I actually have a theory as to why the figure is so small. In the More than Meets the Eye series (MTMTE) he is probably the smallest Autobot on the Lost Light next to Tailgate and maybe Windcharger. And this is IDW theme, so that's probably why.
I'm glad the arms weren't screwed up. Every single preview picture (besides toy fair) had the arms rotated down so he had gorilla arms with his shoulders at the bottom of the wheels. I never understood why no one, with all the test shot previews we've seen of this guy, could transform the arms properly.
This figure looks better than I expected. I’d have preferred him to have a little bit more size, but hey ho that was never going to happen I suppose. The figure will look great on my Classics shelf, looking forward to getting him.
Hi Paul. I hope you get better soon. If I may recommend something for your throat. You can go to a walmart or target and get a pack of Ricola Herb cough drops. Popping one into you mouth every few hours should help with the discomfort.
I hope they make a Skids out of that mold. Just retool the shield accesory and remove the thingie behind his head. Attach the shield accesories to the back and it could open up to get door wings and shoulder canons.
Botimus, What's your opinion on Grimlock being in TF4? They revealed him on IMDB, and he is a Cab Over Truck(G1 Prime) I think he could be a triplechanger!
Yeah, when he was first announced, I really expected him to be a voyager. It would put him in much better scale with the classics/rts/generations cars.
Hey Optibotimus, I assume you may have seen the third party add on for his forcefield and if you have, would you consider getting it or is it too much for a deluxe?
Will he come with a sample comic or his spolight comic? Spotlight Trailcutter gives an explaination why he changed his name. Which is cooler than reading, "Hasbro couldn't trademark Trailbreaker"
Brought to you by BBTS huh? I was going to preorder Trailbreaker on BBTS, but they were sold out for him. I instead preordered Orion Pax and Sandstorm. I'll get him soon.
As a huge fan of the IDW comics I must say that these new generation figures look perfect to me. Too bad they probably won't import them here like they haven't the past few generation series :(
wow im always impressed by your reviews they make me excited. You tell me whats wrong and good about all the figures you saved me from getting universe 2.0 galvatron god that figure was terrible after i saw your review of jack Nicholson's joker i saw that movie movie i dont want to sound like im your "biggest fan" but now that i have a youtube account i wanted to say your reviews are awsome
Like the proverbial broken record that I am this review was awesome. Trailcutter/Trailbreaker looks great and I don't mind the small alt mode, but the bot mode makes up for the small alt mode. Anyways great review, optibotimus.
Yeaaah I'm gonna need this. I never cared about scale, so I don't mind his size at all. Is it me or do tf's "sound" different, when handling them, in comparison to, say Classics
I'm cautiously optimistic that this guy will be available by himself through BBTS again soon. Failing that, I hope I can track him down without having to resort to scalper prices on eBay.
how about ask your friend who died your Optimus Prime to look like nemesis, I love that review/look at. I think it will be a good look of what he can do, hope you think about it
Yes it is More Than Meets The Eye. I keep telling myself I can't afford it. Now I'll have trouble getting these Thrilling 30 figures. Also I live internationally and they charge $30 a deluxe.
FINALLY! The 84 deluxe cars cast is complete! It's going to be so nice to finally complete the team.

dude, 'optibotimus' is having a cool fun time reviewing toys, and it even makes him money. this is cool as heck.
Paul thanks for rushing this review even though you were sick! Great review and has me more excited for this figure!
I have been waiting so long for this one optibotimus thank you
I'm glad the arms weren't screwed up. Every single preview picture (besides toy fair) had the arms rotated down so he had gorilla arms with his shoulders at the bottom of the wheels. I never understood why no one, with all the test shot previews we've seen of this guy, could transform the arms properly.
Can you peg the guns into the engine block with the horizontal tab so the guns poke forward over his head rather than pointing up?
Figure is looking great, size aside. Can't wait to add him to the collection. Thanks for the great review Paul.
