This figure feels like they are really hitting their stride with balancing great looks with great engineering. He doesn't feel overly complicated in any way and doesn't feel like he's going to break if you look at him wrong. Overall an amazing figure.
@chicken soup Hasbro and Takara-Tomy are separate corporations that do business together, they are not the same company. When Hasbro sells Transformers Masterpiece figures in the west, they just import the Takara-Tomy product and throw an English language cardboard wrapper over the Japanese box. Hasbro has nothing to do with the Masterpiece line other than importing them.
Fun fact: originally in the promo images he had an extra gimmick where you can change the triangle bits on the windows to flip down to make it a very dark grey to match the car better. And be cateful with the legs since the instructions said to rotate it inwords rather than out
Fun fact: Bayverse Ironhide was inspired by G1 Trailbreaker. (as him being a truck instead of a van, he’d Trailbreaker’s color scheme and had built-in weapons)
got mine yesterday, really an impressive figure. I'm amazed by the mass shifting from the altmode to the robot mode. For an extra comparison, in vehicle he's more-or-less half of MP Inferno lenght, but in robot mode he's as tall as him. The folding out is impressive.
I am really loving this guy! I did like I always do with a new bot, and attempted to figure out the puzzle of his transformation without reading the instructions first. I gasped when I figured out the leg transformation and saw how smooth and clean it is. The backpack is a little iffy, but all in all, really great Masterpiece figure. Thanks for the review! I like hearing your thoughts on these even if I already have them, and your photography is really nice to look at.
The top of the backpack folds in just a little more to be angled similar to the bottom of the backpack and become flush with the side panel. Super common missed step in all these videos popping up.
Firepower (renamed "Fireblast" somewhere along the way) is exactly what the 3 is. In order, the stats have been: Strength, Intelligence, Speed, Endurance, Rank, Courage, Firepower/Fireblast, Skill...and yes, I had to double-check the cards for Optimus Primal and Blackarachnia (because for some reason, the cards of the Beast Wars MPs actually have the English words above the Japanese kanji, while the G1 MPs _don't_). It's also a jarring thing when you consider that the stat displays on the G1 Headmasters (and I think the Maketoys ones, too) actually swap a couple around so it's Strength, Speed, Intelligence.🤨🧐🤔🤷🏽♂️ Ironhide and Ratchet pulled some serious mass shifting as well. Their Cherry Vanette vehicle mode is TINY, almost CHUG level tiny, while their robot mode... let's just say that it amazes me that nobody's done a custom as the Jolly Green Giant. Like what kinda black magic is going on here?? Trailbreaker (and the inevitable retool into Hoist) just takes it the next half-step up!! Meanwhile, I don't care that it's show accurate, I really don't like how the front end of the truck sits at an angle instead of straight down like literally every Trailbreaker (and Hoist) toy before MP56, including the Earthrise...
It is normalcy how the facesculpt looks nothing like Trailbreaker looked in the cartoon. As usual, Fanstoys nailed the facesculpt of their Trailbreaker. Outrider seems like he walked out of the toon. Sad that Takara messed up this badly on a defining feature.
He looks nothing like the cartoon version as his colors aren't right and his chest is way too high up. His alt mode comes in third place after Takara Tomy and X-transbots. Yeah, I have Outrider and I like him more than my X-transbots mainly because I despise the shoulders so much.
Nice I got all the transformers from all the videos of the transformers but I have pre ordered the transformers rise of the beast but I can’t wait to pre order freezer
Great review! i have the 3rd party FansToys version (Outrider) which I really like. I wasn't planning to get the official TT Masterpiece - but you and other reviewers are really selling me on it!!
I wonder if MP Hoist will be a retool or a brand new sculpt altogether, seeing as how Hoist and Trailbreaker had very different animation models despite using the same toy.
Sideswipe and Red Alert had different models but the toys used the same molds. I’m not expecting another Cheetor and Tigatron affair when Hoist arrives for the line.
Biggest surprise here is the official licensing of Toyota. Really like that the transformation isn't completely over engineered like say the last movie Bumblebee. Also really good interchangeable pieces allowing an authentic G1 look in both modes.
WOW. 🤯 I know his vehicle mode is an 80s style Toyota truck but it looks amazing! His robot mode a little bit less so but that vehicle mode is damn near perfect and I might buy him just for that!!! Trying to get a complete G1 collection going here and he is a must have!!! Great review!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I think the hallmark of a true masterpiece is a good vehicle mode, good robot mode, and fun transformation that isn't complete hell (think Unique Toys) and I think this guy definitely fits that!
I never knew that Trailbreaker alt mode was a Toyota vehicle 😃? This figure is so masterpiece 😄. The transformation on Trailbreaker is so very smooth, this figure was the far the best attempt how smooth this transformation is 🙂. Hopefully Takara Tomy keep continue create beautiful Transformers masterpiece on future 😊. Of course i do not want to buy this figure attempt how expensive this figure is 😅, however i so impress how amazing this figure is 🙂. Despite i too much focused collect Jurassic World Dinosaur 🦖🦕 figure than Transformers figure, however not meaning i stop watching you reviewing Transformers figure, i always keep watch your video, no matter what because someday Hasbro will be create Studio series after Transformers War For Cybertron and Fall Of Cybertron video game 🎮, so that's mean you will be review that figure on near future, i cannot wait for that ☺️. Once again, Takara Tomy masterpiece Trailbreaker is so amazing and beautiful Transformers figure 😊, great job, PrimevsPrime 🤗.
Masterpiece TB is $150-160 Usd Masterpiece Bumblebee is $119 usd Bumblebee is quarter maybe even less then Trailbreaker yet only costs $40 dollars less but has the size of a Small deluxe and the engineering of a Voyager/Deluxe. Plus the stupid accessories. I don't see where that pricing makes sense. But the pricing for Trailbreaker here is Amazing. Good figure solid proportions Tall and has a good amount of paint. Kinda want this thing
I like the Earthrise trailerbreaker better. I don’t know what it is about masterpiece but I don’t like the smoothness that you can see in the figure. The Earthrise did pretty well so I do not mind
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?
3 is most assuredly indicative of Trailbreaker's speed. I think Ironhide may be the only one slower. I've always liked this character. I would really like to have an Earthrise. So hard to find.
8:44 you got the backpack wrong. So you're like the 4th one I saw that got it wrong. Yeah it's kinda hard to catch without watching the actual official transformation video from Takara. 11:06 it wont break if you do the really safe version of the modding. Even the forceful one doesn't really damage it.
Eh. Not a fan of the gappiness between the windshield-chest and hood gut. On the plus side, it looks like Takara-Tomy are finally waging a war on unwieldy back kibble.
@@PrimeVsPrime Thanks for the quick response! I hesitated at first with it being a movie bot and all, but looking at it now... Uh, yeah, it's incredible.
@@PrimeVsPrime I've been following your videos for a long time but I think this is the first time I've made a comment.

