I love ur Breakdown design what are ur head-canons for him??
omg wow thank you!! I have lots of different breakdown’s for different continuities but some ideas remain consistent, for this post i’ll focus on the version of breakdown from my swipedown post: (TW for drug abuse/implied abuse)
- He and the Stunticons are all brothers, with the order of their ages going Moma, Dead End, Breakdown, Drag Strip, and Wylee
- Out of all his siblings he’s the closest to Motormaster, and Motormaster tends to go a little easier on him (though it isn’t saying much)
- He has epilepsy
- He’s the second shortest of the stuntis (after Wildrider)
- He’s Menasor’s voice of reason to an extent, but the rest of the gestalt take it as anxious ramblings
- His military strategy is to play it safe, and while it doesn’t always work in his favor, the stunticons would benefit from a little hesitant before booking it towards the autobots
- He has a tooth gap bc of a fight he got in as a kid, his teeth shifted but they never fully closed, resulting in it
- Megatron is his father (whether by blood or a sense of duty depends)
- He is frequently ignored by both his father and his brothers. His quietness and anxiety tend to make him disappear, or annoy the others to a point of being pushed away. It’s only when he lets his anger out by causing a scene or smashing some bots does he get praised or disciplined
- He is relentlessly bullied by Drag Strip, whether for his looks, his anxiety, his constant worming up moma’s aft, anything really
- As much as he loves Sideswipe, Sunstreaker is more of a match for him in terms of a relationship. Sideswipe is a little too hectic and rowdy for his anxiety, whereas Sunstreaker’s bluntness and cruelty is more grounding for him, as it gives him a sense of comfort (though sunny does have a real soft spot for him, maybe even more so than sun’s own soft spot for his brother)
- Megatron had him on some anti anxiety pills for a while, and while it increased his efficiency on the battlefield, his paranoia and fear became ten times worse during downtime (this was the start of the turn of events that led him to join the autobots leave the decepticons
- he’s NOT an autobot (he thinks?)
- despite this, he still works as an autobot archivist/librarian, though his specialty is decepticon history
this is just the tip of the iceberg really! if this gets some traction i might go into more headcanons for Breaks and his other continuities, or even the stuntis and other characters (i would love to share the stuntis tbh) - thank you for reading!
