Fallback has spent a long, long time roaming alien worlds. Back before the war, it was to scout out potential new Cybertronian colony worlds. Now, it's to scout out planets of strategic importance to the Autobots; determining their usable natural resources and how to best utilize the environment to defend said resources from the Decepticons.^[1]

Part of the fourth assortment of Prime Cyberverse Legion-class toys, Fallback is a redeco of Breakdown, transforming into an armored truck. He comes with a clear-plastic cannon (the same sculpt also used by Breakdown) that uses c-joint-compatible 3mm pegs and holes, enabling it to combine with other weapons and Cyberverse accessories.

This sculpt was also redecoed into The Last Knight Berserker.
