Backblast
Backblast is a Decepticon-aligned Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
To call Backblast a single-minded engine of destruction would be giving him too much credit in the brains department. Sharp as a bowl of wet glitch-mice, he is the muscle of the Deep Space Mini-Con Team, pointed in the right direction and told "go for it". Well, he wouldn't understand what that means, so he'd be told, very specifically, "Shoot and punch any other Mini-Cons who are not us."
From that point on, his partners Blastcharge and Scrap Iron go off to do the more precise work, coming back to tell Blastcharge it's time to stop fighting, because he won't stop until he's told.
Backblast's strength is impressive for a Mini-Con, and makes up a large portion of the punch of the Team's combined form, the Umbral Blaster.
