I was so excited when I heard that Earthrise was going to have Trailbreaker. When I saw the pictures, I was worried about partforming. Thank you for making it clear that it’s optional!!!
8 year old me got G1 Trailbreaker as his first Transformer toy in 1984, so I have a massive soft spot for the character. So of course I was excited when I saw Hoist because I knew there'd be a Trailbreaker remold/repaint, and I'm actually super excited to get him. He looks even better than I expected, and even though I'm gonna hit some parts of him with silver paint (the shoulder gun/shield emitter) he looks great right out of the box.
@@zitro3022 I preordered smokescreen at big bad toystore but they havent got their stock in yet. Also I live in Australia and we usually get things a bit later. Recently got apeface and snapdragon delivered.
I'm a huge fan of Trailbreaker! Back in the G1 episode, "Megatron's Master Plan, part 2," the autobots would have been destroyed by the sun if it hadn't been for Trailbreaker's force field saving them. I really can't wait to find him in stores.
Yes! Excellent review PrimevsPrime! This was the only figure out of this wave I was going to buy, and you sold me on it! Can’t wait for the Netflix Soundwave or the SS Leadfoot review, or maybe a review of the Elita-1 you’ve been teasing on your insta!
I already have Earthrise Opitmus Prime and this will be my next target. Trailbreaker was so underrated but cool. He is the one of ther original Optimus Prime's Big 3. Iron Hide, Trailbreaker and Ratchet.
My only issues with this figure is the hands being shown while in vehicle mode and they could have made the fenders be able to fold for robot mode for the arms. To me that would have been alot better
One nitpick I have after picking him up is that his more bulky. It is toy accurate(kind of), but not show acurate which is what earthrise is trying to do.
Hmmm, not sure about that. He def looks okay but the wings from the side car are still present here which really is more Hoist than Trailbreaker. But historically they've always been the same mold anyway so it doesnt matter.
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!!!!!!!! :D Trailbreaker is one of my all time favorite Transformers characters, I've been most excited for him then any of the other Earthrise deluxe class figures due to 2 words, black paint. :D Black is my favorite color, so any Transformer that has black as their primary paint job is an instant winner. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
When Earthrise revealed the two new figures, I wanted to get Sunstreaker and skip Trailbreaker. I didn't really have any interesting in Trailbreaker, I was fine with just Hoist. But now, after this in hand review, my interesting in getting Earthrise Trailbreaker was peak. He looks awesome.
I got hoist and it wasn't my favorite mold. Everyone says he's big, but I found him to be hollow and top heavy. I wasn't a fan of the arm flaps. The arms stick out like sore thumbs in vehicle mode as well, dragging roughly on the ground which makes it almost impossible to get it rolling on all four wheels.
Looks pretty good, but if I can nit-pick a little....... I really prefer his old red eyes/red visor over the blue that he has here. Guess I'll either break out the paints, or wait for a Toyhax sticker set.
I dont want to spend more money but I might as well sell off my old brittle vintage and get these awesome things in place. The cartoon is the look I love most.
Same. I hated the hollowness. Then my wife saw it at the store and bought it for me. When i started playing with it all the issues i had with him were gone. Now he is one of my favorites. I wanted cliffjumper badly. And when i got it, well let me just say, he is severely overrated.
because earthrise remolds are way better than siege remolds, because they usually have a lot less fuss to worry about in terms of looking like an earth vehicle
THIS is a good partsforming. Optional and just to help the figure to look better, not your shitty Ironhide or Cliffjumper. He's more complete than Hoist, I'm probably going to buy him
Why do certain car transformers have names based on the vehicles function or something- Beachcomber(beach buggy) ,trailbreaker(jeep), hoist(tow truck). Etc
this is the fig im waiting on the most. it does kinda bug me though that the forcefield generator isnt centered over his head like it is with hoist. TBH im baffled as to WHY he's got a rear mounted blaster too actively preventing that. but its a small complaint. i'll deffo be getting this lad.
No offense to Hoist fans, but I couldn't care less about that character. However, I love Trailbreaker. I bought the Combiner Wars Trailbreaker just because I wanted a version of him so badly. I am going to enjoy this new Earthrise toy a lot.
