Read more about Breakdown (Prime) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hasbro Breakdown is the name of several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Sometimes spelled Brakedown for trademark purposes, Breakdown is a name usually applied to a blue Decepticon with a red face who turns into a car or monster truck-type vehicle, and is usually a member of the Stunticons. Breakdown, a Lamborghini Countach, was one of the Stunticons in Transformers G1 and formed one of the limbs. Breakdown has a version of paranoia and this affects him in his work. He is a vain Decepticon who thinks everyone looks at him. He despises traffic jams and would prefer to be a human so he could fit better; a strange trait for a Decepticon. His engine emits vibrations in car mode that cause mechanical failures in other devices. His Tech Spec bio says that he is prone to leaky fuel pump. Breakdown traditionally forms the right leg of the Stunticon Combiner Menasor, but like all 'Scramble City' style combiner limbs, he can form any limb of any such combiner, or combine with Metroplex. Breakdown first appears in the two-part episode "The Key To Vector Sigma". Like the other Stunticon, he is created after Megatron commissions Rumble to find him some vehicles to be turned into Decepticon warriors, in order to more effectively battle the Autobot on the roads. Megatron modifies the cars so they can transform into remote-controlled robots, and then takes them to Vector Sigma so they can be given personalities of their own. He returns to Earth with the other Stunticons and engages in the destruction of a military base, before being called on to form Menasor to battle the new Autobots, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots combine into Superion, but Menasor is winning until a rebuilt Omega Supreme arrived and defeats him.
Breakdown (Prime) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
