What are you basing this on, because to me they are one in the same?
And are you any official authority who has legitimate say on the matter?
Not saying I am, but the "to me" part of your post is irrelevant when dealing with scientific facts. As for a source,
Wikipedia has a full article on the matter, or if you'd rather not trust Wikipedia,
a quick Google Search brings up several articles.

No, she has sculpted plastic that is molded into a shape that serves only to
emulate the physical appearance of breasts in terms of aesthetics only. The plastic itself serves no functional purposes beyond those pertaining to structure and visual imitation through artificial means.

Not in the real world sense that I was speaking of, unless you sincerely believe that Mattel's plastic dolls have all the biological functions that flesh and blood organisms do.

If you truly knew the fiction, you'd know that Windblade exists in a post-war setting, and that she originated from a Cybertronian colony planet that had largely been isolated from warfare. Ergo, she's not built for combat. She's a civilian.

For
Earthlings, yes. But is this a universal truth for all extra-terrestrial lifeforms in existence? Not all aliens conform to the same bodily functions of us humans, and it is arrogant for us to always think so.

Sure, because it's the
female audiences who are predominately attracted to boobs.
shockblast2 wrote:And that doesn't even touch the fact that Windblade has never been to earth to copy the form to begin with!
Sure doesn't look like any Earth model jet I've ever seen.

No prob, Bob.
