Ink City CR Chart

Knockout Out of all the Decepticon relationships, Breakdown's partnership with Knockout is probably considered the healthiest. They both have a large amount of respect towards each other's weaknesses and their strengths, making them a very effective team. Breakdown is Knockout's assistant, and is very devoted to his job, no matter how demeaning it can be at times. Fact of life: You mess with Knockout, and you get a giant hammer in the face. Their relationship goes a lot deeper than that, though both of them would love to deny this. Something has changed recently between them, and Breakdown isn't too sure what it is. SOMETHING has to be causing the strange awkward silences right?

Starscream Breakdown... actually respects the Decepticon Commander somewhat. Sure, he's no Megatron, but Breakdown can see that he's an able leader. That doesn't mean that he and a Vehicon or two won't talk about him behind his back though, his respect for him doesn't go THAT far. He is slightly resentful towards Starscream at the moment for blackmailing him. Knockout doesn't know where Breakdown's eyepatch came from, and the only other bot who knows what actually happened to it... Yeah, you can see where this is going.

Soundwave A really creepy bot that Breakdown doesn't really have much to do with. He doesn't hate Soundwave, but he doesn't particularly like him either. Breakdown is very respectful of Soundwave's abilities and is one of the many who know better than to challenge him. Breakdown does express some rare sympathy for Soundwave since the 'con is always getting bitched at by their Commander.

Megatron Frightening as all hell. There is no other person in the universe who terrifies Breakdown more than Megatron does. He knows what the Warlord is capable of, and there's no way that he's going to be on the receiving end of his rage if he doesn't have to be. All Megatron has to do is scowl, and Breakdown is almost immediately cowed.

Optimus Prime The Leader of the Autobots. Breakdown has fought Optimus Prime several times in the past, and knows full well that he doesn't want to tangle with the Autobot more than he has to. That doesn't mean that he can't hold his own against him of course, just that it'd probably be easier to motor out of there instead of fighting. Here in the city, Breakdown was led to believe that Optimus was the one who damaged Knockout (when in fact it was Tai Lung). Enraged, Breakdown attacked Optimus, and it took quite a bit on Optimus's part to calm him down enough to make Breakdown realize that he'd been lied to. Breakdown hadn't spoken to him since.

Bumblebee An annoying yellow insect who follows Optimus Prime wherever he goes. Very fast and can pack quite the punch when he wants to. Breakdown doesn't know anything about Bee beyond his fighting style.

Aisling Breakdown would like very, very much to pretend that Aisling doesn't matter to him at all. By principle, he hates organics and everything about them. There's something different about Aisling though, and he can't help but be swayed by her charms and childish demeanour. More than once he allowed himself to play with her, and both times he got caught, much to his embarrassment.

Kay A persistent and obnoxious human who seems to have a liking for Soundwave, which just makes her plain weird. She seems to know what happened to Breakdown's eye, though Breakdown can't remember telling her. He somewhat lives in fear that she'll talk to Knockout someday and completely blow his cover.
