Space Case (G2)

2007-10-20T13:26:49Z

142.167.189.177: Seriously, there are more things DIFFERENT from the S-32/S-37/Su-47 then there are similarities to it.

:''Space Case is a [[Decepticon]] [[Cyberjet]] in the [[Generation 2]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

Different robots have different skills and weaknesses. '''Space Case''''s skills consist mainly of going very, very fast, thanks to his plasma-powered engines. It's a good thing too, because his weaknesses mainly consist of being dumber than a fence post. The truth is he's so dumb he should almost certainly have been killed in combat by now, only raw speed and dumb luck have kept him alive this long.

===Japanese G2 mini-comics===

During a battle, [[Jolt (G1)|Jolt]] chased the low-flying Space Case near a cliffside. Space Case feigned terror as Jolt made snarky comments at the Cyberjet's imminent destruction. Space Case then pulled up at the last second, his great speed rescuing him from certain death. Jolt, surprised, was then shot in the back repeatedly by Space Case, who had planned the attack out all along...

Did Space Case have different tech specs in Japan, or did someone just not read them?

===Comics Bom Bom G2 manga "The Earth is in Danger!"===

''(Note: the G2 manga is NOT in continuity with the Japanese G2 story pages and minicomics.)''

In the year 199X, the Decepticons came to [[Earth]] intent on plundering its [[forestonite]], a newly discovered super energy source. The Decepticon Cyberjets made their presence known at the Japanese Self-Defense Force airshow, where they began wreaking havoc, attacking humans for the shear heck of it. [[Junpei]] attempted to stop Space Case by heroically throwing a pebble at him. This ticked Space Case off, but before he could slaughter the little Japanese kid, [[Electro]] came to the rescue.

Electro was terribly out-numbered, as all three Decepticon Cyberjets made short work of him. After blowing up a Self-Defence Force tank, Space Case prepared to deliver the killing blow to the wounded Electro. Before he could defeat his enemy, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] arrived on the scene and shot Space Case in the head, apparently killing him.

===Generation 2===
* '''Space Case''' (Cyberjet, 1995)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-8'''
: Space Case transforms into a white fighter jet which is a conglomerate of various cutting-edge fighter features, including antihedral (drooped) forward-swept wings, two-dimentional thrust vectoring nozzles from an F-22, and a nearly-flat V-style tailplane similar to the YF-23 prototype. It is painted with a blue grid pattern and red lightning on the upper side of the plane. Unique among the Cyberjets, Space Case's missile launcher is on the ventral side of his vehicle mode, and instead of becoming a substitute right hand for the robot mode, the launcher is attached to his right forearm in a manner similar to the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].

:During Generation 2, Space Case was [[redeco]]ed to make the [[Autobot]] Cyberjet [[Strafe]]. More recently, the mold has been used for ''[[Robot Masters]]'' [[X-Gunner]] and Space Case's ''[[Universe]]'' appearance.

===Universe===
*'''Soundwave & Space Case''' (Ultra, 2004)
: Space Case was released in the ''[[Universe]]'' line, sold in an Ultra-level two-pack with a redeco of ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. This version saw Space Case is a grey and maroon deco with blue and yellow [[tampograph]]s. Since there was no supporting fiction, the possibility exists that this is an entirely new character named Space Case or an alternate universe version of the original.

Sunstreaker (G1)

2007-10-19T20:21:23Z

142.167.189.177: /* Animated continuity */

:''Sunstreaker is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Sunstreakerg1.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Hi. I'm better than you.]]

'''Sunstreaker''' knows to his core of his [[spark]] that he is better than any other Autobot, and he makes sure everyone else knows it, too. His sociopathic tendencies, combined with his incredible vanity and arrogance, usually result in tension between himself and the other Autobots. He is generally unwilling to help those who are having trouble keeping up, and is quite audible when it comes to complaining about the shortcomings of everyone else. The only Autobot he truly gets along with is his twin brother, [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and even that can seem strained at times.

The main reason [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] keeps him around is most likely Sunstreaker's effectiveness in the battlefield. Ruthless and skilled in all forms of combat, there is not much Sunstreaker cannot handle. As a front-line warrior, Sunstreaker is a great asset for the [[Autobot]] army. If a rather scary one.

:''Italian name'': '''Lince'''<br>
:''French-Canadian name'': '''Solo'''<br>
:''Hungarian name:'' '''Napcsillantó/Napvillantó''' (meaning Sun-flasher)
:''Preliminary name:'' '''Spinout'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''
[[Image:Sunstreakerg1uk.jpg|thumb|left|Give me my color, dammit.]]

