So since the RTS stuff has been hitting the discount retail stores I've been doing my best trying to grab up the goodies. Today after work I met up with a close friend who let me have first dibs on some of their scout class cases they had in the back..He brings out 2 cases so Im thinking, sweet I just scored 2 windchargers easy peazy..WRONG.. I open the BRAND NEW cases and not 1 windcharger..Breacher, insecticon, oh they were there...but no windcharger..I'm at the point to where I don't even want to keep the damn thing, I just wanna see one in the wild :P

Now that that is over with, you shoul have no problem finding it.

Discount retailers are scarce here for toys. I've been trying to find Windcharger without any luck as well.

I'm beginning to think he doesn't actually exist. People just like to say they have it, but it's actually just a G1 Wheelie with a mustache.

Quick! Can someone make a comic based on that idea?

I forgot he was scout sized and not deluxe, so I missed out when he was probably here. I think there's a chance we'll see him again. I mean, there's the whole slew of expected new generations / RTS / whatever coming out with new heads. And if I don't see him then ... maybe I'll buy him.

I've got him. He's definitely real. Maybe he prefers the damp British climate.

RTS Windcharger falls on the category of a "cryptoid". (i.e. coined the phrase 'cause, well he is supposed to be a mechanical being) and not a cryptid. :lol:

I have to concur w/ the rumors part about Windcharger existing. I think they are just doctored pictures set to establish conspiracy theories. At this point I've decided to just not include any scout class aside from the Perfect Effect shadow warriors, scout warriors, and what have you.

I believe windcharger exists, but I also believe in bigfoot, UFO's, ghost, and a feasible and agreeable economic recovery plan that would be passed unanimously in the senate.

Some from NZ last month said their stores are filled with Windchargers. The irony.

As soon as we heard the news, I found Windcharger sitting on a peg at the very first Ross I tried.


Like he was waiting for me.


Or I'm a member of the conspiracy and totally lying to you. :-$

actually, bigfoot stole all the windchargers and frenzy/rumbles and is playing with them in the burmuda triangle. :-$

As hard as it is for me to offer this:

the People of the United States of America wrote:The United States is officially willing to trade the UK back Torchwood for RTS Windcharger.


I hope you understand the gravity of this offer.

I fully support the idea, but you do have to keep torchwood to yourselves lol

Honestly though, in shropshire Telford he was in pretty much every supermarket in vast amounts, i jumped in and got him for a silly price in the first shop i saw him in, only to find him for £4.99 repeatedly afterwards. Cyberverse Powerglide is another one that is everywhere atm.

However, i havent seen any Kups, warpaths, blurr, or most of the gens line (until tru have restocked a couple the last week)
