Backlash is Alpha Tank #1 and they share a handler, so they will definitely know each other. He's a solid team member who is maybe a little accident prone, but can you blame a man for liking to get his hands dirty? They should have sparring matches in Inferno (the danger room thing) and keep a running tally of wins/losses, sort of a friendly competition over who the better tank is? Frameshift can be winning!