''Prior to the outbreak of Cybertron's planet-wide civil war, Sunstreaker was a gladiator in the [[State Games]].

Sunstreaker was among the crew of the [[Ark]] that crashed 4 million years ago and woke up in 1984.

''In the first few days on Earth, Sunstreaker diverted an attack by [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] towards a human civilization so as to keep himself from harm. {{storylink|Perchance to Dream}}

When [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] took control over the Decepticons and possession of the Ark, he destroyed Sunstreaker's body as a demonstration and warning to the deposed [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|The New Order}} Because of this, Sunstreaker's body was in disrepair for a very long time, and at one point, when [[G.B. Blackrock]] asks about him in the med bay, [[Jazz]] tells him [[Ratchet]] isn't even sure if Sunstreaker will ever be operational again. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''(Note: This rending of his body appears to have occurred in a panel on page 9 of [[The New Order|US issue #5]], but the coloring is completely wrong for Sunstreaker. However, given Sunstreaker's absence in the scene on page 4 of [[DIS-Integrated Circuits|US issue #9]], which is meant to include all the Autobots, and Yomtov's penchant for completely messing up the colors, it seems reasonable that Sunstreaker is the Autobot Shockwave destroyed. Issue 10 shows him still in repair. The 1986 Marvel UK annual also listed his status as "injured; little possibility of revival.")''

Sunstreaker was fully repaired in time to view the duel between [[Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on the moon. The massive battle with the Decepticons which ensued apparently left him badly damaged once more, as he wound up in stasis aboard the Ark again, to be revived by [[Nucleon]] in 1990, when he and the other newly revived Autobots joined the attack on [[Unicron]]. Surprisingly, he survived that battle as he was able to attend the first meeting of the shaky Autobot-Decepticon alliance.

====Earthforce====
''(Note: These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel UK continuity. See [[Earthforce]] for details.)''

''Early into the Autobot-Decepticon war, Sunstreaker was a member of the [[Magnificent Six]]. While they were on a mission to the Stanix region of Cybertron, he made a remarkably [[Yuss#Locations|callous joke]] that convinced their allies to turn them over to the Decepticons. The entire unit was tortured for a week, and [[Stampede]] was killed. Nice. {{Storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

''An injured Sunstreaker, along with several other Autobots, was awakened not by Nucleon, but by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[Dream-Inducing Bug]]. Galvatron had studied their dreams in the aim of finding dissenting members of the Autobots that he hoped to put into his own employ, but after a short skirmish, Galvatron's device was placed on himself. He and the others would go on to join the Earthforce unit.

''Later, Sunstreaker was sent on a new mission to the Stanix region of Cybertron with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. While there, he overcame the ghosts of the past and helped defeat the mad Decepticon [[Megadeath]]. Of course, he was the only member of the team that didn't seen particularly haunted by those events in the first place, but the ''others'' overcame them, and wasn't that nice for them? {{Storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

===Animated continuity===
[[Image:Sunstreakerg1cartoon.jpg|thumb|right|A more kid-friendly sociopath.]]
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Corey Burton]] (US), [[Kenyu Horiuchi]] (Japan)

Sunstreaker was part of the original crew of Autobots aboard the [[Ark]] that crashlanded on Earth four million years ago. When reawakened in 1984, he and his brother Sidesewipe were reformatted into Lamborghini sports cars.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker often operated together. When [[antimatter]]-fueled Decepticons attacked the Ark on one occasion, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker took to the air to battle with the incoming seeker jets, in a rambunctious -- if ultimately ineffective -- display of "jet judo."

Sunstreaker was one of several Autobots who glommed onto [[Hoist_(G1)|Hoist]]'s job as a Hollywood extra in the hopes of becoming a movie star. This mainly resulted in him wearing a ridiculous alien mask and spouting out stilted, wooden dialogue.

Before the Decepticon attack on [[Autobot City]], Sunstreaker was helping [[Kup]] move a roadblock. He was knocked over when [[Hot Rod]] and [[Daniel Witwicky]] drove through it.

Meanwhile, he was '''also''' on Moon Base One and helped pilot the shuttle that flew [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] to Autobot City.

Seriously. He's ''THAT'' good.

===''Universe'' comics===
[[Image:Sunstreaker.jpg|thumb|left|I'm exclusive!]]

