Who is Windblade? In the aftermath of Dark Cybertron, Windblade takes the planet by storm — and Starscream’s not happy about her being there! But where did she come from — and whatdoes her secret mean to the future of the Transformers? A powerful new chapter in the Transformers saga begins here!

Nah, not really. More a case of people skim reading rather than actual reading.

So it's like when you spend some alone time with a video/photo of your avatar's?

What do I know? I haven't read any of the comics outside of some of the ones that came with several of the Generations Deluxes.

You know, while I ABSOLUTELY understand while you're coming from and I share your concerns... I'm like a thousand times more confident in Mairghread Scott's writing talent than I ever was (still am) on McCarthy's. A Windblade comic can't be nearly as bad as AHM's generic bad-asses and macho attitudes.
Once again, sorry for my english.

Thank you for voting 50 times. Don’t do it during any kind of real election, but thanks for doing it here.I don’t want to spoil anything, but I would like to assure you that Windblade is not female by accident, or by force, or against her will, or just for kicks. That’s not how it works for biological women on Earth and that’s not how it’s gonna work on Cybertron. Anybody has a problem with that, you know where I am.

There is a sore lack of ladies in the IDW verse and Windblade herself looks like she could make a really interesting character. Also, just as a heads-up, "biological woman" is considered to be a pretty transphobic term, and so really isn't a good way to refer to people.
Dang it, good point!
Okay, Internet…please, please know that I am doing all in my power to talk about the gender of non-reproductive alien robots in the most respectful terms possible, but it can get really tough. (ex. Is Arcee a transgendered woman even though she was made female against her will?).
The term “genetically female” seems wrong because they don’t reproduce (so don’t pass on genes) so I chose “biologically female” to convey the same sense in a more accurate way (ie most fans would say TFormers are alive, even though that is also debatable in science).
I have since been informed, by people wiser than I, that the technical term for Windblade would be a cisgender woman so I’m going to go with that unless someone knows a better term, or we can agree to invent one. Regardless, know that I am doing all in my power to make this character and her story something all TF fans can enjoy and celebrate together. My goal is always maximum inclusion, so should I stick my digital foot in my mouth again, please let me know so I can correct myself.
Til All Are One,
Mairghread
