Thanks to The Mary Sue website, he now have an exclusive interview with Mairghread Scott, writer of the 4 part comic series ''Meet Windblade''.

It's a really good interview where she talks about Windblade, the bots appearing alongside her, and her place in the Transformers world. Also article includes exclusive previews of Windblade supporting characters by artist Sarah Stone; Blurr, Chromia, and Starscream!

Here's a little snippet from the article. You can read the rest of it from here, and check the new character art after the jump.

''Jaydot: The TFWiki entry about Windblade is pretty sparse. We know she’s got a “fancy sword” and turns into a jet, and there’s almost literally no other info about her. Without getting into too much background detail, which I understand might be spoilery, can you elaborate at all on who/what Windblade is?

Mairghread: To be fair, beyond being a jet and a sword fighter I started with a pretty blank slate when I developed Windblade, so don’t fault the wiki for that one. The most important thing for me when constructing Windblade was to make her a fully three-dimensional (read: flawed) character, so if I had to pick one word to describe her I would say that Windblade is trying. She’s an optimistic, hard-working Transformers character who is genuinely interested in helping others, but she’s also been dropped in the aftermath of a millennia (for real) long war that she was not really part of, so while she’s a very competent character, she’s way behind the curve when it comes to knowing who’s who and what’s what on Cybertron. This actually makes Transfomers: Windblade a really good starting point for new readers because almost everything on Cybertron is as new to her as it is to someone just entering the brand.''
