- Backwind is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Power Core Combiners series.
Backwind works alongside the Autobot Power Core Commander Searchlight. Backwind, like many Power Core Mini-Cons, is very versatile and useful. He can transform from a tiny robot into armor or a cannon for Searchlight's robot mode, or a winch for Searchlight's vehicle mode.
Toys
Power Core Combiners
- Searchlight with Backwind (Commander Class, 2010)
- Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Backwind transforms form a small robot into a searchlight/winch, a hand-held cannon, or chest armor for any compatible Power Core Combiner super-mode torso. He was only available with his larger partner Searchlight. Due to the fact that he has a screwhole in his chest instead of the standard Powerlinx port, Backwind is capable of pegging onto any 5mm post. However, he is incapable of activating any Powerlinx gimmicks on previous Powerlinx compatible toys.
- Skyburst with Aerialbots (value pack, 2010)
- This Toys"R"Us-exclusive value pack includes Skyburst, Searchlight, the Aerialbot drones, and Backwind, all for the normal cost of the Skyburst 5-pack alone. All of the toys in this set are identical to their individual releases.
Notes
- Eric Siebenaler helpfully pointed out in a panel at BotCon 2010 that Backwind's name is pronounced like the "wind" in winding a rope, not "wind" as in a breeze.
