    Huh, I didn't even think of it.

    Yes, I'd love to see a Slipstream repaint/remold. Even i she'd look way too different from Starscream and the other Seekers, this would be awesome.

    I think everyone and their grandma had the same idea. Whether or not HasTak actually does it is another story. Some Radicons definitely will though.

    As far as Nightbird, there's really nothing stopping HasTak from giving the character her own figure nor IDW from incorporating her into their mythos either if they really wanted to (aside from thinking that fembots won't be a hot seller). G1 isn't the end all and be all of TFs.

    This is seriously all I've got. REALLY needs a new head and wings (and maybe a new chest).

    Honestly i think to turn Windblade into Slipstream would require significant remolding as i would prefer an animated inspired look.

    my personal preference would never happen and that is the animated seeker activator with a new head as Slipstream.

    Sign me up!! I hate Windblade! She couldn't be more stereotypical looking. Slipstream is where it's at!

    Not bad, colors look pretty spot on. Definitely a new head, maybe remolded wings and/or faux canopy chest, throw in some different weapons and boom, Slipstream. I personally don't mind if she's not a Seeker clone but rather her own unique jet mode figure.

    They can scan different modes after all.

    I'd buy that. Really, I'm up for any redeco/retool of that Windblade that gives a new head. The figure looks pretty decent, but that Windblade head.... so stupid.

    It makes the most sense. I mean, there's like no other jet femme out there.

    Plus if every Generations figure is getting retooled...

    Make it a remold. The mold as of now doesn't look evil enough

    I thought I was the only one. I know they've been showing how close Earth and Cybertronian cultures are, but a Geisha? Really?
    Agreed!!

    Well I never really thought of Slipstream as evil looking. She's actually very elegant looking if you ask me.

    Slipstream isn't evil...she's just full of self-loathing.

    Not. A. Geisha. And remember, we already have Skullhead Samurai, so the idea of a Japanese Transformer deco is only about, oh, 25 years old...

    Based on the armada Starscream retool to Jhaxius, I'd wager a guess that Slipstream will be on her way later in the year or early next.

    Who cares? He was a pretender at that point. Now if her back story says she likes that deco and that's why she chose to look that way, that's one thing. Personally, I don't know much about the character because quite franky I hate the design! WOW, I forgot how easy it is to offend people on this site.

    That would be awesome! I like my TFSS Slipstream, especially after I added a custom head, but an actual version from a female toy would be great!