After the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Sunstreaker left Cybertron with five other survivors of the Great War ([[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Roulette]], [[Shadow Striker]], and [[Trailbreaker]]). One year after Cybertron was reformatted into a technorganic planet, they returned. They were greeted by many of the Maximal and Predacon inhabitants and with vast media coverage.

However, what appeared to be celebratory fireworks struck the five Autobots and also the Maximals [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Blackarachnia]]. They were transported to a fiery cauldron deep within [[Unicron]], where all but Trailbreaker were rebuilt painfully into new bodies.

Seeing an arena up ahead, the seven moved towards it, only to be attacked by a swarm of shape-shifting lava-like creatures. Sunstreaker and the others were overwhelmed and taken into the arena (or, the [[Cauldron]]), where they were caged along with a multitude of Transformers kidnapped from across the multiverse.

The Unicron-influenced ambiance of the place was slowly driving the more violent of the group mad. This, of course, included Sunstreaker. He and Sideswipe were forced into combat in the arena(each wielding spiffy [[Energon]] weapons), but were rescued by a reborn [[Optimus Primal]]. The group, sans a corrupted Blackarachnia and Shadow Striker, fled back to Cybertron.

===''Binaltech Asterisk''===
[[Image:SunstreakerBTA.jpg|thumb|right|Dig me!]]

Sunstreaker is a member of the Cybertron (Autobot) Race Team, which may or may not have any other Transformers on it. He's sort of a mascot for them, and the team doesn't actually use him in races. He resents that people pay more attention to him as a promotional image than as a racecar.

Sunstreaker is partnered with - for unknown reasons - the human "race queen" model [[Junko Shiragami]], and acts as her car. Once, Sunstreaker got in a race with a human-driven sports car, much to Junko's dismay. He used his transformation ability to take a particularly sharp curve, destroying a road sign in the process, for which Junko chewed him out.

It is said that Sunstreaker drives faster when he smells Junko's marigold-scented hair.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:G1_Sunstreaker_DWissue7_insecticonblast.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I'm not only better than you, I'm also gay.]]

Sunstreaker was part of Operation Liberation in 1998, a joint human-Autobot effort to defeat the Earth bounded Decepticons. At the end it was a success, and the captured Decepticons along with the Autobots and a human crew departed Earth en route to Cybertron in the ''[[Ark II]]''. The ship, however, was sabotaged and exploded upon liftoff.

A few years later Megatron and other Transformers, including Autobots, were seen causing havoc. It was discovered that [[Lazarus]], a scientist who participated in the ''Ark II'' project, was responsible for the sabotage of the ''Ark II'' and the resurrection of several Transformers under his control via technological tampering. {{storylink|Prime Directive, Part 1}}

[[Robert Hallo|General Hallo]] of the [[United States Military|US Military]] contacted [[Spike Witwicky]] to ask him if he could do something to help them reactivate Optimus Prime, whom they had recovered locked in a state of stasis. Spike managed to reactivate Optimus with a portion of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] that Optimus had given him prior the ill-fated journey of the ''Ark II''. Optimus subsequently went to the Arctic and used the Matrix to reactivate several Transformers, including Sunstreaker and his brother Sideswipe. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 2}}

Sunstreaker accepted the new task at hand and fought alongside his brother when the Autobots faced the Decepticons at Lazarus' ruined base before Hallo betrayed the Autobots by attempting to destroy both factions with a nuclear weapon. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 3}} The Autobots survived when Megatron's technovirus absorbed the blast, and Sunstreaker helped his comrades recover the captive Autobots imprisoned inside the base. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 4}}

As Jazz's unit worked on Megatron's virus, Sunstreaker followed Optimus Prime to [[San Francisco]] for the last battle against Megatron and his Decepticons. When [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] was taken down, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe heroically (though foolishly) charged at [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], they where smashed between the giant Constructicon's palms for their trouble. After Optimus Prime destroys Devastator's head, the Sunstreaker was restrained by the surviving Decepticons. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 5}} However, through human intervention, Optimus Prime freed his Autobots and the battle was rejoined. Sunstreaker tag-teamed with his brother to pummel Soundwave, though the Decepticons eventually escaped when Superion sacrificed his life to save the city from General Hallo's unauthorised nuclear missile launch. After Optimus Prime came back online, Sunstreaker and [[Trailbreaker]] discovered the traitorous [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] buried under rubble. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 6}}

When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived on Earth to enforce [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s edict that the Earth-bound Autobots surrender themselves to the Cybertronian alliance, Optimus Prime ordered a portion of his troops into hiding in [[Portland|Portland, Oregon]]. This group, led by [[Jazz]], included Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Brawn]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]. However, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], and his cassettes soon escaped to Earth with [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Attacking the Ark, they destroyed all of Jazz's group minus Ratchet and Brawn. Sunstreaker and the others were left in a swamp, deactivated.

