Backtrack is an Autobot from the 2007 movie franchise portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Where I am, we have no roads.

Backtrack is a bike! An expert at tracking and reconnaissance, he won't rest until he finds his quarry, whether it's across the Earth or into outer space. A loner by nature, he prefers the silence of solitude to being around others. For this reason, he avoids big cities, travelling through remote back roads and small towns.

• Backtrack (Scout, 2009)
  • Accessories: Tailpipe/Blaster Rifle, Key

Part of the canceled fifth assortment of Target exclusive movie-series Scouts, Backtrack would have been a redeco of Cybertron Lugnutz, transforming into a motorcycle resembling a Harley-Davidson touring bike. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into his left saddlebag in either mode would have flipped up a portion of his right tailpipe to reveal a (non-firing) blaster and missile rack from his right saddlebag. His left tailpipe assembly would have become his rifle.

This mold was also used to make Hightail.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• Backtrack's license plate reads MR-37, which combined with the color scheme makes this a very pointed homage to the Guardian Go-Bot Night Ranger. The license plate itself was apparently issued in Kentucky, making Backtrack's color scheme also likely a University of Kentucky Wildcats nod.
