Prior to the toy's release, there has been quite a bit of confusion regarding Forth's name. In fact, it would appear that Hasbro had initially intended for the figure to be named "Decepticon Back", and made the decision to change its name to "Decepticon Forth" at the last possible minute—so late, in fact, that the name "Decepticon Back" still appeared on the packaging of the figure when released in Hong Kong. The name "Back" also appears in official Hasbro solicitations, stock photos of the toy in packaging and even in the Robots in Disguise mobile game. Conversely, the name "Decepticon Forth" currently only appears on the packaging of the figure when purchased from North American online retailers. Confusingly, Hasbro would soon afterwards release a redeco of the figure actually sporting the name "Decepticon Back" on its packaging when purchased at North American retail. For the sake of convenience, we consider "Back" and "Forth" as two separate characters, and treat all instances of the name "Back" for the "Forth" character as errors.
To make matters even more confusing, some online retailers initially solicted the figure under the names "Decepticon Backfire" or "Kickback".
