Windbreaker
- Windbreaker is an Autobot in the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity
Windbreaker seems to be the ultimate car warrior. He's strong; he's smart; he's fierce and brave. He's absurdly fast. He can rev up his engine and convert it into his silent and deadly partner, a powerful handgun. Nothing makes him happier than bursting through a tightly held perimeter, blasting away at the stunned enemy, or roaring into the quiet Autobot base to warn of a deadly danger blowing in the wind.
He seems completely invincible...and yet he's a simple scout. He must have a weakness. He must, he must.
UK & Spanish name: Zap
Italian name: Folgor

Windbreaker's superior speed serves his function of advanced scout well. His vehicle mode engine doubles as a defence module.

- Windbreaker (1993)
- Windbreaker transformed into an orange and blue car. He was initially released in the European market in 1993 as , during the "transitional" time when the Transformers toys took on the new Generation 2 sigils, but the packaging lacked the "Generation 2" line-name. He was slightly recolored for American release the same year, with the transparent pink plastic of his windows and lightpipe being replaced with a smokey grey plactic that was much harder to see through. He was released again in the UK in 1994 in G2 packaging, but the toy was identical to the original European-market release.
