Windcharger is an Autobot who transforms between his robot mode and his car mode.  He is one of the Minibots, named so because of the small size of the Transformers belonging to this group.  Wheelie is impatient with a short attention span, but when an action needs to be decided on quickly he is the one to call (according to his Tech Spec).  This latter characteristic suits him well in his role as Warrior.

The Generation 1 Windcharger was released in 1984 without a rub symbol or with one from 1985 onwards.
