When I decided to make a 'True Windcharger' - since the Alternator
release is actually Overdrive with the wrong name - the obvious
contender for the car was the Mazda RX-8. Sleek and sporty, perhaps not
as impressive as the Trans-Am Firebird, but certainly appropriate for
one of my favourite (and one of my first) Generation 1 toys. Since
there was one released in red as part of the Binaltech line
(unofficially known as Zoom Zoom, a 'clone' of Meister), I picked one
up - fairly cheaply, as it happened - and kept him in storage until I
could lay my hands on Decepticharge. Since Decepticharge is very hard
to find owing to a limited US release, and a nonexistant UK release (so
far, though he's apparently become a 'European Exclusive', widely
available on the continent), I had to wait quite some time, eventually
finding him at an amazingly good price on eBay.
The head would look much better were it not for the rather excessively
broad shoulders on this model, but overall I think he makes quite an
acceptable Windcharger, and with very few additional paint
applications. Most of the work went into adding the necessary details
to the head, and the metallic paints were rather stubborn. I've
referenced Gen 1 as closely as possible, using a dark metallic colour
for the majority of the head, adding little red accents on top and on
the cheek pieces on either side. Decepticharge's red eyes have been
repainted Autobot Blue, and the brow piece, bare yellow on
Decepticharge, has been repainted black, to look even more like the
original Windcharger's eye piece.
