Groundbreaker (08-15-09)
Transformer of the Day for August 15, 2009
GROUNDBREAKER
-Faction: Autobot (Pretender)
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Ground Trooper
-Motto: “The First One In Is the First One to Win“
-Notable Toy: Deluxe (Hasbro, 1988)
Notes: One of the second wave of three Autobot Pretenders, Groundbreaker’s shell features an animalistic-styled chest piece that nonetheless leaves his face unobscured. While the head sculpt on the Pretender shell is reminiscent of the original G.I.Joe Infantry Officer, Grunt, Groundbreaker has more in common with the 1988 Joe figure, Spearhead, if Spearhead were to wear a uniform reflective of his cat, Max.
