:''Wind Sheer is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Wind Sheer''' is the Mini-Con partner to [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]], through thick and thin. Like Wheeljack, Wind Sheer used to be sided with the [[Autobot]]s, but after their seeming betrayal by their teammates, Wind Sheer followed his partner over to the [[Decepticon]] side. He's not as sure about the decision to change sides as Wheeljack is, but won't abandon his friend, no matter what. And in return, Wheeljack fights hard to make sure none of his new allies try to take advantage of Wind Sheer.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
Wind Sheer was among the [[Earth]]-based Mini-Cons gathered at the Black Mesa in Arizona, just before the Transformers left Earth to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and fight off [[Unicron]]. Presumably, he was at the [[Loop]] in [[Cyber City]], and gave his power to the [[Mini-Con Matrix]], which dealt the critical blow to Unicron. {{storylink|The End}}

===''Cybertron'' comic===
Wind Sheer was seen among the Mini-Con rebels led by the [[Sky Terror Mini-Con Team]], using powerful [[energon weapon]]s to strike at bases held by the [[Mini-Con Council of Sages]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 4}} He was present at the battle where [[Unicron]] made his presence known in a big way, though it is not known how he fared in it. {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Aurex 606.0 Kappa]], Wind Sheer was the partner of the former Autobot [[Drench (Universe)|Drench]]. He fought with Drench and [[Landslide (Decepticon)|Landslide]] against [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]], [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]], and the [[Emergency Mini-Con Team]] before being driven off. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/14}}

*'''Wheeljack with Mini-Con Wind Sheer''' (Deluxe, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-07'''

: Available only with his larger partner Wheeljack, Wind Sheer transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter]]. He's designed to fit snugly into the indentation on Wheeljack's roof, activating his [[Powerlinx]]-triggered gull-wing doors.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version of Wind Sheer, named "Hawk", uses solid black plastic rather than Hasbro's really dark gray.

: This toy doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Wind-Sheer]], and this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Whisper (SG)#Timelines|Whisper]].

*'''Rampage and Hawk with Air Assault Micron''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MS-08'''

: In Japan, Wheeljack and Wind Sheer were available both as an individual release, and in a multi-pack with the [[Aerial Extermination Mini-Con Team#Wheeljack2pack|Air Assault Micron]].

===Universe (2003)===
[[Image:Unreleased-Drench02.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Dammit, why?!]]
*'''Smokescreen Vs Drench'''

: Wind Sheer's mold was intended to be [[redeco]]ed as part of a ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Battle in a Box]] set with Wheeljack-mold redeco [[Drench (Universe)#Universe (2003)|Drench]], [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)#Universe (2003)|Smokescreen]], and a Mini-Con presumably named [[Jolt (Armada)#Universe (2003)|Jolt]]. While the "final" name of this version of the Wind Sheer mold is not ''actually'' known, if the previous Battle in a Box sets are any indication, he'd have been named "Wind Sheer" and given no indication if he was the same character or an alternate-universe incarnation or what. His deco was eventually used for ''Shattered Glass'' [[Whisper (SG)#Timelines|Whisper]], a different character altogether.

==Notes==
* Though a character model sheet was made for Wind Sheer, it doesn't look like he appears in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]] at all.
* Wind Sheer's toy arms appear to have been placed on the wrong sides. His forearms have "cuts" for (admittedly nonexistent) elbow joints on the ''backsides'' of his arms, plus the wedge that prevents his arms from swinging forward in robot mode appear to be there to prevent his arms from swinging too far ''back'' and smooshing the now-upward-pointing claw in jet mode. If reversed, it appears Wind Sheer would be able to point both arms directly ahead of him parallel to the ground, rather than at a 45-degree angle downward (once his wings are positioned in their proper 45-degree tilt). His [[character model]] shown in the ''[[Micron Densetsu Year Book 2003|Micron Legend Yearbook 2003]]'' has the arms reversed from the toy's, so the vertical points of his triangular hands are on the underside, not topside as the toy has them, supporting the "swapped" theory. Unfortunately, his arms are bolted to his wing assemblies, which makes swapping them nigh-impossible.
