I also remember that TFP Breakdown is pretty chill with the Vehicons. The scene where he was having a normal chat with a Vehicon about how he was somewhat attracted to Airachnid and the part where he praise the Vehicons for a good job.
"I know it's thankless down there, keep up the good job, yeah."
*-Breakdown to Fowler pretending to be a Vehicon*
I think he'd seen Megs kill enough of them for basic questions on Cybertron that he knows they need that little bit of encouragement and reinforcement
I like to imagine it was his friendship with Knockout that helped Breakdown out of being nervous and paranoid.
I'll go along with that. Breakdown always kept an eye on his smaller, more susceptible-to-damage best friend,
Knock Out, and would have put Knock Out's safety above any fears he had for himself. I have anxiety disorders, and while they never go away, I've found that I handle crises much better than my everyday life because I have others I need to focus on to make sure they're OK. Everyone's different - that's just my experience.
I know in one of the comics knockout had a signed photo of the stuntacons so was clearly a fan before they actually met. I could definitely see the cocky medic acting as the one positive relationship in knockouts life and helping him ignore the abuse motor master put him through that worsened his paranoia. Especially given motor master is out of the picture
Same, and I like the aspect of him having a friendship with Bumblebee in Earthspark, both sort of giving him a somewhat newfound form of confidence that helps him with his paranoid tendencies, but he's still a bit of an anxious coward at his core who struggles to stay out of trouble and being with the wrong crowd.
If I was to come up with an amalgamation of all his most famous traits and stories,
I'd write him as a bot who was very anxious and cowardly suffering from paranoia before the days of the war, however once he meets Bumblebee who helps him feel confident on the inside and Knockout who helps him to look good on the outside, he starts to get a sense of not everyone is out to get him, and starts feel better about himself.
Once the war starts, as Megatron wants to fight for a better Cybertron then loses his way to madness, however, Bee has the courage to break away from Megs and the Decepticons, but Knockout and Breakdown don't, leaving the 2 to fend for themselves most of the war. Knockout starts to show some regret of joining the Decepticons, as does Breakdown, but with KO admitting to him never having the best role models and with Breakdown's cowardice to change sides, even with KO wanting to runaway with him, they decide they'll stick it out together.
Where as BD's friendship with Bee all but vanished, BD and KO's friendship flourished as they work together in as partners in speed and style against the Autobots. KO would even offer to help bulk up Breakdown to give him strength, as well as speed, an experiment that balances between his future speed as a Stunticon and the bulk of his Prime variant, less of armored truck, but more of a muscle car/super car transformation, which does wonders for Breakdown's confidence in his toughest situation yet. The day he joins the Stunticons.
However once Breakdown and Knockout are forced apart, Breakdown chooses to joining the Stunticons, but staying because of abusive teammates (Especially Motormaster, for obvious reasons), goes through the Combiner process via Shockwave to become part of the motorcade of madness known as Menasor, Breakdown goes through his darkest days of his life, just wanting to avoid Motormaster and Megatron's gazes, fearfully hoping that someday the war will end, he can leave the Stunticons and the Decepticons forever, and maybe, just maybe, he can go back to just casually racing around Cybertron with his best buddies, Bee and KO.
I originally thought that new form gave him so more confidence, but it could be a combination of your idea and mine
@@elcactusdelamuerte506Maybe dead end was his brother 😂
It’s annoying that they killed off Breakdown in TF Prime considering they originally planned to give him a redemption arc & would’ve joined the Autobots, but because of the shows budget being slashed they couldn’t afford Adam Baldwin anymore.
But it did lead to one of the best episodes of TF Prime, the zombie outbreak on the Nemesis.
TF Prime was a cluster fudge looking back on it.
@@darrenheideman2546
It’s a miracle the show turned out as good as it is given all the BTS shakeups.
@@SmashBrosAssemble Even then, the Aligned Continuity was a mess.
Decepticon character arcs in Prime aren't so much ended as much as they are abruptly aborted or abandoned.
