Nobody seems able to agree on what '''Back'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> name is. You could probably say that they go back and forth on it.


'''Back''' is a [[Mini-Con]] who shouldn't be confused with [[Forth]].

Back is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family. He is also, confusingly enough, known as Forth.

Nobody seems able to agree on what Back's name is. You could probably say that they go back and forth on it.

  • Decepticon Back / Decepticon Forth (Mini-Con, 2015)
Back/"Forth" (see below) was released as part of wave 3 of the Robots in Disguise toy line's general retail Mini-Con assortment. He is a "Cyclone"-type Mini-Con that transforms from a four-legged creature with stubby arms into a spherical object that can be launched by Mini-Con Deployers Overload or Crazybolt. He also includes various accessory pieces that are still on their plastic sprue (which is shaped like a Decepticon insignia) inside the packaging. The accessories can be attached to the figure to form a set of armor.
This figure was redecoed into Volcano.
  • Decepticon Hunter Grimlock vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Back (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)
Back is a redeco of his original figure with most of the purple and green swapped. Back was only available as part of a "Battle Pack" with Decepticon Hunter Grimlock.

Notes

  • Prior to the toy's release, there was quite a bit of confusion regarding single-packed Back's name. Some online retailers initially solicited the figure under the names "Decepticon Backfire" or "Kickback". Whilst the figure was subsequently named as just "Decepticon Back" in official Hasbro solicitations, stock photos of the toy in packaging and in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, further confusion arose when the figure's North American packaging sported the name "Decepticon Forth". Instances of the figure from elsewhere, including Hong Kong and Europe, still sport the "Back" name. With the Robots in Disguise cartoon having presented Forth as a very different-looking character, this wiki treats Back's North American packaging as being in error.
