Nobody seems able to agree on what '''Forth'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> name is. You could probably say that they go back and forth on it.
==Games==
'''Forth''' is a [[Mini-Con]] who shouldn't be confused with [[Back]].

*'''Decepticon Forth''' or '''Decepticon Back''' (Mini-Con, 2015)
:Forth/"Back" was released as part of [[wave]] 3 of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|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 [[Deployer (WFC)#Mini-Con Deployers|Mini-Con Deployers]] [[Overload (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Overload]] or [[Crazybolt (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|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 [[Back|Decepticon Back]] (who doesn't have an alternate name) and [[Volcano (Adventure)|Volcano]].
==Notes==
==Notes==
*Prior to the toy's release, there has been quite a bit of confusion regarding Forth's name. As a matter of 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 photography|stock photo]]s of the toy in packaging and even in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''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 "[[Back|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.
*For reasons unknown, the North American packaging of Back's single-packed toy labels him as Forth, which led to a whole heap of confusion between the characters until their [[Impounded|cartoon debut]].
*To make matters even more confusing, some online retailers initially solicted the figure under the names "Decepticon [[Backfire (disambiguation)|Backfire]]" or "[[Kickback (disambiguation)|Kickback]]".
