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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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?

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
According to Optimus in "A Prime Problem" he WAS Trailblazer!
Trailbreaker's got a "dad bod". Finally, a realistic body type!😂
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

Been very divisive on this figure but as usual emgo sells me on another figure great review man!

Trail breaker looks good and well detailed
BUT HE'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BELLLLY. I like it as is, minus being able to see through the side of his chest.
In the G1 series episode A Prime Problem. The real Optimus Prime accidentally calls him Trailblazer.
Mascot never ceases to amuse me XD

Got mine last week, He's awesome just like your reviews Emgo :)
Honestly the transformation looks simple and easy if you pay attention
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.
Great mold.
Now I'm going to wait patiently for inevitable Diaclone repaint.
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.
I kind of expected Prime to attack Trailbreaker not try to talk to him.
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.
Hey @Emgo, between the Occular Max, Fanstoys and Takara MP, which one do you like best over-all? Thanks
Your precious G1 Trailbreaker is not looking straight because he's doing "Squirrel".
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?
Finally, a bot with a dad bod. I salute you, Trailbreaker for courage.
TrailBreaker is massively underrated
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.
I like my Trailbreakers on the pudgy side, but yeah, that is too much of a slope.
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.
One of their best MP honestly I think
I love the new intro to the show!!!
Trailbreakin', Too Electric-blooooooosssshhh-a-loo
"You do get noggin options" love emgo ❤
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.
The face makes him look like Garnet
Hey emgo316
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.
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. 😅
Trail blazier has had 1 beer
Too possibility many!😅
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

I cant wait for there cliff jumper.
So you are saying he has chest over drawers problems, or Dunlap issues, his stomach done lapped over his belt

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
Let Trailbreaker sport the dad bod! lol
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.
I’m waiting for mine to ship from show z cant wait.
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)
does he work with mainline affectparts
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?
I like this. I'm a fan of Masterpiece toys.
Otherwise I'd question your viewing history
Unfortunately the gut is what he's supposed to have. Which I'd say this figure nails
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.
Do the Dew Bloossshhh !
Can the shoulder weapons hide in the back pack
As funny as the idea of a beer gut transformer is, I do agree that it doesnt look great.

He's one of the original 84 lineup, the black one. The force field guy? Ring any bells yet?
But is his new left hand bloosh compatible? :D
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 think mp jetfire comes out before February begins
Chosen Prime said they'll have it in stock at the end of January.
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
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.
Beer Belly on an Autobot

Can you review the Galaxy shuttle
Also FT version is sorely lacking a happy face
cool
Looking forward to the KO version of this
Why ?
Hihi
👏👏👏😎🥰👏👌🤩❤❤❤
If Jay Leno was a transformer. Also fanstoys is better
Hey Emgo. Where's the fanstoys jive review.
he's waiting his turn. patience please :)
Did sad pac-man go out of business lol
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.
interesting that the lower thighs arent mirrored
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!
It's weird but I miss sad Pac-Man
Just need Jazz and Mirage and I can quit the Masterpiece line
And stay out!
He looks like a plumber.
