'''Windrazor''' is one of the five [[Air Team]] robots who make up the legendary super robot [[Superion Maximus]]. A warrior who remembered the first age of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]],and a member in two senses of the Autobot Air Team, he must have seen a lot. What stories he could have told, given the chance, but he wasn't. He just blowed up real good.

When the current Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] discovered a hidden chamber and four ancient, towering guardians, he destroyed one of the Autobot guardians, reactivating the ones that remained and revealing the [[Super Energon]] pool they had been guarding for countless years. {{storylink|Ambition}} Superion Maximus awoke to find [[Anonymous Maximus|his brother]] dead, with the Decepticon leader claiming the Super Energon for himself, absorbing its power to become Galvatron. Superion tried to stop him to no avail, so he split up into the Air Team and escaped, with [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus]] in hot pursuit. {{storylink|Wishes}}

During a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, Windrazor was part of [[Storm Jet (Energon)|Storm Jet]]'s Air Team, fighting the [[Destruction Team]] and the [[Construction Team]]. They combined into Superion Maximus to take on both Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus, but were eventually defeated. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Windrazor and the Air Team had their revenge against the Destruction and Construction teams during a final show down with the treacherous Decepticon combiners. Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus double teamed Superion Maximus, who held his own, managing to briefly fend off Bruticus before crushing Constructicon's spark. However, Bruticus Maximus recovered and destroyed Windrazor and the other three Superion limbs, leaving Storm Jet alone. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

{{note|Windrazor was never referred to by name, nor was he ever presented as a sentient, individual being. Most of his appearances were as the left leg of Superion Maximus.}}

*'''Windrazor''' (Basic, 2004)
**''Team ID number:'' '''A4'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 dual-barrel cannons, connector piece, Autobot-type [[energon star]]

: Windrazor shares a mold with his teammate [[Treadshot (Energon)|Treadshot]], transforming into a red and grey fighter jet based on the F-22 Raptor. He can also form a leg or arm to any ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg to Superion Maximus. He comes with two double-barreled guns and a connector piece, which can form hand-held weapons as well as become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus a blue "super energon" Autobot-style energon star.

:This mold was later used for the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors Club]]-exclusive [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]; the ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' (2008) [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] components [[Airazor (Universe)|Airazor]] and [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]], as well as the identical the Target-exclusive ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] components [[Airazor (ROTF)|Airazor]] and [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]].
