Personality

Breakdown is best known for his his brute strength, loyalty, and surprisingly complex personality. At first glance, he appears to be the typical muscle-bound enforcer, relying more on his physical prowess than his intellect. However, Breakdown reveals layers to his character that make him stand out among the Decepticon ranks. One of Breakdown's most defining traits is his unwavering loyalty to the Decepticon cause and, more specifically, to his partner Knock Out. This loyalty often manifests as a willingness to follow orders without question, even when it puts him in dangerous situations. His dedication to Knock Out, in particular, shows a capacity for friendship and camaraderie that is rare among the often self-serving Decepticons. Despite his imposing size and strength, Breakdown displays moments of insecurity and self-doubt. Interestingly, Breakdown exhibits a certain level of honor in combat. While he doesn't shy away from using his strength to overpower opponents, he seems to prefer fair fights and often engages in one-on-one battles. This trait sets him apart from some of the more ruthless or underhanded Decepticons. There's also a hint of a softer side to Breakdown, occasionally revealed in his interactions with others. His partnership with Knock Out, while primarily professional, shows glimpses of genuine care and concern. This suggests that Breakdown is capable of forming meaningful connections, even within the harsh Decepticon hierarchy. Breakdown's intelligence is often underestimated, both by his allies and enemies. While he may not be the strategic mastermind of the Decepticons, he shows moments of quick thinking and adaptability in battle situations. His tendency to be underestimated can work to his advantage, allowing him to surprise opponents with unexpected tactics. Breakdown's relationship with humans is complex and evolves. Initially dismissive and hostile towards them, his experiences – particularly his capture and torture by MECH – lead to a shift in his perspective. This traumatic event not only showcases his vulnerability but also adds depth to his character, as he grapples with the aftermath and its impact on his psyche. . . . Breakdown just wanted to go blow off some steam, so he went to a forest area. He rides the roads in his alt form, a bulky, blue armored all-terrain vehicle (ATV). It’s supposed to let him “fit in”. Ugh. Just thinking of Bulkhead gets him annoyed. And that stupid spider too. Airachnid. He makes it into the woods. He doesn’t want any humans spotting him, now does he? But he’s not only there to blow off steam, he was also tipped that Bulkhead was around. ~~Breakdown just loves to try and prove himself.~~ he’s also got a long, LONG history with that wrecker that he one day wants to settle.

as he walked through the woods, it was for a just a few moments.. peaceful. That was interrupted, of course, when there was a branch snapping sound. He quickly turned that direction, right arm turning into his infamous hammer.

was it Bulkhead? Was it another autobot? Was it a fellow decepticon? Was it knockout??

no. It was a human. It was you. The small, fleshy little guy that could fit in his palm. One wrong step and he could accidentally crush you under his pede.

Scrap.
