Sorry for being a wet blanket earlier Cary, I totally wasnt understanding what everyone was seeing.
But now I do, thanks to your article!
Ok now I get the G1 reference. By plugging it to his back, you end up with the ridge above his head and the antenas in the back like this:

I think the Gen Trailcutter has a good bot mode (it looks good standing with my other Lost Lighters), but a lackluster alt mode (it is very tiny).Seibertron wrote:Combiner Wars Trailbreaker is by far the first and only one of the Autobots Cars that is better (much better) than the not-so-great Generations "Trailcutter" that we got a couple of years ago. I'd love to have him with his proper chest and all but the rinky dink size of Trailcutter plus the very odd vehicle mode just didn't do it for me.
No worries. I had a good feeling that the hand would work this way once I got a good look at it. I'm very thankful Decepticon Sunstorm was gracious enough to humor me and forward along some pics.william-james88 wrote:Sorry for being a wet blanket earlier Cary, I totally wasnt understanding what everyone was seeing.

So that flat thumb doesn't help it stay put or fit any better than the other Offroad molds? It would seem odd that the hand has been redesigned so differently if there wasn't some type of special use in mind.optibotimus wrote:Except you don't actually plug anything in...you just kind of wedge the hand section into the cap behind his head. Not sure i would really say that's much of anything since it doesn't actually lock into any place. At least not that i can find on my figure

I still haven't warmed up to the CW mold yet. I think this helps a lot and differentiates it from the other Offroad reuses. The colors are very striking and I am digging that sweet flat top TB is sporting.No worries. I had a good feeling that the hand would work this way once I got a good look at it.

Now I feel I need to pick this figure up just out of curiousity.
