The Energon Pub

This morning, we brought you new galleries for Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker, tonight it's two more galleries for new scout class figures Reveal the Shield Autobot Windcharger and Reveal the Shield Decepticon Chopsaw. This updated version of Windcharger is a properly sized homage to the original G1 minibot figure that features a similar red and black color scheme and louvers over the back windows. Chopsaw is a repaint of the 2010 Hunt for the Decepticons Brimstone figure and is not based on an existing character in the Transformers Universe. But according to his bio, we know one thing about him: he loves saws. Go figure!

I need a Windcharger now.


And then I need a really nicely done Generations Brawn to go with Classics Jetfire, and then we have the 3 Musketeers ready to rock it!

Amen to that. Ryan's sold me on yet another figure-at least it's an inexpensive one this time!

Windcharger is awesome. Here's hoping for a Tailgate repaint.

Assuming you will be able to actually find one. All of the preorder sites I am aware of have him sold out for $10 more than retail. That tells me the scalpers will be all over this one.

Yeah, I just saw that. I'll wait to find him on a peg a Target.

windcharger sold, i already got brimstone, cool mould but no need for chopsaw.

Awesome!!! Another 'former I like but will never see due to crack supply shortages and a new movie line.

Yay! A glimmer of hope! They might be released after all.

Firetrap makes a really good stand-in for Brawn if you want something in the same size range as Windcharger. In fact his robot mode looks closer to original Brawn than the actual Deluxe class Brawn does and since Hasbro already gave us the deluxe version, I doubt they'll give us another rendition done in either size class again. Having one for the Generations line would be pretty sweet though.

Windcharger is seriously high up on my NEED IT NOW list. In fact, he's second only to T-cracker. The hard part is going to be not picking it up on site since my youngest son wanted me to give him ideas for what to get me for my birthday but waiting 7 more weeks will drive me freaking insane.

Yeah, I have Firetrap, but I want a REALLY well done G1-style Brawn. I get what you're saying, I just want something intended to be G1 Brawn design from the beginning that is not legends class.

High hopes, I know, but lots of our collection hopes have been filled recently, so I'm adding this to the list.

No photos of Windcharger's alternate G1-esque transformation?

The light gray on Chopsaw really hurts it. It's just too bright, a black wash would help to bring out the details a lot better.

Windcharger's ok but a bit dull. This be the first time I've noticed his hands though even here they look almost invisible, should have been black to stand out more. His head still reminds me of a mini-me Megatron which the original character design never did.

I got Windcharger 2 weeks back now and he is mint and i got Brimstone which is a much better paint job even if the robot is pretty lame.

Chopsaw is a little goofy looking, but I love a motorcycle 'bot. Windcharger is just freakin sweet. I really like seeing hands that are not just balled up fists. As picky as I can be, I can find no fault in Windcharger at all. Just lovely.

I wish I could find a windcharger on the pegs somewhere...

I just got my Windcharger today and all I have to say is:

Dear Hasbro,

Forget Legends, we NEED more Scout class Classics!!! DO IT NOW!

If I ever find a Windcharger I'm getting it. If.

I really wish BBTS would open more pre-orders for this guy. It's weird they haven't yet, considering we're also supposed to get RTS Blue Rumble.

Amen brotha

Oh, yeah. I need Windcharger too. And a new Brawn, and Huffer and Gears. Come on, 1984 line!

chopsaw actually kinda reminds me of a nod to Armada Sideways...
