Meltdown is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Fondon't!

Meltdown is full of rage. His battle plan (regardless of what his commander, Direct-Hit, orders him to do) is always to charge right in, ramming his opponents, then transforming to robot mode to bludgeon them to death. He regards this as a perfectly sensible approach to anger management.

His combiner partner on the Battle Squad is Half-Track.

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.
