Title:
Wingblade
Description:
Wingblade (Ultra Class, 2008)
Accessories: Left & right blades, 2 blade-handles, left & right spring-loaded rocket launchers, 2 projectiles, red Autobot Cybertron-style Cyber Key
Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist)
A Toys"R"Us exclusive alongside Jetstorm, Wingblade is a redeco of Cybertron Wing Saber, transforming into a stylized A-10 Thunderbolt. Pressing the button behind his cockpit canopy causes "air combat sounds” (a mini-gun sound) to emit from a speaker on the bottom of the nosecone. Plugging a Cyber Key into the key slot behind his canopy enables his "hyperdrive mode” and reveals his "heavy blaster cannons and hyperdrive ram scoop”, splitting the nosecone fuselage in half and exposing a cannon with a red LED. Pressing the button activates the same machine gun sound effect, this time with the red LED flashing unobstructed. His wings can unfold to extend his wingspan for "super combat mode”.
Wingblade’s wing-flaps detach to form swords; for Wingblade to use them, they need to be inserted into sword-handles that plug into 5mm holes in his forearms, as his hands are incompatible with the standard weapon-pegs. His removable spring-loaded rocket launchers, mounted under his wings, can also be attached to those ports. His Key-activated cockpit gimmick can also be used in robot mode, being mounted over his head via a supporting strut, although it points at an upward angle.
Wingblade can also form a flight/weapons pack for the Cybertron Leader-class Optimus Prime mold. Of course, since that mold is not available as part of the Movie line, this feature is undocumented. His unfolding wings are part of this transformation, as is his expanding chest armor, which can be done anyway simply to give him a bit more of that "plate armor” look of the Movie bots.
This toy was also sold exclusively at The Warehouse in New Zealand.
