Kickback (Armada)

The name or term Kickback refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Kickback (disambiguation).

Kickback is a Mini-Con from the video game version of the Unicron Trilogy.

It's really a crime that there aren't "Bombshell" and "Shrapnel" Mini-Cons to go with this guy...

Kickback is one of many power-enhancing Mini-Cons scattered across Earth. A member of the Green Mini-Con Team, when Powerlinxed to a larger Transformer, Kickback generates a force field with a bubble shape that deflects every form of attack, even reflecting some of the attacks' force back onto close by opponents (Usually being reflected to the sky if the opponents are not getting closer). This power, however, is draining and quite temporary before he needs to recharge.

Kickback is an excellent debt collector - if you owe him something. He never does anything unless he's guaranteed something in return, so you'd better make sure you can pay up, or he'll follow you to the bitter end to get what's his. In his defense, at least he never welches on a deal...
