Fictional biography
The being known as Backdraft came into this universe during the rise of the Great War. His entire life was a crucible of endless battles, forging him into the powerhouse that he is. Entrusted with the role of sentry on a small but strategically important world, instead of an enemy to fight he found a world of small, soft creatures that needed his protection. Choosing a form that suited his massive bulk, Backdraft spends his hours tirelessly aiding the indigenous species, waiting for the day he will be called to defend them with weapon instead of water.
Development
Backdraft was first revealed under the name Vulcan.
Sculpting for Vulcan was done by Jesslyn Makes Robots.[1]
A prototype for Vulcan was displayed at TFcon USA in October 2015.
Vulcan's name was changed to Backdraft in November 2015 so as to not cause confusion with Maketoys's Vulcan and Planet X's Vulcan.[2]
Mastermind Creations posted the first pictures of Backdraft online in February 2016. It went up for preorder later that month with a release expected in April.
