KICKBACK isn't always the most charming Decepticon you'll meet, but he does what he can to get the job done. A usually loyal, trustworthy guy, it kills him when he has to burn a contact, even when it's for a good cause. Kickback would prefer to persuade an enemy to the rightness of the Decepticon cause than lie or manipulate them, but when lives are at stake he's willing to resort to more underhanded methods. Humans are largely immune to his manipulative talents, due to his alien form, and he sometimes gets frustrated by the fear he causes in most Earthlings he meets. The only time Kickback enjoys recruiting double agents is when he feels he's convinced them that they're truly doing the right thing.
