| This article is about the Transformer. For the human, see Breaker (G.I. Joe). |
- Breaker is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family
Breaker, sometimes DK-3 Breaker in full, is blue!
Fiction
2019 IDW continuity
Breaker was among the several soldiers who fell during the final battle of the War of the Threefold Spark, thereafter being listed by the Memorial Crater. Cyclonus would commit all of the fallen to memory, later reciting Breaker's name to Sixshot. Hunt
Toys
Generations Selects
- DK-3 Breaker (Deluxe Class, 2022)
- Series: Legacy
- Accessories: Arm-mounted gun, canopy
- An add-on for Legacy, Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is a blue redeco of Earthrise Trailbreaker, who is a retool of Hoist. The figure converts from a robot into a camper truck. Breaker sports Trailbreaker's new head, pelvis, and gun attachment, as well as a new backpack that replaces Hoist's towing apparatus with a canopy containing a flip-out shoulder cannon and radar scanner for robot mode. The canopy comes detached in-package and has a 5 mm post sculpted inside it, allowing Breaker to wield it as a shield. It also has a hole on top to store the figure's gun attachment in vehicle mode. It's possible to wedge the gun under the hood between the arms using one of the 5 mm ports on the forearms, though this causes the weapon nozzle to poke out off-center in front from under the hood.
- Breaker was officially revealed via a very large banner at Entertainment Earth's booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2022.
- The Hoist version of this mold was also used to make Generations Selects Lift-Ticket.
Notes
- IDW's unvisualized Breaker was named-dropped in an early 2021 comic, a year and a half before Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker was announced. They're likely not intentionally related, but they're both Breakers from Generation 1 settings, so this wiki opts to present them on the same page for convenience.
- DK-3 Breaker is based on "No. 5 4WD Hilux" (4
WD ハイラックス), the 1982 Diaclone mecha toy which came in three decoes. The black version was used to create Generation 1 Trailbreaker in 1984 while the blue version came to fruition as a Transformer in 2022. The yellow version would ultimately be used as the basis for Riggorus. - The name "Breaker" may intentionally follow the convention established by Burn Out and Lift-Ticket of naming un-Diacloned characters with G.I. Joe trademarks. Or it's just "Trailbreaker" with the "Trail" lopped off.
- The title(?) "DK-3", meanwhile, is a reference to the blue Hilux's serial number in Diaclone's short-lived U.S.-market incarnation Diakron, following on from Generations Selects DK-2 Guard. (The "missing" DK-1 would have been a red Sunstreaker, which had already been produced two years earlier as Spin-Out.)
- As Generations Selects toys have no bios whatsoever, we can't tell you what "DK-3" is supposed to mean from an in-universe perspective.
