| The name or term "Breakaway" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Breakaway (disambiguation). |
- Breakaway is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the movie continuity family.
In an army dominated by the ground bound, Breakaway stands out as an Autobot with flight capabilities. Not only that, but in a straight line, there aren't many fliers that keep up with him. In battle he uses this to his advantage, dispensing with any aerial acrobatics, and simply relying on bombing runs at supersonic speeds to get the job done.
He has the cutest little face in the world.

Breakaway was the Autobots' sole flier. He possessed a fusion beam sniper rifle that allowed for precision, long range attacks. His secondary weapon was a burst mini gun. Additionally, he could also release a heatwave which would overheat Decepticon weapons, allowing Breakaway to fight them hand to hand. He was always the one to report the results of each mission and was in the communications window more often than any other Autobot.
One of the newer Autobot arrivals to Earth, he and Bumblebee were put to training by Ironhide in Sam Witwicky's hometown of Tranquility.
When the Decepticons assembled a force to resurrect Megatron using an AllSpark shard stolen by Ravage, Breakaway, being the only flier at the time, was the sole Autobot able to assist the besieged United States Navy fleet assigned to guard the area.

[edit]
- Breakaway (Deluxe Class, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RA-05
- Known designers: Alex Kubalsky (TakaraTomy)
- Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway transforms into an approximation of an F-35 Lightning II/Joint Strike Fighter. His right arm features a rotary cannon with rotating barrel, activated by a gear-wheel embedded in his forearm. His Mech-Alive gimmick is located in his upper arms; turning his forearms makes the green gears turn. Breakaway does have a waist joint, but turning it is impossible because the tail fin (attached to his waist) hooks into his back. Surprisingly, unlike most Deluxe figures, he actually has rolling landing gear.
- Due to a design issue, Breakaway's head always looks skyward while in robot mode and has limited side-to-side articulation. This is respectively because his chin is blocked in place by a clear plastic piece of the jet mode's canopy in front of him, and because his head is sunken too deep into his cockpit, meaning the sides of the cockpit get in the way. While it is not possible to prevent him from looking skyward without disassembling the toy and shaving the canopy, his head is actually mounted on a hinged strut that's been pushed down, meaning it is possible to bring his head out and at least restore his side-to-side articulation by wiggling and pulling his head up until the hinges give way.
- Amusingly, the location of his head makes it look like he is riding himself in jet mode.
- Along with Sideways, Breakaway was initially released in two color schemes, a tan version and a less common dark bronze/gold version with additional green paint on its forearms.
- Breakaway was retooled to make Revenge of the Fallen Thrust and Dark of the Moon Air Raid.
- Autobot Strike Mission (Deluxe Class 4-pack, 2009)
- Available as a Sam's Club exclusive, the darker variant of Breakaway was packed with Movie Longarm, Rampage and a "battle damaged" version of Sideways.
Notes
[edit]
- Breakaway was apparently going to be in the Revenge of the Fallen movie at one point, accounting for getting a toy in the first wave of the toyline and being one of the five core Autobots of the video game. Ben Procter designed his robot mode under the working name Firestorm.[1] This working name was used as the filename for his character file in the Revenge of the Fallen game.
- The English text on the European packaging says Breakaway "flies over flights". Oh dear.
