- Windrazor is a Decepticon from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Windrazor leads the Skyscorchers, a team of Decepticon jets. He holds the goal of Autobot annihilation above all else, including the lives of himself and his teammates. This single-minded ideal fuels his sick genius in battle.

- Windrazor (Skyscorcher, 1993/1994)
- Windrazor transforms into a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet. His undercarriage radar becomes a hand-held non-firing blaster weapon for robot mode.
- He was originally sold in the European market in 1993 (under the name Tornado) as part of the "transitional" line that used the Generation 2 faction sigils, but lacked the new subline name. He was later released in the US, with no notable changes, as part of the Generation 2 line. He was then later re-released in the European version of Generation 2 in 1994.
Unreleased
Windrazor's mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-G2 Takara Block Town line, as an Autobot. To be redecoed in white, he was to come with the TFBT-3 Airport Building Set, a building-block airport tower that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. This set ultimately never came to release.
In 2005, a supposed Takara "release" schedule listed the Block Town sets among several other future items coming out. Only the Galaxy Force items on that list saw release, however (and some only as store exclusives to boot).
Since very little information exists on the line's more fictional aspects, it is unknown if this toy was to be the same general character Windrazor, or a new character altogether, thought the whole "Autobot" thing leans heavily towards "new".
