Kickflip

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. 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.

A redeco of the Energon Perceptor component Grindor, Filter transforms into a Cybertronic hovercraft. It was available only in the third Micron Booster assortment, in a blind-packed, individual box. It forms the legs of the combined robot Frenzy.

The same mold is used by Screw.

Notes

• As "Filter", Kickflip was originally released in Japan with no bio info whatsoever. The American name "Kickflip", and her bio, were created by the Transformers Collectors' Club, published on March 16, 2007. Despite the different names, they are the same character.
• Because her Japanese counterpart has no bio at all—and thus no gender either—she is not a gender-switch character. She simply had no established gender until her fan club bio was published.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Filter (フィルター Firutā)
