I wish Trailbreaker was in the live action movies, his design is really cool and he's really weaponized and who wouldn't like to see this awesome character in the big screen?
It's refreshing how not-overly-complex his transformation is, you don't have to assemble his entire torso out of plastic oragami. I'm super tempted to get him because I like Trailbreaker (his G1 toy was the first Transformer I ever owned) and this looks like a good figure. The belly thing looks pretty accurate to the model sheet from what I can tell, but I do prefer the look of the FansToys figure. Trailbreaker just has Dad Bod.
11:00 Yours is the first video I've seen show that double hinge to completely move the camper shell out of the way. Same for the slide mechanism for the shoulder gun.
First Transformer I ever owned was a G1 Trailbreaker my parents bought for me. I still have it, but his head came off and he's lost his accessories. I now have the Earthrise version of him :D
I just got this figure today. I know people rip on it, but I think his legs transformation is probably the most clean and clever of any of the Masterpiece figures. Everything above the waist is a different story, but I don’t feel like any of the reviews for MP-56 give credit to how well the legs transformation works.
Interesting how different the transformations are so different between the various versions of masterpiece scaled trailbreakers. Big rectangle car becomes big rectangle robot.
Great review man. As usually. Thanks for showing us the transformation, which is not easy, but similar as G1. What I don't like of the figure is how difficult is to form the backpack and how flawless seems to be. I hope there will be not plastic fractures with this toy because, every day will be more expensive the line Master piece. I remember a Wheeljack for 54 € US dolars. This will be the average price. And maybe for the bigger cars like Trailbreaker or Vanettes Ironhide and Ratchet 72. Times have changed.
I wonder if Hasbro has ever paused and said. " Hey maybe we wont place tabs in the most stupid position thats half impossible to seat at the top of a back pack." Nope were doing exactly that and were attaching the head to the mechanism that can detach while trying to seat the impossible tabs.
I picked up this figure earlier today, and out of the box the little tab on the back of his hips was stressed. As far as I can tell it is only used to hold the backpack in place more securely. Should I need to worry about it (get it replaced/returned) or is it fine?
I love this one Takara stepped it up a notch in my opinion only thing i dont like is I wish they could have made it where the black side of the truck doors where facing out instead of the windows.
Interesting. It looks like the official photos of the truck mode are missing panel lines that are clearly visible on the figure. The main ones I noticed were the lines around the rear tires.
Actually funny enough has an extra pull out neck joint that barely helps get more range but it definitely does get more down, it’s similar to sunstreaker and 44’s neck. Oh you actually showed it by accident at 21:30! Haha
I have a feeling that EmGo would prefer the alt mode to start his reviews... Can't quite put my finger on as to how I came up with this assumption, but it's a gut feeling. But it's a great review, as always.
Emgo I was wondering are you going to make more movies with your transformers figures like your own jurassic world movie video with the dino bots, skeleton dinosaurs, the autobots, the different crossovers figures including JP93, your other figures, and maskot too. What do you think?
2:17 the ocular max version of trailbreaker seems to blow away the official release for me, it looks alot more g1 accurate and the decals are also much better.
Hi Emgo. Did you do the shoulder fix to let me move more freely without any damage or do you have a way you recommend to pose it more freely as you did? Seems like your copy was a good one.
Made on the dump. That beer belly. Is he a beer lover now? A hollow near the armpits. A tottering cannon. And those hollow lines in the backpack at the back. Thank you for this video.
People complain about his belly but if you look at the g1 figure it has one to the same thing about the gaps on his chest but if you look at the Fanstoys version it also has gaps
Fans Toys looks great aesthetically but, nowhere near toon look. Takara Tomy nailed the toon look and people still complain. If you watch the cartoon series, his hood slopes outwards giving him a belly just like this toy. Also, since this is an officially licensed Toyota truck, Takara Tomy nailed the vehicle mode as well and Fans Toys is the worst of the bunch in alt mode. If I'm taking them based on toon I'd rate them in the same order 1. Takara Tomy Trailbreaker 2. X-transbots Aegis 3. Fans Toys Outrider. Aesthetically 1 robot & 3 alt Fans Toys Outrider 2 robot & 1 alt Takara Tomy Trailbreaker 3 robot 2 alt X-transbots Aegis.
Just put Trailbreaker on a low energon cube diet, give him plenty of exercise like go jogging around the house & play football with Dinobots to lose some that weight.
As funny as the idea of a beer gut transformer is, I do agree that it doesnt look great. Anywa I have entirely no memory of this character from the G1 cartoon. He must've had some decent presence though, right, given there's a few third party toys?
Head sculpt is a bit off on this one I think. He looks like a chubby kid! Shame cos the rest of him looks great. Be good if you could get a third party resculpt.
I would rather prefer an optional toy-version head than another expression of the same model... All the masterpiece toon versions tend to have a light shade of color than expected, a bit off, I guess it is an artifact of scanning the original film, which must be washing the colors a bit... And then they put an exaggerated saturation on the blue on the windows, it looks cheap and childish. Takara Tomy/Hasbro can we have a discreet pale blue or a light smoke tint?
While I dislike toon heavy MPs, I think this one would have benefit from sticking to the toon. The realistic car hood sticks out way too much for not matching the toon look of the bot mode. In the com-par-is-SON... Oc Max looks the best!
I wish Trailbreaker was in the live action movies, his design is really cool and he's really weaponized and who wouldn't like to see this awesome character in the big screen?
I would definitely
It would be so cool to see him as a Chevy Blazer!
@@drewo.127 Of course, it’s only appropriate that he gets a Chevy Blazer as his alt mode hence his name
One could regard Ironhide’s movie appearance as Trailbreaker
But he would nothing likebthis character if he were in Bayverse.
Spike: Look Dad, no hands.
Trailbreaker: Big deal, I'm driving.
This figure has been a ton of fun for me so far! Love how much mass shifting goes on for the transformation!
Same. I’ve had him a week now, wasn’t sure at first but I’ve got the transformations nailed and it’s lots of fun.

