It's been said before and it's going to be said again... I WANT IT.

And, yes, it's Black Shadow.

Have you tried Kohls for Jazz? It's a good place to find that wave. Windcharger has only shown up at CVS that I know of. If you have one in your area you might check it out.

LC speaks the truth. I still occasionally find RtS Jazz at Kohls and CVS has been the hot spot in my area to find Windchargers.

Wind charger at CVS Primarily? This is good news to me. I wonder though, why mainly/only CVS? Which line is W.C. from?

Windcharger is in the last wave of RTS scouts released. The U.K. got tons of them and Canada had a fair share but he hasn't shown up in the U.S. until recently when people started finding them at CVS.

I'm still waiting for him to be available individually (I don't want any Junkions). He looks even better than I was expecting, can't wait to see more pics

.

Oddly, BBTS still lists him as Blackshadow, not Sky Shadow.

BBTS doesn't usually go by official names for their product.

They just need to throw in a space after the K and capitalize the S. :-B

Hey it pays to be a member of seibertron! I found wind charger at the first C.V.S. I walked into, but was disappionted to say the least. I found the SMALL version of him. Surley this is not the version that everyone is talking about. Wind charger was not a small bot. There is a larger, deluxe sized windcharger yes?
The W.C. I found will most likely not measure up to even R.T.S. bumble bees size. Bee is my smallest T.F. at about three and a half inches tall and Id guess based on the size of his car mode that W.C. wont surpass that size unless maybe he is one of those bots that becomes taller in bot mode than his car mode would have you believe.....

No deluxe size Windcharger. The one everybody is talking about is scout sized.

Since the G1 figure was a mini-bot it makes sense for him to be small.

.......That is not the bot I saw. Perhaps I was mistaken. The bot I saw was in vehicle mode in the package. I am a large enough space caddet to have mixed up names when I saw the figs on the shelf.
I was just corrected by another member who told me that infact wind charger was a smller bot in the toons, so I am mistaken in that reguard as well. So charger is an RTS? He had no pic in the little poster/add that comes with RTS figures. I wonder why?
So is he at least as big as Bumble bee? a bit larger? a bit smaller? If he is as big as bee then I suppose I will actively hunt for him. He really is a very good depiction of the toon wind charger isnt he?
Still, I seem to recall him being in the mid sized bots. I wonder which bot Im thinking of?

If you're thinking red cars, you're probably thinking Sideswipe:

RtS Windcharger is a Scout, and since Classics Bumblebee is a Deluxe it's easy to see wh's smaller.
