Product Description

It's long been an accepted piece of wisdom on VELOCITRON that you can't teach an old racer new tricks, but that was before the AUTOBOTS came to the Speed Planet. With the help of Coby and the intelligent application of some Earth technology, including dual superchargers, inter-cooled Energon exhaust ports and a diamond-sharp edge to his racing saber, BRAKEDOWN is feeling a thousand years younger. Yes sir, this old speed demon is back on the track! Detailed robot-to-vehicle beast figure features a flip-out racing saber in vehicle mode! Figure comes with CYBER PLANET KEY and instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nifty little Kup homage figure!, July 3, 2007

This is one neat-o little guy. I always liked the design of the regular Brakedown figure, but didn't care for the clear plastic wheels... a little too "Energon" for me. Here's a much better version of a great character! Brakedown's an obvious homage to the G1 character Kup, in that he's a crotchety old bot who has tons of tales to tell to the younger generation. Hasbro took that character, slapped some Kup-like paint on him, and gave us this really cool, new character. The transformation is smooth and easy-- not too messy or kibbly in bot mode. His weapon is an engine block with a flip out blade, and it stores on his back when not in use (I love that feature). In vehicle mode his weapon is incorporated so loose weapon storage isn't an issue. He's a free-wheeling futuristic racer with massive rear tires much like a funny-car. Overall, Brakedown is a sweet package of a scout class figure-- an excellent Transformer package for this price point!

My grandson loved this toy. It seemed to be pretty well made. It has withstood the rough play of a 5 year old pretty well so far.

My six year-old grandson is rather rough on toys and gets bored rapidly. We gave him three of this size Transformers for Christmas and they kept him entertained all day and he didn't break any of them!! That was a real surprise!