@@darrenheideman2546 Prime can only really be a standalone show, because all of the Aligned media that's meant to tie together in one continuity constantly contradicts each other. Even the comics contradicted themselves. If we only look at the Cybertron games and Prime for comparison, you have:
- Two extremely different personalities and designs for Soundwave.
- Megatron discovering Dark Energon in Prime despite already being exposed to it in War for Cybertron as a major plot point.
- Starscream being exiled from Decepticons after Megatron comes back in Fall of Cybertron, but somehow he's back on Megatron's side when Prime starts. Last we saw him he was also knocked out by Grimlock and didn't appear on the Decepticon ship when crossing the space bridge. So how did he make it to Earth?
“Before Transformers: Prime, I was a wimp! Now I’m a jerk and everyone loves me!”
No kidding he was friendly to the vehicons, loyal doctor's assistant, addressed commanders by title.
May he rest, slaggin squishy makin him a zombie
Is that from the wiki?
It sounds like it's from the wiki.
..... I remember him because his face is red.
Is that bad?
Nice SpongeBob Reference.
Prime Breakdown is one of my favorite characters in the show. I liked how he and Bulkhead had a sort of begrudging respect for each other while still wanting to destroy each other. It's a shame he was killed off so unceremoniously. And then they just couldn't let the poor guy rest in peace.
Very much agreed.
That’s what happens when shows are made to be as realistic as possible. Unfortunately those things would happen if they existed IRL. That also applies to Unicron raising Predacons from the dead instead of letting Shockwave make his army…
I wasn't aware he was voiced by a big-name actor. I'm curious if re-casting him was ever considered rather than just writing him off the show in a lackluster manner.
One of the many casualties of the absolute mess that is whatever went on behind the scenes of TF Prime throughout its run.
Exactly TFP breakdown character is the best version .... he don't deserve to die like the way they show us 🤦🤦🤦
I always liked how the desecration of Breakdown's corpse was one of only two things that genuinely pissed off Knockout. It still bugs me that they hinted at Breakdown possibly joining the Autobots, then killed him off, only for them to do the same damn thing with Dreadwing later on.
I liked how, despite his varying different designs, he kept design aspects like his blue head with his orange face and shoulder wheels so we knew who he'd be based on.
Plus, him being voiced by Adam Baldwin in TFP, who voice Green Lantern in Injustice 1 and Superman/evil Superman clone in Superman: Doomsday is pretty neat too.
Him and Roger Craig smith are my voice of breakdown
If you like Adam Baldwin you should see him in the live-action shows Firefly and Chuck. He’s great in both.
I still remember Bumblebee's saying "Breakdown, you reckless fool!" from Earthspark.
Still cant believe my country didnt air that episode on our local channel. They replace that episode with the first part of the finale.( that or they just air that episode by mistake. I dont know. I have to wait for two week to see prove of that...) that finale was a heavy spoiler to me as JB didnt get his new form yet...
If you are in doubt, Jawbreaker from TF Earthspark transforms into a Stygimoloch in the episode "A Stygi Situation"
@@shreyashagrahari6712 good news, just watch re-air of Earthspark today and they actually air Breakdown episode. I glad that episode didnt just cut off or even worst, heavy un-nassecery censor.
I mean, i know how people begin to aware of how "that topic" Transformers can get (which is why we never air "MANTERA" ever again. Our Transformers look like a live action Knockout) but when i have to watch this show on Netflix, Bumblebee even use the word "he like a brother to me". That alone should make people less worry over "that topic" on this show.
The only reason why we still keep Nightshade able to use "they/them" is becuase Nightshade is born like that. If you born with it, it got handwave on it...
@@syabilaazri7834 That's good. Now you know the leftover lore of the series.
Random background characters: has about 2 seconds of screen time along with little to no personality or depth
Transformers fans: they're my favourite
Mine is jolt.
Signal lancer my beloved
Transformer DOTM DEVCON is my personal favorite 😂
@@Lego_Huracan_SuperTrofeo where's the funny....
the fandom in two sentences.
