He was in the previous issue too, doesn’t he? I like to think he just happened to wander onpanel at the best/worst time and he was all “oh hey strangers what’s going on OH GOD I’M A LEG”
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.

So did anyone find any of the easter eggs I hid in Windblade #7? :3

Loved the new Windblade issue! A great read! Is there any chance we will know who Knockout's Conjunx Endurae is? :)

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, ALL THE SPOILERS!!!
It’s Prime Breakdown. In fact you’ll see him in the next issue. This relationship was one I really wanted to explore I just ran into one little problem…the OTHER Breakdown! G1 Breakdown is in IDW and active right now. There was a really valid concern that two Breakdowns from two worlds with similar designs that could conceivably meet would be confusing.
I know people might point to the two Tankors, but notice how different they look and how they essentially function as a unit where the Breakdowns would not.
So…yes it’s Breakdown. Yes you’ll see him, but when/how he’ll be named hasn’t been decided.

Now to find a Chromia toy to go with her…..

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.
A preview featuring a couple extra pages from Transformers Windblade #1, including my favorite line in the whole issue. ;) Happy Monday! Only two days to go!
