Title:
Transformers G1 Kickback Insecticon
Description:
Kickback (Insecticon, 1985)
Takara ID number: 40
Accessories: ”Electrothermic Blast Tube”
Kickback is a redeco and slight retooling of the Diaclone Waruder Insecter Robo ”Battas” toy, transforming into a robotic grasshopper. As a Diaclone mold he has a ”pilot compartment” revealed by opening his clear-yellow chest, but on its own there’s not much you can do with it. His wings were given rounded-off tips for safety reasons.The mold has a couple of variations in the chromed-silver wings. Original versions only had a single rubsign indent, on the outer right-robot mode wing. Later versions not only added indents to all four faces of the wings (for symmetry, apparently, but still only one rubsign), but shortened the wings as well, for reasons unknown.In Japan, Kickback and the other Insecticons were ”re-released” as mail-order items from 1987 through 1988. They each cost 880 yen (their normal retail price) and two Robot Points.This mold was used to make the Shothole drones.
