Since I may be out of pocket for a couple of days, here is one more post in honor of BotCon 2010. This is the original Transformers: Generation 2 Breakdown! This figure was released in 1994 as an exclusive figure at the first BotCon. The toy is a direct remold and repaint of the original Generation One Breakdown. As such, his transformation is exactly the same in that you pull back on the rear of the car, unfold the legs, flip the hood back, and flip up the arms to form the robot mode. Great, but definitely hard to get, toy!The story behind this toy is really unique. Originally, Hasbro planned on rereleasing the Stunticons and Protectobots in the Transformers: Generation 2 toy line. An extremely limited number of figures actually made it to the packaging stage. However, with the line fading away, Hasbro cancelled the figures. The only one to ever see release was Breakdown when he was released as a BotCon 94 exclusive.
