Well, there's this guy.

Which sort of makes sense except he's a Decepticon.

Actually, if Cliffjumper's bio is anything to go by, it makes somewhat sense. In his bio, it says:
Fiercely loyal to the Autobot cause, Cliffjumper sometimes allows his suspicious nature to override good judgement when it comes to rooting out traitors. Before a vital scouting mission, Cliffjumper is certain he's already discovered a Decepticon spy: his partner, Suppressor. A new recruit whose loyalties are murky, Suppressor must earn his comrade's trust or risk capture behind enemy lines.
The last sentence definitely alludes to Suppressor being the Decepticon Mini-Con of the same name, but everything is speculation at this point.

I don't think either of those would fit into the Legends packaging.Autobot tap out wrote:Meh I would rather have arms micron cliffjumper and for nemisis prime a simple redeco of super base Optimus (with decepticon insignias on it) would do sold in US retail ... oh how I miss seeing the Armada ( energon and Cybertron) toyline(s) on Walmart shelfs...

You wouldn't happen to have Nemesis Prime's bio too by any chance, would you?

While he is indeed based Universe 2008 Suppressor, they're not the same guy (until we get a retcon from FunPub that is). Universe 2008 had so-called series, denoting what universe the characters belong to, and Universe 2008 Supressor belongs to the Armada series, not G1. Same goes for all Universe 2008 Mini-Con repaints.
Of course, that won't stop FunPub from repurposing them like they did with Brimstone.

*shrug* It was late at night when I wrote that, so I completely forgot about Universe (2008) Suppressor's origins.

And does the rotor actually pop off like that? That may push it from "neat repaint" to "gotta have it!"
I'm guessing these guys are NOT gang-molded, given Nemesis isn't half yellow?

The rotor does indeed separate. On Bumblebee, it was designed to plug into the side of his arm, forming a rotor shield a la movie-verse Blackout.
I'm certain they are, since Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper are redecoes of the first wave of Legends, with their partners basically switched around.

Huh, looks like they either took a cue from Armada Nemesis Prime's origins or Masterpiece Black Convoy's origins.Mindmaster wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:You wouldn't happen to have Nemesis Prime's bio too by any chance, would you?

And pairing him with Spinister may call back to a certain scene in the Armada comics, World Collide pt. 4, in which a G1 Spinister welcomed his death by Unicron with open arms.

Almost definitely not gang-molded given the release of four of the Targetmasters as campaign "microns" recently. I think they learned their lesson on why gang molding isn't smart with the first 10 minicon teams.

Mis-transformed or not that is by far the ugliest Transformer I've ever seen. The jet mode looks good and I'm floored the sword has a sheath but, it's just ugly.

To all the people who said ugly Robotmode, I can see that the shoulders of Windblade are not in the right transforming position. I think when it's done the right way it will be look much better. Have nice day.

I have to disagree with you:
Shuttershock wrote:Maybe it's just the excellent art and personality of Sarah Stone's drawing style, but it seems like no medium other than the Windblade comic matches up her design with her personality. Every other one, the toy included, gives her a generic, aloof, detached look that doesn't help her character stand out as an earnest if naive civil servant.
This.
I think the body could be a little more petite looking and her features could be less...cold? Sorry, IMHO, Windblade is freaking adorable looking.

Anyway, I never noticed the scabbard before. That is a NICE touch for a figure.

I'm telling you guys, Hasbro would be complete and total morons if they don't squeeze a Slipstream out of Windblade. It wouldn't be perfect fit, but it would be a hugely missed opportunity if it doesn't happen.

The hate has died down significantly ever since her comic series began, which has been critically-acclaimed among the fandom. People like Windblade.SW's SilverHammer wrote:On a side note, I'm surprised with all the negative fan outcry, no one's added windblade (and fembots in general at this point) to the Ruined FOREVER page of TFWiki

I foresee Slipstream for sure. Perhaps a TFSS or Convention Exclusive Airrazor?

Airazor would be great, especially since the turbines on the wings could harken back to her Dawn of Future's Past body:

Or Fun Pub could use the mold for Lyzack. She played a role in something they did that i vaguely remember from the transformers wiki, but more importantly she turns into a jet and wields a sword.

Aside from the color scheme, it's a fairly accurate representation of the IDW iteration of the character in robot mode, as the wings are on ball joints and can be folded down and back out of the way, and the whole figure can be posed in a "hunched over" position.paul053 wrote:Is there any good reason to pick up Armada Starscream remolded Jhiaxus besides it is being named Jhiaxus?

You not buying that one figure could be the loss that causes Hasbro to not make their projected quarterly goals and thus Arcee, Chromia, Windblade, and Cosmos (any future versions) will be canceled never to be made; or not.

Cosmos is already out. Windblade is in the same wave. Okay, I got what you mean. I buy one Jhiaxus and that will save Hasbro's business.
