Hopefully it will mean a new toy.
Eh... it's Drift all over again.
Hasbro has forced that character into every series possible since it was created. So expect a Windblade character in the next Transformers Movie too.
Why can't these Poochy characters just disappear as they are supposed to do... :p
I think she actually looks rather good in that pic
I agree and the little bit of footage I saw on either Seibertron or TFW looked pretty sweet as well, and it's good to see the 'fan built' character being more than just 6 months of fan service with no follow through.Quote:

Because the first Windblade miniseries was rather good and successful at establishing her in the fan's minds as an interesting character? Or perhaps because she had a well-designed (if somewhat over-ambitious) first toy which was a strong seller and a highlight of the Thrilling 30 line?Quote:

Sweet, new fembot, and a recurring-across-different series one at that.
Hope they release a toy.

I know Griffin is taking the mickeys, but I must agree that I am glad to see her permeating through other series and lines.
She is the anti- Drift in many aspects, she is smart, flawed and not at all omni potent, more a reflection on the ability of their first writer as well.
The city speaker angle was very interesting and unique too.
That's pretty much a stylised version of the Takara Legends version, perfect match on the face paint. I wonder if Takara will re-release her along with Arcee later this year for those that missed out.
Be interesting to see how they characterise her in RiD...

I just hope that she doesn't fall into the "Power Up" cliché; i.e. a new character is extremely powerful in his/her early appearance(s), but then later powered down when s/he no longer needs to be nigh invulnerable.
I really like the new RiD styled Windblade. She captures the same feel of the 1st comic mini-series. I haven't been thrilled with the RiD figures we've gotten so far but if they make one for Windblade I'll definitely take a look.
