Please mind my deadly arm-mounted rotors while I'm pulling you to safety.But seriously i am not Ransack (Cybertron)Jerk seriously!

Searchlight is renowned for his matchless search-and-rescue abilities. When he's teamed up with his Mini-Con, Backwind, the amount of time that he operates at full effectiveness increases dramatically, making him an invaluable asset to any rescue mission.

Power Core Combiners

• Searchlight with Backwind (Commander Class, 2010)
  • Accessories: 3-blade and 4-blade rotors

Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Searchlight is a Scout-size twin-rescue helicopter who transforms into a robot. Searchlight can swap between his normal head and a larger head so that he can also serve as a torso for Power Core Combiner drone-limbs. His chestplate has a flip-up Mini-Con Powerlinx peg that allows him to use any Mini-Con as chest armor, though the nominal choice is his pack-in partner Backwind. Searchlight's left elbow is misassembled, universally being installed backwards (the angled part should face forward to put it in exact position for helicopter mode). Fortunately, this doesn't really affect much of anything and is also pretty easily fixed if one feels so compelled.

This mold was also used to make Windburn.

During the period between 26 December 2010 and 31 January 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was "Transformers Combiners & Speed Stars Mini Vehicle". According to this discussion thread on Allspark.com, Searchlight with Backwind was one of the figures distributed.
