Breacher (TF 2010)
- Breacher is an Autobot from the live-action film series continuity family.
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

- Japanese ID number: AA-07
- Accessories: Cannon
- Breacher is a small amphibious APC vehicle 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. (Bizarrely, 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.)
- The Japanese release of Breacher uses a darker blue plastic and is packed using the infamous twisty "wire" ties, unlike the international release that used the paper-based ones.
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. His Japanese name later changed to match his American one.
- Breacher's vehicle mode is a fictional version of the South African "iKlwa MRAV". The design has doors, firing ports, and other minor features that differ in style from it's real world counterpart. It appears to be armed with a fictional version of a "SSG-120 AMOS" dual barreled 120 mm. mortar turret. Also the real "iKlwa" is not an amphibious vehicle. http://www.military-today.com/apc/iklwa.htm
