This must be Windcharger's art. But it's not official! Oh, the harshness of reality. I think we need to either get it published somewhere or ask Aaron Archer to approve it. Yeah.

I'm not obsessed. --ItsWalky 07:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Jackpot's "Return to Sender"; very cool. That picture and WC's UK team-up with Ravage(toy-based model and all) make him a measurable 175% better than the average Minibot. I still remember the 'Windcharger gets crushed by sliding doors' ending from one of the Find Your Fate books...--Autobus Prime 17:08, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Crasher

Did Windcharger have a girlfriend named Crasher?

Unless it was something that Dreamwave did, no. Plus, she's a Renegade. It'd never work out. --Monzo 02:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Dodge Charger LX?

Seriously? Windcharger looks nothing like this. If anything, he's a genericized muscle car with a bit of Ford Mustang and some Dodge Challenger thrown in. The rear window, of course, is taken straight from G1 Windcharger.--Nevermore 05:07, 2 March 2011 (EST)

Change it then. --FFN 05:14, 2 March 2011 (EST)
Okay, apparently I was wrong on one account - the vent in the hood resembles that of a Dodge Charger SRT-8. That's where the similarities end, however.--Nevermore 07:46, 3 March 2011 (EST)

2010 toy

This description sure is a giant clusterfuck. Just say "muscle car" and be done with it, man. If you have to smush four cars together to get it, it doesn't look like any of them.

(And there's a picture of Windcharger's legs RIGHT THERE.)

Transformers 2010 toy

Anyone care to add how he wasn't really released? I mean, do a few dozen being sold in the UK really count? Were any actually seen in US stores? I think the fact that a "normal release" scout class costs BotCon exclusive prices because of how ill distributed it was warrants some mention.

He was purchased at US retail. And he wasn't just released in the UK either. I picked up about two dozen at German stores and shipped them to people in the US. In fact, the ones I found more recently showed that he was a shelfwarmer in my neck of the woods.--Nevermore 12:54, 15 November 2011 (EST)
Far as I know he was only ever confirmed at Ross. "such as" is a little generous. --76.28.76.206 15:43, 15 November 2011 (EST)
Also at CVS --Khajidha 15:57, 15 November 2011 (EST)
Yeah, I think the US is the only place that had problems with its release, up in Canada he was available at regular retail and grocery stores. --Detour 17:58, 15 November 2011 (EST)
