I'm more concerned with the fact that a robot is named "Backwind."

Better than being called Windbreaker.

I came in here thinking there was going to be praise for these lovely little guys. You disappoint.

"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!"

It's "wind" like "wind a watch", not "wind" like "blowing wind". Stupid heteronyms.

Unfortunately, not, according to Hasbro.

I renamed Backwind.
His name is now "Shoe".

Were you in the same panel as me?
They went to pains to point out it's the long 'i' pronunciation.

I don't always get where you're going with something but I usually end up laughing one way or another. So? Shoe, it is. God, I freaking love that little green dude!

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!

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.
