- Takedown is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Takedown is the leader (or "foreman") of the Construction Patrol. He sees the way he can mix and combine materials to make a strong foundation as a metaphor for how he gets his team to work together... and for how to forge a lasting peace. Unfortunately, though he's a brilliant organizer, his command of tactics is weak.[1]
In Japan, Neutro leads the "Build Patrol Team" rather than Takedown.
