Notes

The face of democracy.

• Windblade is the first "fan-built bot" ever — the result of various polls on Hasbro's official website to determine her character and physical traits... well, most of her traits, as her Japanese motifs weren't an option in the poll and seem to be the work of the design team. In addition to getting a toy, she'll also get a special IDW mini-series written by Mairghread Scott and illustrated by Sarah Stone.

• Her name works on many levels: "Wind Blade" is a real variety of industrial fan blade; she turns into a jet with VTOL turbofans; Hasbro designers had said they envisioned her coursing more energy into her sword blade through a spinning turbine fan in the hilt; and, of course, she was the fans' choice character.
