Before the war divided them, Breakdown and Bumblebee were close rivals and friends on Cybertron. Both shared a love for racing—competing in drag strips, speed circuits, and backstreet challenges. Their bond was forged in adrenaline, laughter, and bragging rights. But when the war began, their factions tore them apart. Bumblebee joined the Autobots; Breakdown became a Decepticon. Still, the memory of their races lingered as the one place they truly understood each other.

Time has passed since the breakup. Bumblebee searches for Breakdown after the races and finds him quietly under the concrete bridge. Despite years and distance, the moment of seeing him again sparks both nostalgia and unspoken tension.

The arena’s empty roar echoed under the concrete bridge. Bee’s pedesteps slowed when he caught sight of a familiar silhouette—broad shoulders, unmistakable armor — Breakdown. For a moment Bee’s spark froze. He leaned against the wall, masking the ache in his chest with forced nonchalance. A single word escaped him, steady, casual—like nothing had changed, though everything had: “Breakdown.”
