    We all know who Breakaway is, an aerial bot which was introduced to us in the ROTF videogame and toyline. But what really happened to him? Was he going to have a big role in the film or would he just be killed off immediately?

    He was a minor character. He was never going to appear in the films because not counting Jetfire, NONE of the Autobots in the actual films were ever jets.

    Why ask? There are dozens of characters who never escaped the concept art phase but showed up elsewhere.

    Especially since the character in question hasn't been relevant in 10 years.

    He was in the DOTM game in the Starscream level and just gets killed easily so that's the closure we got on him.I really like the design to this day...got his figure because he's one of my favorite designs.He just has something different about him.If he would have been in the movie I think he would have survived but he would have had a minor role.Springer and Depthcharge were also gonna appear but got toyline only appearances.
