Bounce

Bounce is a Cyclone Mini-Con from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.

The only Cybertronian villain we get and it's this guy.

The Mini-Con Cyclone Bounce delights in petty vandalism, property damage, and generally making a mess of things. This simple-minded focus on destruction is about as deep as he gets; he's not particularly bright, but his spherical alternate mode is fast enough to make a speedy getaway when the law is closing in.

Fiction

Rescue Bots cartoon

Voice actor: Steve Blum (English)

Bounce was a captive aboard the Alchemor, who was freed when the ship crashed on Earth. After being captured by Sideswipe, he managed to escape through the GroundBridge and landed up on Griffin Rock, where he immediately began adding graffiti everywhere. Pursued by Blurr, he managed to get away when Sideswipe caught up with them and fought Blurr instead of recapturing the Mini-Con. Once the rescue team had a plan, Blurr and Sideswipe again pursued Bounce, but he proved too fast for them and lost them by entering the town's sewer system. He was flushed out by Cody Burns and Servo, allowing Sideswipe and Blurr to drive him into a trap set by the rest of the team. Sideswipe returned home with Bounce safely trapped in a net.

Notes

• Bounce is the first Cybertronian antagonist in the Rescue Bots cartoon.
• Bounce shares a body-type with Backtrack and Ransack.
• Though Cyclones are initially unaligned, many are shown allying with the Decepticons in the Robots in Disguise cartoon. To that end, Bounce could also possibly be the first Decepticon featured in the series, despite having never been referred to as such.
