The name or term "Wind Sheer" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wind Sheer (disambiguation).
Wind Sheer is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Wind Sheer is the Mini-Con partner to Wheeljack, through thick and thin. Like Wheeljack, Wind Sheer used to be sided with the Autobots, but after their seeming betrayal by their teammates, Wind Sheer followed his partner over to the Decepticon side. He's not as sure about the decision to change sides as Wheeljack is, but won't abandon his friend, no matter what. And in return, Wheeljack fights hard to make sure none of his new allies try to take advantage of Wind Sheer.


Japanese name: Hawk


Fiction

Dreamwave Aramda comics

Wind Sheer was among the Earth-based Mini-Cons gathered at the Black Mesa in Arizona, just before the Transformers left Earth to return to Cybertron and fight off Unicron. Presumably, he was at the Loop in Cyber City, and gave his power to the Mini-Con Matrix, which dealt the critical blow to Unicron.
