• Series: Legacy
• Accessories: Arm-mounted gun, canopy

An add-on for the first year of the Legacy toyline, 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 5 mm ports on the forearms, though this causes the weapon nozzle to poke out off-center in front from under the hood.

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

The Hoist version of this mold was also used to make Generations Selects Lift-Ticket.

Notes

• DK-3 Breaker is based on "No. 5 4WD Hilux" (4WD (ダブルディー)ハイラックス), the 1982 Diaclone mecha toy which came in three decoes. The black version was used to create Generation 1 Trailbreaker in 1984 while the blue version came to fruition as a Transformer in 2022. The yellow version would ultimately be used as the basis for Riggorus in 2024.
• 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.
• The title(?) "DK-3", meanwhile, is a reference to the blue Hilux's serial number in Diaclone's short-lived U.S.-market incarnation Diakron, following on from Generations Selects DK-2 Guard. (The "missing" DK-1 would have been a red Sunstreaker, which had already been produced two years earlier as Spin-Out.)
• As Generations Selects toys have no bios whatsoever, we can't tell you what "DK-3" is supposed to mean from an in-universe perspective. So stay tuned for a future MPG bio by Hirofumi Ichikawa to expound on just who and what DK-3 is supposed to be!