Trailbreaker is such an underrated Autobot and has been a favorite of mine for a while. There's no way I could pass up this toy.
yeah
I was never a huge Trailbreaker fan but this guy is just so 80s-tastic with that striping, I need him.
Black and red was THE color scheme of the 80’s ! 😎 Knight Rider, A-Team, and THIS guy!
Moral of the story: black repaints are always the best
So I'm a better version of my sister?
Except Optimus. He’s still always better.
I like hoist better
Black repaints hide the gaps a lot better than brighter colors. So I agree
The last autobot same. Hoist looks better imo
Trailbreaker has always been one of my favorite G1 designs. He has a really unique color scheme for an Autobot.
When I first saw Trailbreaker I thought it was a Gobot.
Cliftjumper: 'hey Trailbreaker! Can't you go any faster?!..
Trailbreaker: I may not be fast but I am tough!..
For some reason Trailbreaker is one transformer that stood out to me as a kid
Same
I was so excited when I heard that Earthrise was going to have Trailbreaker. When I saw the pictures, I was worried about partforming. Thank you for making it clear that it’s optional!!!
What's so wrong with parts forming?
If it’s parts forming then it’s essentially just building the figure instead and it’s not really transforming
8 year old me got G1 Trailbreaker as his first Transformer toy in 1984, so I have a massive soft spot for the character. So of course I was excited when I saw Hoist because I knew there'd be a Trailbreaker remold/repaint, and I'm actually super excited to get him.

Everyone: this guy took forever to release
Me: *laughs in sunstreaker*
Ton ton: hold my phone
*laughs in tiny turbo changers cyberverse*
waiting for earthrise Smokescreen as well hahaha
Dean G he’s out

Who else *loved* trailbreaker from the idw series more than meets the eye and was sad he was killed by Kaon
I just started reading it
Yes! Excellent review PrimevsPrime! This was the only figure out of this wave I was going to buy, and you sold me on it! Can’t wait for the Netflix Soundwave or the SS Leadfoot review, or maybe a review of the Elita-1 you’ve been teasing on your insta!
Haha thank you!
Ugh...really hate the fact I wasn't collecting when this came out. This looks so good.
I'm excited for the rest of the quintesson judgment pit. Also the figure is genius
Laughs in tonton
Sharkticons=awesome
They should give a set which has a pit for sharkticons and a cage for deluxe classes . Something like a playing set like that dotm the ark toy.
Wow, he looks pretty cool!! Black and red is ALWAYS a good colour scheme!!
Another figure I’m so excited to get, can’t wait for your Runamuck and ER Soundwave review!
Thank you! :)
Add this to what was my small wishlist of TFs.
SS Sentinel, Netflix Elita, Netflix Bumblebee, and Trailbreaker
Prime vs prime is one of my favorite reviewers
Thank you!
Now this is a proper Trailbreaker figure.
Great Review! It feels like ur videos are always improving in quality (not saying that ur old videos arent good)
Ah thanks so much! Really appreciate the feedback :)
Trailbreaker looks absolutely fantastic!!! Can’t wait to pick him up!
It’s perfect! Only minuses is small hole in body and his arms.
I already have Earthrise Opitmus Prime and this will be my next target. Trailbreaker was so underrated but cool. He is the one of ther original Optimus Prime's Big 3. Iron Hide, Trailbreaker and Ratchet.
They should make a green repaint of trailbreaker as g1 bulkhead
My only issues with this figure is the hands being shown while in vehicle mode and they could have made the fenders be able to fold for robot mode for the arms. To me that would have been alot better
The fenders I believe are toy accurate to original
@@PrimeVsPrime yes they are but they would have looked better asthethic wise if they could fold imo
One nitpick I have after picking him up is that his more bulky. It is toy accurate(kind of), but not show acurate which is what earthrise is trying to do.
Damn, I just wish they could've added a hinge on the panels behind the arms. I dislike them on Hoist, I hate them on Trailbreaker.
this mold was definitely made for trailbreaker, really solid figure.
