Brakedown (ROTF)
| The name or term "Brakedown" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Brakedown (disambiguation). |
- Brakedown is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action movie continuity.
Brakedown's job is to not be seen. He's a scout, not a warrior, and so he's built for speed and not conflict! Unfortunately, Mudflap has located him, so Brakedown just might find himself outclassed. Flee, Brakedown, flee!
Fiction
IDW Transformers movie comics
As part of Strike Team Ursa, Brakedown (alongside Dirt Boss and Reverb) was dispatched to Wendover, Utah by Soundwave to investigate the mysterious organization that had resurrected Ravage. They discovered a hidden base beneath a garbage dump, but fled after they accidentally activated its self-destruct mechanism. While fleeing, they were intercepted by the Autobots Ironhide and Sideswipe, the latter of whom promptly bisected Brakedown. Nefarious #2
Titan Magazines Revenge of the Fallen comics
Brakedown was incarcerated in NEST's maximum security jail in South Africa. He decided it'd be a jolly wheeze to insult that loser Bludgeon for getting whupped by a cadet, haw haw!
Oh wait, Bludgeon wanted to be captured so he could break out and break all the 'Cons out?! Oh forget everything I said, Bludgeon, I'm totally behind you 100%, please don't kill me as a warning to everyone else not to question you AAAK- Inside Out!
Unite for the Universe
Brakedown was part of Bludgeon's crew, raiding N.E.S.T. Advanced Research Facility in Japan to gain the secrets of Project: Unite. Their presence was leaked, however, and Brakedown was buried alive under snow and ice by Optimus. The Secret of Project: Unite
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Brakedown (Scout Class, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RD-23
- Part of the fifth wave of Revenge of the Fallen Scout-class figures (and the only new mold among that wave), Brakedown converts from a white sports car (a mish-mash of Lamborghini and Ferrari parts) to a white and blue robot. Like Revenge of the Fallen Runamuck, he homages the Generation 1 Stunticon Breakdown, though now in form, color, and name. He also has a bit of a backpack.
- This mold was also used to make the 2010 Transformers series Oil Pan.
Notes
- The European market release of Brakedown features the obligatory trimmed-down on-packaging bio in twelve languages. However, in the process, three sentences from the US version's bio ("Decepticon Scout BRAKEDOWN avoids contact with the enemy at all costs. His job is to observe and report, not fight. That's why he's geared for speed, not battle.") were condensed into a nonsensical "BRAKEDOWN observes and reports, and why he is geared for speed."
- Simon Furman has used him three times and killed him in all three!
