The name or term "Brake-Neck" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Brake-Neck (disambiguation).
Brake-Neck is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

Brake-Neck is fast and brave. And... well, he's fast and brave, did we mention that? Okay, yes, he's also as dumb as a post and has one of the lowest "Skill" rankings ever recorded... so yeah, good thing he's so fast and brave.[1]

Brake-Neck is a redeco of Six-Speed, transforming into a white Toyota GT-One Le Mans-style racing car. He was only sold on an individual cardback in discount store chains like Family Dollar in the U.S.
This mold was also used to make Platinum Element, Socket, and Guardian Speed.

Notes

  • There was no indication what universe Brake-Neck was from on his packaging. The Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would later declare him to be a Unicron Trilogy character.
  • All four of the Mini-Cons in this assortment come on red cards like the Generations toys, but lack the "Generations" on the logo, thus this wiki classifies them as "2010" product.
  • The back of his package rather oddly identifies Brake-Neck's vehicle mode as a "Sports Car". Yyyyeah, good luck picking up one of those at the local dealership.
  • Brake-Neck's two fellow gang-molded Mini-Cons were released in the 2010 Transformers toyline as Swashplate and Drivetrain, though it would be odd to form a team of three as Drivetrain is a Decepticon.
