Rewind is an evil Autobot from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

Voted "Most Likely To Be Scanned By An Enigmatic Sun Being."

Rewind is a renowned tracker and trainer of Cybertronic wildlife, such as his partner Ramhorn. Blaster hired the quiet hunter in order to be able to counter Sir Soundwave's menagerie of Recordicons, but Rewind is more interested in the fauna of Earth. Rewind's right rifle hypnotizes and stuns wild creatures, while his left rifle can melt together the components of their metal bodies.

Fiction

Shattered Glass

One more thing—one last thing—because I don't say it enough: I hate you.

When Blaster was marooned on Earth's moon, Rewind was trapped there as well. They eventually hitched a ride back to Earth in Solarbot's ship and sought revenge on Soundwave. Rewind got into a struggle with Batbot until Blaster ordered a retreat. Solar Requiem

At some point after the incident with the Underbase, Rewind stole Demolishor's Robot Master technology and used it to resuscitate Chromedome. Coalescence

During the assault on Decepticon City, Rewind and Chromedome were wrangling Weirdwolf when they heard the shots that ended the struggle between Optimus and Galvatron for good. The Autobots retreated aboard Sky Lynx after their leader's fall. Restoration When their ride announced they'd have to lighten their load, Rodimus promptly dumped Optimus Prime out the nearest hatch. Rewind gave a shrug when Rodimus asked if there were any objections to him being the new leader. Familiar Reflections

Back on Cybertron, Rodimus's rule was brief as Optimus returned as the newly enlightened Nova Prime. Rewind and his comrades were struck down fighting Nova's Autotroopers. Out of the One, Many As they were being rounded up, though, Cybertron turned against its inhabitants. While Primus changed to robot mode, Rodimus encouraged his troops to get to the ships, and Rewind presumably escaped to fight another day. The Future Buried...

Does this mean Eject would be purple like G2 Frenzy?

• SG Soundwave vs. SG Blaster

Rewind is a redeco of the Rewind/Eject cassette mold, now in the colors of the unreleased Generation 2 Go-Bot Rumble. Provided stickers complete the homage, giving him leg details that resemble the sculpted detail of the G2 Frenzy toy as well as a "Vinny's Motors" sticker which is applied to Rewind's back.

This mold was also redecoed to make Flip Sides, Rosanna, and Solarbot.
