Toys

Universe (2008)

  • Mini-Con Class 12 Pack (K-mart exclusive, 2008)
    • Series: Armada Series
Backstop is a redeco of Classics Sledge, transforming into a combination payloader/backhoe. He was only available in a 12-pack with Blight, Brimstone, Bodyblock, Boltflash, Cloudraker, Flatfoot, Heavytread, Knockdown, Makeshift, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.
This mold was also used to make Rockblade, Mighty Bull and Pan-Handler.


  • Backstop (Mini-Con, 2010)
In the UK, all twelve Mini-Cons from the original "Mini-Con Class 12 Pack" set were released in individual blind-packed bags with "energon fizzy sweets" candies, distributed by The Little Factory Ltd. This version of Backstop is actually a new tooling with numerous tiny differences from the original (and generally less crisp molding), but is functionally the same toy.
