Toys

Generation 1

  • Battle Squad (Microsoft Combiner Squad, 1990)
Meltdown transforms into an armored truck, which is intended to be the front half of a blue anti-aircraft half-track that he forms with his combiner partner Half-Track. He can, of course, be connected to any other Micromaster Combiner.
Meltdown was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Half-Track, Direct-Hit, Fireshot, Power Punch, and Vanquish.
This toy was sold in Japan without changes as the Autobot Meltdown.

Notes

  • Meltdown and Half-Track are unique among the Micromaster Combiner molds in that as individuals, they actually transform into fully-functional separate vehicles rather than half of a vehicle.
