currently the only backdrop image on the wiki lol (Police Chase)

Documenting every Studio Series Backdrop display in one page. Buzzworthy Bumblebee included. Organized by media origin and listed in order of first appearance by SS number. All backdrops are artistic renditions of settings in the film, and usually aren't completely accurate to the actual film scenes they came from. Particularly notable inaccuracies will be mentioned.

Page style inspiration from Fire Blast effect page.
