Windblade is a Camien Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.

Sailor Caminus.

Windblade has put herself in charge of keeping her best friend Bumblebee out of trouble, which isn't easy now that he's lost his memories on Earth. It's lucky that this Camien has the skills to back up her stubborn determination and give the Decepticon Seekers a fly for their money!

Fiction

An immigrant to Cybertron from Caminus, Windblade's Cityspeaker talents gave her the ability to telepathically contact and communicate with other Transformers through her mind. Cube Windblade was good friends with Chromia before she left Caminus, Maccadam's and upon arriving on Cybertron she initially fell in with the egotistical Starscream and his Seeker friends. The group attended a cube match in Iacon, where Windblade first met Bumblebee after the yellow 'bot disguised himself to get into the stadium. After Bumblebee ran afoul of stadium security, Windblade contacted him telepathically and helped him sneak back into the stadium. After helping Bumblebee foil Starscream's plan to ruin the game with a tampered cube, Bumblebee invited her to meet some of his friends at his favorite bar, Maccadam's. Cube After rubbing shoulders with both Optimus and Megatron, Windblade met the bartender, who baffled both her and Bumblebee with some cryptic advice. Maccadam's

Some time later, following the rise of Megatron and his Decepticons early and the start of the war, Megatron Is My Hero Windblade — now an Autobot — visited Maccadam's, where Chromia unsuccessfully tried to convince her to return to Caminus. Windblade was skeptical when Bumblebee introduced her to a potential Decepticon deserter, though the conversation was cut short when Megatron broke into the bar. Maccadam's

At some point after the loss of Bumblebee's voice, it became clear that Megatron sought to seize control of the AllSpark. Windblade was one of the Autobots who took part in the battle to eject the artifact from Cybertron, taking down both Starscream and Shadow Striker and opening the path for Bumblebee to activate the space bridge that would take the AllSpark offworld. Allspark Optimus soon announced his intention to leave Cybertron and recover the artifact, and though Windblade tried to persuade Bumblebee to stay with her on Cybertron, he too joined the crew of the Ark. Memory On the day of Bumblebee's departure, the two friends visited the ruins of Maccadam's, and were surprised to find that the bar was still open. Maccadam poured them a drink and told the pair that, although they would be separated, they would always remain friends... and informed them that, one day in the future, they would need to find "the king of the dinosaurs." Maccadam's Feeling reassured about her friendship with Bumblebee, she then joined him when Grimlock called the yellow 'bot to the Ark's launch site. There, Windblade finally bade her friend farewell. Memory However, she remained in touch long enough to learn that Ratchet had been able to repair Bumblebee's damaged voice box. Fractured

In Prime's absence, Windblade and the other Autobot stragglers fought on, though it soon became clear that the heroes were outnumbered by the Decepticons. Eventually, it became clear that the Ark itself had been lost, and when Megatron realized that the Ark had tracked the AllSpark to the distant world of Earth, the Autobots soon caught word of this revelation. Perceptor was eventually able to repair Cybertron's space bridge, and Windblade travelled to Earth to search for the Autobot starship — a one-way trip, as the space bridge exploded behind her.

Windblade spent a long time on Earth, fruitlessly searching for the AllSpark or the Ark, until she eventually chanced across Bumblebee on Earth, rescuing him from almost falling off a cliff. She soon learned that Bumblebee had suffered damage, and was unable to remember her or his mission on Earth. The Decepticon Thundercracker soon showed up to rain on their parade, and bested Windblade with ease. The Seeker then tried to kill Bumblebee using Windblade's sword, but failed thanks to Bumblebee momentarily paralyzing him with his stinger. Windblade then blew the Decepticon off to parts unknown with her fans. She then attempted to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories with a cortical psychic patch, but this procedure failed and left the two Autobots unconscious after subjecting them to severe pain. Fractured

I will tolerate no reenactment, whether it's ironic or sincere, of the Patrick Swayze/Demi Moore pottery scene in Ghost.

The cortical psyshic patch also released a powerful energy pulse, alerting the Decepticons Thundercracker and Nova Storm to their location. Windblade, after coming to, immediately took to the skies to engage Nova Storm in a dogfight. She then instructed stinger-deprived Bumblebee to retreat to a nearby mineshaft, after which she used her detachable turbines to bury both Decepticons under a large pile of rubble. She then set off to found the Decepticons' ship, which she thought could be used as additional computing power for the cortical patch procedure, but discovered that Bumblebee had rushed in without listening to her carefully detailed plan about how to infiltrate the ship. Entering the bridge, she set up the cortical patch again to enter Bumblebee's memories, using her Cityspeaker skills to guide him through the process. While Windblade hoped to recover the current location of the Ark, Bumblebee only managed to recover a small fragmented memory detailing the ship's launch... and memories of Windblade herself, finally recognizing her as his old friend. The happy moment was unexpectedly cut short when Starscream contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing... only for Bumblebee to immediately seize the communicator and blow their cover, to Windblade's chagrin. Memory

After their cover was blown, Windblade and Bumblebee hijacked the Decepticon scout ship to get away, setting a course through a nearby mountain range. Bumblebee's piloting skills were so bad the scout ship nearly crashed into two mountains and caused the Decapitation of a tree so Windblade told Bumblebee to land near some radio towers, even though there was only one was visible. She also told Bumblebee that she would do all of the flying which made the little scout a bit sad. Later, Later, she once again set up the cortical patch. She told Bumblebee to access the memory of the Allspark to help him remember what it was. Windblade confrimed Bumblebee's assessment that the Allspark contains infinite life before directing him to a memory which showed how they lost the Allspark. After the memory ended, Windblade reminded Bumblebee that the "awesome guy" was Optimus Prime. Windblade commented on how Bumblebee's memory was repairing itself. Allspark (Cyberverse)

After the memory had ended, Windblade and Bumblebee had a chat about the other Autobots. Windblade tells Bumblebee that they might not have woken up and were still on the Ark.The Journey

After going through Bumblebee's memory, Windblade noticed the mountains in the background and after coming to the conclusion that it was in the Himalayas, decided to check it out without Bumblebee. She found the stasis pod Bumblebee had emerged from and his blaster. She gets ambushed by three Seekers and is interrogated but manages to defeat Thundercracker, Nova Storm and Slipstream before returning to the ship and returning Bumblebee's blaster.Whiteout

Toys

Cyberverse

• Windblade (Scout Class, 2018)
  • Action Attack: "Turbine Thrash"

Scout Class Windblade is a Legends-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Gerwalk mode "transformational mode" jet. She also features a "Turbine Thrash" Action Attack gimmick, which pops out light blue effects when activated.

• Windblade (Warrior Class, 2018)
  • Japanese Name: Wing Slicer Windblade
  • Japanese Release Date: July 2019
  • Japanese ID Number: TCV-03
  • Action Attack: "Cyclone Strike"

Released as part of the second wave of Cyberverse Warrior Class lineup, Windblade is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. Her "Cyclone Strike" Action Attack gimmick is activated by sliding the nosecone assembly on her back up and down, which, if done quickly enough, causes the front half of her wings to swing upwards. This triggers a mechanism that spins the front halves of the turbines on the wings.

Care must be taken to position her arms properly, however, or they might impede movement of the turbines. Unlike most Warrior Class toys, and despite the depiction in her stock photo, Windblade's head cannot swivel to any great degree.

Notes

• As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Windblade's design draws on the "evergreen" design also used for her Generation 1 counterpart, albeit with a lot of changes, to the point where it's not immediately obvious that it's based on the evergreen design more than one of the other, similar Windblade designs.

Foreign names
