Wow. Is he ORANGE. Holy cow, my eyes are going to be seeing the afterimage for days. Normally I like the blue and orange combination (such as in Huffer) but in smaller doses. Holy crap, this is going to take some getting used to. He’s obviously decoed like Fire Guts God Ginrai, but with some blue accents for his windows and shield logo. Speaking of the shield, that does make him seem more like a knight as we know, and BotCon did tweet out that we’ll get swords in a souvenir pack, so I’m looking forward to that. Man. That’s…

There are a couple of books that IDW is releasing tomorrow that caught my eye. First and foremost we have the highly-anticipated Transformers: Windblade #1. The character of Windblade is fascinating from a behind-the-scenes standpoint alone. It’s the first character ever created in Transformers with input from all fans. Last year, Hasbro put up a poll asking what kind of character the fans would want, and lo-and-behold, we have Windblade, a female Transformer that exists in a universe where there aren’t many of her kind. Not only that, she’s also the only robot around who can speak to Metroplex. In the