I agree!
Hmmm, not sure about that. He def looks okay but the wings from the side car are still present here which really is more Hoist than Trailbreaker. But historically they've always been the same mold anyway so it doesnt matter.
When you reviewed Fasttrack, I thought, it’s fine, I can wait. But this review makes me jealous because I really want this guy.
Finally it's been like forever since he was announced
*laughs in sunstreaker*
@@primezilla37 Lol
I honestly think they could have implemented a hinge on those arm flaps to fix it.
I really like this mold, except for the plastic behind the arms. I wish those cold have folded those up or something.
Im not getting him but still...damn, this is a nice looking figure. Both modes look great! That gunmetal grey looks fantastic
This is why I love PrimeVsPrime
I am so hyped for this figure! And I don't even feel that attached to the character.
That's earthrise magic
@@wasted2747 Also because I want to complete my '84 character collection. If you know what I mean.
@@legoawcstopmotioner9435 nice.
LegoAWC Stopmotioner then you’d be happy for kingdom. We’re getting a lot of the minibots
crazy kids
True. But not at the cost of Beast Wars characters because I like Beast Wars better.
Can we all appreicate the fact that trailbreaker has the trd (toyota racing devolpment) version of hoist's vehicle mode?
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!!!!!!!! :D Trailbreaker is one of my all time favorite Transformers characters, I've been most excited for him then any of the other Earthrise deluxe class figures due to 2 words, black paint. :D Black is my favorite color, so any Transformer that has black as their primary paint job is an instant winner. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
I agree! & thanks so much!
@@PrimeVsPrime You're welcome. :D
Makes me want to finally go out and buy hoist, lol
Andrew Hall go get him. Hoist is a really fun figure.
Been waiting for this review!
When Earthrise revealed the two new figures, I wanted to get Sunstreaker and skip Trailbreaker. I didn't really have any interesting in Trailbreaker, I was fine with just Hoist. But now, after this in hand review, my interesting in getting Earthrise Trailbreaker was peak. He looks awesome.
This guy has a place ready next to my well loved G1 Trailbreaker. After getting hoist I had a feeling this one was gonna be a winner.
I love the mold outside of the arms. Like they couldn't make those things fold up ? like at all?
I'm glad you do reviews, since I have no clue if it's worth to buy most of the transformers you do review
This is Besnik calling PrimevsPrime.
Damn, that clearance issue is TERRIBLE. All kids' Trailbreakers will have battle damage lol. At least it's on the bumper which could look 'authentic'.
I wish they added the simple thing of folding fists, would be a better vehicle profile.
This is one of the best designs in the whole line
I honestly like Trailbraker's design, color scheme and accesories, but I prefer a lot more Hoist
Kind of reminds me of Jackhammer from Mask
Geez, I thought I was good with my upgraded T30 Trailbreaker.... Not so much anymore. This guy looks great!
I hope ToyHax makes a M.A.S.K. Jackhammer decal set for this one!
The partsforming on the back doesn't bother me as much as the "sleeves" or "wings" on the arms. I wish those folded away or came off.
Just like Sunstreaker, never saw this guy in the shelves, it’s a shame!
Come to think about it. When will Earthrise Arcee be released?
You know what they say gotta catch em all earthrise rules
I got hoist and it wasn't my favorite mold. Everyone says he's big, but I found him to be hollow and top heavy. I wasn't a fan of the arm flaps. The arms stick out like sore thumbs in vehicle mode as well, dragging roughly on the ground which makes it almost impossible to get it rolling on all four wheels.
its definitely possible to get it rolling. the arms doesn't scratch the ground. u just need to push the arms more inside the trunk, as per intended
pretty sure you're mistransforming it if the arms are dragging on the ground lol. Both of my Hoist and Trailbreaker rolls smoothly
That head sculpt 👌
I like Trailbreaker's body and weapons, but I like Hoist's head more. I'll probably pop and swap the heads.
I thought about doing the same thing
It's Hoist wearing a new suit and tie:)
Looks cool, but as with the Hoist model, I do not like that he has those side panels behind his arms.
