Fiction
BotCon Comics
In a distant 32nd Century, Cybertron is ruled by the Predacon Warlord Shokaract and only a tiny reistance of Maximals and Predacons remains to fight him.
In order to gain vital inteligence, a Maximal known as The Veteran merged his spark with a dying Predacon- the Cub. Windrazor was the result, powered by a strange dual spark. (Much like the Beast Warrior Tigerhawk.)
Windrazor traveled back in time to the closing act of Optimus Primal's Beast Wars to undo the damage which caused Shokaract to rise to power.
With Shokaract's timeline unraveling, Maximal Apelinq grabbed Windrazor and opened a transwarp portal back to his own time.
Windrazor's fate is unknown, but where two entered Apelinq's time portal, only Apelinq emerged...

Toys
Beast Wars
- Windrazor (Deluxe, 1999)
- Windrazor is a white-with-purple-accents redeco of the Maximal Silverbolt, transforming into an eagle-wolf hybrid creature. His wings have spring-loaded missile launcers, while pulling on his beast-mode tail swings them forward. Though easy to confuse with the much darker Silverbolt at a glance, it is impossible to mistake the two toys side by side.
- He was available exclusively at the Botcon 1999 Transformers Convention.
- Windrazor is the only convention exclusive sold on a card with a sealed plastic bubble. The packaging proved unpopular with collectors as it is impossible to remove the toy without destroying its packaging, and so that style was never used again.

The Cub is Predacon in Shokaract's 32nd Century future in Beast Wars continuity

The Cub's wolf mode is armed with tungsten claws and titanium teeth. His nose gives him an almost infalible tracking ability, which he hones by hunting rebels hiding in the sub-city levels. His robot mode is capable of short flight via jets located in the soles of his feet. By far however the Cub's greatest weapon his his feral berzerker rage. while in lupus mode, the Cub can be completely overtaken by his instincts, fighting with a maddened savagry no opponent can match.
Ironicly, the Cub's own vast natural talen may be his greatest weakness, he's never had to face a challenge on the battlefield his feral rage hasn't been able to overwhelm. As a result, his overwhelming offense remains his best— and only— defense. Facing an opponent that can counter his berzerker attack style, the Cub will learn this lesson very quickly... if he survives.
Heralds Template:Tooltip when sworn in. As a novice studying to be Herald, it's possible 'The Cub' is just descriptive nickname for a Transformer that lack an actual name.

The execution fell on Cataclysm, who made a point of tearing his brother apart slowly and systematicly so that none could accuse him of growing soft. The Cub was blinded, and an arm blown off, then left to die.
His still-functioning remains were recovered by Predacon rebels under the command of Sandstorm, who persuaded the Veteran to attempt to merge sparks with him, so that they could aquire his inside knowledge of Shokaract's plans. he did so, and a new being called Windrazor was created.
After the merge, the Cub's consciousness struggled with the Veteran for dominance until accepting one another and becoming a single individual.
Wild child, enfant terrible, overcome by his own instincts and feral berzerker rage. Not quite up to snuff in Antagony’s opnion.