Is there a way to hide his force-field generator and cannons in truck mode?
can't wait to check this out :) Have you read his Spotlight Comic, Paul?
Just ordered Transformers Generations Bumblebee/Goldbug...from bbts...Can't wait!!!
Nice review Paul, and im really looking forward to this weekends giveaway
This figure looks better than I expected. I’d have preferred him to have a little bit more size, but hey ho that was never going to happen I suppose. The figure will look great on my Classics shelf, looking forward to getting him.
When will we get these toys at the store and thank u for review of trailcutter (trailbreaker)

didnt the g1 incarnation also have a gun on one arm insted of a hand?
Is the truck mode bigger than prime cup/ironhide's truck mode?
How do get all these transformers so quick even when there not in stores?
Just ordered mine today, couldn't wait 'til it gets here, have any idea when Hoist is gonna drop?
Looks like a solid figure. Am a big fan of the James Roberts Transformers comics. The Trailbreaker Spotlight story was great.
Botimus, What's your opinion on Grimlock being in TF4?
They revealed him on IMDB, and he is a Cab Over Truck(G1 Prime)
I think he could be a triplechanger!
Hi , which one of the Optimus primes from the latest movies do you recommend ? Thanks
Can't wait for your review of Orion Pax! Hope he looks good with WFC Optimus Prime so we have some sort of evolution from Orion to Optimus!
Yeah, when he was first announced, I really expected him to be a voyager. It would put him in much better scale with the classics/rts/generations cars.
Hey Optibotimus, I assume you may have seen the third party add on for his forcefield and if you have, would you consider getting it or is it too much for a deluxe?
Do you think optimus will get a new gun arm like megatron did in TF2?
Also do you think there will be Galvatron, Unicron or something else?
would reckomend that i get all of wave 1 and two? and is there going to be more than just then two in wave 2?
Cool review optibotimus. I hope we can get a mtmte rodimus in the future cause its a great design.
How did you get this early? Are you going to Review the Megatron before everyone else too? Everyone and their grandmother is looking forward to that.
I'm not sure, I think it's just being teased for now, but hopefully it wont be too expensive.
Paul how do feel about slingshot being a car on transformers 4?
what is your opinion about his new remold , hoist ?
This trailcutter looks like he would fit in nicely with the wreckers
For all we know that could a placeholder name. I remember back in 2007 seeing concept images of first movie Barracade labled as Brawl.
Will he come with a sample comic or his spolight comic? Spotlight Trailcutter gives an explaination why he changed his name. Which is cooler than reading, "Hasbro couldn't trademark Trailbreaker"
same thing for bluestreak the character. the toys were always called silverstreak
Did you get the whole wave?
Gus send you his to review?
I do really like that robot mode.
Brought to you by BBTS huh? I was going to preorder Trailbreaker on BBTS, but they were sold out for him. I instead preordered Orion Pax and Sandstorm. I'll get him soon.
youre so cool . did you buy all the toys that you reviewed???
Went did you want to review RID Deluxe Class Airachnid? just asking...
What are your thoughts on Optimus Prime's redesign for TF4. Sorry if you mentioned it in a previous video, and I missed it. Great review btw.
Looks like I'll be picking him up as well as Hoist.
Het optibotimus! I have a question: do you think I should get Trailcutter or Bumblebee from this wave?
to be sure i don't think he is that cab over truck its just a rumor. i know because i follow theraginnation, michaelbay and seibertron.
As a huge fan of the IDW comics I must say that these new generation figures look perfect to me. Too bad they probably won't import them here like they haven't the past few generation series :(
He is awesome I don't care that his vehicle is small My only complaint is his Autobot Logo isn't visible in Bot mode
Didn't at one point Hasbro have his name as "Trailblazer"? I think that was in the comics at one point.
