| :''Backtrack is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''
| | #redirect [[Backtrack (disambiguation)]] |
| | |
| '''Backtrack''' is a speed demon on the field, and a shameless liar in his personal dealings. He makes empty promises that he has no intentions of keeping, goes back on his word at the first chance, and makes no excuses or apologies for his behavior. This makes him highly unpopular with other Mini-Cons and the [[Autobot]]s, but his skills as a recon soldier make him very valuable, much to his teammates’ chagrin. Still, maybe [[Spiral]] can beat him into line.

| Spiral and the rest of the Street Speed Team were among the Mini-Cons who lived on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], until [[Dualor]] brought the Earth-based Mini-Cons there, whoch also brought the [[Decepticon]]s. Spiral and the others escaped in a rocket-pod that crashed in north Alaska, leaving them deactivated. Ultimately the Autobots were successful in retrieving the pod.

| | |
| Spiral returned to Cybertron and helped [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] activate the [[Mini-Con Matrix]], which dealt a critical blow to [[Unicron]].

| ===Cybertron toy bios===
| |
| The Street Speed Team were sent to [[Velocitron]] as advance scouts for the Autobots. The planet's mass of winding high-speed tracks really appealed to them, to the point where they started having a hard time tearing themselves from the road to get their missions underway.

| *'''Street Speed Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)
| |
| :''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-06'''
| |
| | |
| : Backtrack transforms into a Cadillac XLR luxury car, available only in a three-pack with [[Oval]] and [[Spiral]]. Like his fellow [[Street Speed Team Mini-Con Team]] members, his car mode wheels are designed to allow for much faster rolling on smooth surfaces.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was also used to make [[Redline]], and ''Armada'' [[Side Burn (Armada)|Side Burn]]. It was planned to be used for ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Override (Energon)|Override]] and packed with [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]], but that release was changed late in the production run and given a different Mini-Con Team.

| | |
| *'''Auto Overdrive Edition''' (Mini-Con, 2003)
| |
| | |
| : Individual members of the "Overdrive Edition" [[redeco]] of the Team were given away at the 17-day Japanese "World Hobby Fair" in January/February. In April, they were also available as random giveaways at Ito Yokaido stores with the purchase of any ''Micron Legend'' product.

| |
| | |
| : A [[retool]]ing of the first Backtrack mold, he transforms into a modified Cadillac XLR.
| |
| | |
| : This version of the mold was used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Dice]].
| |
| | |
| ===Unreleased===
| |
| A gray-and-white redeco of Backtrack was planned to be released as part of a “refresh” version of the Street Speed Team in ''Armada''. The coloration of the Team was a “one-off” of the Takara Overdrive Edition version, with each toy’s main color shifted over to another one.

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * For whatever reason, the Street Speed Team is the only ''Armada'' Mini-Con Team to not have an [[X-Dimension]] release.
| |
| | |
| * The Japanese ''Galaxy Force'' version of the Street Speed Team is one of the very few mass-retail "new"-mold Japanese Transformers toys to not show up in the accompanying cartoon.
| |
| | |
| * The ''Cybertron''carback has Backtrack and Oval's names swapped around.
