Breakdown (G1)

The name or term "Breakdown" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Breakdown (disambiguation).

Breakdown is a Decepticon Stunticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Ever since the invention of Targetmasters Breakdown has been convinced his pistol is out to kill him...

Breakdown has an acute case of paranoia (what was that!?). He genuinely believes that things, both living and inanimate, are watching him (they're everywhere!). Breakdown doesn't like to stand out in a crowd (did you hear that!?). He dreads being different and garnering attention (stop staring at me!). At times, he almost wishes he was a human so he could just disappear and no one would notice (get them off meeeee!).

Breakdown can combine with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor.

Italian name: Caimano

Generation 1

US team number: S2

Japanese ID number: D-51

The original Breakdown toy transformed into a white Lambourghini Countach. He comes with a blue double-barreled laser cannon that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode.

In robot mode, Breakdown's legs transformers similarly to [[Dead End {G1)|Dead End]]'s, flipping and inverting. He is armed with a small blue laser pistol. As he was designed with the Scramble City-style cobination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the left leg to Menasor.
