Just to make my first effort at dispelling the myth that I am a humorless killjoy, I have added a stub for Windbreaker.

Suki - fart joke delivered as promised (albeit it in a somewhat roundabout way). --[[User:Sofaman|Sofaman]] 13:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Couchster - Congratulations are offered, good sir. Actually it doesn't *always* have to be a flatulence joke, but we all like a good snark around here. At least I think we all do. After all, the Transformers universe
is a very silly place sometimes. (Oh, and by the way, Windbreaker's tech spec has ridiculously inflated stats, doesn't it?)[[User:Autobus Prime|Autobus Prime]] 15:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, all of the Euro 1993 G1 group do. Out of that group of 22, only eight have anything below a 7, and the lowest stat is a 5. The 1992 Euro line's stats aren't as inflated, but are still pretty high. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 19:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

==Bio/ Tech Spec==
Are we copying the bio verbatim from the toy packaging, or are we rewriting it in our own words? --[[User:Crockalley|Crockalley]] 14:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
: No copying. Placing an entire tech spec bio on here is essentially claiming it's public domain. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

:: Whoops - my bad. If figured that by putting the header "Tech Spec" on it that clearly identified the source, since it's hard to give any other useful copyright info for it. --[[User:Sofaman|Sofaman]] 15:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Thing is, you can only use small amounts of a work to fall under fair use. Panels, quotes, and frames fall under fair use because they are only a small part of works. Entire bios by Hasbro or whomever aren't fair use since you're showing the entire work without permission. [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 15:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

i much prefer windbreaker's slightly more sensible (but not by much) name of Zap in Europe. makes sense of the other axelerator Skram's name, in a way. a shame the other two weren't called 'biff' and 'pow' :) - skyquake87

winbreaker aslo went under the slightly more sensible (but not by much) name of Zap in Europe. which i much prefer. makes sense of the other axelerator Skram's name, in a way. a shame the other two weren't called 'biff' and 'pow' :) - skyquake87

Skyquake87:

"Trivia" section:
''Thunder Clash began life as "Hyperdrive".'' (...) ''At one point, he was to be the leader 'above' Thunder Clash, but in the end, the design still never saw the light of day.''
So... Thunder Clash was going to be the leader above himself? Huh? --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 18:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe Thunder Clash was originally going to be a smaller-class of TF, as Hyperdrive was going to be the big-ticket item that was originally more complex (which would make sense given the size difference between the Autobot leader and Skyquake. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 19:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
::So they were going to make two different Transformers that turned into essentially the same truck? Or Thunder Clash was going to be the name given to some other design? SOME kind of information is missing here. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 19:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hyperdrive needs his own article. MOnzo was iffy on how you could have someoen above Thunder Clash (who is Commander in Chief,) but Commander in Chief is a military raink. In the American system it's entailed in the presidency, but in other countries it can be a seperate man. In this case- Hyperdrive. He's the Autobot leader, and the Commander in Chief of the armed forces answers to him. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Just something that may be of note. I own this toy, and like the G2 Laser cycle Roadpig, he has very fragile tabs inside his feet that are prone to breaking very easily. The figure also sports gold plastic on his feet, but as with G2 Electro, this seems to be a slightly better mix, so I am not sure if he suffers from GPS per se - Skyquake87
