## Biography

### Fall of Cybertron

Fallback was cloned from Off-Road and Black Scourge and came out looking like Optimus Prime, which freaked out Knockout. He pledged allegiance to Megatron and watched as the rest of his team was created by Shockwave. He was ordered to hunt down Scattershot and was warned of the consequences by Megatron. Upon leaving, he asked Windblade what they're going to do and warned her that they would have to fight their way through an entire army if they are to reach Scattershot. When a plan to attack Iacon was initiated, Fallback joined his team to Iacon.

He entered Iacon through the sewers and was ordered by Windblade to find Scattershot as she fought Yoketron.He stopped Seaspray from killing Perceptor and ordered the Omnicons to return to Kaon after they failed to find Scattershot. When retreating, he informed Windblade that Scattershot was out fighting alongside the other Autobots.

At Kaon, he was left horrified when Megatron beaten Starscream. After Soundwave informed everyone of Scattershot's location, he was ordered to hunt down Scattershot again. He was escorted to a ship by Soundwave and was ordered to board by Windblade. He then flew out to Space with his team.

The chase for Scattershot led Fallback from Luna-1 to an Oceanic Planet, to a Musical Planet, to the Moon of Titan, and to Earth's Moon. He was jettisoned from the ship by meteorites and entered free fall. He crash landed in the Arctic Circle where he was entombed in suspended animation. *The Clone: Rise of the Omnibots Part 2*

### Earth, 1941/ World War II

Fallback was awakened in Japan, and was led to Scattershot by Hiro Nakadai, only to be entombed in suspended animation once again. *More Than Meets The Eye*

### Earthrise

84 years later on January 3, 2025, Fallback was eventually freed from the Icebox in Area 51 and began attacking American soldiers. He spotted Scattershot fleeing and informed Windblade. He then chased after Scattershot alongside Scamper, Armorhide, and Guzzle. He caught up to Scattershot, only to be overwhelmed and defeated by him, and given a choice to join the Autobots. He was then ordered to go into hiding by Scattershot.

A Day Later on January 4, Fallback was summoned by Scattershot, and made his way to Echo Base. There, Fallback was inaugurated into the Autobots by Optimus Prime, and became a member of the Omnibots. *The Rogue Autobot*He was recruited by Scattershot moments later, to rescue Bumblebee and Gears from Sector 7.

A Day Later on January 5, Fallback travelled to Hoover Dam, and caused Sector 7 technology to malfunction. After rescuing Bumblebee and Gears, Fallback returned to Echo Base. There, he was ordered by Optimus to head to The Ark.

On January 7, Fallback arrived at The Ark, only to watch in horror as Megatron attacked Scattershot and stole the AllSpark from him. *Sector Seven*Fallback travelled to Mission City without authorication and fired upon Vehicon forces. He then witnessed as Scattershot attempted to sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark, only to be saved by Optimus Prime. Fallback was then congratulated by Optimus for defending the City from the Decepticons. *Mission City*

A week Later on January 15, Fallback was placed as GroundBridge Technician under Scattershot's orders, and transported Scattershot to Venice, for him to scan a vehicular form. He then sent Windblade, Nightbeat, Smokescreen, & Tempest to Venice to back up Scattershot in fighting Lockdown's Army of Shadow Raiders. He then picked them up after they failed to save Scattershot. Later that Day, he joined his fellow Omnibots in rescuing Scattershot from Lockdown's Ship on the Moon. He didn't want to abandon his post, but entrusted it to the care of Wheeljack.

Fallback then travelled to the Moon, where he helped his fellow Omnibots look for Scattershot. He eventually found and freed him, before returning back to Sector 1 on Earth.

Back on Earth, Fallback joined his fellow Omnibots in confronting Megatron and Lockdown in Tokyo to stop them from detonating a Seed that Lockdown had brought with him. *Lockdown's Return*

Nearly a month later on February 9, Fallback joined his fellow Omnibots in heading to the outskirts of Spokane, Washington, only to lose the Killstone.

A couple of days later on February 11, Fallback travelled to The Ark, where he began to bond with a college student named Natalie alongside Road Rage. *Robots in Disguise*

On February 20, Fallback was assigned by Scattershot to upgrade Sector 1's GroundBridge into a SpaceBridge alongside Wheeljack. He was frustrated by failure to uprgade it, till he received some help from Bulkhead. He then informed Scattershot that the SpaceBridge was working. When Scattershot led a unit to terraform the surface of Mars into transformium, Fallback was made the Technician of the SpaceBridge. He then took Scattershot from Mars to Cybertron soon after. *The Transformium Agenda*

On March 2 in the Gimlin Facility, Fallback was asked by Kick-Off to open a GroundBridge back to Fort Max. He kept it open under Treadshot's and Elizabeth's commands. *Shattered Glass Part 2*

3 weeks later on March 23, Fallback watched as Scattershot rebuilt the newfound Autobot 'Havoc' and brought him back to life. *Once Upon a Time on Earth*
