"Ok, let's call the Mini-Con Searchlight and the helicopter... Backwind?"
"Backwind, that's a silly name. Why not name the Mini-Con that since they all seem to have silly names now?"
"Eureka!"

If your referring to the green guy CP, you should have named him Battery, then it could be Searchlight and Battery!

CP, you always crack me up man, your posts and replies get better and better! :lol:

I heard this as well, so we would not be all over them for this new name for a Transformer being about breaking wind.

Personally, I can't wait for some PCC comics

Searchlight-"Backwind, help me cut through the air!"

Backwind-"Don't worry, I'll be right under your nose!"


...*snrk* BWahahahahaHA




But really I will buy him.

I just can't pass Backwind.