Note: If memory serves, during a call with Agent Fowler (who was posing as a Vehicon), it's shown that Prime Breakdown does care for the rank and file Vehicons and returns Fowler's "How are you?".
Not to mention they showed him just casually chilling out and talking with 2 other vehicons in a mine (funny enough they were talking about Airacnaid being hot lmfao)
Breakdown having friendships with Knockout and Bumblebee is definitely something that I feel future iterations of the character can play around with. It just adds a lot more depth to him, as a lot of decepticons are pretty one-note characters that don't really seem like they have a reason to be around each other.
I kind of wish in RID, the Stunticons would have alluded to Breakdown.
"We were brought on as replacements after one of the original guys left. He got an upgrade and didn't fit in with the team anymore."
"The upgrade changed his personality?"
"Well, that and the fact that he literally couldn't fit into Menasor. Besides, he's dead now."
I still regret I didn't get the Prime Breakdown toy when it was reissued
You and me both bro
I couldn't get him even if i wanted
@@blueraccoon1088 facts 💯
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I wonder if to TFP fans it was everything they ever wanted
I like how Earthspark Breakdown has a transformation that's not far off from how a lot of versions of Bumblebee transform. It suggests that maybe at some point they shared a body-type and they've just had different upgrades.
Looks like runamuck to me
I got the Cylas Breakdown toy as a kid. For whatever reason, I chose it as my online name.
You paid a memorable tribute to your childhood. 👍
That's cool I chose Knockout Starscream as my handle because their tied as my all time favorite characters.
Silas is spelled with an "S", if you turn on subtitles.
@@jacobcaraway1754 At first, yes. But when he was implanted into Breakdown, the spelling changed to “Cylas”. He said it stood for “CYbernetic Life Augmented by Symbiosis”.
All these years, and I never knew that Breakdown was paranoid. I’ve had the WFC Nintendo DS games since they came out, and I’ve always wondered about Breakdown’s character voice clips: “Hope no-one recognizes me!”, “I’m gonna stick out like a sore thumb!”, “Anyone looks at me and they’re done for!”, etc. Now I know what they were in reference to!
WFC game Breakdown's paranoia is much more noticeable in the PS3 & XBox 360 versions of the game.
With the stuntacons they all have some sort of emotional or mental issue which Motor master manipulates and worsens out of a combination of having fun torturing them and ensuring they follow him. Which is why Menasor is usually out of control as none of the consciousness' want to work together.
Dragstrip is obsessed with winning. Dead end is depressed. Wildrider is psychotic. And as mentioned Breakdown is paranoid.
Even the replacements in some universes have something motor master uses to sow chaos. Blackjack is weak and doesn't trust anyone, meanwhile Off-road wasn't trusted by his teammates as he was the 'new guy'.
Yeah I remember those lines
Bro same
TFP Breakdown with G1 Breakdown's personality is a recipe for comedy gold!
A big, scary guy being scared himself?
Imagine him getting blasted with a mind-regression ray.
"Why am I so big? And what's with my voice?"
@@jacobcaraway1754 yes, especially him worrying about being seen
Nah; I’d rather prefer the other way around; the g1 body style and with the Prime’s fighting personality.
@@axl1632I prefer the classic personality and appearance. The TF franchise has enough big brawlers.
Australian here. The Stunticons were one of my first packs of toys I got. Mum wouldn't let me have the parts to combine them until I'd proved I could put them together. Well I shut her up a few seconds later. XD
It’s funny that they made Breakdown a cocky racer in TF Earthspark, considering he’s voiced by Roger Craig Smith, the current voice actor for Sonic the Hedgehog.
Prime Breakdown is the best in terms of his design and rivalry with Bulkhead but Earthsparks is my favourite with how different he is and is almost like a brother to Bee instead of Cliffjumper despite being on opposite sides
Chris Mcfeely Your videos on Transformers are all class! I'm 44 years old and have been following Transformers since G1. I'm a big fan of your vids and thank you.
