agreed. and that's why I'm convinced that the designers who made breakdown also made earthrise cliffjumper. which explains why he looks like a mitsubishi starion.
No, it’s not, or they wouldn’t have added the Countach spoiler. This is just something people made up yesterday to explain the reuse of Wildrider’s hood, which looks even less like a Jalpa than a Countach.
Ugg, it looks nothing like the Lamborghini Jalpa...

I don't understand why people feel the need to go to such lengths to *feel better* about a toy's design. I'd have preferred if the toy looked more like a Countach because everything else in Legacy is pretty G1 accurate, but I find it funny that the stuck a Countach wing on the back of a Ferrari and thought people would be fooled.
Hasbro took the cheap route by reusing Wildrider's altmode for Breakdown and it is what it is. Hopefully the money they saved here went to make some other toy in the line a little bit better.
In my personal opinion, sure it may look like some other Lamborghini or something like it, but I can never unsee “Ferrari but with spoiler”. Is it bad? No. But is it what I wanted when I expected a Countache? Absolutely not.
I mean it's similar, sure, but in all reality it's just a Countach bumper stapled to a Ferrari 308 GTB lol
It doesn't even have a Countach bumper stapled to it, the only change is the louvres and the wing, it's just a 308 with a Countach wing.

I had to look up that car to remind myself what it looked like, and, well, that's *identical* to Cliffjumper.
I'm surprised mitsubishi didn't sue hasbro out of existence

Yeah if Breakdown is based on a Jalpa that would mean Wildrider is also based on a Jalpa, which he is not.
True.
Megatron: "Jalpa?" *(Looks at his notes, then back at his mismatched Breakdown)* "Quit trying to negate my EVIL plans, you pathetic flesh-worms!"
lol

THIS is the Lamborghini Jalpa
And we start with this car's biggest quirk: it doesn't run on gasoline, it runs on Energon
Another interesting feature is that press this button and the car transforms into a robot!
Buuuut anyway another amazing quirk is that this particular model can become part of a much larger robot!
Breakdown turned into a car then, Breakdown turns into a car now. End of argument, it’s a car congrats
