Fiction

Earthrise toy bios

Windstorm, Fireguard, and Roadburner were sent to retrieve plasma energy discovered on the planet Micron, only to be intercepted by the Decepticons. Despite extremely high security, they found the source of the energy... but then abandoned the mission when they realized it was far too dangerous to function as fuel for the Ark.

What with it having effectively disintegrated the Decepticons who tried to actually take it.Micron Micromasters bio[1]

  • 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. He can combine with Stingracer to form a wieldable weapon, but as the duo are from opposing factions, this doesn't work canonically.
Notably, the product description for Windstorm explicitly states that his vehicle mode is a homage to Kenner's M.A.S.K. vehicles - specifically, the turquoise hot rod Hurricane.
Windstorm is part of a six-pack exclusive to Amazon, 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. The reasons for this delay are unknown.
