Thanks to Mark Maher once more on Instagram, we have the latest designer notes for a Transformers Legacy figure, and this time, we have notes for the highly anticipated Cyberverse Windblade!

Windblade is classified as the Cyberverse universe version of the character, and while she does bear a lot of visuals from that version, Mark notes they infused some of her first toy as well as some of her Machinima series design into her. The result is a beautiful figure that is sure to impress.

Check out the notes and images below, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Oh my my my, a Monday Morning #Markclonus post! Mmm mmm
.
Feast your eyes on the mighty fiesty fan favorite Legacy United Deluxe Cyberverse Windblade!
.
Koki Yamada san has just been blessing these Legacy Generations figures and my excitement to work with him cannot be contained!
.
She does resemble her appearance in Cyberverse as I felt in my heart her character persona and features in that series really stood out. But, this figure adopts traits and style tidbits from her first generations figure and her appearance in the machinima series. I did peek at alot of the comic styles of her and the Legacy United fusion has welcomed this sleek, aerodynamic version of her to slice into your collection.
.
Move over Knockout, cause this heart throb is a fierce warrior with a plethora of abilities. Her stormfall sword will ignite with energon essence due to its shear power. Her tessen head fan actually has a special ability that can assist with her city speaker powers but I’ll let you all play that story out on your own! Her face deco came out so clean and gorgeous, I focus alot of energy towards head sculpts as I feel its what brings the soul of the character to life.
.
Please enjoy the rotating turbofans in this super sonic jet mode. The stormfall swords turbine hilt is able to be plugged into her side thigh and also can be utilized as a fire blast engine effect. Did I mention the cockpit seats that Koki san slipped in there, bringing them diaclone pilot vibes back into the mainstream is always welcomed.
.
Up next…?

That Windblade is definitely the best one since Titan Returns.

Their deal for free shipping on orders over $79 is saving me somewhere between $10-$20. I know they've been known to ship later than other retailers, but I'm in no real rush to have that set. Plus I also finally ordered SS86 Frenzy. He's supposed to ship next month, and that was included in the free shipping deal; so I'm probably saving closer to $20 all said and done.

Hope, that was the right move for you. The Amazon Japan price hadn't reflected its reduced price yet and now it's sold out. By my estimate the Amazon price with shipping was already below Hasbro's MSRP and going to come down more.

Wonder if she'll actually come with any effects besides the Stormfall Sword's blade. About time we had a Windy toy with a better representation of her turbine-blast power.

And please retool this mold into a female Seeker; maybe they can be the centerpiece of the next troop builder 4-pack!

If I remember correctly, she is rumored to be retooled into Slipstream

I just don't care for the proportions on this one. It's probably just me, but her head seems a bit too small for her body, or her body is too buff for her head. It looks like she's wearing a padded suit. Also, that alt mode is a brick with wings.

I might pick up a Slipstream retool because I don't have a Slipstream, but I have a Generations Windblade that looks far better than that one. To me, at any rate.

Windblade's head is too small! Strongarm's head is too big! Windblade is too buff! Strongarm isn't buff enough! Even robot women's bodies are under the microscope.

As far as I know, he ain't even rumored.

I think it's more to do with their aesthetic in the show not accurately being depicted in toy form.
While I'm not bothered by any of it because I have zero interest in those shows anyway, even I notice how the heads appear to be out of proportion to their bodies.

That said, I am leaning towards getting Strongarm because it did turn out alright looking. And I need something else to go with my out of place Legacy Elita-1. lol

If Windblade does the figure will cost $40+

We already know Windblade only comes with the sword. The figure is already up for pre-order:
https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... -windblade

We don't know if the rumored Slipstream or any other retools might have other accessories. There have been a couple recent redecoed exclusives with additional accessories including blast effects, and yes, a price increase to match. So this may happen, but that's just hopeful speculation, not part of the existing Windblade release.

Edit: I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the blue-green fire blast effects used in Mark's Instagram post are from the Victory Saber release.

I believe they are from the Tricranius set with the multiple blast effects.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right. That was my first guess, but then for some reason I didn't think that came with the Siege Jetfire parts, but it does.

Pretty sure his are more green, those look exactly like the ones from Tricranius, even the same number of them.

Top image is from Transformerland and seems to have been taken on a light table, but you get the idea.
Those red ones may be prototypes or perhaps for something upcoming? I'm not seeing a match for them among the figures that use that style on the guide on TFWiki.

(Edit: Derp, spent too long looking for photos and trying to figure out where the red ones came from...)

I think the Hot Shot pack's are too orange, but that could just be lighting.

Seriously, look at the toy images and compare them to the drawings. Windblade looks like she went on a steroid binge somewhere between concept and execution.

Throw in those blast effects and she's Roid-Rage Windbrick.

You might be right. Stock photos were very orange while some in hand shots were almost red so that might be it.

I have Victory Saber and his are a darker, clearer and greener. Also have Powerlinx Hot Shot and those red ones are his, under light they do have a slight orange tint.

In this case, 'beauty' must truly be in the eye of the beholder, because I'm not really seeing it. Easy pass...
