Breakdown was my 9th ever TF figure and my first ever combiner figure so I've always had a soft spot for the little psychotic paranoid .

I quite liked the TFSS Breakdown who would have been enough for me to serve as a Generations version. I'd been hoping for a WFC version, but still happy to have the character turn up for the combiner wars.

His robot mode is quite good, as is his vehicle mode - both very true to the G1 toy/cartoon character. In that regard he is spot on. The headlights on the vehicle mode are an interesting touch. Decent paintjob in both modes as well.

I had a great deal of trouble with what should have been a very simple transformation. I was trying to fold his lower legs up for his vehicle mode and they simply would not go. So I watched youtube and the people there were doing it the same way I was trying. In the end I bit the bullet and forced it and they went, just turned out the joints were incredibly stiff. They are fine now, but for a moment there I was sure I was gonna snap him .

Overall he is a good character, for my money no better or worse than any of the other combiner wars limb toys that are coming out, and definetly worth getting so you can make Menasor
