The Energon Pub

Thanks to ACToys memmber 11-11 we have a trio of in-hand images of Hasbro's soon to be released Transformers Generations Deluxe Trailcutter. This version of Trailcutter is inspired be his recent appearances in IDW's Transformers comics and will packed with a copy of his Transformers: Spotlight comic. Images mirrored below.

So much win. Gimme!

I'm sold cause it's not Bumblebee or Optimus!

I'm thinking I'll see this guy 1 or 2 times total @ brick & mortars. From the buzz on here, he's not going to stay on those pegs for long...

I wonder if this set of Generations will stick on shelves for as long the FOC line. Seems like that FOC line has been up for years...

Yes plz..

Gorgeous.

Hopefully this means we're not too far from the beginning of the Thrilling 30 line.

And the cancellation of the FoC Wreckers...

But then who will face off against my Fall of Cybertron Bruticus amongst my shelves?

To be fair though, the only other true combiner team I have is the Energon Air Team, all I need is Windrazor and a replacement Storm Jet, then boom, instant Classics Superion stand-in.

Looks great!

lol. check out the stripes on the side. now thats retro. where are they on the botmode? looks awesome though.

They look like they end up on his arms, but that's just a guess.

So the whole pop top becomes his weapon and only has two tiny little guns attached?

Seems like a cop out, but I guess it'll be necessary for Hoist. Good looking figure otherwise though.

If it were up to me, I would have made it to where one could take the two little guns off the top and have two little pistols, and have a little riot shield as an extra bonus.

But that's just me.

hoping the weapon wont weigh too much and pull the shoulder out of place in botmode

So wait. Is Hoist coming out too, or have I missed getting him?

Both of them haven't even been released yet. You haven't missed a thing.

Hoist is a retool of Trailcutterbreaker.

I wish the bot mode looked different/better. Not entirely convinced i like this figure. The alt mode is great though.
I've been wanting a Trailbreaker for eons and i kinda envisioned something different in bot mode.
I'll get em if i see him i guess. Just not as stoked as i thought I'd be.

Right off the hop i'll say i'm not a fan of the wee pointy feet and the chest. It makes him look sort of tubby.
I don't know.....something just ain't sittin right for me in bot mode.

EDIT: I think the chest isn't quite transformed all the way. The grill of the truck should sit a little higher giving him for of a chest and be less droopy. Or maybe it's the angle of that particular shot. It seems different than the product shots in that way to me.

The Voyager and Legends waves of the "Thrilling 30" are out or are due out. The Deluxe wave is lagging behind a little, that must be a first. You think the FoC Wreckers are to blame, sabotaging the whole deal?

Wooo! Trailbreaker lives!

To be honest, half of me wants the Thrilling 30 Deluxes to be here already (Trailcutterbreaker and Orion Pax just look gorgeous ), but the other half wants the Wreckers so I can have take a hiatus on my fruitless search for Energon Windrazor and Storm Jet to make a Classics Superion stand-in (curse you Target for never supplying Universe Superion and Bruticus!).

But do I think the Wreckers are the reason that the Thrilling 30 Deluxes aren't out yet? I don't think I can answer that, since neither waves have been confirmed as spotted in retail yet.

i need this toy.

All my want, all the win...

And where's this 'FOC Wreckers cancelled' coiming from?!

We're not saying the Wreckers are cancelled. We're just talking about the possibility of them being cancelled, what with all the recent sightings of the initial Thrilling 30 toys.

We've yet to see a trace from them in stores, yet we already have in-hand images of the first Deluxe toys of the next line! Don't tell me you're not worried.

It is a shame he is too big for metroplex
