Like it wasn't too long ago she was in almost every new bit of media, but she seems to have been almost abandoned. She hasn't gotten a new transforming toy in ages (her last official product was the Flametoys model kit) and she certainly doesn't seem to be doing much in new media. Me and a friend have a few theories as to why (popularity wasn't helped by the fact they never really decided on a set personality for her, she was the brainchild of someone no longer working on the brand, etc) but it does seem a bit strange for her to go to heroine to zeroine in such a short space of time.

They were shoehorned in under the guise of being " fan created" ( well Windblade at least), and pun intended, I found those voting polls that created her highly dubious. Same with Victorion if I'm being honest, but they never really got beyond CW unlike Windblade.
