With a peculiar choice of timing, as a lot of people not in the US are probably still/already celebrating the arrival of the New Year, the official BotCon Twitter account and the official website have 'revealed' this year's theme for the convention exclusive set. It looks like you'll be hunting for Cybertron's Most Wanted in 2015 - a set of supposedly five figures nicknamed The Thief, The Muscle, the Loose Cannon, The Bounty Hunter and The Boss!
Profile:
Windbreaker has never met a joke he didn't like, and of course, fart jokes are his favorite of all. Nicknamed "SBD" (Silent But Deadly), Windbreaker is very popular among his allies. His jokes keep his comrades loose on the battlefield, and entertained when off duty. Windbreaker is a lover of anything that can be called retro, so much so that he upgraded his alt mode to a classic 1970's Trans Am and installed a record player and a mini disco ball. Can often be seen speeding down the highway at night, his disco ball shining through his windows. Tends to overuse some classic words and phrases, especially exotic terms for, and relating to, flatulence; "Barn-Burner," "Booty-bomb," "Fire in the hole," etc.
Abilities:
In robot mode Windbreaker carries an incendiary acid rifle whose explosive blasts can dissolve the strongest materials on contact. In vehicle mode, the noxious fumes given off by his malfunctioning catalytic converter can interfere with other bots targeting systems and incapacitate most organic life forms. Windbreaker is among the fastest of all Dairycons. On flat terrain his speed can even create a sonic boom...of sorts...disorienting his enemies and occasionally his allies.
Weaknesses:
Human allies have been known to faint or feel lightheaded in close proximity to Windbreaker. His robotic brethren often disable their olfactory sensors around him due to his catalytic converter problem, leaving them vulnerable to certain types of chemical attacks that they would otherwise detect. His disco ball occasionally gives away his position during battle. Calling out different code names for his 'lethal weapon' don't always win him friends. "Hey! I got yer Target-Moo-ster right here!"
WOW! This is definitely a toy 15 years in the making! Only DAIRYCON could have brought you this!

Something that somehow passed unobserved by a lot of us - a chance to meet and get an autograph by Peter Cullen, the legendary voice of Optimus Prime, recently awarded the Walk of Fame handprint recognition. If you're in the Sacramento area, on the weekend of 2nd-4th January, head along to SacAnime, but don't forget to pre-book your signing session right here.
SacAnime welcomes Peter Cullen (The voice of the Transformers’ Optimus Prime and Winnie the Pooh’s Eeyore) to our SacAnime Winter 2015 show. He will be participating in several panels and doing a VERY LIMITED number of autographs.