I found it funny how in the beginning if WFC Megatron shot and killed a random trooper for being concerned about ramming a ship into a space station but the moment breakdown appeared he kept whining throughout the Decepticon campaign😂
Megatron and Breakdown interactions are one of my favorite part about the decepticon campaign
Fun Fact Breakdown from Prime series was revived by Unicron in Unite Warriors comic canon
Breakdown got isekaied-
Including Armada Thrust and G1 Roller
@@G1Grimlock94 was not roller thst was revived by unicron was from idw comics?
@@Warmasterstales it's a weird hybrid of both roller the drone and IDW roller
And he cried when he finally met his friend again
With such different versions they might as well be different characters though I admit I like the name being for the original G1 version simply due to Breakdown being such a genius name for bot that can break things with his engine rev and has a tendency to mentally breakdown.
They are different characters. Hasbro just likes to slap the names on completely different characters for trademark. Only G1 characters are the original to me.
They should just make it official. Breakdown should be the G1 inspired incarnations and Brakedown should be all the Prime inspired versions.
The TFP version's narrative certainly was disappointing on two counts. The most obvious is that there was no final clash between him and Bulkhead. The second being the tease for a divided loyalty between Megatron and Starscream.
Favorite line in Masquerade episode:
Everybody out on bad behavior...!!!
6:12 Can’t wait for “THE BASICS on LUGNUT”
prime and earthspark breakdown are my fave depictions of the guy cus in earthspark i can just see him and bee hanging out even during the war when everything was quiet
I'm convinced the tfp Breakdown was originally supposed to be Crankcase when put side by side. Blue SUV mode, orange faces, shoulder cannons, that one version of Crankcase with a hammer for a hand weapon. Remember, the writers for rid had no clue about the tfp cast, and the name Wildbreak sounds more like a last minute name change
Actually it was going to be lugnut but scrapped but to do make a good point. Would have been crankcase but he was in dark of the moon dreads toy.
i like how whenever breakdown is away from motormaster he is kind and confident
I can't believe that Earthspark he's Voiced by Roger Craig Smith aka Sonic.
Given that breakdown is a racing junkie there it's very in character.
He’s the fastest con alive lol
That said breakdown sounds more like Rogers Captain America voice than his sonic
Impressive, ALMOST as many solo outings as my main 'Con Swindle. Now there's a team-up I wouldn't mind, especially with the Prime bruiser version.
Maybe next season on Earthspark.
Time for the breakdown on Breakdown.
Good one!🤣👍🏼
@@OdesseyAchilles-ih5qb thank you. I thought people would ignore it or think it was too cheesy or something.
It would be Funny If Prime Breakdown said "I was a Wimp Before Transformers Prime! Now I'm a Jerk and Everybody loves me!"
Funny thing is G1 Breakdown is actually really smart. He is the nerd of his group 😂😂
Prime Breakdown is a jock
I know they're probably a lie but I went to check their tech specs,
Drag strip and breakdown scored 7, wildrider was 6.5, and the others 6.
So I have no idea where the idea that he's smart came from
@@gabrielchee8470 in all the G1 episodes he is the smart man of the group and dude.... its 7 out of 10. How the fuck he isn't smart???
If only dragstrip could have more solo adventures outside of the stunticons like breakdown
I'd like to take this opportunity to breakdown this episode of The Basics, but I'm paranoid it might lead to a breakdown of irritation and result in a knockout punch.
Pun overuse detected.
@@jacobcaraway1754 That's what I was going for. lol
Breakdown’s death in Transformers Prime was just cruel I hate that we never got to see Knockout grieving for him and the show instead made him not care about his partner’s death
That would have been good, but in my opinion, outwardly grieving as a Decepticon would be seen as a sign of weakness, and in that faction, weakness could be fatal. Plus, the only bot with whom Knock Out could let his guard down was Breakdown, and for the most part, it was Starscream who "talked out loud" to himself to enable the audience to know just what he was thinking.