Where'd you get him?! Is he in stores now?! :O
how'd u get him?
optibotimus i fund a trailcuter beast wars cyberverse figure will you get and review him
Great looking figure! He's missing some paint detail on the back and on sides, but i am sure Takara will give us a better paint detail. :)
Whats the name of the song in the intro
paul why do random letters appear onscreen at the end of some of your videos?
Is trailcutter trailbreaker? I cant really remember i love transformers just hard to keep up with all the name changes
Happy Birthday!
This...this IS actually a really good figure. I...think that I am in shock! LOL. Keep it up Hasbro. Nice review. ;)
WHATS THE NAME OF THE INTRO SONG?!?!?!
The arms remind of RTS Perceptor too, similar in teh fac that they lock into the shoulders, this one seems to do it better though lol
speak of witch, what type of camera do u use
I'm getting this and cutting off that radar disc sticking out from the top.
Vehicle mode is a little disappointing, but the look of the robot mode makes up for it.
Those Are Not Concept Images They Are Officially Given Info By Michel Gay
I think its a great figure. Have to pick that one up. Great review bruh.
wow im always impressed by your reviews they make me excited. You tell me whats wrong and good about all the figures you saved me from getting universe 2.0 galvatron god that figure was terrible after i saw your review of jack Nicholson's joker i saw that movie movie i dont want to sound like im your "biggest fan" but now that i have a youtube account i wanted to say your reviews are awsome
The arms remind me of bulkhead from transformers prime series, in their transformation
not bad engineering on this one. Not too hot or Trailwhatever, but I'll try to get Hoist.
why not hftd voyager
Like the proverbial broken record that I am this review was awesome. Trailcutter/Trailbreaker looks great and I don't mind the small alt mode, but the bot mode makes up for the small alt mode. Anyways great review, optibotimus.
I like how this guy looks, but I think i am gonna get the repaint hoiat, I love how that guy looks. I just think there is more to it.
and my preorder is justified. I was worried that this figure would have a torso similar to FOC Jazz
Please review some of the diamond select startrek ships
man still waiting for your review of orion pax
Well, maybe by being small he is in scale with the generations 2013 legends bumblebee.
and forgot to ask optibotimus are thinking of getting beast hunters Sharkticon Megatron figure
Looks Great,I want this and Hoist Figure! Great Review! Saludos
That Arm transformation actually looks more like the Voyager Ironhide from the 2007 movie line.
I did not get a comicbook
I hope the metroplex comes out here in Australia!
This mould seems familiar, not sure what it is :/
Yeaaah I'm gonna need this. I never cared about scale, so I don't mind his size at all. Is it me or do tf's "sound" different, when handling them, in comparison to, say Classics
Haha you called em TrailBREAKER at the end there
You haven't read MTMTE? You're missing out! It's a great series!
awesome trailbreaker
In robot mode, it looks like he converts to a cool car...
i hope they make a generations prowl and bluestreak then
I'm cautiously optimistic that this guy will be available by himself through BBTS again soon. Failing that, I hope I can track him down without having to resort to scalper prices on eBay.
the reason he's small is because he comes with a comic hasbro made him small so they could keep cost down
how about ask your friend who died your Optimus Prime to look like nemesis, I love that review/look at. I think it will be a good look of what he can do, hope you think about it
Beast of a figure right here! :D
Hot tea with a splash of rum helps as well.
Optibotimus@ did you saw the new designs for Transformers 4 ? Optimus, Bumblebe Bulkhead....new cars
I'm hoping they make an mtmte starsaber
Yes it is More Than Meets The Eye. I keep telling myself I can't afford it. Now I'll have trouble getting these Thrilling 30 figures. Also I live internationally and they charge $30 a deluxe.
HE MENTIONS IT IN THE DESCRIPTION!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE WE YELLING STUPID QUESTIONS?!?!?!
I'm curious to see Megatron and Orion Pax
Perceptor is definitely a pain in the tailpipe. Even Paul Eiding says so.
when on earth are you going to review the megatron from this wave. I would rather see that than metroplex
