Nobody lays a finger on my Wingfinger.
  • Wingfinger (Deluxe Fossilizer, 2021)
    • Hasbro ID number: WFC-K25
    • TakaraTomy ID number: KD EX-08
    • TakaraTomy release date: November 27, 2021
    • Accessories: two wingtips/swords, Pteranodon skull, crest/Combiner head
Part of the third wave of War for Cybertron: Kingdom Deluxe Class figures, Wingfinger "transforms" from skeletal Pteranodon[2] to robot and back via being disassembled and reassembled. Wingfinger's two beast mode wingtips can become robot mode swords or be wielded in one hand as a bow (sans arrows).
Notably, Wingfinger's beast mode crest is a Combiner head for Fossilizer combinations, such as Mark Maher's Fossilizer Combiner consisting of Wingfinger, Paleotrex, and Ractonite.
As a Fossilizer, Wingfinger can split into weapons and armor compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System for use by other War for Cybertron Trilogy figures (or any figure with 5 mm post compatibility).
Like all Kingdom Deluxe figures, Wingfinger comes with a Golden Disk card that "reveals a possible destiny of a key character", with each character having three possible destiny variants.

Notes

  • Crest size was a sexual dimorphism indicator in Pteranodon, with females having much shorter crests than males. However, Wingfinger has a short crest despite being referred to with masculine pronouns by Mark Maher at Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021.
  • As demonstrated by the beast mode, "Wingfinger" is a literal translation of the scientific Greek term "pterodactyl" (πτερόν + δάκτυλος pterón + dáktulos).

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Wingfinger (ウイングフィンガー Uingufingā)