@@laine_s I actually have the same head canon as you that Knockout didn’t grieve because he didn’t want Megatron to call him weak but they most likely didn’t have him grieve because the writers believed that bad guys need to be uncaring to everyone to be seen as bad
"Not care"? His RAGE at Cylas when the bastard showed up was pretty clear...
@@templarw20 yeah but that wasn’t enough we should have had a lot more scenes of Knckout grieving Breakdown’s death
Yknow, breakdown has a surprising amount of consistency between his designs in this continuity
So basically Breakdown has become to the stunticons what Swindle is to the combaticons. Neat.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but my favorite Breakdown isn’t Prime- it’s EarthSpark. We so infrequently get meaningful of interesting Autobot/Decepticon relationships across faction lines aside from the greatest hits (Optimus/Megatron, Starscream/Jetfire, etc) but just in one episode the dynamic between Breakdown and Bee is right up there for me, and Roger Craig Smith absolutely understood the assignment of Breakdown as a cocky jerk with a heart of gold.
EarthSpark Breakdown was great, sucks how they absolutely ruined him in Season 2.
Nothing more to say except a "Look how they massacred my boy" followed with that scene from TF Prime where Optimus loses it and screams.
For reasons I do not know, I've always really love how you enunciate, "The _HEAD_ Masters".
Great, in-depth episode! Love seeing these closer looks at individual sub-team members as follow-ups to the initial spotlight team video. Hopefully going forward, we can see individual videos for each of the other members as well? Also, Constructicons, Combaticons, etc!
You said in your Stunticons video that Breakdown would get his own video. Way to deliver, Chris!
Unpopular opinion - I absolutely love the garish G2 color schemes. It's a perfect time capsule of cultural zeitgeist, and it's brilliant.
My head canon is that Bulkhead probably killed Lugnut, then Knockout gave Breakdown Lugnut's body, which gave him courage and more confident
Though never shown on screen I always assumed they used pieces of Prime Breakdown to construct their Nemesis Prime drone, and when that failed hard put them back into Breakdown's robot carcass to act as a life support module and upgrade for Silas
Breakdown is a fun one. Stunticon or Prime version it's cool to have Decepticons a little more than faceless goon.
In my head, Prime Breakdown scanned his alt mode from a Cobra Delivery truck from GI Joe Renegades. And he really dislikes Roadblock (because he and Bulkhead share the same VA).
I also imagine Stunticon Breakdown uses the name to throw THEM off his trail. G1 BD is a Dale Gribble level conspiracy nut. He uses the name as a cover. His theories include the premise for MASK, Sky Commanders, Inhumaniods, and Centurions.
A Lamborghini isn't the most inconspicuous mode for an undercover scout.
Maybe when breakdown needs to run he can hit the pedal and get the heck out of dodge at the speed of sound
Nice that they referenced his different iterations with the 2 new stunticons in RID
Breakdown was one of my favorites back when I was a kid. I took him everywhere with me.
Breakdown is so paranoid, his Legacy release got scared off shelves within weeks to never be seen again
bro you did breakdown but not deadend he's the best one!
I don't know much about them so I'd really love a video on the Technobots and Computron if possible. They've become one of my favorites since my dad showed me the episode they deputed in and I hope theres more of my favorite combiner team and autobots.
If Breakdown in TF Prime was meant to be Lugnut, imagine in a world where TF Animated fan favorite Lugnut, gets experimented on, gets killed off, and turns into a Terrorcon zombie. Now looking back at the moments between Bulkhead and Breakdown it makes sense that it was meant to be Lugnut since they both did have a rivalry in Animated.
I was about to mention in the comments here that you forgot earthspark breakdown but I’m glad you did mention him cause apart from prime “Brakedown”(which is how I spell that version since there’s currently two different versions of him in legacy) definitely in earthspark gave me Dominic Toretto and Connor O’Brian vibes with his relationship with bumblebee two”brothers” on opposite sides of the law coming together at the end of the first season
Hoping this is going to make mention in it about how the recent toy became nonexistent in some places of the world in shelves - it has still never got to Australia
So, to preface. I was a G1 watcher back in the day. I remember when the episodes introducing the Stunticons were first aired.
