Windrazor (Prime)

The name or term "Windrazor" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Windrazor (disambiguation).

Windrazor is a Predacon from the Aligned continuity family.

Devoid of empathy, the obedient Windrazor seeks only the destruction of others. A persistent, flight-capable Predacon, his high proficiency with ranged weapons makes closing in a daunting task for his enemies, while his sharp wings and impressive strength make short work of any unfortunate Autobot who could get close.

He and several of his fellow Predacons combine to form Abominus.

Windrazor was one of several Predacons who broke free of Shockwave's lab, causing the Decepticon scientist to flee. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals, and a video of him being subjected to Shockwave's experiments could be uncovered. Hunt the Beasts

Toys

Cyberverse

• Windrazor (Cyberverse Legion, 2013)
  • Series / Number: 3 / 008
  • Accessories: Tornado Bow

Part of the third wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Windrazor transforms into a bird-like dragon creature, and comes with a "Tornado Bow". He can hold the weapon via the latter's three 3mm posts, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.

Though not called out in the instructions, Windrazor combines with Cyberverse Twinstrike, Hun-Gurrr, Predacon Rippersnapper, and Blight to form Abominus, with Windrazor forming the right arm.

His bow accessory was also used, in varying colors, by Bumblebee, Airachnid, and Predacon Rippersnapper. This toy was redecoed into Divebomb and Go! Barara.

• Abominus (Giftset, 2013)
  • Accessories: Tornado Bow

Part of the Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising subline imprint, Abominus is a giftset of Cyberverse Hun-Gurrr, Windrazor, Predacon Rippersnapper, Twinstrike, and Blight, slightly redecoed by way of translucent plastic replacing a main color of each character, as well as translucent purple weapons.

The back of the packaging mistakenly switches their names, resulting in, among others, Windrazor getting Hun-Gurrr's name, and Rippersnapper getting Windrazor's.

This set is a Target exclusive in the United States and Canada, and a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom.

Beast Hunters

• Windrazor (Deluxe, 2014)
  • Accessories: Dragontooth Mace

Part of the first wave of 2014 Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Windrazor is functionally an upsized copy of his Cyberverse toy, though with minor detail differences and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.

A variant has been found in Germany and Norway (both countries also got the original version), which changes nearly all colors, possibly in order to distinguish him better from his very similarly colored wave-mate Twinstrike: Most notably, the cream yellow plastic used for the head, neck, shoulders and feet gets replaced by gray plastic. Furthermore, they cream yellow plastic used for the forearms and wings is changed to gold, the plastic used for the torso and legs gets changed to a darker shade of green, and the plastic used for the upper arms, tail and weapon, as well as the paint operations for the wings and forehead, get changed from a dark metallic purple to a brighter, flat purple. The only colors that are unchanged are the gold paint operation for the beak and the red paint operations for the eyes.

Notes

• Windrazor is, of course, an homage to Generation 1 Cutthroat. Should he look out for Buzzsaw?
