The meat and muscle of the Decepticons in Transformers: Prime will be making quite the addition to this year's popular toyline. Takara Tomy's toy panel at Cybertron Con 2012 in Singapore treats us with prototype images of Transformers: Prime Breakdown. Under the moniker of Operation Breakdown, this is likely the Voyager Breakdown listed on BBTS back in January. The figure is expected to be released this June. Check out the prototype below!

That. Is. Awesome.

I wonder, with or without the eyepatch. Probably with. Adam Baldwin would be proud.
All we need is Airachnid and I'll have the best couple on Prime.

Perfect! Can't wait to see more!

That is possibly one of the best looking voyagers I have seen, and that's just the prototype! I can't wait for Airachnid either. Well done to the design team :APPLAUSE:

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised and shocked.

1.) He's a Voyager. (*queue up the Ratchet fans whining about Deluxes and Voyagers...*)
2.) He seems rather complex. (A welcome change of pace, seeing as PRID's been rather easy.)
3.) I know people are going to say not to worry, but I think it's fair to do so. Don't you find it at least a little odd that we're seeing a TakaraTomy solicitation of this guy and none from Hasbro. (I know, I know, YET. We haven't heard about it from Hasbro yet. Still, I present a valid point.)

Welp, I know I'm sold, that is really gorgeous looking, and you bet your sweet patootie that a third party'll do the eyepatch if he doesn't have it.

The term "couple" is being used kinda loosely there, wouldn't you say? :-B

I wonder what stupid weapon they'll give him. Doesn't PRiD Bulkhead already have his hammer?

"WATCH HIM OUT!"

What?

Well done Takara.

Pick your game! Will we play: "how will Hasbro find a way to take a big ol' gouge out of the enjoyment of their version" or "watch the American toy company utterly fail at bringing a toy to retail?"

Looks great so far.

I dropped a preorder on BBTS, since no word is forthcoming from Hasblow, and I'm not getting screwed like I did with the FE stuff.

lol, yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

This looks so awesome though. I just hope Hasbro doesn't mess it up.

by **WolfDawg** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:49 am

I'm really liking this figure, but I'm very weary of trusting Hasbro with anything that looks remotely cool. Seeing as how this is the first TF line where I actually WANT to get the entire main cast, I think I'll preorder with BBTS just to be safe.

It's really a shame when the fandom is this gunshy about placing their trust in Hasbro. :-(

That looks killer.

Hammer time

by **CrimsonPrime** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 1:44 pm

One word....AWESOME !!! Looks like I'll be buying 2 Voyagers from PRID line. Skyquake and Breakdown. He looks amazing. Alt mode looks too bulky but meh that's fine by me since I always pictured him as an over-muscle decepticon.

PS : I dont mind if it's only by Takara since I have a local store that sells latest Takara toys. Cant wait for this guy

by **RazorSlash92** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:16 pm

Hm, a bit iffy on this one. Then again, I'm not a fan of his design in the show to begin with.

by **frogbat** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:34 pm

i have first edition prime and bulkhead.. don't care for megs but bulkhead is very likely going to get his decepticon counterpart to battle it out!

by **Optimus1116** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:43 pm

I hope that this actually has a respectable hammer, not that Mech-tech stuff. (At least a detachable hammer from the mechtech...)

by **Starparu** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:09 pm

Well this the PRID Figure I have been waiting to see, and Boy am I impressed, If that Is just a prototype, I can't wait to see the final one.