But I like the Prime version best. He had an interesting arc, and while it was cut short, there were still some really cool bits. Like how he was the only one to care about the vehicon soldiers. It showed that, while the 'Cons were clearly evil, there were some shades of gray in their behaviors. Same with Dreadwing.
"...who was assistant to Decepticon medic, Knockout."
...Yep, his assistant. TOTALLY HIS ASSISTANT. ;)
I think it's fun that IDW1 apparently has two Breakdowns, one based on G1 and one based on Prime.
If Breakdown and Dreadwing joined the Autobots in Transformers Prime, we might have gotten a new Wreckers team.
In my fan art, I included both the Prime and G1 Breakdown with the former renamed, "Offroad"...
Ya Forgot Bayverse's Comic Breakdown. He Was There Briefly and He Was Beautiful.
He talked about it at 4:56.
Im honestly confused what beef simon Furman has with him, considering he wrote all the stories breakdown was in, and breakdown was furminated in all 3.
@@HasteChaseri think this guy's talking about the toys appearance in comics, but given how small the TFwiki article is i guess i can understand why it didn't make the cut
I like the idea that being with Knock Out is what helped Breakdown get over his anxiety.❤
I'm surprised Zamu, the Arms Micron who became Takara Breakdown's hammer weapon, wasn't mentioned.
To explain why the Prime Voyager Breakdown was never released it was due to budget reasons. The Voyagers in Prime had the Powerizer gimmick (MechTech with a light) and the designers couldn’t work it in with Breakdown’s figure without making him more expensive or simplifying his transformation (resulting in a different figure altogether).
I love breakdown! Because he makes my heart "Breakdown!" 😂😂
If I were to put the G1 and Prime breakdown in the same universe, I would have made it so that the reason that they're both name Breakdown is by sheer coincidence, much like how to people can have the same name
G2 Breakdown is one of my fave colour schemes
My first experience with Breakdown was the video game, where Crispin Freeman did a phenomenal job voicing him. That performance immediately gave me an attachment to the character.
I didn't know Prime Breakdown was suppose to be Lugnut! Yow!
A Decepticon Uprising led by Breakdown and Dreadwing would be interesting to see.
He's going to have a breakdown
I like to think that if Prime Breakdown hadn't been killed, he would have defected to the Autobots and Knockout would have joined him. Breakdown was clearly a decent guy despite his rivalry with Bulkhead and being a Decepticon. He was pretty chummy with the Vehicons and had a crush on Airachnid, so clearly he had more to him than just being a Decepticon meathead. Like I bet he would have eventually made peace with or even befriended Bulkhead and joined the Wreckers, and Knockout and Ratchet would have bonded over their shared medical expertise.
Better and better Chris! This surprisingly beefy Breakdown was your best one yet :)
The most popular of the stunticons by far!
I still like Dead End and Wildrider more.
See boys, proof that if you can overcome your paranoia and negative self-talk, you can get ripped and be loved by everyone. You're holding yourself back from greatness
The Stunticons are my favourite G1 combiner team and some of my favourite Transformers in general. I still haven't built my Legacy crew into Menasor yet for some reason though. I want the Stunticons to have a key billing in any future live action movie; there's so much cool stuff they could do if given a story. I can see iconic scenes where just hearing them coming terrorises the Autobots familiar with the sounds...
"Breakdown would be tickled." Knockout.
I love it when Breakdown befriends Knockout and takes charge of the duo's brute strength. Also, according to Knockout, he is a master polisher.
My favorite version of breakdown has always been the prime version. Breakdown is also my favorite character in the whole show. I still wish we got to see more of him in the show and see him join the autobots I do love though how in the show how kind he was to all the deacons and how respectful he was to his superiors. but I understand the budget cost of CGI. Breakdown is one of my favorite characters no matter if it’s the paranoid G1 character or the tough personality bought from prime. I always loved breakdown and transformers prime to this day. It has become my personal favorite transformers design in Transformers media.
