Kickflip is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Gleefully flipping you off.

Before the experimental combiner process she and her teammates in the Extreme Competition Team underwent, Kickflip was a dedicated soldier. Now, she's more concerned with herself than saving lives. Extremely bratty, the only one able to keep her in line is Mudbath, and even then, she'll go back to doing whatever she wants.

Along with Mudbath and Breakage, she combines to form Heavy Metal.
