Backwind has grown to be my favorite of the PCC mini-cons so far. He has a very nice robot mode that makes him look bigger than what he is and the hooked hands he has actually let him hang from things like you would expect one to. I also think he makes the most convincing breastplate so far too, but that isn't saying a whole lot.
I think Hasbro got the names for Searchlight and Backwind backwards, though. Shouldn't the guy that turns into a, well, searchlight be named Searchlight while the captor is called Backwind? Other than that, My only real qualm with the mini-cons is how they are done in translucent plastic. Don't get me wrong I think it looks cool but a lot of molded detail is lost in these little guys. It took me awhile to notice that Backwind actually has a chain gun mounted on his right arm. He is one hardcore monkey!
Seriously, with some purple paint, Backwind would make a perfect Beastbox! The guy's an ape and interrogator and Backwind is ape-like who's alt mode is a hanging lamp - it's perfect!
