The name Brakedown was originally applied to a Mini-Con in the Transformers: Energon. For some reason, the toy's release was cancelled and the name was be re-applied to an Autobot in Transformers: Cybertron. He was a redeco of the Mini-Con Oval.
He is a robot native to Velocitron, the Speed Planet.
Hasbro registered the name Brakedown for U.S. Trademark in October 2003.
An old racer on his last lap, Brakedown was the fastest around in his day. He knows every inch of track on the Speed Planet, and while his systems cannot keep up with the supercharged speed of younger robots this old speed demon's still got one or two tricks up his sleeve. With his pipes rusting through and his suspension growing brittle with age, he's got to rely on Clocker, to whom he's passed his knowledge of the Great Race. Brakedown transforms into a Speed Planet-model dragster. By using a Cyber Key, he can deploy a blade from his engine block.
The oldest living resident of Velocitron, Brakedown's days as racing champion are long behind him. Instead, he functions as a mentor to younger robots. His past students include Override, who went on to win the Planet Cup and become the leader of Velocitron. His current protégé is Clocker.
