    How do they come up with these names? If they make Windcharger, what will they call him? Illustration looks ok but I am in the wait and see camp.

    So glad that IGear are doing these guys. I'm assuming that these guys will be about as big as Classics Bumblebee?

    At first glance I suspected the plow looking thing on Cogz back in bot mode was the windshield. It remains a mystery, unless it's a skidplate from below in alt-mode. Airblaster is a better name than what I thought might be suggested for Windcharger.

    All well and good but Hasbro's isn't totally G1 in robot mode and these guys are nailing G1 likenesses. Also I have a feeling they are going for a full set.

    At least I'm hoping they are! At Brawn size......

    I've never been a fan of Gears, but this figure is so cool-looking, that I will more than likely buy one.

    Unfortunately, in this forum some participants would have an unfair advantage. :)

    Surely that name should be reserved for Windbreaker?

    I could see "blower".....but not windbreaker. Calling him windbreaker is like calling him a pair of pants. At least with "blower" one would think of a supercharger.

    forgot about windbreaker, but you can't use an actual tf name to represent a similar 3rd party figure, that would be IP infringment and HasTakOmy would be all over that. Plus it was kind of a joke as it was following suit with the current theme that was building up with the names (or maybe there was no theme, and it was all in my head :confused:  )
