65.118.138.127: /* Number of Bug Bite toys made */ Why are we asking about Primus vs. non-attendee sets here?

The ''Games of Deception'' preview pages parses it "Bug Bite." Hoo-ha. Can I re-redirect? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

: About to say.. wasn't it "Bug Bite" originally? I would not be remotely shocked to see it officially parsed as both two words and one (wonder what the packaging says), but if we have both and the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL is two words, I'd go with two. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 06:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Damn straight! Back to the real spelling! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

:::why was it ever ''not'' bug Bite in the first place? There couldn't have been an established romanization from the e-hobby set. Mere oversight? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I assume you're asking about why this article was at Bugbite, one word? Well, it started out as two words, but the BotCon website announcement of the exclusive has it as a single word, so the article was moved to match that. (If you're actually asking why the BotCon website has it as a single word when the comic parses it as two, then yeah, probably an oversight.) --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 13:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

==Number of Bug Bite toys made==
The Wiki entry says 1500. I assume that this comes from the number 1100 (as indicated on the "certificate of authenticity" regarding the box sets) and 400 (the number of loose sets we were told were made). Yet, the number on the certificate (1100) is at variance with both an e-mail sent by Brian Savage on May 4 (which also confirmed the number of loose sets at 400) and the notice put up at www.botcon.com on that same date, both of which said 1050 box sets were made. Naturally, this would make the total number of toys 1450. I'm inclined to believe that the certificate is in error, but if anyone has more solid information, I'd certainly welcome it.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 21:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:I'm confused as to how many Primus packages were sold this year before they sold out, since there are also the non-attendee box sets to account for. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 22:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::I certainly don't pretend to know how many are "Primus" (attendee) sets and how many are "Iacon" (non-attendee) sets, but since they're physically the same, I'm not sure it matters. There were 1050 (or 1100, depending on which source is to be believed) box sets. That's "Primus" and "Iacon" together. The 400 loose sets were available to either one, equally. "Primus" buyers weren't given preference over "Iacon" buyers on loose sets.--[[User:65.118.138.127|65.118.138.127]] 23:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Breakdown (G1)

2007-05-25T21:24:16Z

65.118.138.127: /* Generation 1 */ fixed a few spelling errors

{{disambig3|Breakdown}}

:''Breakdown is a [[Decepticon]] [[Stunticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MTMTEBreakdown.jpg|right|thumb|300px| Ever since the invention of [[Targetmaster]]s Breakdown has been convinced his pistol is out to kill him...]]

'''Breakdown''' has an acute case of paranoia (what was that!?). He genuinely believes that things, both living and inanimate, are ''watching'' him (they're everywhere!). Breakdown doesn't like to stand out in a crowd (did you hear ''that''!?). He dreads being different and garnering attention (stop staring at me!). At times, he almost wishes he was a [[human]] so he could just disappear and no one would notice (get them off meeeee!).

Breakdown can combine with his fellow [[Stunticon]]s to form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]].

''Italian name:'' '''Caimano'''<br>
''French-Canadian name:'' '''Panicon'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Generation 1 cartoon===
:''Voice actor: ? (US), [[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japan)''

===Dreamwave Comics continuity===
At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a prison facility. Later, in an attempt to create a diversion while he set his final plans in motion, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] arranged for the release of the Stunticons. They formed into Menasor and ran amuck for awhile, until [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and began insulting them. Unable to reconcile with this, the five Stunticons began to bicker with each other over whose fault it was that they were failing, temporarily stopping Menasor and allowing Ultra Magnus to ram the combiner in the chest, forcing him to separate into his component parts and disabling the Stunticons.

===Devil's Due continuity===

{{-}}
==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Breakdown''' (Stunticon, 1986/1987)
:''US team number:'' '''S2'''
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-51'''

[[Image:G1Breakdown_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Wahoo reaction, now a gucci cola sale]]

: The original Breakdown toy transformed into a white Lambourghini Countach. He comes with a blue double-barreled laser cannon that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode.

: In robot mode, Breakdown's legs transform in a manner similar to [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]]'s, flipping and inverting. He is armed with a small blue laser pistol. As he was designed with the [[Scramble City]]-style combination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the right leg to Menasor.

===Generation 2===
*'''Breakdown''' (Stunticon, 1994)

: ''Generation 2'' Breakdown was released as an exclusive at [[BotCon 1994]].
