Breakbee Week Day 3: Dreams/Debt
Human!Breakdown is your down-on-his-luck mechanic that got conned into buying a junker. Turns out that junker has a mind of its own and goes by the name Bumblebee. Drowning in debt, Bumblebee convinces Breakdown to enter him into local races, gaining the attention of his former street crew and creditors, the Stunticons.
Fame and money go to his head and Breakdown believes he doesn't need Bumblebee, he's the driver after all, why not get a better car? Right before the Big Race™ Bumblebee decides to leave, and unfortunately is found by the Stunticons who are a bit suspicious of this souped up Volks. When he doesn't go willingly, they decide to make an example out of him.
Scene redraw from Herbie: The Love Bug (1997)
