Wonder if it'll be a proper G1 Throttlebot homage?
Nah...

Caliburst = Mini-Con Caliburn homage?

Smolder = (you got me - any guesses?)
Chopster = ?
Searchlight = Throttlebot Searchlight homage? (seems unlikely)

Backwind = ? (maybe a Mini-Con Backtrack homage?)

Despite the faction shift, Caliburst may well be a homage to...Caliburst.

Out of everybody in the Hasbro offices, nobody thought to say "do you mean, like a fart?".
Erector and Discharge, you have a new best friend. Oh, that came out wrong.
(And, yes, I know what "backwind" means, but what kid is going to think of that rather than "fart"?)

LOL, my bad. I don't remember Caliburst. I just went to TFU.com and pulled up a list of all the figures that began with C, and saw Caliburn and noticed the resemblance.
As for the name "Backwind", I was thinking "Is that what happens when you pull the ring on that new Bumblebee figure? He emits Backwind?"

Liking the names, liking the mini-cons, can't wait for the Pokeformer shenanigans to begin.

You've spent the last 15 years of the Transformers cave. Don't worry, you won't understand!

Right now the relationship between the five-figure-sets and the bulk-and-Mincon sets is unknown. One thing that is known is that the minicon can seemingly form a weapon or armour for the larger figure.
