    I was convinced there would be a US release, but your comment got me thinking.

    No, I don't see and translucent plastic on this guy and on that note, haven't the plastic choices between US and AM release been basically the same? (Colors slightly different, sure but still darn close)

    Also, I donlt see where the clear plastic would go or for that matter any in the windshield. Because if teh mold had clear plastic, I'm pretty sure the windshield would get some.

    TL;DR: This gallery makes me reconsider the idea that the US is getting this mold.

    And then they also announce brand spanking new molds like Thundertron and Ultra Magnus who aren't in the show at all.

    Fixed.




    Wasn't an outline of Magnus shown on a screen during the Orion Pax arc?

    Very nice. Guess I'll have to track down an AM Breakdown once I go revisit Japan later this year.

    That's up for debate. But it's still weird how they haven't announced a Breakdown mold here yet they're already moving on to a bunch of non-show characters.

    If you're going to count the Cyberverse CJ, then you have to count the CV Breakdown too.

    If the US gets him, we'll probably get an all new mold.

    Then again, maybe he'll be Hasbro Asia exclusive, because that one convention did show the prototype...

    Breakdown is big pimpin in those pics. Can't wait to see him show up in my stack on TFSource so I can ship. Anyone know how long till he officially is available? Must be close.

    Go back to the announced new voyagers thread - while hard to make out you can see that there is indeed clear plastic on all new molds.

    Where is it on this one?

    Like I said earlier, not a good sign for those wanting it to release stateside IMHO.

    Like Bulkhead, it seems to be underplayed, but his windshields end up on his arms. Likely, the light up gimmic would go into his arm from the hole and shine out the back.

    I'm not counting out anything until Hasbro says "We are not releasing Breakdown.

    It is hard to tell, but you may be right about the windshield being clear plastic. Wish we had a better alt mode pic.

    We will get this toy stateside. Stop being a bunch of G1 Huffers, people.

    I kinda dig the stickers but some more or some paint would not go unwanted.

    As well as a ton of Asia exclusives coming up

    But this guy was a big deal in the show I dont see him getting left out. As for SW and Q they seemed to fall victim of poor wave choices as it seemed DoTM just got hit badly when it came to stores stocking up on early waves. *finding wave 1 stuff is still an easy thing to do in the UK*

    Isn't there supposed to be new packaging some time soon? Maybe with that they'll get rid of the powerizer gimmick and focus on more solid arms with Breakdown being the first release in the Prime voyagers to have normal arms and a normal accessory.

    Breakdown. I find your lack of paint disturbing.
