Breakdown was one of the Stunticons in Transformers G1 and formed one of the limbs, he was a Lamborghini Countach. He is a vain Decepticon who thinks everyone looks at him. He despises traffic jams and would prefer to be a human so he could fit better; a strange trait for a Decepticon. His engine emits vibrations in car mode that cause mechanical failures in other devices. His Tech Spec bio says that he is prone to leaky fuel pump. [1]
[edit] Animated series
Breakdown first appeared in the two-part episode "The Key To Vector Sigma". Like the other Stunticons, he was created after Megatron commissioned Rumble to find him some vehicles to be turned into Decepticon warriors, in order to more effectively battle the Autobots on the roads. Megatron modified the cars so they could transform into remote-controlled robots, and then took them to Vector Sigma so they could be given personalities of their own. He returned to Earth with the other Stunticons and engaged in the destruction of a military base, before being called on to form Menasor to battle the new Autobots, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots combined into Superion, but Menasor was winning until a rebuilt Omega Supreme arrived and defeated him.
