Windblade, once an official 'City Speaker' to the gigantic 'Titans' is tired of the bureaucratic non-action of the Council, who seem to sit idly while her people and her cities on Caminus perish. She decides that the only way to end the Combiner Wars is to take matters into her own vengeful hands. The full series will be 8 episodes, coming to you Aug. 2!

Bit of a departure from her normal personality... hm. Not entirely sure I enjoy this; especially when the whole "I will get revenge" archetype has been done to death.

So she's a vengeful killer in this. huh. yeah, like Kurona said, far departure from what we've had so far. And we even got a peak at Devastator behind Menasor and Computron there. Wonder why those 2 keep getting the spotlight?

This just further indicates that this is its own little continuity. The Mistress would never abandon Caminus.

This is a bit weird, wonder why they changed her? Plus this isn't a great change to boot

Well, as was said she's basically IDW Arcee, but I'll go with it. Windblade can just be one of those characters who's really different in every continuity. Anybody know who's voicing her here?

So, she's just a rampaging killing machine? No irony there.
There are only two possible directions with this - the vengeance sticks and she's just a mindless weapon, or it doesn't, she backs off or is talked down, and this whole "bit" was overblown sensationalism with no follow-through.

I'm excited and very curious. I didn't expect Windblade to be portrayed like this which makes me wonder how other the characters will be portrayed.

Awfully curious about what they'll do with this story given that we have Rodimus Prime and the Mistress of Flame on the Council. That and that, as has been said a few times here, that Windblade has been turned into an IDW Arcee with a grudge against the Gestalts.

So from the comic-con press release:-
"... the anticipated digital series from Machinima, Transformers Combiner Wars, which is the first installment of the Generations Prime Wars Trilogy, launching on August 2nd."
Did we know this before? That the machinima itself was the first portion of the trilogy?

It's more likely referring to the cartoon is an aspect of the first portion of the trilogy, just as the toyline and comic storyline were. It's just that the cartoon is the one aspect of the first portion that's coming so much later than the other aspects.Kurona wrote:So from the comic-con press release:-

You guys forget how bent she was when she found Decepticons tampering with Metroplex. In the end this is a delightful reimagining. What if Starscream wasn't manipulating events in the background, what if Optimus wasn't there, what if there was no negotiating, what if Windblade was betrayed? How would that affect a character that has never seen a war. I am still excited to see some originality brought to Transformers.

I'm not forgetting; it's just I know it's not her dominant personality. She got angry and pissed about Decepticons tampering with Metroplex. Well... yeah. Of course she did. She isn't some sort of detached unrealistic robot who cannot feel anger - the point is rather that it doesn't fit her to be like this all the time. Most of the time she's calm, optimistic and altruistic - that's what defines her and it helps make her a parallel of Starscream. This doesn't feel like a version of Windblade as much as it feels just a random personality thrown into her CGI model.
And in any case, it's not really original. We've seen "war and the people who have made it have destroyed me and so I will get my revenge" a billion times, even in just Transformers alone - and the way she's being portrayed, as many have pointed out, is just IDW Arcee.

The Wiki's quick description of this prelude pretty much says it all:
"Tired of the violence and destruction on Caminus, Windblade decides to become violent and destructive."

"Tired of the violence and destruction on Caminus, Windblade decides to become violent and destructive."
