Breakaway is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.

This movie will have everything: love, passion, breakaway...

In an army dominated by the ground bound, Breakaway stands out as an Autobot with flight capabilities. Not only that, but in a straight line, there aren't many fliers that keep up with him. In battle he uses this to his advantage, dispensing with any aerial acrobatics, and simply relying on bombing runs at super-sonic speeds to get the job done.

He has the cutest little face in the world.

Revenge of the Fallen Breakaway transforms into an approximation of an F-35 Lightning II/Joint Strike Fighter. His right arm features a rotary cannon with rotating barrel, activated by a gear-wheel embedded in his forearm. In what may be considered poetic irony, because of the odd assembly of this Autobot flier's head, he is always looking skyward in robot mode. His tiny head is on a ball joint, but it's locked in place by a clear plastic piece of his jet mode's canopy. As a result, Breakaway can't move his head at all. It's possible to fix this by disassembling the toy's fuselage and shaving down the clear plastic piece.

There is also a darker brown/bronze variant figure. In alt mode, Breakaway's face ends up in the cockpit.

Notes

• The English text on the European packaging says Breakaway "flies over flights". Oh dear.
