Listen to the lyrics! They say Breakdown as much as they say Shakedown

Does anyone know what's the story behind the Stunticon symbol?

Wow.

It's a nice repaint/re-heading, and a very Animated re-heading at that, but just not my cup of tea.

The big question now is, how much of my trip to Cali could I cover if I sold this set and the exclusive sets :-?

Oh. I thought we were getting a hint as to who was going to re-painted. That seems like the real reveal, not which of the Stunticons would be released next. I mean, there are only five of them, but endless repaint possibilities.

I guess "Tom Petty" would've been too obvious, since he actually did Breakdown's theme song. The chorus repetition of, "Breakdown, it's all right...it's all right...it's all right" was clearly meant to comfort the Stunticons' resident paranoid-schizophrenic and reassure him that the traffic lights weren't watching him.

Any chance they'll make the most of the new head sculpt and exclusive Roddy body and do a G2 colors animated Breakdown as the attendee figure?

Since I don't have Hot Rod, but really liked the look of the mold, I'm sorely tempted by this. Will have to wait till it's in my hands to decide if it's a keeper though... :9

I used to love Beverly Hills Cop 2 when I was growing up and one of the songs that I can remember most from its soundtrack was a song called "Breakdown", cant remember who it was by though.

Website · by **Rodimus_NZ** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 3:38 pm

"Breakdown" was the name of one of the main songs on the soundtrack of Beverly Hills Cop 2

Look nice. Though the blue engine and exhaust pipes do look strange. Perhaps making them silver would have worked better.

That leaves Dragstrip and Wildrider. I'd say Dragstrip is Lockdown, and Wildrider is Blurr.

I'm still hoping Motormaster is made from Ultra Magnus, but that seems unlikely.

I think "Rod Kimble" would have been a better hint.

Dammit, I was hoping for Balki-Tron. :sad:

So, um, if anyone who really hates Breakdown's guts is going to Botcon, just hit me up, alright?

Website · by **Rodimus_NZ** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 3:51 pm

whoops silly me, teaches me to spout on about something that I half remembered from my childhood

The song is called Shakedown though breakdown is in the lyrics

Botcon Breakdown no. 3. Still, that is really cool. I like these more than I should.

Officially, 3, unofficially 4.

Well one of my predictions was correct and since they have a new head for this one i wonder how much retooling theyll actually do, enough to make wreckgar and possibly arcee usable for this set or just new heads? Im going to stick with my original predictions.

BotCon and Club figures, when retooled, only have new heads. BotCon 2007 Thrust was an exception, he got new wings.

To follow up on my previous post, I bring you the unofficial BotCon 2004 Action Master Breakdown.

unofficially 4? A 4th? which one was that?

by **Red 50** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 5:24 pm

Guess we can all guess that who's gonna be MotorMaster. That's probably gonna be Optimus.

Then there's also Probably gonna be a Blurr re-deco

Maybe even Lockdown's (should be without the hand-attachment)

We already have Jazz's (Dead-End)
And Rodimus's (Breakdown)

So, what do you think are the odds?

Or WreckGar maybe?

Don't forget that they could re-use a vehicle for one or more of the Stunticons... with a new head and paint job. Mind you, they don't usually do that within a boxed set, but it could happen.
