Breacher (TF 2010)
- Breacher is an Autobot from the live-action film series continuity family (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).
IS NOT: Gregory Peck.
Breacher is as comfortable in water as he is on land, which explains why he's friends with Sea Spray. Due to their operational flexibility, the "twin titans of tide and terra firma" often find themselves tasked with tracking down NEST's enemies on the islands and coastlines of Earth—an example being the Decepticon Crankstart,[1] who is hiding somewhere on the coast of Africa.[2]
Fiction
Unite for the Universe
Breacher, Sea Spray, and Sideswipe were deployed to the islands of the Aegean Sea in a hunt for the origin of a Decepticon transmission picked up by NEST. Despite the fact that the Decepticon base responsible for the transmission was cloaked, the patrolling Skystalker tried to attack and sink Sea Spray and his passenger, tipping the Autobots off that they were close. After Sea Spray destabilized Skystalker with the blowback from his turbines, Breacher was able to shoot the Decepticon down. His victory was short-lived, however, as he was ambushed and gruesomely dispatched by Lockdown. Bludgeon's Revenge
Toys
Transformers (2010)
- Breacher (Scout, 2010)
- Japanese ID number: AA-07
- Accessories: Cannon
- Part of the 2010 Transformers toyline, Breacher transforms into a Land Systems OMC Ratel IFV that can load onto Voyager Class Sea Spray. His cannon uses the C joint system, so it can be clipped onto multiple places on his robot mode, as well as on other figures with appropriate mounting points. (The instructions completely neglect to mention this, instead insisting on keeping the weapon attached to the vehicle roof mount in robot mode, thus keeping his weapon on his back even though he comes packed with the gun clipped onto his fist.) His arm-panels also utilize 3mm clips, therefore they can be equipped with assorted C joint accessories. They can also be removed and used as shields as they too are attached to his wrists with C-joints.
- The Japanese release of Breacher uses a darker blue plastic and is packed using the infamous twisty "wire" ties, unlike the version released in Hasbro's markets that uses the newer paper-based ones.
- This mold was also used to make Generations Brawl and would also have been used for the canceled Transformers: Reveal the Shield Bodyblock.
Notes
- Breacher was originally listed with the name "Groundshaker" by both Japanese hobby magazines and online stores that offered pre-orders for TakaraTomy's Autobot Alliance range. The toy's packaging, however, is more or less identical to that of his American counterpart, including the name, and the online listings were later changed accordingly.
- Despite the fact that Breacher's bio characterizes him as an amphibious combat specialist, there is no amphibious version of the Ratel vehicle available.
