Wonder if they're into bubble gum.

• DK-3 Breaker (Deluxe Class, 2022)
  • Series: Legacy
  • Accessories: Arm-mounted gun, canopy

An add-on for Legacy, Generations Selects DK-3 Breaker is a blue redeco of Earthrise Trailbreaker, who is a retool of Hoist. The figure converts from a robot into a camper truck. Breaker sports Trailbreaker's new head, pelvis, and gun attachment, as well as a new backpack that replaces Hoist's towing apparatus with a canopy containing a flip-out shoulder cannon and radar scanner for robot mode. The canopy comes detached in-package and has a 5 mm post sculpted inside it, allowing Breaker to wield it as a shield. It also has a hole on top to store the figure's gun attachment in vehicle mode. It's possible to wedge the gun under the hood between the arms using one of the 5mm ports on the forearms, though this causes the weapon nozzle to poke out off-center in front from under the hood.

Breaker was announced via a very large banner at Entertainment Earth's booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2022.

This mold was also used to make Lift-Ticket.

Notes

• IDW's Breaker was named in an early 2021 comic, a year and a half before Generations Selects Breaker was announced. They're likely not intentionally related, but they're both Breakers from the Generation 1 continuity family, and Breaker had no established physical appearance, so they both can belong here on the same page.
• DK-3 Breaker is based on the blue version of 4WD Hi-luxe (4WD (ダブルディー)ハイラックス), the Diaclone mecha whose toy was used to create Generation 1 Trailbreaker.
• The name "Breaker" may intentionally follow the convention established by Burn Out and Lift-Ticket of naming un-Diacloned characters with G.I. Joe trademarks. Or it's just "Trailbreaker" with the "Trail" lopped off.
