Ahh, now its time to talk about megatron's last meal

Another criminally underused character. His self-esteem is already low enough, give the big guy some love.

Me and Trailbreaker:
🤜🤛
“Lack of self worth”

Fun Fact: Trailbreaker's alternate mode is a Toyota Hilux, a vehicle that the Top Gear team attempted to destroy. It survived all of their attempts to kill it.

“Looks like somebody needs a force-field!”

As sad as it is that Trailbreaker is often kicked under the rug, the fact that he is getting a masterpiece toy makes me ecstatic

trail breaker is basically that one dude on the party that would rather be funny so the party didnt get too boring

I miss Trailbreaker, he was a cool character and love his force field.

"Ironhide, Wheeljack, Trailblazer!"
and I took that personally

@hahalol940 5 years ago

I always thought it was funny how trailbreaker basically existed just to be a forcefield, like every time he appeared, you knew he'd use one. Especially compared to other characters with powers, which were rarely used.

@cyberprime9355 5 years ago

Trailbreaker is one of a few characters I can relate with. I remember having low esteem when I was in college (Not that it helped since I had a Sunstreaker complex at the time) but, I persevered and then graduated, but not before I had broken down crying during the first semester. But, I am better now than I was 3 years ago

Megaton's Master Plan Part 2 was an unforgettable episode - the autobots would have been toast without that forcefield as they were heading towards the sun. It came out of nowhere - one of the best moments in the timeline.

Trailbreaker has always been my favorite Transformer toy since he was the first and only toy I got that was brand new in the box, and it was jointly given to me by my grandma and my aunt. All other Transformers I got were from yard sales or second hand back in the day.

@destronlaserwave9566 5 years ago

Trailbreaker, I think he's one of the more under appreciated Transformers from the 1984 lineup. Not one of my favorites, but still a character who should be used more.

Optimus calling him Trailblazer... that one got past Wally Burr!

Trailbreaker looked amazing. I wish he was in the movies. When I first saw trailbreaker I thought he was g1 roadbuster cuz of the visor and shoulder weapons as well as many weapons on his body lol
