I hope the Cyberverse incarnation of Windblade is closest in personality to her IDW incarnation; there's a lot of places you can take a character who is compassionate and driven to do the right thing whilst simultaneously being ambitious and willing to flirt with ruthlessness and moral ambiguity.

[@JTC-qx2no]

Actually her personality is very different there's a little bit of her IDW incarnation's personality in there but overall she has a different personality however when it comes to deceptions her anger isn't as big as the prime wars trilogy windblade it's more similar to the TF prime optimus Prime's anger and I'm pretty sure she's gonna flirt mostly with bumblebee since they did hug three times

Windblade is pretty neat. Her appearance in combiner wars was the first time I got to see the character and I didn't like her take no prisoners and screw them all attitude. But over time I grew to like her machinima take and I've been reading her back story in the comics. She can't replace arcee for me. But she does add a new strong female character that is definitely needed in day and age

[@mattn4182]

Crazee Jaycee I can appreciate the role she fills of a new strong female character, but why her? she's just so boring. why not Nautica or velocity or even stardrive. all characters with either more personality or more interesting stories.

[@crazeejaycee1617]

Matt N maybe the reason they've pushed hard on windblade is because she is fan created. Give the fans more than a throw away character and make her somewhat important to a few stories to justify faith in the franchise? I dunno just spitballing really

[@mattn4182]

Crazee Jaycee a realistic theory, but if so they are pushing too hard. if the character could support the spotlight I would most likely be okay with this though. I just don't think windblade can. she lacks personality in my mind. she feels like she fits in better with gobots. gobots were all the same, each was heroic with little weakness. transformers each had a unique personality and weakness. windblade fits into the prior category in my opinion. that's just how I see it.

[@crazeejaycee1617]

Matt N your not wrong but windblade does have a pretty obvious weakness if you look at her over time. She's inexperienced. And not in that naive stupid wheelie way more like rodimus after gaining the matrix. And like rodimus she's growing. Pushing too hard is putting it gently. She's in on every toy line and series since her creation. So you and I are agreeing... this has to be completely unheard of in KZbin history let alone the cybertronian fan base lol

[@mattn4182]

Crazee Jaycee wow, I believing we are witnessing the dawn of a new age in which human beings can actually have a normal conversation without it devolving into a screaming match. seriously, it's really cool to find people on the internet sophisticated enough to have a polite peaceful discussion without it turning rude. thanks for that.

They’re all the same tbh, including Windblade. Just different paint jobs and/or body form.

[@huntergman8338]

@@langletprolet8378 And that's usually how it goes. And one of the many reasons why things like "representation" is pointless. It's the same story, but with a new skin, which is often terrible as those who demand it have a terrible character themselves.

[@langletprolet8378]

​@@huntergman8338 Sorry, but I do not agree with that conclusion. I said Windblade being the same archetype, and therefore have similar stories to Bumblebee, does not mean that representation in general is somehow pointless. Representation is important because it is just one of the ways viewers can engage with the story through relatable characters, whether from the depiction of looks or personality. The depiction of Optimus Prime as the father figure in the original cartoon in both form and personality is one of the ways why people get attached to him. I feel like this is something that people who are against so-called representation either forget or ignore. Whether story-wise they're good characters or not is a different debate entirely.

[@huntergman8338]

@@langletprolet8378 Here is the thing. When representation is argued for, it's the idea that someone needs to put in more of a certain skin tone or some trait that is ultimately unimportant and it often comes with the implication that the trait has to have some importance to the story. For example, the calls for more female protagonists often leads to cases where the a male character gets replaced with a woman. Ghost busters and the comic book industry are good examples of that. One thing to remember is that, despite what many like to think, there is an objective truth to things. For example, a hero always has the same set of values, like prudence. To get a more clearer idea of what I mean, a channel that I like called "the fourth age" discusses such things. Most of these newer characters often don't hold these values, which makes them terrible outside of villains if they were intentional. I honestly haven't heard any other idea of representation other then of skin or some other trait that ether doesn't matter or would be counter to the idea of their role.

