    This is excellent news. And the voice is great, too!
    Now can we have more female 'Cons? ;) 
    Despite the similar designs, I still hope we get a Warrior Class toy of her. Wasn't really impressed with the Generations version and I'd like her to get a second chance.

    It's not, the chosen torso bot also decided the Legend to comes with it.

    Powerglide mold for Silverbolt mold etc.

    she better get a deluxe toy in the rid line because they never released the IDW wave over here, (they just started releasing Generations here with Combiner Wars, but before CW they didnt had any gens stuff here)

    Are the TFs in RID no longer giant robots? Because that scene looks like it's scaled for human combatants. Or else those are absurdly huge trees.

    That would be indeed sweet. Perhaps later on since that's what happened with Jazz in Animated and Wheeljack in Prime respectively.

    I wonder if this is how Hasbro intended the combiner reveal to happen. It would be funny if they intended the reveal to happen another way rather then in a news article.

    I expect it was, it's not something they accidentally let slip given the context and they've just created a lot of anticipation for seeing the actual toys at whatever coin is coming up next that's big enough to justify it.

    The level of hype is ironic seeing as Transformers themselves are genderless. Just making an observation. This is good news anyway.

    Sweet. Wonder if she'll get a new non-legends toy. If Hasbro decided to add Voyagers to the RID line next year, the plane would be a great place to start!

    My mind is boggling over the possibility of how this could be anything BUT pure awesomeness! I was hoping that that listing for a Legends RID Windblade would lead to something, and I was right! Between this and Victorion being a thing, it is an amazing time to be a fan of female Transformers, haha. Or hell, just Transformers in general!

    And yes, RID Windblade better at least get a Warrior class figure. If not a Voyager, assuming they decide to re-add those to the assortment.

    (plus, when I saw that Kristy Wu had been in two different RID episodes so far, I had a feeling that there was some big future role in store for her later-- you don't cast someone like her JUST to play a silly Southern-accented news lady)

    Sexless, not genderless.

    ^ Yeah, exactly. It's a biological thing, they clearly still have gender identities.

    Probably the best design in all of RID, even if the shapes of like her arms and stuff is very uninspired as per the style, the little deco embelishments are sweet, and that thruster attack is badass! Never even thought of the VTOL fans as weapons of any kind.

    (though WB not being able to tell Sideswipe's an Autobot just because he's covered in mud is a little... dumb. He still has blue eyes, and he didn't attack her. Not that RID has spectacular writing, but a character this cool-looking should have a better introduction)

    ^This statement begs repeating in the future.

    Transformers have been gendered ever since the first robot was acknowledged as a "he." You can't use gendered pronouns of any kind and still claim no gender is present.

    They REALLY want Windblade to be everywhere, don't they? That gives me an idea!

    Dear Hasbro,
    Have you guys noticed that Windblade didn't appear in
    Transformers: Animated?
    Sincerely,
    Me


    That should get Season 4 greenlit! :thumb
