Back is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family. He is also, confusingly enough, known as Forth.

Back is blessed with the ability to magnetically attract metal. Naturally, he puts this gift to use by battering Autobots and generally making a mess. And he can do both those things even better once you bring the magnetic repulsion powers of his fellow Cyclone, Forth, into the mix.

Sometimes he likes to steal Forth's name.

Toys

Robots in Disguise

  • Decepticon Back / Decepticon Forth (Mini-Con, 2015)
    • Accessories: Armor/weapon sprue
Back/"Forth" (see below) was released as part of wave 3 of the 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 Mini-Con Deployers Overload or 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 Volcano.

  • Decepticon Hunter Grimlock vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Back (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)
Back is a redeco of his original figure with most of the purple and green swapped, part of a "Battle Pack" with Decepticon Hunter Grimlock. He does not include the sprue of clear plastic accessories from his single-packed release.


Notes

  • Prior to the toy's release, there was quite a bit of confusion regarding single-packed Back's name. Some online retailers initially solicited the figure under the names "Decepticon Backfire" or "Kickback". Whilst the figure was subsequently named as just "Decepticon Back" in official Hasbro solicitations, stock photos of the toy in packaging and in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, further confusion arose when the figure's North American packaging sported the name "Decepticon Forth". Instances of the figure from elsewhere, including Hong Kong and Europe, still sport the "Back" name. With the Robots in Disguise cartoon having presented Forth as a very different-looking character, this wiki treats Back's North American packaging as being in error.
