Courtesy of user cobra zartan over at TFW2005, we have images of another prototype for an upcoming figure: this time, it's Generations Trailbreakercutter! Take a look at the mirrored images below.

I can't wait for this wave to hit retail. So far they are all looking great.

Mostly agreed. I want three out of four, including him.

Trailcutter/Trailbreaker isn't a character I have a great deal of affection for, but I really like the aesthetics of both modes.

I really like this guy. Even though I'm not collecting generations, I fully intend to pick him up for my Prime collection. That chest reminds me a lot of Bulkhead so I think he'll fit in nicely.

Anyone feeling their inner Brainstorm, and itching to put GUNS in his LEGS? :)

Or a better accessory: his own glass of engex!

I'm mostly concerned with his rooftop gun/shield. I hope his vehicle mode doesn't suffer if the accessory goes missing, and that it stores properly in robot mode. If he can transform without needing to detach the roof, then even better.

How about the first set of Mini-Bots? We only need Brawn, Huffer and at the very least, Gears. In the second set, only Skids, Cosmos and Beachcomber are yet to be made.

I want a hand cannon for this guy not that big thing that attaches to his forearm...

I also wish the autobot symbol would have stayed on his chest in bot mode instead of being hidden.

The Hoist repaint needs his yellow wings too.

I hope some one will make an upgrade kit for these guys?

iGear is handling those guys for me. ;)

For some reason the shoulder don't look quite right. Either way I'll be getting him. It only too 9 years for a Classics Trailbreaker to be made.

It's looking good (despite the hollow legs). Really want to see him stood next to some Classics figures as I'm worried I'm going to be disappointed.

I like him, and I'll see about getting him, but I'd like him a lot more as Hoist. =P~

And that should complete my Autobot G1 scientists/engineers/medics list. :D

I like Classics style toys. I want this. I'm just not happy with the battle ready look of the alt mode. Those cannons really kill the concept of robots in disguise. :(

I was actually considering passing on this because of that stupid battle truck mode. But I can salvage this mess... I plan on throwing the canopy straight into the trash as soon as I get it. My Trailbreaker is going to be a pick-up truck. His projector will be hacked off and replaced with a G1 projector that will be pegged directly into the back of his head in robot mode only. Next, I'm going to paint his face black, and his visor blue. Then I'm going to wait for someone to design him a gun arm using Shapeways. :grin:
