Brakedown (Energon)



Brakedown is a Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy.

Brakedown is one of the many Autobot-allied Mini-Cons who defend the deposits of raw Energon ore from the Terrorcons and Decepticons. He is teamed up with Clocker and Override.

Energon (Unreleased)
A planned redeco of the Armada Street Speed Mini-Con Team member Oval, Breakdown transforms into a Saleen S7 luxury car. The coloration of the entire Team is a "one-off" of the colors of the Super Stunt Mini-Con Team.

Ultimately, Brakedown was never released at retail. Originally intended to be packed in with Energon Ultra Magnus, the Street Speed redeco Team was displayed at OTFCC 2003, and the original versions were even pictured on the original Ultra Magnus boxes (Magnus himself appearing in Overload colors on the box, as he and Armada redecoes were very late additions to the very early part of the line). In the end, the Team was replaced with a redeco of the Space Mini-Con Team. Later releases of Ultra Magnus' box in other markets were altered to reflect this change.

Since Hasbro had gone through the process of trademarking the names, they were later used in the Cybertron line for three inhabitants of Velocitron.

The same mold is used by Flat-Out and Nightscream, and a retooled version was used for Plug.
