We have a Cyberverse piece of crap figure here in the states, but that's about it.
It's OK to call it like it is: a piece of crap. There are some great little figures in the Prime Cyberverse line (especially the excellent CJ mold), but Breakdown is probably the worst. The worst part about it is the baffling decision to make it Legion-class instead of Commander-class, which means you can't even display it with the other Cyberverse figures as it's a different scale. It's got a bad design, too, but that's a product of them forcing it into such a small scale.

If I may conjecture about that, the probable reason Breakdown is a legion is because the only other legion Decepticons were the Vehicons (disregarding the residual movie figs), and Knock Out was initially only packaged in the playset. Meanwhile the Autobots had Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, and Cliffjumper in the Legion ranks. I feel like either Ultra Magnus or Ironhide's commander slot should have been given to Breakdown instead.

*Wheeljack w/
Jackhammer Star Hammer
*Quick Blade Bumblebee
*Fallback
*Tailgate
*Bumblebee w/ Battle Suit

*Smokescreen w/ Sky Claw
Decepticon Legions*Vehicon
*Breakdown
*Knock Out w/ Driller
*
Annoying Orange Knock Out

Ironhide would have made more sense as a Legion, anybody else agree?

I don't. He's perfectly fine as a commander.

I just mean that scalewise it would have made more sense for him in a Legion, which would have opened a Commander spot for Breakdown.

Importing Breakdown is totally worth the cost, especially if you're collecting show characters. Dreadwing is a no-brainer also (for the Hasbro version). Rubber parts and all, he's still an excellent figure that looks awesome in both modes (just don't look at the bottom of the plane mode
).
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.
And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

I have both and in my opinion, the only sticker that MUST be applied is the Decepticon insignia on Jet Vehicon's chest. I left the other stickers off of both figures and they look great in both modes.
