	However, since Wingblade spends all his spare time preparing for his next mission, his fellow Autobots are a little worried that he simply does not know how to live outside of the battlefield. Although he is one of the largest Autobots around, he never has anything to say unless he is acknowledging orders from his superiors. Most of Wingblade's allies are convinced that if the war ever ended, he would simply shut down and wait for a new one to start, which Wingblade has not denied. But at least he's in [[Roadbuster (G1)\|good company]].<ref>''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream\|The Reign of Starscream]]'' trade paperback bonus material</ref>		However, since Wingblade spends all his spare time preparing for his next mission, his fellow Autobots are a little worried that he simply does not know how to live outside of the battlefield.

	Many years ago, Wingblade was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]], under the overall command of [[Megatron (Movie)\|Protector Megatron]]. After [[The Fallen\|a mysterious relic]] was uncovered outside the [[Simfur Temple]] (which coincided with an attack by [[Ejoornian\|aliens]] unknown from the [[Eshems Nebula]]), {{storylink\|Defiance issue 1\|Defiance #1}} Protector Megatron changed, seizing control of Cybertron's military and essentially declaring himself dictator. Optimus implored the 'bots under his command to not follow Megatron into war, advice that Wingblade heeded. {{Storylink\|Defiance issue 2\|Defiance #2}} Unfortunately, soon after, Megatron declared Optimus and his group "traitors" following a failed attempt to capture the scientist leader and kill his subordinates. {{Storylink\|Defiance issue 3\|Defiance #3}}		Many years ago, Wingblade was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]], under the overall command of [[Megatron (Movie)\|Protector Megatron]].

	Forced by circumstances beyond their control, Wingblade and other scientists became soldiers in Optimus ''Prime''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Autobot faction against Megatron's Decepticons. He was present when the Autobots watched the Decepticons launch the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)\|Nemesis]]'' in search of a [[Star Harvester]]. {{storylink\|Foundation issue 3\|Foundation #3}} As the civil war reached its height, Optimus revealed his plan to allegedly capture the [[AllSpark]] and somehow transport it aboard their ship, the ''[[Ark (Movie)\|Ark]]''. What most of the Autobots didn't know was Optimus planned to launch the Cube into deep space, away from Megatron, to give the Autobots a fighting chance. Wingblade was one of the Autobots who elected to remain behind on Cybertron. {{Storylink\|Defiance issue 4\|Defiance #4}}		Forced by circumstances beyond their control, Wingblade and other scientists became soldiers in Optimus ''Prime''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Autobot faction against Megatron's Decepticons.

	Thousands of years later, after Megatron had been killed on [[Earth]] and the AllSpark destroyed, Wingblade and his friends were part of the Autobot underground resistance to [[Starscream (Movie)\|Starscream]] and [[Dreadwing (Movie)\|Dreadwing]]'s rule.

	~~==Notes==~~
	* Despite being part of the "Allspark Power" rebranding of the movie line, Wingblade (like all of the new-character store exclusives) has no "Allspark blue" on him.
	* According to [[Hasbro]] designer [[Joe Kyde]]'s design notes on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' website, Wingblade was loosely inspired by the A-10 Warthog gunships that appear in the live-action movie. His secondary colors were intended to be the color-wheel opposites of his casemate, [[Jetstorm (Movie)\|Jetstorm]], though it was acknowledged that this accidentally makes him a dim [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]] homage.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080803073316/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsID=4EC7EA7D-D56F-E112-46AC70D02754072E Joe Kyde's design notes]</ref>
	* Also according to Joe Kyde, Wingblade's Autobot symbol is a special kind of chrome that is apparently hard to obtain. Of course, on this score, he could be talking crap because it's funny. It also happens to be the same kind of chrome only otherwise seen on the Cyber Key of ''Cybertron'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#LeaderGalaxyForce\|Galaxy Force Optimus Prime]], with whom Wingblade can combine.
	* Wingblade's box-back shows him with a redeco of ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]]-shaped Key, instead of the standard Cybertron-Autobot one he actually comes with.

Of course, since that mold is not available as part of the ''Movie'' line, this feature is undocumented. His unfolding wings are part of this transformation, as is his expanding chest armor, which can be done anyway simply to give him a bit more of that "plate armor" look of the Movie bots.

	'''Wingblade''' is second only to [[Ironhide (Movie)\|Ironhide]] in the number of confirmed [[Decepticon]] kills, and that is only because Ironhide is older. When he is not hunting Decepticons, he can be found either training in combat or working on new weapons and maintaining his equipment in preparation for combat. He even keeps a lengthy database of alternate vehicle modes to change into so he can be as efficiently deadly as possible in any form. He is meticulous about keeping not only his vast arsenal in perfect working order, but scrubbing his body panels clean and keeping them damage-free.<ref>''Transformers'' Ultra Class Wingblade packaging bio</ref>		'''Wingblade''' is second only to [[Ironhide (Movie)\|Ironhide]] in the number of confirmed [[Decepticon]] kills, and that is only because Ironhide is older.

	: A [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] alongside [[Jetstorm (Movie)\|Jetstorm]], Wingblade is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)\|Cybertron]]'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)#Cybertron\|Wing Saber]], transforming into a stylized [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#A-10 Thunderbolt II\|A-10 Thunderbolt]]. Pressing the button behind his cockpit canopy causes "air combat sounds" (a mini-gun sound) to emit from a speaker on the bottom of the nosecone. Plugging a Cyber Key into the key slot behind his canopy enables his "hyperdrive mode" and reveals his "heavy blaster cannons and hyperdrive ram scoop", splitting the nosecone fuselage in half and exposing a cannon with a red LED. Pressing the button activates the same machine gun sound effect, this time with the red LED flashing unobstructed. His wings can unfold to extend his wingspan for "super combat mode".		: A [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] alongside [[Jetstorm (Movie)\|Jetstorm]], Wingblade is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)\|Cybertron]]'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)#Cybertron\|Wing Saber]], transforming into a stylized [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#A-10 Thunderbolt II\|A-10 Thunderbolt]].
