Hmm? What’s this?

I have the original voyager Arms Micron Breakdown. But depending on what this ends up being, I may have to get it too.

Very confusing labels. Deluxe? Vehicon?

I hope this is the start of a full prime anniversary line!
(kind of a shame animated didn’t get one of those)

 

Maybe it will next time, Hasbro do seem to be putting out more product then ever before.

 

If this is true...

Then FUCK YOU HASBRO its been 13 years since animated and you haven't done jack shit about it.

 

Interesting

 

Sadly, I have to agree with some of the points made above. Packaging does say Deluxe (so that rules out the Arms Micron Breakdown) and also only specifies a 'figure' not '2 figures' (all previous box sets explicitly say how many figures are contained). So, strange as it seems, 'War Breakdown Vehicon' probably refers to a single Deluxe figure.

And I still have no clue what base model they would re-use for that!

 

This is 95% likely a retool of some recent Generations figure as a "G1 Breakdown," meaning the TFP character in G1 aesthetic(not the Stunticon from '85).

I wouldn't mind the idea. Stuff like Smokescreen in TFP colors or a Seeker retool as Dreadwing, and whoever can work as Knockout would be neat. Shame it's not a reissue of the Voyager mold, it really is as cool as it's hyped up to be by those who missed it. Maybe next time.

 

Oooooh, I almost got excited until I spotted "Deluxe class" on the label, thought Hasbro might've been taking advantage of not having to hit a certain price point to finally bring the actual War Breakdown over after all these years. A Siege Hound retool/redeco seems fairly likely given that mold hits a lot of the same design cues, although Siege Ironhide with a whole new chest could be another candidate it they want to keep him on the larger side.

 

Considering he was labeled "Zombie War" Breakdown, I'm putting my money on this being a re-release of the Unite Warriors Prime Breakdown figure.

 

The show model had a faux chest too

 

I wouldn't be quite that sure. I wouldn't be surprised, but keep in mind Hasbro made that commitment a while ago to stop using plastic in packaging by 2021 (If I remember correctly, at least)... so this would be by that point. This might not be a Generations Selects figure but a full subline, so it could be a new mold.

 

Cool

 

Gonna be honest, I don't see how the material used for the packaging affects the chances of this being a new mold.

 

"Transformers Prime 10 Years Anniversary" is a little...confusing.

They're better off labelling this/these figures under Generation(s) Select(s) instead.

Did the Big Powered Set/Trio or even Star Convoy have this "XX years Anniversary" printed on their boxes?

If not, then I'm certainly baffled by it.

Then again, if Makers are gonna reissue the original Breakdown mold, they will probably do this under Encore line instead.

 

So we getting that Transformers Animated Anniversary line anytime soon?

 

That seems likely and it would go some way to explaining the "Breakdown Vehicon" thing if it's to differentiate him from the G1 Stubticon.

-ZacWilliam, is curious but probably unlikely to be a purchaser.

 

Could also be RED Breakdown.

Too big scale wise for a regular release but cant have Knockout without em.

 

Does R.E.D. have a Deluxe Class? Cause the box says Deluxe Class.

 

My bet:

Vehicon: Sunstreaker

Breakdown: Trailbreaker.

 

Could just be what they're selling it under or that it uses a Selects Deluxe sized box.

 

Hasbro needs to be drinking someone's tears, after all.
