Fiction

Shattered Glass

Windcharger was one of Side Burn's victims. He was kidnapped and dissected to produce parts for Side Burn's experiments with bio-mechanical Transhumans. His body was eventually found by Rodimus and the Autobots when Side Burn's true purpose was uncovered. Coalescence

• Camaro (Malignus, 1987)

The purple/lavender version of Camaro was repurposed as Shattered Glass Windcharger.

A redeco and slight retooling of the Mini Vehicle Windcharger, Camaro transforms into a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (which begs the question of what's up with his name). He was released only in Brazil by Estrela in two different color schemes: metal-flake blue with pale yellow, and dark purple with lavender robot parts. The mold was also slightly altered to accomodate the new "Malignus" sigil decal in robot mode.

All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes; in this instance, the purple/lavender Camaro goes for more.

This mold was also retooled to make Tailgate and later Rook.

Notes

• Windcharger was not physically described in the story, but Jesse Wittenrich later clarified his design intent on Twitter.
