In the ongoing war to protect the universe from the evil forces of the Decepticons, sometimes the most valuable thing a Transformer can have is a good friend. In such moments, Trailbreaker’s humor and encouragement are just what his fellow Autobots needs. Hasbro and their overseas affiliate Takara, present the Transformers Encore edition Trailbreaker action figure. This commemorative rerelease depicts the Autobot Trailbreaker in his original, 9-inch die-cast form, one of the Diaclone line of toys from Japan, at that point called Trailcutter, which was later integrated into the Transformers franchise. Transformers Encore Trailbreaker is a rare and wonderful opportunity to experience the first set of Robots In Disguise, the figures that launched decades of animated television programs, volumes of comics from the Marvel and IDW publishing companies, and blockbuster motion pictures. Transformers Encore Trailbreaker is great for hardcore collectors and those wishing to share a bit of nostalgia with a younger generation of Transformers fans As part of the Generation 1 lineup, Trailcutter, aka Trailbreaker, was introduced as a wisecracking, but sometimes self-conscious, member of the original Autobot crew. Serving under Optimus Prime, and disguised as a 4WD camper truck, Trailbreaker often took to the front lines in the war against Megatron and his Decepticon army, protecting Earth’s precious Energon, the life-giving resource needed by all Transformers. Although an invaluable member of the Autobot team, the Transformer’s slow and energy inefficient vehicle mode often became a point of conflict for Trailbreaker, leading the character to feel inferior to faster Transformer peers, such as Wheeljack or Smokescreen. At moments like these, Trailbreaker relied on his close friendship to Autobot hero Hoist and the encouragement of their Prime leader to keep him going. With a renewed sense of purpose, and armed with his indestructible force field projector, Trailbreaker would fight time and again to protect his friends, human and robot alike, from the evil Megatron and his Decepticon army. Trailbreaker has a long history in the Transformers fictional universe. He has been featured in numerous toy lines, from the first wave of characters to a member of the Transformers Combiner set needed to form the gargantuan Sky Reign Autobot Transformer. Later, he was a tie-in to the Transformers: Prime series and as Maximal Trailbreaker in the Beast Wars cartoon. This Encore edition of Transformers Trailbreaker features the hefty metallic body older fans will instantly recognize. Down on four wheels, Trailbreaker is the spitting image of a classic Toyota 4WD camper truck, perfectly matching his disguise from the Transformers cartoon. Then, standing up and ready for action, the Transformers Encore Trailbreaker comes with a number of snap-on accessories to capture the finer details of his original design. Whether rolling out alongside Autobot leader Optimus Prime in truck mode, or standing tall as Trailbreaker, this iconic hero will make a welcome addition to any Transformers toy set, or on display with other Trailbreaker memorabilia.
