Fall of Cybertron Kickback was repurposed as Generation 1 Kickback by Transformers Legends.
Part of the third wave of 2012 Generations Deluxe Class toys, Fall of Cybertron Kickback transforms into a Cybertronian insect. His wings are attached in insect mode via C joint, and can be removed and used as ”battle blades” that are held by his hands via 5mm post. He also comes with a disc launcher that fires its disc via pressure-launch, and is based on the Gear Shredder from Fall of Cybertron. The wing-blades can peg into any of the launcher’s four 5mm ports, although the instructions nominally peg them on the front sides, making the launcher look a bit like a crossbow. Aside from his hands, Kickback features additional 5mm ports for mounting, such as on his thighs, legs, and clawed appendages.In an undocumented feature, the launcher can mount/store on his back in either mode by sliding it into grooves found on top of each of the clawed appendages that hold his wing-blades, and pegging the wing-blades in this configuration while in robot mode will give him a spiffy winged backpack. His instructions also forget to mention that his gold-and-purple chest panels have to be angled up for robot mode.The TakaraTomy version, part of the third wave of Japanese Generations toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his purple plastic in a darker, metallic shade, having much darker gray and black plastics, replacing his gold paint with pale yellow, and featuring numerous additional paint details, among other deco changes. This version’s instructions not only remember to angle up the chest panels, they also include an additional note showing how to store the launcher on his wings/clawed appendages.
