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

'''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]].

===Generation 1 cartoon===
:'''Voice actor:''' [[Jack Angel]] ([[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1|First appearance only]]); [[Alan Oppenheimer]] (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.

: 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.

: The original release featured a red sticker on Breakdown's hood. Later classics range releases in Europe featured a gold sticker instead.

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

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

==Trivia==
[[Image:G2Breakdown_toy.jpg|right|thumb|100px|So what if he can't transform? He doesn't have to link up to that jerk Motormaster ever again!]]
* An unofficial [[Action Master]] ''Generation 2'' Breakdown was an exclusive at [[BotCon 2004]], created from bootlegged Action Master [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] parts.
