Fiction
Earthrise marketing material
As the Ark was traveling through space, fuel ran low, thus falling to Optimus Prime to send Autobot Micromasters Fireguard, Roadburner and Windstorm to Micron collect the powerful yet dangerous plasma energy detected by Teletraan I. Decepticon Micromasters Stingracer, Runner, and Motorhead follow them, intending to sabotage their mission and seize the plasma energy for themselves. The Autobots take advantage of the dense population of Micron to hide out until they are ready to take the plasma energy. As Micron is the most secure planet in the universe, the generators for plasma energy are protected enough for both sides to struggle to reach them. The Decepticons make contact with the plasma energy first, so Autobot Micromasters deem the plasma energy too dangerous and leave.
What with it having effectively disintegrated the Decepticons who tried to actually take it.Micron Micromasters marketing material[1]

Generations
- 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. They 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 their vehicle mode is an 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.
