- Wildbreak is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
There are leaders and followers, and Wildbreak most definitely fits into the latter category. Wildbreak is not the brightest sparkplug in the engine, and mostly just goes along with his frequent partner-in-crime Drag Strip, whose grandiose schemes and bluster more than make up for Wildbreak's skittishness and lack of initiative. Even though Drag Strip sometimes gets frustrated with his lunkheaded partner, Wildbreak makes himself useful by projecting a field that can throw enemies right off their feet.
When the heat's on, the two of them can combine into Dragbreak; unsurprisingly, Wildbreak lets his partner do most of the talking when they're united. The two of them can combine further with their fellow Stunticons to form Menasor.

Notes
- With Drag Strip being a broad spoof of Jackie Gleason's Ralph Kramden character from The Honeymooners, Wildbreak's characterization is inspired by Ralph Kramden's friend Ed Norton. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then the two sitcom characters were also the inspiration for Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble from The Flintstones.
- Wildbreak's name makes him seem like a stand-in for classic Generation 1 Stunticon Wildrider, given the way it amalgamates Wildrider's original moniker with his trademark-mandated alternate name "Brake-Neck." In all other respects, though, he's really more of an expy for Generation 1 Breakdown (whose name has already been taken by another "Aligned" continuity character), sharing his skittish personality, his power to generate disruptive vibrational fields, and partially blue color scheme.
