#windblade #transformers #chromiaTransformers Battle Tactics’s new campaign is “Combiner Hunters!” Which means, in theory, you can collect Windblade, Chromia, and Arcee, if you either get amazingly lucky or have too much money to burn.
(All three are in their retail colors, versus actual Combiner Hunters colors)
I really like the “Combiner Hunters” SDCC exclusives!
Windblade: “I will tear you apart!”
Chromia: “I dare you say something about Windblade’s blue hair, I DARE YOU!”
And Arcee is like: “what is this?, what I’m doing here?, it’s ok Arcee just take the big sword and smile”

Who needs those other losers when you can have WINDBLADE.
Now to find a Chromia toy to go with her…..
Following wave, paired with Arcee. So, probably in stores starting in September.
hey everyone! i just found out that the Windblade toy is apparently now available for pre-order. Look at those links above. So excited to get one!
A note: BigBadToyStore doesn’t charge your card for the preorder until the item comes in stock, so if you’re on the fence, you’ve got a while to change your mind if you make the plunge.
wait those chromia designs are different which is reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaall
What’s that? Windblade? Animated?
So I’ve been sitting on this secret for awhile, but I got to write Windblade’s introduction episode for Transformers: Robots in Disguise season 1. Now if you’ve been following the comics, you’ll notice she’s a little more badass. This is definitely a different continuity’s Windblade, but she is still so awesome!
When I helped bring her to life in the comics, I never imagined I’d get to introduce her to even more people through TV.
Big thanks to Hasbro and the folks at TF RiD for letting me introduce this awesome ladybot to the world!

My niece will play with my Transformers when my nephew does, but she has never shown a real interest in my Transformers comics before. Until I showed her Windblade #1 and told her it was about girl Transformers and she pounced on it like a parched man on a desert oasis. I didn’t realise she wanted female Transformers that much. (She wants a Chromia toy now.) My dream of sharing my hobby with her has come a little closer.
You want to know why Windblade matters? This is why Windblade matters.
And Windblade isn’t even being sarcastic.
Hopefully there will be actual Chromia and Ironhide moments….
HA!! Best comment so far.

SCOTT & STORE TALK IDW’S WINDBLADE: THE FIRST TRANSFORMERS COMIC CREATED BY WOMEN
CA: You’re the first female writer/artist team on a Transformers book. In an ideal world that might go without comment, but I’m curious to know if you’ve encountered much resistance, especially from those who might see Transformers as a “boys” franchise.
Mairghread Scott: IDW and Hasbro have been nothing but supportive of us and, although it’s not possible for the Internet to be happy about pretty much anything, the negative comments we’ve gotten have been far outweighed by the positive responses. Change in a brand — and its creators — is never easy, but it’s absolutely vital and most fans realize that. I hear far more people who see Windblade as a great step toward opening the brand to new readers and new stories than I do fans who want everything to stay just as it was. I see far more fans being excited about the fact that Sarah’s art is completely different from the other (still fabulous) books, than wishing she could just ape someone else’s vision.
Sarah Stone: I’ve been keeping my nose to the grindstone since the announcement to work on the books, so I haven’t really been looking around much. What I have seen has been very supportive and I feel very humbled by that, but my main priority is just to have the books look as awesome as I’m physically capable of making them. Hopefully the art will speak for itself, and that I’m a girl will be just a footnote.