A ship crewed by [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]] (led by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]) arrived on Earth with supplies, and Warpath and Bumper pulled the deactivated from their would-be swampy grave. They were promptly arrested by Commander [[Marissa Faireborn]] of the [[Earth Defense Command]] and her armored troops. The damaged were repaired.

Commander Faireborn came to Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Jazz with a mission. The American city of [[San Desto]] was under attack by Cybertronian creatures.

''(Note: Long after [[Dreamwave]] closed, [[Matt Moylan]] revealed that their version of Sunstreaker was intended to be gay, though this specific facet of his character didn't seem to be made apparent in any fiction.)''

{{-}}

===IDW comics continuity===

Back before the war Sunstreaker was a patron of illegal underground deathmatches in the [[Forge]]. He cheered on Megatron in his first victory there. He returned at least once more, to watch Megatron's 54th battle in the arena, this time apparently alongside his brother, Sideswipe. {{storylink|Megatron Origin, Part 2}}

{{spoiler}}

When Megatron, rising in power and influence, put on a recruitment call to all-comers, Sunstreaker came. He apparently thought the call was for the Gladitorial Games (it was actually the first recruitment call for the Decepticon army). Sideswipe tried to talk him out of joining the fights, to no avail. How they took Megatron's announcement, the apparent murder of a Senator, and how they faired when Autobot security forces raided the meeting is unknown. {{storylink|Megatron Origin, Part 3}}

Much later, Sunstreaker was one of many Autobots trained by [[Kup]] and is part of a detachment of Autobots that has operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, attempting to foil a Decepticon insurgency. His attitude is about as superior as his original incarnation, dismissing the three humans Ratchet saves as "noisy creatures".

Sunstreaker, along with Ironhide was assigned the task of escorting the noisy creatures back to the big wild world, Tulsa, Oklahoma. On a road in the vicinity of Lebanon, Missouri, Sunstreaker and company were ambushed by the [[Machination]]. He and his passenger [[Hunter O'Nion]] became separated from [[Ironhide]] and seemingly destroyed. It was soon revealed that it was not the case, the debris recovered by Optimus Prime was revealed by [[Ratchet]] to be an elaborate fake.

After re-awakening in a Machination stronghold, Hunter was horrified to find an unidentified being, possibly Cybertronian, had been creating a series of Sunstreaker "clones." {{storylink|Escalation, Issue 6}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Sunstreaker''' (Autobot, 1984)
[[Image:G1Sunstreaker_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Little. Yellow. Different.]]

: Sunstreaker was released as part of the first year of the Transformers line in the US. He is a yellow version of the [[Diaclone]] Lamborghini Countach LP500S "Super Tuning" toy. The Diaclone version came only in red or police deco; this is one of several items that have led to the fan speculation that Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's coloration and bio text were swapped around before final release. The statistics, however, are correct.

: In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) several different promotions, among them [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[robot points]].

[[Image:Sunstreaker-diaclone.jpg|thumb|right|Before he was a Transformer.]]

: Sunstreaker is generally considered to be one of the harder early Generation 1 toys to get complete and unbroken. There also appears to be little chance of a [[reissue]] of the toy, as this mold has been stated by [[Hasbro]] and [[Takara]] representatives to be one of several toys whose original molding has been either lost or in a state of disrepair too extensive to justify the cost of re-casting.

: Sunstreaker's only release in Japan was in the VS-Z set, along with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Skids (G1)|Skids]].

*'''Sunstreaker''' (Deluxe, 2003)

: A [[retool]] of the ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] mold, Sunstreaker was the "hotel [[exclusive]]" toy from [[OTFCC 2003]], available only to those who booked their room at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare at the convention rate, the official hotel for the convention.

: It is notable that the part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a yellow decal rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare.

: This mold is also used by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Inferno_(Universe)|Inferno]].

===Alternators/Binaltech Asterisk===
: Sunstreaker was originally planned as an the [[retool]] of the ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Sideswipe (G1)|Side Swipe]] Dodge Viper toy. Early prototypes that were leaked to the public even sported a sculpted Autobot logo. For reasons unknown, though, the toy was ultimately released as the [[Decepticon]] [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] instead. A Sunstreaker redeco of Dead End was finally released in 2005, when both [[Hasbro]] and [[Takara]] revealed two different takes on the toy.

