 (CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px])

Rewind (IDW version)
of Lower Petrohex was extremely old: he could remember when Cybertron switched to the New Calendar, and he predated the rise of the Functionists and their Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy. Within the new caste structure the Functionists imposed upon Cybertronian society, Rewind's memory stick alternate mode saw him labelled as a member of the Disposable class, who were little better than slaves.

Fortunately, Rewind was lucky enough to wind up working as a data receptacle for Dominus Ambus, who treated him with respect and eventually became his friend, and then more, even fighting for civil rights for the Disposable class. Seeking a cure for the disease Cybercrosis, Dominus departed Cybertron to search for Luna 1, and Rewind accompanied him; their quest ended in failure, and when they returned to their homeworld, they discovered a civil war had broken out in their absence. Rewind joined the Autobot faction, but the war soon became a distant second concern for him when Dominus mysteriously disappeared.

Rewind began a lifelong search for his friend, but when no sign that he still lived could be found, the archivist eventually started investigating the Relinquishment Clinics, thinking that his friend may have committed suicide, and that he could at least gain some measure of peace by learning his fate.

It was while visiting such a clinic, where he was confronted with failure yet again, that Rewind was approached by Chromedome, another Autobot waiting to die who had found something inside himself touched by Rewind's anguish. Together, the pair gave each other a reason to live and began a relationship that lasted for millions of years, but Rewind never stopped searching for Dominus...

PDA mode. UI background is a classic cassette design along with several app icons.

Side of the PDA.

Back of the PDA, can see the chest plate of Rewind.

Another side of the PDA. The rifle can store in the slot on light grey area, which form the arm. (Need to be careful on this, remember to remove the rifle before transform)

Bottom, there is an earphone jack under it.

Top of the PDA.

Open up the cover for changing batteries?

The rifle can be antenna?

Another peg hole to put on the rifle for antenna.

Almost 3 inches tall.

Real earphone jack hole.

Third alt mode tank mode.

Front. A tank that look like a box.

Side of the tank.

Back.

There is several pegs on the tank for Headmasters.

Robot mode 360 GIF. 

 Close up on the face. The eyes printing is tilted, damn't, maybe will cover it in red paint in future, look more like in comics style.

 Head can turn 360.

 Also with forward/backward movement.

 Arms articulations is better than nothing.

 Legs articulate quite well.

A small little rifle for Rewind's weapon.

It is the cannon barrel of tank mode.

There is a peg hole on right hand for weapons, the little rifle can attach on it.

 Nightbeat 360 GIF.

 Comparing to other Headmasters.

On Tankette. Can't really stuck Nightbeat's legs in to the pegs on Tankette, kind of offset.

Be supportive, being a gunner to help Ros.

Nightbeat 'head-on' with Hardhead body. (what an expression, weird)

Grumpy ol' Nightbeat!

Rewind and Nightbeat.

 Headmaster/Titan Retuns series.

 Comparing to Legend class Bumblebee.

 New recruit of my 'Lost Light' crew member.

"Skids, I am recording message for our crews, this is maybe our last chance to say anything." Rewind.
 "Last words? I don't really remember anything about my past. I guess I would leave it to other gentlemen..?" Skids.
The crew members decided to send a distress call back to Cybertron, along with last words and will... (IDW Comics Transformers MTMTE #50)

 "Swerve, anything?" Rewind.
"Oh yeah, if I gonna make it back to Cybertron, I want to open a bar on... And contact Blurr, blah-blah-blah, blah...." Swerve.

"Captain?" Rewind.
"As the captain of The Lost Light, I will fight till the end of our life...!" Rodimus.

"Any last message to Cybertron?" Rewind.
"No, I don't want to die yet..." Tailgate. "Relax, Tailgate..." Cyclonus.

"Dominus, if you can see this message, I want you to know I never stop searching for you, and..."
(Spoiler alert!: well, they didn't all die, some of them make it... Curious about the ending? Go get IDW Comics Transformers : More Than Meets The Eye!)
