Kickback (RID)
| The name or term "Kickback" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Kickback (disambiguation). |
- Kickback is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Kickback's sycophantic tendencies leave him open to being taken advantage of by more intelligent Decepticons who aren't afraid of using him as much of a pawn as he intends to use them.
After being imprisoned on the Alchemor and being set free on Earth, he's acquired a racecar mode. At the very least, it makes getting away when things start to go south much faster.

Kickback was one of the prisoners aboard the Alchemor when it crashed, freeing him from stasis. After escaping, he tried to join up with Steeljaw's gang, only for the other Decepticons to tie him up and use him as bait to lure the Autobots away from their scrapyard base. They freed him, prompting the toadying Kickback to ask if the Autobots needed a new sidekick. When they refused, Kickback used his side kick to escape his captors, whereupon he immediately transformed and fled. Lockout
Kickback encountered another group of Decepticons camped out in a crashed starsip. While scavenging items for his new team, he again encountered Steeljaw and unwittingly led his old master back to the ship. To add insult to injury, Scorponok and Glowstrike were less than appreciative of the junk he'd collected. Metal Meltdown
