| The name or term "Backstop" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Backstop (disambiguation). |
- Backstop is an Autobot or Maximal from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).
Back in the day, Backstop was a championship wrestler. Those were the days. Just grappling for sport, entertaining the planet with his physical strength and strategic thinking, machine against machine. The war upended all that, though, and now Backstop uses his muscle to help protect Autobot installations. When he sets his feet, he's just about unmovable. And he's smart enough to see through Decepticon trickery, making him one tough bot to get past.[1]

- Transformers Backstop is a redeco of the Cybertron Backstop mold, transforming into a robotic rhinoceros. In both rhino and robot modes, plugging a Cyber Key into the back of his beast-head extends his spring-loaded "ramming robo-horn". He comes with a clear-blue, silver-bordered Jungle Planet-style Cyber Key, simply referred to as a "key" on his cardback.
- He was available at Big Lots! stores in the United States, Maxi&Cie/Superstore and Winners in Canada, and Toys"R"Us stores in the UK. In all instances he was available alongside Undermine and Wreckloose. Oddly, he is the only one of the three to get an entirely new deco; Wreckloose's deco changes were negligible at best and Undermine went completely unchanged.
Notes
[edit]- Just where Backstop, Undermine, and Wreckloose "fit", dimensionally, was up for debate. Their bios pretty clearly make them out to be separate characters from their Cybertron namesakes while—with typical 2010-on vagueness—offering no insights into what universe they're "supposed" to go in. The packaging also does not help place them, being red-colored like the Generations toyline, but lacking any other series identifier. As such, this wiki placed them under the umbrella "2010" line just for ease of organization until the 2015 story, "Head Games", made them Beast Wars characters in the Generation 1 continuity family.
