My, we are a passionate bunch of plastic toy lovers, aint we!
Nice to hear Beelzeboss are back with something new.
This looks like a cool set for Trail* (blazer;breaker;cutter - *delete as necessary).
So we will be getting a pair of replacement hands and transparent 'force shield' to stand in front of the figure... I just hope this set is priced under the £14/$20 price tag or I will be giving this set an unfortunate miss?
Yea, this should be fairly cheap, unless they decide to include the back-mounted missiles.
Just realized, the two pics of the toy is just Trail-thingy with artwork of the hands and shield, until now I thought it showed prototypes.

No dude Trailbreacker was a defensive strategist he always had a forcefield this set is replicating him using the force field. It is really cool and gives fans the ability to display him in a new unique way.
It's useless, Rated X will never ever
ever get the concept of non-G1 characters.
Last time I checked, Trailbreaker was a G1 character. Sure IDW had a ball with the G1 cast. But nothing beats the original.
I think I have you on a technicality, this time.
The character's, and figure's, name is Trail
cutter.
True. But isn't "Trailcutter" just a "We couldn't get the license for Trailbreaker" type of name by Hasbro? Isn't he named Trailbreaker in the IDW comic?
On the upgrade set itself, I recall G1 Trailbreaker emits his force field through something on his back in the cartoon as seen in the famous Rainmakers scene. Having it shoot from his hands is way too super heroish for me. As you can imagine, I’m not an avid comic book reader, mainly because I hate superheroes.
No his name is Trailcutter in the comics.
The toy is supposed to be idw Trailbreaker/ Trailcutter, this set gives him his signature ability and further reflects his comic incarnation. There is nothing to complain about here at all. It's a comic accurate accessory set for a comic character.
You want a more G1 accurate thing? Check shapeways.
And comics aren't just Superheroes, that like saying I don't watch TV because I hate documentaries.
I get what your saying. But I'm not the only person calling for add-ons to make Hasbro "Trailcutter" more G1 cartoon accurate. Read the "Things 3rd parties should make" thread. It's been suggested by others.
I never said all comic books are superheroes. As a teen, I loved me some Dark Horse comics. From what I've seen of IDW's work, they're like the new Dark Horse. But even with some good stuff out there, when you think comic books it's hard not to picture the stereotypical men wearing tight spandex costumes with weird powers. Either that or bubble gum stuff like Archie and Jughead. That's just a conclusion a majority of non-comic book readers would think. Not saying it's 100% accurate. It is what it is.
Here's the thing, you came in here complaining about it while failing to understand what it is, then once it's been explained to you, you keep going on arguing why you're right. Seriously, it's getting old real old.
Whenever you don't understand something or have no idea what it is, you complain and bitch, and when it's explained to you you keep on bitching and complaining and arguing your point as if you even had one to begin with, the most hilarious one being Hasbro "stealing" the more accurate MP Starscream from iGear.
Adn you said you don't read comics because you hate Superheroes, which is just as stupid as me stating I don't watch TV because I hate documentaries. It's right there in the quote tree and in your original post, so don't try to pass it off as if I misinterpreted what you said, I am after all not you.