I wish we had gotten that arm piece with Hoist instead of that weird traffic cone looking thing.
But the traffic cone is G1 accurate
Looks pretty good, but if I can nit-pick a little.......
I really prefer his old red eyes/red visor over the blue that he has here.
Guess I'll either break out the paints, or wait for a Toyhax sticker set.
He's one of my favorite autobots
kick into 4 wheel let's go
I dont want to spend more money but I might as well sell off my old brittle vintage and get these awesome things in place. The cartoon is the look I love most.
Don’t get your problem with Hoist. I wasn’t a huge fan until I picked him up, think he’s pretty good actually.
Same. I hated the hollowness. Then my wife saw it at the store and bought it for me. When i started playing with it all the issues i had with him were gone. Now he is one of my favorites. I wanted cliffjumper badly. And when i got it, well let me just say, he is severely overrated.
@@edgarortiz6553 Your wife is really nice. ;)
I really like the Hoist figure and been looking forward to Trailbreaker as well after getting it.
At my local target all trailbreaker preorders are out of stock. I also have Hoist but I am unsure if I should get trailbreaker. Also I NEED Bumblebee
I never understood why a Transformer would use part of their own body as a shield.
FANTASTIC review.
Thank you! :)
No one has reviewed earthrise megatron yet... I’m confused why
Maybe they don’t care about it. The bot mode looks a lot worse than the Siege one and it doesn’t really look like an Earth tank in alt mode.
because earthrise remolds are way better than siege remolds, because they usually have a lot less fuss to worry about in terms of looking like an earth vehicle
Because he is lame and sucks
I love that toy. Amazing review!
Thank you!
With remold, the mold could work for animated ratchet
When will he be available to buy ?
I already got Hoist so I'm good... But I wish those who are ready for Trailbreaker good luck.
Can't wait for Sunstreaker
Nice figure. Those peg wheels are killing me though smh 🤦🏽♂️
C'mon Hasbro!
I wonder if in kingdom we will get the insecticons...maybe bombshell as a deluxe or Voyager?
I have the original. He’s not in the best condition anymore, but I still have him.
THIS is a good partsforming. Optional and just to help the figure to look better, not your shitty Ironhide or Cliffjumper.
He's more complete than Hoist, I'm probably going to buy him
Why do certain car transformers have names based on the vehicles function or something-
Beachcomber(beach buggy) ,trailbreaker(jeep), hoist(tow truck). Etc
Yep this will replace the thrilling 30 one on my collection
Awesome next to each other. Awesome
I just bought Hoist loose, it’s looks better in black as Trailbreaker, who I just ordered
Sunstreaker next?? please compare him with Sideswipe
I thought his name was trailcutter? Or did hasbro have another naming incident?
TheUberGeeks! Trailcutter was the naming accident
His G1 name is Trailbreaker, Trailcutter is the name they used when they had naming problems.
this is the fig im waiting on the most. it does kinda bug me though that the forcefield generator isnt centered over his head like it is with hoist. TBH im baffled as to WHY he's got a rear mounted blaster too actively preventing that. but its a small complaint. i'll deffo be getting this lad.
I hope we get a new Jazz and Brawn.
Somehow I knew you’d have a review of this guy...
My Front wheels don't roll hardly at all :(. Rewatching this video, neither does the one in the review when I watch it closely when he rolls it
This fricken looks awesome
Coolest video ever I love ya videos and channel
I can't wait for the bumblebee
He looks amazing i cant wait to add him into my earthrise collection
I really need this figure
Bruh when are you reviewing the Haslab Unicron?
No offense to Hoist fans, but I couldn't care less about that character. However, I love Trailbreaker. I bought the Combiner Wars Trailbreaker just because I wanted a version of him so badly. I am going to enjoy this new Earthrise toy a lot.
Trailbreaker rocks!
Hope they release an armada red alert with new head
i trully hate with a passion those flaps behind the arms...they could've easily stick a joint in there just to bend them behind the shoulders...
Are you reviewing Sunstreaker or Runamuck Next?
drinking game:
take a drink every time you hear Sculpt, Paint App, or This release
And when he says “showcase” lol
