The sad thing is, if we even get a Voyager Breakdown here in the U.S. (and that's a BIG if), Hasbro will likely do a totally NEW and inferior mold, which will be ugly, undersized, have barely a particle of paint, and will come with the most inaccurate weapons it is possible to equip him with.

Seems like the regular pattern there.

It's not a big "IF", it's a big "IF NOT". And it will be that mold, sans micron ports. Making entirely new molds of Japan's stuff is Bandai's schtick. I don't know why everybody thinks we're not getting Breakdown in the US. True, he was ignored at Botcon, but there's this little event that Hasbro usually attends coming up in a few months called the San Diego Comic Con where we tend to get little announcements about insignificant toylines that happen to include Transformers. All bets are that Breakdown will get his formal Hasbro announcement there. With the production and release schedules, Botcon can't be the big debut event anymore. Just the facts.

i can't recall that pattern ever actually happening.. i mean.. takara is the company not using paint anymore lol.

plus.. hasbro has given us voyager starscream, knockout, vehicon, wheeljack, soundwave, and ratchet... which are really great figures..

hasbro should get it's ass reamed when they mess up like they did with the first editions .. and potentially breakdown.. but they should also get praised when we get incredible molds like the ones i've listed above.

also.. with the weapons.. takara's weapons aren't exactly accurate either. to me, a lot of them look like fisher price versions of their on show weapons. .. they're oversized, they sort of have the right shape to them.. but there's just something off. i don't really care for these little arms micron things, but hey, you have to pick your poison because hasbro's voyager weapons aren't any better, (though dreadwings looks like it could work) but the price for hasbro's is more palatable..

really looking forward to mini fort max, hope they do Encore the real thing though. looks like they upsized gora for darkness megs, but i kinda prefer the Deluxe megatron's micron on my voyager megs, looks like a better fit to me and the vac metal isnt working for me on DM either. im getting that jet vehicon and i may try for a future re-release of breakdown
