- Wingstun is a Decepticon from the Robotmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Wingstun (ウィングスタン Wingusutan) has been assigned to keep tabs on energy management among the Decepticon forces. It is perhaps because of this aptitude that he has become the most proficient of the team in handling the energies of the solitarium-powered Arsenal Force mega-weapon.
His practicality manifests itself in another way; Wingstun specializes in striking from enemies' blind spots, incapacitating them with minimal effort and wasted ammo. He seems to be friends with Wrecker Hook, despite Wrecker's occasional wasteful berserker outbursts.[1]
