Windblade is a fictional character in the Transformers universes. She is an Autobot and part of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Windblade is the first "fan-built bot" ever — the result of various polls on Hasbro's official website to determine most of her character and physical traits. She was officially revealed as a female Autobot at SDCC 2013.[1] In addition to getting a toy, she'll also get a special IDW mini-series written by Mairghread Scott and illustrated by Sarah Stone.[2] Scott did not give details on Windblade's backstory, but she did say that she has "no intention of presenting her in any sort of stereotypical geisha or hand-over-her-mouth-anime-girl role."[3][4]
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 comics
Transformers: Windblade is scheduled to be released in April 2014. It will be the first Transformers comic with an all-female creative team.[2]
