Identify this Trailbreaker?
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 1:18 pm
I just bought a 1982 pre-rub black Trailbreaker with the marking "TAKARA CO., LTD." "JAPAN 1982" on his foot. My understanding is that the Transformers brand did not exist until 1984, and that I may have instead bought a Joustra Toyota Diaclone.
Here is a link to the auction so that you guys can see the images.

I know that he has the Autobot symbol on him, but that could have been added at any time.
Here is a link to an article about the Joustra Toyota.

Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
