	: Meltdown is physically identical to the [[Hasbro]]-release, transforming into a Humvee-like armored car.

	'''Meltdown''' is always angry, all the time. A barely-controlled ball of sheer rage, Meltdown only knows one strategy: to charge in, ram his opponents, then transform into robot mode to bludgeon them to death. His angled armor helps him to deflect enemy projectiles as he storms into battle to get up close and personal with the next Autobot he intends to eviscerate. He regards his violent behavior as a perfectly sensible approach to anger management.		'''Meltdown''' is always angry, all the time.
