The more I see the more I can't help but feel this isn't coming our way in America. Why I don't know. I've said it before and I'll say it again- if Breakdown doesn't get an American release I am DONE with Transformers and Hasbro. They can have it. I don't even care if he comes with a huge mess of a mechtech weapon- just give us a Voyager Breakdown!

Amazing mold. I'm hoping just as much as anyone that it will make it over to North America!

I thought i REALLY wanted Breakdown.

I don't care anymore.

Still a cool figure though.

Same here. Seems like the one photo that should've been taken.

I'm going to be unusually optimistic and say the lack of clear plastic may also suggest Breakdown was originally designed as a First Edition. It looks perfect enough. Please Hasbro, make it happen at SDCC.

Whoo-ho -

wait sec, you mean Swerve version will be an Autobot? - damn, :roll:

looks like I may have to bite the bullet and get this one because my Decepticons are kinda out numbered on my shelf

I preordered mine because I have a bad taste left in my mouth from what happened to us in the U.S. on the FE Prime Voyagers. I was sure they were coming our way so I didn't bother ordering mine from BBTS, TfSource or others.

Then sure as sh@! they end up deciding they would change the mould and not make the FE versions for U.S. market. I mean at least we got our Voyagers for this line, but if my dumb ass wants a FE one I am going to pay a cool $100 or more for it.

I am not taking any chances this time. I also figure that at SDCC 2012 Hasbro will let us know what's coming our way for this year at least. ( I even take that with caution as they have screwed us that way too.)

To me they are just toys and I am not going to freak out if things don't pan out, but for now I am at least sure I am getting a Breakdown for my Prime Con set.
