Fans will probably be happy since Takara is going all out for Trailbreaker. The full reveal shows us all the accessories he comes with which are all done to recreate scenes from the G1 show, like the multi nozzle hand, the satellite dish and even an interchangeable grill to have a more toon look. He comes with 3 faces and effects parts as well. You can see all of that in the screencaps below of the reveal video which was mirrored by Cybertron 21 on Youtube. The toy is over the 20 K Yen mark, so not at all like the cheap price point Skids had. However, with the Japanese retail standard of selling locally at less than MSRP along with a very big currency exchange advantage, American fans could pay anywhere between 135-160 before shipping when all is said and done. But first you will see online listings of the 160-170 range from domestic importers which are sure to be in our upcoming sponsor posts.

Let us know what you think about the figure!

I can't help but feel he should be darker. If not black, at least a darker shade of grey. I know that's not the hyper-toon-accurate thing Takara are now focusing on, but I think the 3rd party releases fit my personalised ideal aesthetic for this character a little more closely.

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.

Agree on the torso being a bit messy with the windows being visible through the wheelwels. Also no license? I think he's supposed to be a Toyota Hilux, right?

He looks so solid, this just makes me SUPER excited for Hoist. Been waiting for him forever.

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

This is purely the work of wizards or witches lol. Just amazing looking and I cant believe they have all those legs/arms fit inside such a small looking torso. I cant wait to see Moist now, which is my fav of the two. This is one of the best looking Masterpiece figures in a while,

nailed it. Makes me want to collect MP, but too expensive, so I happily stick to Generations.

Amazon Japan cuts off cancelations on May 22nd which means on May 23rd we'll see just how many tiny fragile panels this figure uses.

Well, guess that's one more MP that I'll have to skip.

There's speculation that the exchange rate price will put Trailbreaker at £135. To which, upon hearing the potential pricing refers to MP Trailbreaker. My G1 collector friends reaction was:

I mean I'm laughing at the price because it's considerably lower than I thought it would be even with shipping from Japan he'll be under $150 and potentially continue to drop more. I think he's the perfect price compared to the smaller Skids and similarly sized Inferno and Ironhide molds. And he looks great as both a real world Toyota and a generic cartoon truck (from the front).

I think this might be a similar case to Raiden. With a price drop not too long after the preorder goes global.

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.

My boy, my favorite boy...

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!!!

The preorder is up at Age 3 & Up cor Canadians.

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.

Our Japan correspondent Matt in Japan has a video review for Transformers MP-56 Masterpiece Trailbreaker. This item was released just before the end of the year in Japan and he got his from Amazon Japan for ¥18,800 yen. In the review, Matt shows the accessories, like the different faces, and shows how Trailbreaker looks at from different angles. The side view is quite impressive since he ends up not having much of a backpack, the alt mode parts compress very elegantly. We also see him compared to MP skids for size along with preview Trailbreaker toys. Enjoy!

Looks pretty damn good, but I noticed too late that there's no place for it in my collection, nor do I have the money to pay for it.

One more day of "please update your payment info" and I'll be free!
