"Typically Meltdown has a wild crazed look. Fat folds hang from his chin, arms, legs, and belly. On each of his small hands, Meltdown has a thumb and two fingers, each ending in a claw. He has four clawed toes on each foot and four spikes on the tail that drags behind him." – Treasure Planet: A Voyage of Discovery

Meltdown is one of John Silver's Pirate Crew in Treasure Planet. He is a semi-reptilian pirate who join to find treasure.

Meltdown is one of the five remaining survivors, along with Birdbrain Mary, OnusOxy and Moron who soon later arrested after the mutiny.

Background[]

Development[]

During the film production, when it somewhat comes to the pirate crew, Meltdown is one of the characters to be created by Sam Levine and Adam Dysktra.

Personality[]

According to "A Voyage of Discovery" itself, Meltdown is a wild crazy but both a coward, heartless, and rude, also provoked easily about regarding his weight, as he rears in to kill Doppler for doing so, but that distraction leads to his arrest alongside the remaining pirates.

Physically appearance[]

Meltdown is an unnamed tan semi-reptilian pirate with horns (one of which a gold ring hangs from), antennae protruding from his head, and he sprouts a tail that is as thick as his legs having small claws, and very overweight. Wore in a opening, armless dark-brownish jacket with bluish-grey shorts.

Appearance[]

Treasure Planet[]

Meltdown is first seen inside the ship as an specialist, as the RLS Legacy ship prepares to launch, while as also who he along with all of them were actually secretly as pirates, describing as "ludicrous parcel of driveling galoots".

Meltdown again soon at talking with OnusOxy and Moron until gets looked by Jim.

He soon later meeting up with the others about they almost blowing up the mutiny plan, which makes Silver so furious and he makes him sure that all of them need to stick the plan as a hired understanding crew.

During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova. While securing lifelines of all pirates so that they will not get lost, Jim saves Silver from falling just in time.

The supernova then devolves into a black hole, where Arrow falls to his death. The burst of shock waves and maximum engine power enable Amelia to pilot the ship to safety. Amelia mourns the loss of Arrow, and suspects Jim of failing to secure the lifelines, while Arrow's line was actually cut by Scroop.

As part of the pirate crew of John Silver, Meltdown is shown to be a cannon's expert, which is demonstrated when he fires with great accuracy at several incoming asteroids during the destructive meteor shower as well as the longboat that Jim Hawkins, Captain Amelia, and Dr. Delbert Doppler were just escaping in during the pirates' siege on the RLS Legacy.

Meanwhile, Meltdown and the pirates corner the group here; using a back door, Jim, B.E.N., and Morph return to the ship in an attempt to recover the map. He is later provoked easily to any opprobrious insult regarding his heavy weight, as he rears in to kill Doppler for doing so. However, this distraction leads to his arrest alongside the remaining crew.

Despite his arrest, Meltdown is last seen cheering along with the other four crew members for Jim for saving them from the exploding planet.