There were other factors: the Hub Network underperforming and Hasbro butting heads with the show producers.
@@twistedgaming9185 yeah I know I didn’t really want to cram that all into one comment
Breakdown = Swindle but Stunticon.
Hope we're got more Combiners who became major character.
Motormaster, Onslaught and First Aid deserve to be standout most
Transformers Energon did explore the possibility of reusing Breakdown's name with the alternative word spelling on a Mini-Con who was part of the Courier Mini-Con Team but it was canceled until heard in Cybertron.
Huh. I didn't know that the 1986 combiners were diaclone. There's nowhere for the little men to sit.
those were getting phased out by then as they were changing the scale yet again. Construction Robo came with Diaclone pilots but also had nowhere to sit, but Train Robo did
@@anthonybird546 Shame. Imagine if the combiners were done in the 1984/85 style. A huge die-cast Menasor would be amazing.
@@chrisschurke4151Depending on how you feel about 3p,we have 4/5ths of a Menasor done,with lots of die cast. That's if FansToys can hurry up and finish it!
I am miffed that you didn't mention how Breakdown reunited with Knock Out after the events of Unite Warriors.
7:00 Of COURSE it would be budget issues. I thought they put the whole, "kill off the characters because toys have not made or discontinued" a long time ago? This is a primary example of greed killing off a really good character, and I bet that's the same thing to Dreadwing too
Hello, it's me again. I'm just letting you know that I'm still waiting for a basics episode on the witwickies
Been waiting for this one!
We've all been waiting, too!
I absolutely NEED an Earthspark Breakdown that isn't just a 1 Step Changer
Breakdown adopted a child with Knockout via ember stone and Breakdown has a son named Aftermath.
Ironic; the most popular Stunticon is the one who’d hate it the most.
I'm surprised you finally released it. Keep up the good work
Awesome video and hope to see a video on Dead end in the future?
5:52 : One of so many reasons that prove that "Transformers war for cybertron" video games it's not a sequel of "Transformers Prime" series!!!
*prequel
@@burner555 yeah you're right, not a prequel.
Thank you for correction.
The Prime Breakdown's personality, the hulking hammerhand bot, eager ruthless warrior fit him good, with or without the hammer or hulking he just likes breaking down and destroying stuff. And it was annoying that he was captured, vivisected, and killed him off in the show and became Silas's own body and then used The Dark Energon on him and then killed again. Wildbreak pretty much will keep G1 Breakdown's personality, I think, fit really good on him. Two things I was shocked in the Transformers War of Cybertron video game on the Nintendo DS Breakdown is voice by Steve Blum sense that game have a different story and Transformers Earthspark he voice by Roger Craig Smith, when I see I was, this why I like Breakdown so much. Thank you for the history of my favorite Stunticons member.
I love Breakdown but I prefer the paranoid version. The cons have enough big brawlers across the franchise.
Japanese names coming to the western world can always be funny. The "silence" version of breakdown, I believe was meant to be the "stealth" version. Because it's black. Changing the color of something can make it stealthy but doesn't change sound to be any more quiet. So stealth is somehow synonymous with being quiet, but not being unseen... Who knows
Not "silence," **Silas**, the leader of MECH! The figure represents Breakdown after his body's been merged with Silas's.
KNOCKOUT: Now there's my Conjunx Endura
Seriously breakdowns fate in prime was gruesome! Having his eye ripped out, being killed by his crush which she ripped him to pieces, being stiched together and taking control of by the person who ripped out his eye btw and Then turned him into a zombie and being killed Again by arachnid Seriously karma was a glitch to this guy
But I'm glad he got together with knock out in the IDW version
Yeah, it’s more the fact that the person who killed him in the coldest of blood was his own crush object is more mentally painful than any physical pain at that moment!.. I bet this was his reaction as his spark enters The Afterlife.
Aligned!Breakdown: I have a question!.. For Primus!.. *WHYYYYYYY?!?*
