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.
