Description

There are a few Combiner Wars-style releases that were never made available at US retail. One of these was the Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron Set, which gave the CW Cyclonus mold a more toy-accurate paint job and four guys to serve as limbs for his combined form. I picked it up for Roller, but I've found myself encouraged to make use of the other limbs in the set.

This is the Zombie Breakdown figure from that set, taking the Offroad toy from Combiner Wars and giving him a paint job based on Breakdown as he appeared in "Transformers: Prime". I bought a part from Shapeways to give him his distinctive hammer weapon, and painted it to try and match up with his paint job. Not an exact match, but there you are. And because I already plan to make use of the G1 version of Breakdown for both my collection and my storyline, I've rechristened this toy "Wildbreak" after one of the Stunticons from the followup series to "Prime", "Robots in Disguise".

The part is available here on Shapeways - www.shapeways.com/product/FLY2… - and was painted using Testors Spray Enamel Semi-Gloss Primer, Testors Spray Enamel Gloss Metallic Silver, and Testors Model Master Semi-Gloss Lacquer Overcoat.
