Hi, I'm new here and from Germany so sorry if my english isn't the best.
To all the people who said ugly Robotmode, I can see that the shoulders of Windblade are not in the right transforming position. I think when it's done the right way it will be look much better. Have nice day.

the more i see it the more i hate it, looks like hasbro spent very little time on this in development.

Oh god, that is a hideous mis-transformation. Otherwise, figure looks great!

Mis-transformed or not that is by far the ugliest Transformer I've ever seen. The jet mode looks good and I'm floored the sword has a sheath but, it's just ugly.

I have to disagree with you:

Maybe it's just the excellent art and personality of Sarah Stone's drawing style, but it seems like no medium other than the Windblade comic matches up her design with her personality. Every other one, the toy included, gives her a generic, aloof, detached look that doesn't help her character stand out as an earnest if naive civil servant.

This.

I think the body could be a little more petite looking and her features could be less...cold? Sorry, IMHO, Windblade is freaking adorable looking.

Welcome to the boards!

[Nemesis Maximo]

Ouch! And I thought Hasbro's photographers were bad!

Anyway, I never noticed the scabbard before. That is a NICE touch for a figure.

I hate to say it but it looks like Hasbro just looked at the poll went across the columns and just went with what was there without anyone thinking; gee, will this work?

[dragons]

Looks like few people wont buy her since she is mistransformed.

[SW's SilverHammer]

On a side note, I'm surprised with all the negative fan outcry, no one's added windblade (and fembots in general at this point) to the Ruined FOREVER page of TFWiki

[Fox Thiagarajan]

I've been wanting to repurpose one of my TFs as Raiden from the video game, Metal Gear Rising and that sword and sheath remind me of Raiden's.
Nonetheless, I cannot wait to obtain a Windblade! : )

If this figure is still garbage after release perhaps a 3rd Party can improve where our HasTak friends failed...again. Way to go guys. Anyway there had to be the one lousy TF among a bunch of great ones..'nuff said!

I just can't wait to see all the repaints and remolds this figure will get, you have to know those are coming since this was a completely new mold and tooling.

I'm telling you guys, Hasbro would be complete and total morons if they don't squeeze a Slipstream out of Windblade. It wouldn't be perfect fit, but it would be a hugely missed opportunity if it doesn't happen.

The hate has died down significantly ever since her comic series began, which has been critically-acclaimed among the fandom. People like Windblade.

I foresee Slipstream for sure. Perhaps a TFSS or Convention Exclusive Airrazor?

Airazor would be great, especially since the turbines on the wings could harken back to her Dawn of Future's Past body:

[GuyIncognito]

Couldn't they at least TRY to transform it correctly? A 6-year-old could do a better job.

Or Fun Pub could use the mold for Lyzack. She played a role in something they did that i vaguely remember from the transformers wiki, but more importantly she turns into a jet and wields a sword.

[Sabrblade]

Any Airazor the Club does for this figure would probably be a Beast Wars: Uprising version the character since that's the new story that Club is trying to push and focus on now.

Is there any good reason to pick up Armada Starscream remolded Jhiaxus besides it is being named Jhiaxus? I want an updated Jhiaxus but still don't really like this design.

Aside from the color scheme, it's a fairly accurate representation of the IDW iteration of the character in robot mode, as the wings are on ball joints and can be folded down and back out of the way, and the whole figure can be posed in a "hunched over" position.

You not buying that one figure could be the loss that causes Hasbro to not make their projected quarterly goals and thus Arcee, Chromia, Windblade, and Cosmos (any future versions) will be canceled never to be made; or not.

Cosmos is already out. Windblade is in the same wave. Okay, I got what you mean. I buy one Jhiaxus and that will save Hasbro's business.

Exactly, the future is in your hands

Arcees got wide hips and a flat chest. Chromia has a large chest but no hips. I guess you cant have it all...
