Hello and welcome, today we have the famous Windblade on the countdown to girls day part II. Without haste, let's get started.
Box and Content
First off, Windblade is G1 through comic continuity and of the latest Generations timeline. I was mainly exposed to her due to her appearance in the Combiner Wars/Titans Return/Power of the Primes cartoon shorts. The Japanese version however retcons all this and makes her G1 overall due to her combining with Nijika from season 3. The comic explains also how she became a targetmaster. Here is the link:

Alt mode (with Headmaster)
Flash photography was used for some of these pics and they came out fairly well. I forgot to flip the turbines for this mode but I did shoot one pic of the turbines facing the way they are supposed to. Later on for this part. Also, transformation back and forth was very easy; Windblade is probably the easiest figure in this line to transform to robot mode and back. The shiny white nosecone is a nice touch as well.
Pinpointer Targetmaster

Easy to play and transform but his head swivels in coordination with his waist. Basically, his waist swivel controls his head movement. Very awkward.