A few months later, the Hasbro ''Alternators'' version was released as part of the standard Alternators line, in the redesigned "bubble" packaging (the third version of ''Alternators'' packaging). Though both are yellow redecos of the mold, the detailing between the two is very different, with the Hasbro version being a direct color-swap of the paint mask previously used for Dead End, adding red to the robot-mode parts as well as a pair of black racing stripes in car mode. Drastically put, the only two details virtually identical on both versions at first sight are the paint mask for the head and the license plate layout.

In the Transformers series bible entry for his brother [[Sideswipe]]. Sunstreaker is referred to by a different name, Spinout<ref>http://transformers.winterchill.com/bible/biblepage17.html</ref>. "Nearly the equal of his twin brother, Spinout, in combat, but less cold-blooded."

Windsweeper

2007-10-19T20:16:27Z

142.167.189.177: /* Generation 1 */ Seriously. The stub winglets, the airliner-like windscreen, the raised T-tail... How could you confuse that for an Aardvark?

:''Windsweeper is a [[Decepticon]] [[Triggercon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:windsweeper.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Germs, germs, germs are everywhere!]]

Neatness is an admirable quality in any creature. '''Windsweeper''' admires it very much. Head of Cybertronic sanitation, he dislikes being called a fancy garbage bot, but he loves to keep the world clean and pure, free of litter and stains. Litter and stains and slimy drippy oil spots and grubby rusty things, ugh. They make him feel itchy and dirty all over. Itchy and dirty. He hates the lazy litterbots who leave them behind. He hates them worst when they throw garbage at him and he has to scrub, scrub, scrub himself until he feels clean again.

As bad as Cybertron would be if he didn't constantly lock up oil-drippers and litterbugs in deep and dark (but clean) dungeons, other planets are far worse, covered in dirt, with the clean, blank sky full of disgusting clouds and birds and flying kites, and everything simply alive with creepy, crawly bugs. They give him the shakes, so he has to burn them and kill them dead, dead, dead with fire, pure, clean fire.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
:''('''Note''': Events in italics occurred only in the Marvel UK books.)''

Windsweeper and his fellow Triggercons were active on Cybertron during the early days of the war, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] were just beginning their feud. While tracking the Autobot leader and the [[Triggerbot]]s, Megatron and the Triggercons executed the keepers of [[Boltax]] and attempted to steal the power of the [[Underbase]]. They failed once Optimus Prime launched the Underbase into space to keep it out of Megatron's hands. {{Storylink|The Flames of Boltax}}

''Millions of years later, Windsweeper and the Triggercons were toiling under the hedonistic decadence of the [[Triumvirate]]. This trio had brought down the Decepticon Army, reducing their interests to a series of gladiatorial games. Once [[Straxus|"Megatron"]] returned and offered the Decepticons a return to the old ways, the Triggercons eagerly agreed and shot their current leaders in the back. {{Storylink|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire}}'' Windsweeper and his Triggercon partner [[Ruckus]] were soon reassigned to the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], under the command of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Lord Thunderwing]]. The Mayhems became involved in Thunderwing's obsessive quest to acquire the power of the Autobot's [[Creation Matrix]] for himself. In the last battle with the Autobot "Matrix hunter" units, Windsweeper was nearly killed by a [[Matrix-spawn]] while his leader was focused on claiming his prize. After Thunderwing's ultimate defeat, Windsweeper and the other Mayhems were taken into Autobot custody on the Ark without a fight. {{Storylink|Matrix Quest}}

===IDW comics continuity===

Windsweeper belongs to the crew of the [[Thanatos]], operating under [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s. He was lead into aerial combat by [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] during the battle with Thunderwing on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{Storylink|Stormbringer, Part 4}}

*'''Windsweeper''' (Triggercon, 1988)

: Windsweeper transforms from robot to modified B-1B Lancer bomber. Activating his [[Triggercon]] gimmick causes a pair of spring-loaded guns to flip out from his wings and point forward.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* It has been speculated that Windsweeper was originally supposed to be a [[Triggerbot]], not a Triggercon. His chromed, spring-loaded guns line up with the two ground-based Triggerbots, while the Autobot flier [[Dogfight]]'s unchromed, gear-turning guns would make him seem a more likely match with the Decepticons.
