Windcharger - Transformers: Generation 1

Transformers: Generation 1

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.

According to original tech spec notes written by Bob Budiansky the original name for Windcharger was Sprint.

Windcharger was featured on the cover of the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine #37.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:

    ... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
