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.
