In an army populated by inadequate and crazed warriors like [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] and [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]], '''Flamefeather''' is still the worst of them all. He was actually thrown out of the [[Decepticon Military Academy]] for being too violent. Normally that's like [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] throwing out a [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] who talks too much [[Television|TeeVee]], but in this case it was warranted. Flamefeather's lust for destruction supersedes all other concerns like discipline, orders, or the difference between insignias. He was only let into the Decepticons because his instructors figured he'd get himself killed and solve their problem. Countless battles later, he's still here somehow.

Sometimes he is inexplicably more intelligent and has the title of "Raid Planner".

''Flamefeather and the Firecons operated from Cybertron under the direction of the [[Decepticon High Council]]. On behalf of their masters, they came to Earth looking for [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], in the hopes of negotiating an alliance with the powerful Decepticon. There, they had some fun burning a [[Sparkabot|trio of Autobots]] who were also looking for Galvatron. Despite [[Sizzle (G1)|Sizzle]] socking him good in the beak, Flamefeather soldiered through the battle, and met with Galvatron as he emerged from the nearby shore. He then voiced his proposal to the super-Decepticon, only for Galvatron to reject it outright. Flamefeather wound up being able to do little else but stare as Galvatron took off on his own.'' {{storylink|Enemy Action!}} ''Sometime later, Flamefeather and the Firecons reopened the [[Jekka Amphitheatre]] in the city-state of [[Tyrest]] for gladiatorial combat. Working with the overseer, [[Zabra]], they managed to make a tidy profit until [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Sparkabot|Sparklers]] got involved. The Firecons decided to cut their losses, and left Zabra and the Autobots to sort out their differences.'' {{storylink|Deadly Games!}}

Flamefeather and the Firecons were working detention at a Decepticon prison camp when they got word from [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] on Earth to set loose three Autobots as guinea pigs for a new weapon in development. This didn't sit too well with Flamefeather, and he made a point of egging the Autobots on when the Firecons came to collect the prisoners, prompting a brief but fierce battle. Still, he remembered his place enough to avoid permanently damaging the prisoners, and sent them on their way. {{storylink|Ca$h and Car-nage!}}

''[[Decepticon High Command]] decreed that the [[Transformers Annual 1989]] was anti-Decepticon propaganda and sent the Firecons to Earth to incinerate every copy not protected by the Autobots.'' {{storylink|Transformers Annual 1989}}

''On another occasion, Flamefeather came to Earth for the High Council with [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and the [[Triggercon]]s to retrieve [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. Thunderwing had made a bid for Decepticon leadership, but failed the required test due to the intervention of Autobots [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and [[Siren (G1)|Siren]]. Enraged by his loss, Thunderwing refused to return to Cybertron in the shuttlecraft with Flamefeather and the others. Instead, he commandeered the Decepticons for an all out assault on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], in the name of vengeance.'' {{storylink|Rage!}} ''Naturally, the assault failed and Thunderwing, Flamefeather and the other Decepticons were repulsed by the united Autobot forces.

[[File:G2Redux-FlamefeathertorchesFizzle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Flamefeather and the Firecons were among the first generation Decepticons sent back to Earth by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] once he heard of the new faction of Decepticons that had formed there. Flamefeather joined up with [[Clench (G1)|Clench]] and the Decepticon Syndicate along with several others first gen warriors like [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]], [[Double Punch]], and [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer]]. He was one of the first Decepticons exposed to the power of [[forestonite]], developing enhanced fire-breath as well as a brilliant canary yellow color scheme. Flamefeather and the Syndicate turned their new power against the Autobots, but an accident in the lab soon spread the forestonite to the Autobots as well. Clench was defeated and fled with most of his soldiers, but Flamefeather was captured by the Autobots. He was later seen leashed by [[Motormouth]], maybe as a new pet. Polly want some energon? {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

Having somehow escaped from the Autobots, the three Firecons were presented to [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] as a "bonus incentive" on Clench's behalf. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2}} Under his new leader, Flamefeather was made to undertake training to temper his volatile personality. Jhiaxus saw potential in Flamefeather, and set him in charge of the Battlechargers. Together, they gathered several supplies needed for Jhiaxus's future plans to succeed. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 45|Flamefeather's profile in Club magazine #45}} When some captive Autobots freed themselves, {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 5}} the trio attacked them, only to be blasted by a tornado from [[Windbreaker]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

[[File:Flamefeather city of steel.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]]
Once the war was over, the Firecons came to live in a Decepticon ghetto on Cybertron, where Flamefeather took particular offense at a visit from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] and attacked him with fire-breath, triggering an angry mob to attempt to lynch Prime, {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} who escaped thanks to [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} Shortly afterwards, [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar was burned down, and the Firecons suspected—and feared—Autobot reprisal. Their hideout was then attacked by [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], suspecting their involvement in recent murders making use of infernus bullets, and Flamefeather found himself violently taken out by [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]]'s thagomizer. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} Their lives were spared thanks to the intervention of Optimus Prime, who had them taken into custody and later realized that the Firecons were innocent as they didn't ''need'' infernus bullets to kill people with fire. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}

