Searchlight Vehicle mode/He is a very nice looking Dual Rotor Helicopter,lots of detail in this mode,only kibble again are the PCC Connector points but none of the arms ,legs or head are visible.It is pretty much the same size as the other Pcc commanders.THe Blue and Grey colour scheme works very well here.IMHO the best vehicle mode of the 3 commanders i have.Backlight in searchlight mode connects on under the front and it looks quite nice.
Searchlight Robot Mode/After a very unique and complicated for a scout Transformation you get to Robot mode and it is Just as good if not better than vehicle mode.All the articulation you need ball jointed head ,Could use an ankle in the legs but its not that bad,full in the arm,No waist .But he is very poseable.Easy to make him stand.The Rotors on the forearm are removable but look great left there and taken off.Nice headsculpt.Only bad point is the pcc connectors just stick up out the back.Backwind can be held in either hand in gun modeA tie with Bombshock for best pcc robot.
Backwind/The first mini-con i have had since Armada and i prefered most of the armada mini cons to this guy.He has 4 modes but most of them are just point his arms this way and leg this way.THe robot mode and vehicle mode weapon are the best modes the Combiner Armor is nice but not great and the Gun mode just looks nothing like a gun.I love his translucent green plastic.By the looks of the other 2 mini-cons in wave 1 this guy looks like the worst.That said he is not horrible just OK.He can also attach to any mini-con ports on any drone .
Searchlight Torso Mode/This is the best part of this figure.A very cool combiner head reveal and the most articulated of the commanders i have.The head is very cool looking.And for some reason the rotors in the shoulders i think is genius.Everything is very tight nothing that falls off or is annoying.Backwind armor looks decent on him i prefer to leave it off.Slightly smaller than the other 2 commanders but that doesnt affect him badly.Best Torso so far.
Searchlight Combined/He looks much better than Skyburst with the Aerialbots,the combaticons forsome reason work well.THe added articulationof the torso make him a better combiner than the others.