I wasn’t sure at first, but after messing with him for a week I can honestly say he’s phenomenal. Takara have nailed it for me.
At this point i feel like devcon is more likely to get a masterpiece than jazz
When I first got back into Transformers, my (then)5yr old gifted my a core-class Trailbreaker, because "He has a tummy like daddy!" 🙃
HAHAHAHAHA
Trailbreaker's got a "dad bod". Finally, a realistic body type!😂
11:00 Yours is the first video I've seen show that double hinge to completely move the camper shell out of the way. Same for the slide mechanism for the shoulder gun.
According to Optimus in "A Prime Problem" he WAS Trailblazer!
Been very divisive on this figure but as usual emgo sells me on another figure great review man!
First Transformer I ever owned was a G1 Trailbreaker my parents bought for me. I still have it, but his head came off and he's lost his accessories.
I now have the Earthrise version of him :D
Mascot never ceases to amuse me XD
In the G1 series episode A Prime Problem. The real Optimus Prime accidentally calls him Trailblazer.
Hey Emgo great review as always
Thank you 🤗

BUT HE'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BELLLLY. I like it as is, minus being able to see through the side of his chest.
Got mine last week, He's awesome just like your reviews Emgo :)
Finally, a bot with a dad bod. I salute you, Trailbreaker for courage.
Nice to see that you are back from transforming it from alt mode to robot mode
I start the review with whatever mode it was packed in. He was packed in alt mode.
I picked up this figure earlier today, and out of the box the little tab on the back of his hips was stressed. As far as I can tell it is only used to hold the backpack in place more securely. Should I need to worry about it (get it replaced/returned) or is it fine?

Your precious G1 Trailbreaker is not looking straight because he's doing "Squirrel".
Interesting. It looks like the official photos of the truck mode are missing panel lines that are clearly visible on the figure. The main ones I noticed were the lines around the rear tires.

Great mold.
Now I'm going to wait patiently for inevitable Diaclone repaint.
Honestly the transformation looks simple and easy if you pay attention
Hey @Emgo, between the Occular Max, Fanstoys and Takara MP, which one do you like best over-all? Thanks
I love the new intro to the show!!!
I like my Trailbreakers on the pudgy side, but yeah, that is too much of a slope.
I kind of expected Prime to attack Trailbreaker not try to talk to him.
"You do get noggin options" love emgo ❤
Can't say the presence of a "gut" is a legit complaint Emgo my man. His animation model has one too.
It’s a complaint for me. To each their own.
I have a feeling that EmGo would prefer the alt mode to start his reviews... Can't quite put my finger on as to how I came up with this assumption, but it's a gut feeling. But it's a great review, as always.
Trailbreakin', Too Electric-blooooooosssshhh-a-loo
TrailBreaker is massively underrated
One of their best MP honestly I think
Trail blazier has had 1 beer
Too possibility many!😅

