Operation Combination Mixing

Mixing is the concrete mixer in the SixBuilder team - their Mixmaster. Is Mixmaster the only Transformer concrete mixer whose barrel turns ? Mixing's doesn't sadly, making him one of two toys in this set with no moving parts.

TF: Stand on the rear of the vehicle with the underside facing you. Pull up & back on the cab to extend the legs. Fold the arms out.

Mixing's robot mode has the standard Micromaster articulation of turning shoulders and bending but linked together hips & knees. YES ! Last one of these don't need to describe the Micromaster Articulation again for a long time !

Mixing's vehicle mode becomes one of the legs - traditionally the left but he can be swapped with Treader to form the right - with the front of the vehicle clipping into the knee and the back onto a peg on the foot.

Mixing was sold in Japan in 1992 in the Operation Combination TF-01 SixBuilder set.


Micromaster Collection Mixing

Mixing was re-released in 2003 as part of the Six Builder Micromaster Collection where he was toy Number Six (I am not a number, I am a free Micromaster !)

His green plastic is swapped for a more aqua blue green then his legs, head and chest become red with the latter taking a layer of grey paint.

Mixing came with SixBuilder's left foot.


Micromaster Collection Destron Mixing

Mixing's Destron chase repaint *finally* puts him in colours resembling the G1 Constructicons. The green used here for most parts is a brighter shade than that used on the original Constructicons, while purple is used for the windows & Decepticon symbol. Chase Destron SixBuilder pieces were packed between 1 and 2 piece per box of 12 SixBuilder pieces - 2 complete sets in each. However due to the Constructicon homage this chase set was in demand more than the others for a long time.

Destron Mixing comes with the chase version of the combined robot's left foot that his Cybertron counterpart has.


Universe Quickmix

QUICKMIX ????? Oh come on. Quickmix is an Autobot concrete mixer. What stopped them getting the MixMaster name ?

The pale green vehicle body has purple paint on the windows with the drum painted silver. Transforming to robot mode reveals more purple & black paint on the robot parts.

"Quickmix" comes with Devastator's left foot.