Flamefeather was part of a Decepticon crowd attending a speech by [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], who asked them to join him and conquer [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} They thought this sounded great and marched on Cybertron's [[space bridge]], seeking to use it to travel to the ''[[Ark-7]]'' near Earth. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} A number of them, including Flamefeather, successfully penetrated the bridge and took control of the ''Ark-7'', crashing it in [[Shanghai]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

Windrazor was one of several Predacons who broke free of Shockwave's lab, causing the Decepticon scientist to flee. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals, and a video of him being subjected to Shockwave's experiments could be uncovered.
As the experiment proceeds, Shockwave records the proceeding, narrating into his experiment log that he is inserting a spark into the predacon's body.{{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

:Though not called out in the [[instructions]], Windrazor combines with ''Cyberverse'' [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Cyberverse|Twinstrike]], [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)#Cyberverse|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Cyberverse|Predacon Rippersnapper]], and [[Blight (Prime)#Cyberverse|Blight]] to form [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]], with Windrazor forming the right arm.

:His bow accessory was also used, in varying colors, by [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#BHCyberverse|Bumblebee]], [[Airachnid (Prime)#Cyberverse|Airachnid]], and Predacon Rippersnapper. This toy was [[redeco]]ed into ''Prime'' [[Divebomb (Prime)|Divebomb]], ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' [[Barara]], [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Swoop (G1)#LegionClass|Strafe]], and ''[[The Last Knight]]'' [[Rupture]]. This toy was also [[repurposing|repurposed]] as G1 [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] in IDW's ''[[The Transformers: Windblade|Windblade]]'' series.

*'''Abominus''' (Giftset, 2013)
**''Accessories'': Tornado Bow

:Part of the ''[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising]]'' [[subline imprint]], [[Abominus (Prime)#Giftset|Abominus]] is a [[giftset]] of ''Cyberverse'' [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)#Giftset|Hun-Gurrr]], Windrazor, [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Giftset|Predacon Rippersnapper]], [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Giftset|Twinstrike]], and [[Blight (Prime)#Giftset|Blight]], slightly redecoed by way of translucent plastic replacing a main color of each character, as well as translucent purple weapons. In Windrazor's case, the light yellow plastic is now translucent; in addition, the green plastic has been changed to a light teal shade, and the [[tampograph]]ed Predacon insignia on his right shoulder has been changed from yellow with black outlines to purple without outlines.

:The back of the [[packaging]] mistakenly switches their names, resulting in, among others, Windrazor getting Hun-Gurrr's name, and Rippersnapper getting Windrazor's.

:This set was a [[Target]] [[exclusive]] in the [[United States of America|United States]] and [[Canada]], a [[Tesco]] exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]], a Carrefour exclusive in France, a Ripley exclusive in Chile, and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Australia much later, in late 2014. The packaging does not identify it as a Cyberverse product.

*'''Windrazor''' (Deluxe, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' Dragontooth Mace

:Part of the first wave of 2014 ''Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Windrazor is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with minor detail differences and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity, and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.

:Due to being released after the Christmas season and [[tail-ender|before the launching]] of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]], Windrazor and the other figures of his [[wave]] were ultimately only available in Europe and Hong Kong, in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] in both instances (an unusual occurrence for Hong Kong).

:A [[variant]] has been found in Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands (all three countries also got the original version),<ref name="variant1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-deluxe-windrazor-variant-179863/ Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Windrazor variant?] at TFW2005</ref><ref name="variant2">[http://www.allspark.com/content/2014/05/comparison-images-of-beast-hunters-deluxe-windrazor-variants/ Comparison images of Beast Hunters Deluxe Windrazor variants] at The Allspark</ref><ref name="variant3">[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-toy-haul-thread-p1655789.php#p1656260 Seibertron sighting of the Windrazor variant in the Netherlands]</ref> which changes nearly all colors, possibly in order to distinguish him better from his ''very'' similarly colored [[wave]]-mate [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Deluxe|Twinstrike]], with the figure looking very similar (but not identical) to the wallpaper of Windrazor unlocked by playing the "[[Hunt the Beasts]]" online game (currently used as the main image of this article): Most notably, the cream yellow plastic used for the head, neck, shoulders and feet gets replaced by gray plastic. Furthermore, they cream yellow plastic used for the forearms and wings is changed to gold, the plastic used for the torso and legs gets changed to a darker shade of green, and the plastic used for the upper arms, tail and weapon, as well as the [[paint operation]]s for the wings and forehead, get changed from a dark metallic purple to a brighter, flat purple. The only colors that are unchanged are the gold paint operations for the [[robot mode]] face, the beak and the claws and the red paint operations for the eyes in both modes. The variant appears to be less common than the original version, since there are four known production date codes for the original but only one for the variant.<ref name="variant4">[http://ofensau.wordpress.com/2014/07/26/beast-hunters-deluxe-class-vs-cyberverse-legion-class-windrazor-twinstrike/ Comparison between both variants of Deluxe Class Windrazor] (and also Deluxe Class Twinstrike and Legion Class Windrazor and Twinstrike).</ref>

==Notes==
*Windrazor is, of course, an homage to [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]]. Should he look out for [[Buzzsaw (FOC)|Buzzsaw]]?<ref> A: Yes. Everybody should look out for Buzzsaw. Constantly. </ref>
