Description Trailbreaker started with two key ingredients. A 1/32 scale Toyota Pickup with camper model kit and an animated ratchet. The head is from alternator's swindle. The shoulders are cast off of g1 trailbreaker. The Forearms are off a KO hero megatron. The shoulder canon, complements of universe prowl. The hand is an alternators casting by Ptitvite (awesome). The shooter hand is a g1 TB missile. The waist and legs came from excellion. Knee pads were cast off g1 tb. Scratchbuilding here and there. The force field is half of a dome with clear piping as a handle. I can't remember the toy line the dome came from but it involved dragons. The decals I designed and made myself except for the white stripes, the 4WDs, the arizona license plate and two of the bumper stickers were printed my Boggs6ft7 (also awesome). Paints are duplicolor for the alt mode and model master enamels for the rest. Future finish is the clear coat.

Jaf's masterpiece trailbreaker was a huge influence in getting me bashing and I went back to his pics a lot for this.
Spoonman's current TB project kept me on it.
Big thanks to them both!

Thanks for looking guys.

This is such a great idea that I might have to do one of these for both Trailbreaker andΒ Hoist. Maybe even Ironhide, too...

Great design - Trailbreaker is one of my favourite TFs, and it would be nice to have a toy of him that's not a Legend class.

I think we'll probably end up getting one sooner or later.
thanks.

A more nice G1 cartoon design mold. I like it a lot well done!

That is great work. It's good to see a largely forgotten character being remembered like that.

I hope that if the folks at Hasbro ever decide to make a universe/generations Trailbreaker (and the inevitable Hoist-variation ), that it'll look as close as possible to this one!

very nice...
a somewhat unappreciated G1 fav of mine~
also, I noticed excellion/ cybertron hotshot's legs & prowl's cannon before i read the description (which makes me feel vaguely accomplished)
