It makes the most sense for Bulkhead to be threatened, as he's the least developed character next to Bumblebee, who's practically mute. He's also the only character on the cast without a G1 analogue, and he just feels non-essential. Arcee's the token girl, Prime's the leader, Ratchet's plot exposition, and Bumblebee's the kid appeal character.

Breakdown was a major character in the series. He was the one of the 7 main cast Decepticons in Prime. So what are you talking about "minor character?"
Bulkhead is not the only character on the cast without a G1 analogue. Sure, he's the only Autobot, but Knock Out & Airachnid join him there as well. Let us not forget Vehicons did not exist in G1 either.
Well, I put all of that in spoiler because I didn't want to break the hidden text he created.

Bulkhead is the only member of the autobot cast who has no G1 analogue, is what I said

Tell that to Breakdown.
I agree with you there Saberblade. I've loved TF Prime as a series so far, but I've felt there are many characters that are stuck in a rut. Be it Arcee, who quickly went from interesting in the first season, to a predictable loose canon in the second, or Breakdown, who was looking to be a complex Decepticon, maybe even calling in question of his allegiance in the future, and they take him out without even having it tie into him and Bulkheads rivalry.
I can't say I wanted Bulkhead to die, and the character is one of the better ones (I'd hate to be stuck with just Ratchet as the last interesting Autobot) but still, I'd like to see more depth. Get some of these characters out of this rut of storytelling.
And kill of Rafe. I can't tell you how much I hate Rafe.

I'm sorry, but where exactly was it stated that Breakdown was a main character? He was a secondary character, at best.PrimeStriker wrote:Even if Breakdown got less and less screen time, which he did, he was still considered part of the main cast, regardless of that fact.

Hey, hey. People can watch a series or cartoon and dislike a character. It does not mean they have to stop watching the show. I hate Miko, Airachnid, Bulkhead, and Arcee's constant revenge plot, but that doesn't mean I hate the show.
Bulkhead's my least favorite character and I was hoping he was going to die this episode.

When Silas makes his comeback it's gonna pack some pretty good emotion between bulk head and what is ever left of breakdown. They could make it so breakdown is still "alive" Just trapped in limbo. Bulkhead goes out of his way to save breakdown and explains his rivalry. Maybe Breakdown was a wrecker who defected to the decepticons?