Did he have “A Gut” in the g1 cartoon? I swear he did hah
I don't know but probably
@@FrenchFryCheese04 i need to rewatch and see lol
He did
Having recently rewatche season 1, he did
@@FrenchFryCheese04 y tf did u even react if u dont know.
I remember you saying mascot likes his club, but what is he mite like a new weapon that is like a club like a hammer or spikey mace?
So you are saying he has chest over drawers problems, or Dunlap issues, his stomach done lapped over his belt
I don't mind the gut because I feel he sort of had one in the animated series. I do sort of mind how hollow the windowless sides of the pecs are. 😅
Hey emgo316
does he work with mainline affectparts
It was hard for me to skip this release. Trailbreaker is one of my favourite characters, but i still think MMC did the torso best.
Any idea what the “12122” is for at 3:19? Is that just a byproduct of manufacturing or an Easter egg?
I think it’s just a byproduct
Hi Emgo. Did you do the shoulder fix to let me move more freely without any damage or do you have a way you recommend to pose it more freely as you did? Seems like your copy was a good one.
I didn’t do anything to it. Didn’t know there was anything that needed fixing.
Let Trailbreaker sport the dad bod! lol
I like this. I'm a fan of Masterpiece toys.
Otherwise I'd question your viewing history
Why didn't they think of that sooner, because they had to steal it from Open and Play Big Spring, you know the hip skirt idea.
Can the shoulder weapons hide in the back pack
I cant wait for there cliff jumper.
I’m waiting for mine to ship from show z cant wait.
Remember in dinobots sentai dinogers maybe In the next video you could show us who shot swoop that day when you make dinogers 2. What do you think?
There’s not going to be a sequel, sorry.
But is his new left hand bloosh compatible? :D
The face makes him look like Garnet

Can you review the Galaxy shuttle
I think mp jetfire comes out before February begins
Chosen Prime said they'll have it in stock at the end of January.
Do the Dew Bloossshhh !
I wish 3p companies would continue to make OS KO of these… e.g. weijiang…
i already own all the G1 OS KO i could find (weijiang for most of them)
Just put Trailbreaker on a low energon cube diet, give him plenty of exercise like go jogging around the house & play football with Dinobots to lose some that weight.
Emgo316 I just notice that the alt mode is branded, Wow.
I mean trailbreak IS a Toyota
@@FrenchFryCheese04 Yeah you can tell in the front & the back of the alt mode.
Hey Emgo. Where's the fanstoys jive review.
he's waiting his turn. patience please :)
Beer Belly on an Autobot
Unfortunately the gut is what he's supposed to have. Which I'd say this figure nails
Looking forward to the KO version of this
Why ?
Hihi
As funny as the idea of a beer gut transformer is, I do agree that it doesnt look great.
Anywa I have entirely no memory of this character from the G1 cartoon. He must've had some decent presence though, right, given there's a few third party toys?
He's one of the original 84 lineup, the black one. The force field guy? Ring any bells yet?
interesting that the lower thighs arent mirrored
cool
👏👏👏😎🥰👏👌🤩❤❤❤
If Jay Leno was a transformer. Also fanstoys is better
FT Outrider: TB in his prime
MP: Old, out of shape veteran TB
A veteran that can move much better though ... paradox
@@elandraxe well, Ahnold had to tone down his workout to wield a sword in Conan.
Maybe it's a similar concept for Cybertronians
Permission to give Mascot a Bonk on the head?
denied
How about a cookie? :)

@@Gojiraman2005 xD
Also FT version is sorely lacking a happy face
Did sad pac-man go out of business lol
Just need Jazz and Mirage and I can quit the Masterpiece line
And stay out!
Head sculpt is a bit off on this one I think. He looks like a chubby kid! Shame cos the rest of him looks great. Be good if you could get a third party resculpt.
It's weird but I miss sad Pac-Man
He looks like a plumber.

Hate the vehicle mode. Looks hideous.
FansToys wins again. This MP feels like rip off.
