Buyer Beware! KO Botcon Breakdown, Punch and More.

Was the G1 painted version of Breakdown officially released?

NNNOOOOoooo. Although I would buy one if it was.

Finally a G1 Deluxe Breakdown that will take its place in my G1 Stunticons composed of SDCC Nemesis Prime with commander armor, SE Dragstrip, Movie Swerve, and Henkei Wildrider

It it's a G1 Classic Breakdown, it's not Hasbro. They didn't make one.

we can only hope the head on punch isnt tiny like the hasbro version, why was the head so damn small

It's pretty obvious Scamper is a KO as there is no Classics version for him. I would be interested in Scamper and G1 Breakdown myself. W/ the closing of KOToys I need to find out where to get these figures now. Would still like to get my hands on a KO Wildrider and if there is one, a KO Dragstrip.

They already KOed Drag Strip.

Hasbro already released a few official breakdown toys.
here's a link with pics of the Revenge of the fallen basic/scout sized Breakdown toy:

I thought this was a excellent updated homage as they nailed the proper size scale in relation to how the 1985 toy size was. it was also a decent updated homage as it was the right color,similar alt mode & it was very poseable.

YES finally i may possibly be able to buy breakdown at non-convention prices Hurah- Cough I mean this is bad this is stuff and things and bad again.......

And the icing on this awsome news is SCAMPER! who will look great next to my G1 metroplex!

1- Skyshadow originally came from the 1989 Japanese Takara TF victory cartoon series & toy line. the toy/charcter was originally called Blackshadow in 1989 but hasbro couldn't get the rights to the name or felt using Black would sound offensive. 1989 blackshadow was a recolor/remold using the 1988 Mega pretender thunderwing toy mold.

1a-It's worth mentioning in walmarts price scanner the generations skyshadow toy scans up as the following abbreviation: BLK SHDW,Which is abreviated for black shadow. so at one point hasbro was going to use the original 1989 black shadow name but changed their minds at the last minute.

2- as most in this thread already noted,this isn't scamper. Scamper was a 100% black colored mold. this is meant to be another tranasformers character/toy as this toy is colored black & white.