[@renji90998]

When the character makes a live action, deep view, at some point, I think Kelly Hu should voice her. Have the character in Japan explaining her design work. In fact, she should be the main lead character. Sure you can have Optimus and Bumblebee but only has a cameo, and they are unable to make it because they’re busy. My idea for the next movie involves a little bit of the Combiner Wars. Where she teams up with the protectobots that form Defensor. They go up against the Decepticon combiners that form Bruticus. I have an ending where Swindle, miraculously survives and sells his fallen comrades parts to an arms dealer. Similar to an episode in the G1 series. Except this arms dealer is actually Destro, from COBRA.

Wind Sweeper Hey at least its something different design-wise. Although the uniqueness stopped at the head, the body design is basically just copy paste of every other fembots with those curvy lines and feminine silhouette. Sometimes I feel when it comes to Transformers just the design, with more bombastic and different it is, the more it warrant becoming a prominent character. Megatron is also basically a guy cosplayer wearing a bucket helmet, but that is the exact thing that makes him standout. In comparison, Scamper and Cerebros is your typical blocky robot dude with not much element that separates him apart.

[@KaijuCommander]

I'm not the biggest fan of Windblade, I was interested in her at first, but much of my interest in her was killed when IDW threw Chromia, a much more iconic female autobot, under the bus to make her look better by comparison, and simultaneously worse since she was willing to coverup a bomb attack just to conceal Chromia's involvement in said attack. Plus, Hasbro seems determined to cram her into everything these days without taking the time to properly flesh out a consistent character for her, as a result she often comes across as "Arcee but with wings" in most of her appearances outside of the comics, both the psycho crazy variant and the more benign, protective variant (not a fan of psycho Arcee either). If they have to keep using her, I think she'd work better as a primarily Cybertron based autobot rather than an earth based operative, kinda like Shockwave back in G1, and play up her city speaker status over her combat abilities since her ability to commune with titans was the most interesting & unique aspect about her to begin with, in contrast to characters like Chromia and Arcee who are much better established warriors than her. Maybe Metroplex could be the LAST Autobot stronghold left on Cybertron and Optimus Prime leaves her and Ultra Magnus, as Cityspeaker & Base Commander respectively, in charge to oversee the ongoing struggle against the cons back on the home front while he leaves for Earth with his team to find new resources. Granted, one COULD argue that Cityspeakers in general are ultimately unnecessary since the bots and cons were able to control their "titan" teammates long before the concept of cityspeakers even existed, so theres that to consider as well.

Dude, she stills OP on Cyberverse and some friends told me she was better...

[@novustalks7525]

She's pretty consistent and the vengeance part to her makes her unique

[@warlordsquerk5338]

I had no idea she was such a widely used and important character, or much about her at all for that matter. She sounds pretty neat

[@efrainjunior2409]

She needs to make her appearance in the Bumblebee sequel along with the others like Arcee.

Cool I never saw the toy up here in Hamilton Ontario Canada but I would think it transformer like the g1 seekers

[@mraaronhd]

Anybody else think it’s a full circle that Windblade’s design is Japanese themed, and the Transformers were originally from Japan…?

[@gandalflotr2898]

autobot Drift was a samurai

[@bumblebot2458]

Great to see a new episode man! I was worried there wouldn't be one, since last Saturday was absent of one as well. Glad to see that you're still pushing these out!

[@ChrisMcFeely]

I'd like to be able to put 'em out weekly but at the minute it seems like my production rate is about 2 every 3 weeks.

[@bumblebot2458]

Eh, it's fine! I'd rather that than once a month, y'know?

[@Getwright-]

[@jevanjful]

Jetfire: *can fly* Hound: "I am so happy someone on our team can fly!" Windblade: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@skyhunt9595]

Powerglide : bruhhh

[@thomasrichards460]

I'd love to see I video about Warpath. Great video once again!!

[@ztk1138]

I wonder Windblade will get her own live action spin off movie.

[@dylanfrancis5996]

A knight version? Okay, they have to revisit that idea someday. ...when they stop obsessing over “Evergreen designs” that is.
