I'm sorry, but where exactly was it stated that Breakdown was a main character? He was a secondary character, at best.
The only Decepticons who we can really call "main characters" are Megatron and Starscream Though, the latter is just barely holding onto that position since he started appearing much less often than he used to, and the former only really gained that title after becoming a full-timer when he woke up.
Knock Out's real close to joining the ranks of the main cast members, while Soundwave consistently remains in the background as a secondary. Dreadwing's also a secondary, but only because of how new he is and how little he's appeared compared to the others.
Airachnid started as a guest star, then took on a more pivotal role in which she grew to feel more like a main character, only to fall back into secondary member territory and then get reduced to "minor character" status by being taken out for a good while.
No need to bring up guest stars like Skyquake, Makeshift, the Warship, or Hardshell (though, the latter may potentially become a minor, or even a secondary character if he's lucky enough).
What we got:
- Main/major characters - Megatron, Starscream (barely)
- Secondary characters - Knock Out (almost major), Breakdown (deceased), Soundwave, Dreadwing (currently)
- Minor characters - Airachnid (currently, former guest-turned-major)
- Guest characters - Skyquake, Makeshift, Hardshell (currently), the Warship
