Fiction

Shattered Glass

Fallback was one of Side Burn's victims. He was kidnapped and dissected to product parts for Side Burn's experiments with bio-mechanical Transhumans. His body was eventually found by Rodimus and the Autobots when Side Burn's true purpose was uncovered. Coalescence

Toys

Transformers

• Outback (Mini Vehicle, 1987)

The Mexican version of Generation 1 Outback was repurposed as Shattered Glass Fallback.

In the Mexican Transformers line produced by IGA, Outback was probably released as a straight redeco of Brawn, sold on Outback cards. He was cast in sand with metallic-maroon robot parts, which is pretty close to the Hasbro/Takara Outback colors. Unlike most of the second-series IGA Mini Vehicles, he does not appear to have been sold in a second color scheme (at least, that we know of so far).

We say "probably" because while IGA appears to have done this old-mold-new-colors-sold-as-new-character move with all of the third-year retooled Mini Vehicles, so far Tailgate and Swerve are the only ones that have been confirmed with carded samples. All of the IGA versions of probably-Hubcap, Outback, and Pipes have only been found loose. So it's highly likely, we just don't have the final confirmation yet. Fun!

IGA Transformers also eventually made their way to a variety of European markets, slightly decreasing their rarity.

Notes

• Fallback was not physically described in the story, but Jesse Wittenrich later clarified his design intent on Twitter.
• Generation 1 Outback is one of a few positive characters to be represented by more than one negative character, in this case Shattered Glass Outback and Fallback.
