Backtrack is a fictional character from the Transformers series.

Transformers: Armada

Fictional biography

Armada biography: The three vehicles in the Street Speed Mini-Con Team all have one thing in common: the ability to work with precision at record-breaking speeds. Their turbo-charged escape capabilities make them key elements in Autobot reconnaissance missions, and they gladly race to the front line in battles against the Decepticon forces!

Cybertron biography: The talent of the members of the Street Speed Mini-Con Team for working in tandem while racing at top speed across a battlefield or crowded city freeway has made them invaluable as spies and scouts for the Autobots. All three are in love with racing, and they sometimes disappear for weeks to compete in the Speed Planet rally circuit.
