Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

Seibertron.com is proud to present another set of galleries as part of our gigantic database, and today's offering sees one the most sought-after molds of the Transformers: Prime series, only available under the Japanese Arms Micron monicker: Decepticon muscle and hammer - Breakdown. But wait, not only do we bring you the basic iteration of the mold in War Breakdown, also included are the retooled, eerily sinister Silas Breakdown, complete with redeco and added Silas torso within the robot, and the Autobot repaint with a new head mold Swerve!

Not to be missed, of course, are the smaller partners that give the name to the line, the Microns. War Breakdown comes with the rhino-hammer Zamu, while Silas Breakdown features mantis-like Magi, and bulked-up Swerve finds a companion in spinning blade saw Sou. Check all of them out by clicking on any of the images below!

Funny thing about the name "War Breakdown", the Japanese dub actually had that as Breakdown's proper name, with everyone calling him "War Breakdown" instead of just "Breakdown" in that version.

Similarly, Knock Out was likewise renamed "Medic Knock Out" in that version.

I can't believe I had not one, but TWO figures before they got a gallery here! That's a personal achievement for me!

Congrats!

I felt bad that I didn't get these galleries up before now. I started them back in 2013 (hence why the lighting is different in shots such as the vehicle mode and then the robot mode). I'm forcing myself to work through some of the backlog of half finished galleries so that that content can be viewed instead of sitting on my computer.

Currently trying to finish up 2 of the 3 Specialist sets that came out in Asia last year before Motormaster, Blackjack, Huffer, Drift, Deluxe Optimus, Hyper Change Optimus, Legion Grimlock and Legion Sideswipe all arrive tomorrow.

I'm still super butthurt that we didn't get a Hasbro release of Breakdown... >:/

Look on the bright side: the paint apps would've been rat's ass anyway.

At least it would have had paint apps.

So strange looking back to when Swerve was just a generic red repaint. Although this one's a bit more familiar than others have been, even if a bit too much in Prime's "Everybody's a Wrecker!" fashion...


I'm more disappointed in how those Minicons never got here rather than the Breakdown mold. HAMMERHINO!

Finally the Swerve gallery is here now I Can get that Cgi head box art and finish my Swerve render.


*Finds that the pic has dust and is blurry*



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!



But regardless these are some good galleries.

What do you mean by the everyone is a Wrecker theme?

Sure Wheeljack was never a wrecker but even then there were only three wreckers in the show and other wreckers mentioned have been so before (besides Seaspray but hey we never saw what he was like)

Had he survived his ship's destruction, here's what he would have been like:

They were going to reveal that he actually wasn't dead, having jettisoned his ship at the last moment, and have him portrayed a lot like the character of Quint from the Jaws movie, and like Batman with a nautical whistle that would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. A gritty, hardcore Wrecker. But alas, it never happened.

I knew they were going to bring him back and the whistle part but I never knew that he would of acted like Quint.



Quint's cool.



Thanks for sharing Sabr.

You are a Wrecker! You are a Wrecker! You are a Wrecker! Everybody is a Wrecker!

Except for the fact that not everybody is a wrecker since there were only three in the show (not counting mentions or flashbacks)

Hyperbole, man, hyperbole.

But what I was getting at is the traditionally quirky/fun Wheeljack, Bulkhead, and (implied) Seaspray were all reimagined as Wreckers, a subgroup that in the show existed basically just as shorthand for "badass" (relatedly, Hardshell and Dreadwing were trumped up as badasses because they killed Wreckers). This Swerve looks like he'd be just another badass Wrecker instead of anything resembling MTMTE's now-famous boisterous bartender.

... granted, given the timing of everything, I think Prime Swerve's personality would've been decided before MTMTE really caught on, but that's besides the point.

Ironicly enough this Swerve's bio says he is a geoligist and not a fighter


Bio:

Swerve tends to get lost in his own thoughts a lot. Which is pretty dangerous when he's driving through traffic. An incredibly intelligent geologist, he's vital to the Autobots' mission on Earth, scouting out energon deposits and other resources with the sensors in his arms. He tends to work alone, simply sending reports back to base as he roams the planet.
Well, mostly alone.

Swerve long ago discovered the secret of the Arms Microns, but promised the diminutive robots that he would keep their existence a secret. As such, he's always got company in the form of his own Arms Micron partner Sou.

I bought all the TF GO predacons because I love the molds, but I just cant get into these guys. They probably would have flopped in an american release. I dont know what it is about them, but they have this over-anime aesthetic like if they were designed by bandai or some other niche japanese company.

Little early for April Fools Day.

These things are awful amazing terrible, but I'm kinda amused they went with Sharkticon Megatron instead of his normal form.
They really don't like like their a foot tall, though.

They aren't a foot tall. They're no taller than a small Deluxe.

What?! The news post lies!
