	So I found [https://www.lostlight.net/toy/aej/ this site] with images of the presumed green / yellow Lynsa version of Windcharger that's mentioned in this article... Except, I'm pretty sure that this is literally just the regular blue / grey version of Lynsa Windcharger after undergoing extensive [[photodegradation]], it is very common for blue plastic to degrade into green and the grey-to-yellow is pretty damn typical. Am I wrong and is this, in fact, a genuine retail variant? Or am I right and, given how these seem to be the only images of a "green and yellow" Windcharger in existence, the whole claim of such a variant existing might be 100% wrong? If anyone with more expertise could chime in then I'd appreciate it.

	I was looking at the [https://www.tfraw.com/p/sequence-08.html storyboard sequence for the end of the Battle of Autobot City], and noticed that it twice (at 8:11 and 8:15) refers to Windcharger as 'wounded' rather than dead; 8:17 shows Arcee reacting with grief to his death. This makes more sense than Arcee wasting time lugging his corpse around, and contextualises her reaction in the finished movie. Also, in the movie, Windcharger's eyes are still lit up while she's dragging him, but have gone dead when he's shown alongside Wheeljack. A minor detail, but it's kind of cool to still be noticing new things 35 years after first watching it!
