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

- Accessories: Tailpipe/Blaster Rifle, Key
- Part of the canceled[1] 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.
- Backtrack was also on the receiving end of two small changes from past versions of the figure. The first is that his head has been retooled so there is no built-in limit to how far it can swivel upwards, unlike past uses of the mold. The second is that the license plate now faces skyward instead of back and is glued in that position, despite being on a swivel like every other version.
- This mold was also used to make Hightail.

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