Explanation of the conversion: I gave Windcharger a small hand laser.
Although he has a Firepower of 7, I made is a low level laser, figuring
that they were refering to his magnetic powers for Firepower. His
Flight only works in robot mode, whereas his wheels and hydrofoils only
work in vehicle mode.
History (Dreamwave comics): When civil war broke out on the planet
Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons, Windcharger joined the
Autobot cause.
Windcharger was among the Autobots who followed Optimus Prime on his
mission on board the Ark and crash landed on Earth.
In 1984, when the Ark's computer re-activated, it reformatted
Windcharger as in the form of an Earth car.
Eventually the combined forces of the Autobots on Earth, and their
human allies were able to capture the Decepticons. A ship called the
Ark II was built to take the Cybertonians back to Cybertron, along with
some human companions, but the ship exploded shortly after takeoff. The
human allies were killed, but the Cybertonians were lost in the ocean,
again in statis lock.
When Ultra Magnus came to Earth claiming that the Earth-based Autobots
were Cybertonian criminals Optimus Prime surrendered and with the
majority of Autobots returned to Cybertron. Jazz was left in charge of
the Ark, with Brawn, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and
Windcharger assigned to him.
Returning to Earth with the Combaticons, Starscream reformatted them
into Earth-style vehicles and attacked the Autobots remaining on Earth.
Forming Bruticus, the Combaticons defeated Jazz, Sideswipe,
Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and Windcharger. Only Ratchet and Brawn escaped
capture, but as they made their way back to the Ark, they discovered
it's defenses on automatic, and had to fight their way inside. Bruticus
followed them and Ratchet had to destroy the Ark in failed attempt to
destroy Bruticus. Starscream eventually captured Ratchet and Brawn,
right as an Autobot shuttle and Sunstorm arrived on Earth
(Transformers: Generation One III #1).
Jazz, Warpath, Bumper, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker rejoined Windcharger
and Wheeljack, who were repaired by the Earth Defense Command. They all
rejoined Ratchet on board the Autobot ship Orion (Transformers:
Generation One III #9).
Windcharger is the fastest Autobot of them all - for short distances.
He can go from 0 to 60 mph in automobile mode in almost no time
whatsoever, and that makes him useful in certain situations requiring
very fast, very decisive action. His personality is similar: what
Windcharger decides he decides immediately. He glances at something and
moves, seldom bothering to ask questions. This may be because his
attention span isn't particularly long. He becomes instantly
enthusiastic and a few hours later loses interest. His impatience often
diminishes his usefulness in lengthy, complex courses of action.
Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Windcharger
is played by actor John Stephenson. The toy of Windcharger is very
similar to that of Tailgate and Rook. Windcharger was also released as
a black keyhain in Japan. Some foreign variants of him come in blue and
yellow. There is also an Alternator toy named Windcharger.
Powers: In robot mode, Windcharger's arms act as the positive and
negative poles of a magnet. He can cast powerful magnetic fields at
distances up to 700 feet. He can levitate a 10-ton block of steel at
that distance. He can attract objects that are affected by magnetism
toward him or repel them. At closer distances he can rip them apart.
Windcharger carries a small laser pistol, which he can operate in
either form. He was outfitted with a special set of hydrofoils by
Wheeljack for travel on water. Windcharger sometimes utilizes a
standard Autobot jet pack.
Weaknesses: If overused, his magnetic ability uses up tremendous
amounts of power. Hence, he must be careful in using it. Unfortunately,
Windcharger is seldom careful and so is prone to debilitating
burn-outs. Windcharger isn't very strong or tough.
