Breakaway (Classics)

Breakaway is a Transformer in the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Breakaway is the guardian of a very important ball of rarefied Energon, displaced to Earth billions of years ago by Primus. He doesn't remember much about his past other than his mission and the long period of time he spent slumbering while guarding a pool of Super Energon. (In other words, he's probably originally from the Unicron Trilogy universe.)

Like his long-lost companions Skyfall and Landquake, he too has powerful energy manipulation abilities. Using Energon, he can restore even the most fatal of wounds.

Timelines

• Breakaway (Basic, 2007)

Breakaway is a redeco of Energon Treadshot/Windrazor, transforming into a fighter jet kinda sorta like an F-22 Raptor. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot. He comes with two double-barreled guns and a connector piece, which can form hand-held weapons as well as become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus an Autobot-style energon chip.

He was the 2007 "early bird freebie" toy exclusive to the Official Transformers Collectors' Club, sent to members who signed up before the deadline (and also at BotCon 2007, apparently). Like his fellow freebies, he is also available for sale on the Club store for those who didn't make the deadline, or future members.

Trivia

• Breakaway's timeline is pretty questionable. Vector Prime is one of the 13 original Transformers and is 25 million years old. If Breakaway is old enough to see Earth when it was still covered in magma, he'd be 4.4 billion years old! It's possible Vector Prime sent Breakaway back in time... but that's purely speculation.
