Fiction

[edit]

War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material

[edit]

After Cybertron fell, the Autobots left their homeworld aboard the Ark, traveling through space in pursuit of the AllSpark. Earthrise webpage<ref>Earthrise website</ref> As fuel ran low, it fell to Optimus Prime to send Fireguard, Roadburner and Windstorm to Micron to collect the powerful yet dangerous plasma energy detected by Teletraan I. Decepticon Micromasters Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead followed them, intending to sabotage their mission and seize the plasma energy for themselves.

The Autobots took advantage of the dense population of Micron to hide out until they were ready to take the plasma energy. As Micron was the most secure planet in the universe, the plasma energy generators were protected enough for both sides to struggle to reach them. The Decepticons made contact with the plasma energy first, only to be effectively disintegrated by it when the generator overloaded, so the Autobot Micromasters deemed the plasma energy too dangerous and left.

War for Cybertron: Earthrise

[edit]
  • Micron Micromasters (Galactic Odyssey Collection, 2021)
Part of the Encounter 2 set of the Earthrise Galactic Odyssey Collection, representing Micron, Windstorm is a redeco of Hot Rod Patrol leader Daddy-O, and transforms from a robot into a hot rod reminiscent of a Chevrolet Bel Air. Windstorm can combine with Stingracer to form a handheld weapon, but as the duo are from opposing factions, this would be a very strange story presentation.
Notably, the product description for Windstorm explicitly states that their vehicle mode is an homage to Kenner's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}M.A.S.K.|{{#if:||M.A.S.K.}}]] vehicles—specifically, the turquoise hot rod Hurricane. Like Stingracer, who is likewise an homage to the M.A.S.K. vehicle Stinger, Windstorm doesn't feature any faction insignias.
Windstorm is part of a six-pack exclusive to Amazon in the USA, bundled with fellow Autobots Fireguard and Roadburner, and Decepticons Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead. Despite being labeled as "Encounter 2" in the Galactic Odyssey Collection, this was the third set to be officially revealed.
