Now if only they could put the same care and budget into the MPM line

Also, a new MP update. But it's not Sky/Jetfire

It's 5 days. Unless Takara had a special event planned just for the reveal, it's probably not a terminable offense.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Someone's gonna get fired: The "5月11日解禁" part in red pasted over the image says it's not to be shown until May 11th.
As for the figure, it's definitely based on TB from the opening of season 1. He looked wider in the actual episodes.

Here's his character model for reference:Rodimus Prime wrote:As for the figure, it's definitely based on TB from the opening of season 1. He looked wider in the actual episodes.

More like Hound maybe? Overengineered and overpriced?
If that's the case, I'm out.

I think size will have more to do with it than anything. A City is a small car and this is a truck, his bot mode should be the same size as Ironhide, Ratchet, Inferno and Grapple. Hoist is the same height, but his silhouette is quite different, not sure how they'll handle that.
Trailbreaker is third to the right of Prime on the top row, Hoist is in the middle of the fourth row between Grapple and Blaster.
So far this figure looks fantastic, interesting that he comes with spare heads (or halves of his head) instead of just extra faces.

Must be Porche or Martini licensing issues
Or maybe Hasbro is like, “No alcohol brand associations with toys!” (Just like WB and guns) -_-
Or they could just put a special, “Ages 21 and up” or “Adults only” for Jazz.
Makes little difference to us old foggies here

Hasbro ain't got nuthin' to do with these G1 MPs. It's all Takara's doing.optimeow wrote:Or maybe Hasbro is like, “No alcohol brand associations with toys!” (Just like WB and guns) -_-

And for the record, it's all Porsche, tho they may await the result of Cliffjumper first. The sponsorship licensing excuse went out the window with Wheeljack and Exhaust.

Let us know what you think about the figure!
Posted by BumbleDouche on May 10th, 2022 @ 8:26am CDT
Aside from that, the only real nit-picky thing I could say about the mold is that those voids left on the sides of the torso (the wheel-wells) make for a bit of an eyesore. Either that or the blue of that window breaks the continuity of colour in a manner that looks out of place.
Overall though, I foresee a mass recall of pre-orders for FT-Outrigger happening in the imminent future lol.

Also, man, that Bee 2.0 just looks bad from every angle.

As much as we all moan that they just re-release the most popular characters ad nauseum. The reality is, those non-top tier characters aren't guaranteed to sell. From my friend's reactions, they don't think Trailbreaker is worth that figure, regardless.

Who am I kidding?
I just cancelled the preorder of some anime sexy girl figure at Amazon.jp to preorder Trailbreaker instead.

I stand corrected

holy hell you look great buddy. It is great to see you looking this good.
I preordered this guy. Trailbreaker is my favorite G1 Transformer, and this toy nails him. Nails him good too. He looks so good! I am in love it how good it looks!
the only thing I want to nitpick is that he did not come with a shield piece in any capacity. He should have something so I can have him projecting a forcefield!
Otherwise, he is wonderful, I cannot WAIT to get him!!!

200$CAN is not too bad a price all things considered.
If the exchange rate for the Yen's value remains the same until my card is charged, it will remain cheaper at Amazon.jp for me. If not, the total price will be equivalent when adding taxes and shipping.

I too, received my notification that my credit card kept bouncing so I needed to update my payment info. Repeatedly. If I don't, my uncancellable preorder will be cancelled.
Oh nyo.
And this morning, it just did.
Oh nyo.

God, he is wonderful.
The robot mode just makes me giggle with glee, he is slick and lovely. And he can throw some great shapes. He is pure joy! I love how awkward but still fully functional he is! He is fun!
Transformation isn't that bad, and his truck mode is pretty hefty, he has some density to him in truck mode. I will keep the shiny grill on him.
This is a dream come true. He is wonderful. I absolutely love him.
