her fellow MicromastersDesire,Convertor,Raise,andSan D-Go.
- 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.

- ID number:5
- Accessories:Left & right Sixtrain fists
- In 2003, the entire Sixtrain team was re-released as the fifthThe Transformers: Micromasterassortment, in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, each character was extensivelyredecoed,plus the decals from the original version were replaced withpaint applications.Overall, Windy hasn't changed too much, mostly being a slightly different shade of gunmetal in train mode, but now with her windows and the surrounding frame painted, plus a silver nosecone. In robot mode, she now has a more involved robot mode paint layout, now in both orange and silver rather than green.