Found this video that helped me understand how to apply pressure to unlock the extra poseability in the shoulders: th-cam.com/video/YToo584Cwu4/w-d-xo.html Looks like there is a manufacturing problem where the plastic is still adhered in that area. when i got mine "unlocked" I had the same nub mark. But now the joint moves much more freely and I am able to use it without feeling like i'm forcing anything.
I know this isn’t relevant to the figure, but please don’t become one of those TH-camrs who always asks to “like and subscribe.” It just gets old really fast, and especially with the people who do it in the most obnoxious ways.
@@PrimeVsPrime the top edge pushes in further so it matches the seam line that makes an obtuse angle from the bottom angle. You can see it on promo pictures, the box, and the instructions to compare

He's a pretty good figure with a sweet-lookin licensed Toyota mode, and I love the options to swap the grills for a realistic or toon accurate look.

This looks super sick! The mainline version looks so sloppy in comparison
It is pretty neat!
Wow I'm impressed with Mp Trailbreaker.
Me too!
Gor mine yesterday and an enjoyable transformation. He is pretty articulated as well.
Wow I am considering buying this
Combining the toon aesthetic with the elegance of classic MP = gud accurate toy
Now I'm going to wait for the inevitable Diaclone repaint and Hoist.
I've recently been thinking about what to do and I've decided to start collection G1 Transformers
I really like the vehicle form, the robot form is great from certain angles, the torso feels a little sloppy with quite a few gaps.
Great review! i have the 3rd party FansToys version (Outrider) which I really like. I wasn't planning to get the official TT Masterpiece - but you and other reviewers are really selling me on it!!
I don't think either choice is wrong... I just prefer the legal one
I wonder if MP Hoist will be a retool or a brand new sculpt altogether, seeing as how Hoist and Trailbreaker had very different animation models despite using the same toy.
I imagine they'll pull design concepts from Trailbreaker with retooling to make up for differences in characters
Sideswipe and Red Alert had different models but the toys used the same molds.

I still prefer outrider but I wish that it also came with other faces.
The "3" in his stats are probably his speed. It was mentioned a couple times in the cartoon that he isn't the fastest vehicle.
That means fire power in Chinese/Japanese word "火力"
They should do a MP of Jolt (Me)
Oh maybe!

I think the vehicle mode looks way better on the Masterpiece, but like both robot modes equally tbh.
NOW I WANT ONE but it’s abit out of my budget 😢

12:41 Don’t worry trailbreaker, it’s been blue ever since I clicked on the video.
tbh, he definitely beats the ER one in vehicle mode but for some reason, I prefer the robot mode of the ER one

Hey PrimevsPrime, do you still collect Legend scale Newage? (Or other legend scale cies). Been a while since you’ve reviewed those.

3 is most assuredly indicative of Trailbreaker's speed. I think Ironhide may be the only one slower.

You're just slightly off - PvP is right in assuming 3 to be about his firepower. The 4 is for the speed.

That’s not a single joint. Definitely double jointed elbows with great range. Single joint would never bend that deep.
Not a bad figure, but definitely not as good as the Fan Toys version IMO.
Eh, the thing looks ugly as sin and lacks the kibble he should have. So yeah, the mainline one is better
Do you use instructions
Not a fan of these animation style bot modes without any surface detailing. Hound was OK but Skids was awful. This one doesn't look much better.
ngl all those slider hinhes make me worries for his longevity
Too many transparent plastic danger zones during transformation. :(
