Courtesy of Higekumatoytoy we've now got new pictures of AM-12 Breakdown from the Arms Micron line. You'll find size comparisons in both vehicle mode and robot mode, the figure with and without the stickers applied. Check out some of the pictures below or click here to see all the pictures.

We've already seen one set of AM-12 Breakdown in-hand images, but considering the interest in this figure here's another look from our friend Alfes 2010. The full gallery can be found by clicking here, but we've mirrored a selection of his images below including a couple with his arch nemesis Bulkhead!

SO AWESOME. I need it.

Truck mode is ugly, robot mode is simplistic. A pass.

That's pretty much how he looks in the show, I'll take one!

Ever since I saw the first pics of this there has just been something about the design that reminds me way to much of Movie Ratchet from 2007. I still love the Ratchet figure but I remember being horribly disappointed at how simplistic it was for a Voyager class figure. I get the exact same vibe off this thing only without any of the novelty involved that would sway me to buy it. I'll have to pass on this one.

Awesome mold. But the minicon is useless. I hope we see it stateside

(anyone else remember when we didn't have to wonder if a mold would make its way to the US)

How I long for those days, especially when we didn't have to worry about finding store shelves infested with a yellow hive.

We'll probably get this figure. But it will probably be the black silas one. I really want BLUE BREAKDOWN though.

DAT MOLD.

Looks Grand in both modes, and the mini rhino works so well here (hammer time joke anyone?). This is one figure I wish so hard makes it over here. Pleeeease. and then release the little minicon as his weapon. its perfect. :3

mewonders how he scales next to FE Bulkhead. By the scale of the RiD Bulk, I assume Breakdown's shorter than the FE Bulk.

this looks really awesome, especially next to the BHead
even the AMicron is pretty cool

Great figure, hate the stickers, they should paint on the details instead.

That minicon would make a pretty decent Ramhorn with a lick of paint

i like him i know he has stickers on but my god he looks so plain it looks like the whole chest needs a make over maybe something a bit like hounds RL.

Got mine this morning, im seriously impressed. Engineering feels close to FE quality (must be the Takara exclusivity showing through haha) and its fairly complex. The AM figure is ok, tbh i hate stickering mine, just looks tacky. Not decided whether to apply few of breakdowns stickers or break out a gundam marker.

May not be everybodies taste, but he is good. Its just a pity the 3 FOC and Hegemon all arrived with him today from Kapow and im scrambling to try them before i go to a concert.

Some of you IMHO cannot be pleased! This mold looks great! Plain!?!? Have you even watched the show?!? Pretty much how he looks on the show! The pose ability looks fantastic. The minion here has got to be ten times better than whatever gimmick weapon the hasbro version has (assuming it ever makes it the US!

They really should warn about militant kneejerk reactions on day one orientation into the fandom. Let people have their opinions, then slap the toy in their hand and prove them wrong

Breakdown is a great figure
