Intro. Windblade's personality is defined by being a brave, swift, and clever warrior with a strong sense of honor and loyalty, but also a stubborn, sometimes vengeful streak and a tendency to be honest to a fault. She is a skilled swordswoman, a diplomat, and a Cityspeaker, capable of communicating with ancient titans, though her methods and unwavering convictions can sometimes cause friction with her allies. Windblade is a "fan-built bot" — 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 being made as a toy, she was also lead a special IDW comic mini-series written by Mairghread Scott and illustrated by Sarah Stone.[2] Scott didn't give details on Windblade's backstory, but she did say that she had "no intention of presenting her in any sort of stereotypical geisha or hand-over-her-mouth-anime-girl role."[
