I think Red Leader's user details got lost in the wipe, he signed up August/Sept and the wipe went back further, Jun/July time.

Creds to all of you though!

Where they, where they are, where they are, where they are?????
I want those too, considereted the both mine.

I already have the Hasbro re-issue of Hoist, but i will be getting Trailbreaker. Here's hoping they touch up his face so it's more accurate.

They've got the rights to the name back?

Joy.

This is indeed some very cool news!

Excelent, finally new Encore figures have been announced . I already have Hasbro's Hoist reissue, but I'll buy Trailbreaker for sure. I was expecting more decepticons though.

Hasbro is not reissuing these figures. This is TakaraTomy reissuing them. As far as we know, Hasbro doesn't have the rights to the name, though they could opt to add the 'Autobot' to the from of the name to get around the copyright. Most likely Hasbro won't reissue Trailbreaker given the Reissue line has been dead the past few years.

Cool. Finally I can get a Trailbreaker. Now c'mon Takara, Encore Blitzwing Already.

I am all over that Trailbreaker.

Sweet!

boo more autobots...
but atleast i don't have them

Two more I need!

The poor Encore 'cons are getting very outnumbered though.

I have to say I'm a little let down with Takara's choice for 12 and 13...I'll be buying both of them because the prices on the Hasbro and book-style Takara versions have gotten a bit steep on both of these but there were many more G1 series 1-4 Transformers I was hoping for...

ANY Headmaster.
Targetmaster Blurr.
Blitzwing.
Insecticons.
Decepticon/Autobot cassettes .

Oh well.

HELL. YES.

Trailbreaker was strangely my favorite Autobot growing up, yet I've never got around to doling out the cash for an original since I started collecting. Now my wallet can get a break :3

Now all we need is a Universe Trailbreaker and I'll be all set.

Ditto. I got an original a few months back but he's kinda decrepted. Definately want a new one.

Trailbreaker's the last 1984/85 Autobot I need, woooooo!

If they'd only release Shockwave and Devastator I'd finish the Decepticons as well.

Hoist is cool but so done multiple times. Trailbreaker though..... YIPPEE!

If there was one character that desperately needed a reissue/update, Trailbreaker was the one.

Simply awesome news.

This is great news(assuming it's true), I've been wanting Trailbreaker for ages - he was such a great character in the early episodes but is now all but forgotten.

There's still so many great guys to be Encored... wish Takara would crank'em out alittle faster, my wallet be damned.

Great news!
We've been waiting so long for them to be announced I wondered if they were going to continue the line.
There are others I would like to have seen released ahead of them but I'm still happy

Agreed. Its probably more than about time to reissue Trailbreaker.

Hoist was a TRU reissue, was he released as part of the TFC series also?

Glad I didnt get the ehobby reissue of Trailbreaker, that one is bloody expensive. Definitely grabbing him

I will have to see if there is any real difference between my TRU reissue hoist and the Encore hoist before layout out money for #14

Alright! Trailbreaker and Moist!

I smiled when I read that. Trailbreaker was my first ever TF. I still have him, but he's seen better days. It'll be nice to have a display worthy one. I have an original Hoist too as well as the Hasbro reissue so I'll pass on him. I actually thought Trypticon was going to be one of these when I first saw the thread, but TB will be alot easier on the ol' wallet.

Wow. I haven't seen these 2 guys for a long long long time. These are one of my favorites back in the 80s.

I was kinda hoping they'd do a Universe version of them instead.

Anyway, i will have a good time looking at these in the toy shops. Maybe make the trips more often.

(I'm not gonna buy Encore anymore. Classics will take its place.)

Oh hell yes.

I was majorly disappointed. I freaked out when I saw the thread title because I was anticipating Trypticon or a combiner gift set.
Trailbreaker is okay, but I find Hoist fail.

Well, I'm excited to get a Trailbreaker reissue. It doesn't help me complete the 84' Autobot cars line-up but it does put me a step closer. Hopefully these are individual releases and not a two pack because I already have the TRU Hoist reissue.

If they are numbered separately (ie - 13&14) then they should be individual releases as the Thundercracker & Skywarp two pack was listed just as Encore 11.

Cool I never owned Trailbreaker and I want a better condition hoist so I will definately get them both. I wonder if they will have any differences from the originals.

YES!! I am getting closer to completing the 1984 Autobot lineup. Now if they'll just reissue Sunstreaker, Wheeljack & Mirage.....two of which I know have mold issues....

Finally, something I did pays off! I've been holding back on getting a vintage Trailbreaker, good versions go for at least $100, like I said I was hoping for a re-issue, and low and behold, here comes TakaraTomy making my hope come true.

Next on my list, TaTo would be G1 Skorponok. For the same reason, I have not gone after a fully complete version vintage version. Plus, I have Black Zarak, so that can help with the patience a bit.

Make it so.

I totally know what you mean. After passing on the original at a store in 1985, I have regretted that ever since. I since bought a vintage G1 Trailbreaker but he just wasn't minty enough for my liking.

I regret tearing off the arm and losing all of the armor to Jetfire.

If only I somehow could have known it would be worth hundreds, if not thousands MISB in 08'!

Stupid parents..always letting me open my toys and break them.

Ain't that the whole truth? The eHobby reissue is ex-pen-sive.
