In a turn of events, I actually found Windcharger at a store! I bought this little guy at the beginning of the year, and he got my hopes up that I would maybe find everyone else in the Combiner Wars line at retail. Wrong! At any rate, I Windcharger is a repaint and slight retool of Generations Tailgate. I can't believe that I live in a world where Windcharger is the retool and Tailgate is the original. That just shows how a minor character can become popular when used in the right way, but I digress. Windcharger also demonstrates my inability to really talk about what amounts to a figure I've already discussed before since this is a repaint. This will be short, I promise. Or apologize for.
Sadly, Windcharger does not come with a weapon. On one hand, it's a nice throwback to his minibot roots. On the other, it's a cheap move to not even include a weapon, and STILL CHARGE THE SAME AMOUNT AS TAILGATE! Sorry about the outburst, but I think others may feel the same.
Windcharger features a new head sculpt that's fairly close to his IDW interpretation. Give me a Roller figure and we have the nice crew to do some heists and other hijinks with Orion Pax.
Still wish he had a gun...
