Windcharger is one of those Transformers characters who perhaps doesn't get quite as much attention as some of his fellow Autobots.
First appearing in the 1984 Transformers cartoon, he was one of the Autobot Mini-Vehicles and, like many characters from that era, made sporadic appearances throughout the first and second seasons before disappearing into the wider Transformers universe.
Fans Toys FT-63 Turbo takes that familiar G1 design and gives it a rather substantial modern makeover. The result is a figure that retains the character's distinctive appearance while introducing the sort of engineering, articulation and attention to detail that would have been rather difficult to imagine when the original toy was released.
There's certainly plenty to admire here, and with a modest range of articulation, I was looking forward to seeing what Turbo could do in front of the camera.
With the video now available, it's time to give the photography its own little space.
As the format of What's New in the Vault has changed, the full photographic galleries that once appeared at the end of the videos now live here on the Vaults of Iacon website instead. So, below you'll find an extensive selection of photographs of Fans Toys Turbo, covering the figure, accessories and some of the finer details of the release.
If you'd like to see my thoughts on the figure itself, I'll embed the What's New in the Vault Spotlight episode at the end of the gallery.
And, if you've got thoughts of your own, feel free to leave a comment below. Whether it's Fans Toys FT-63 Turbo, the photography or simply a memory that the figure brings back, it's always nice to hear from those wandering around the Vault with me.
