    I reckon like XTB have with their Dante mold, Fanstoys realise they've missed the current boat with this and are going to sit on it for a couple more years when there may be demand for another Trailbreaker again. I've had Badcube's and XTB's versions, but neither have sat quite right with me, so I'm keen to see this too.

    I finally gave up and got Terraegis.

    Not excellent, but Trailbreaker was always just a background character to me. Either he did nothing, or he was the deus ex machina for the episode (whenever the writers got backed into a corner storywise Hound, Mirrage or Trailbreaker pulled the same old cheap solution out of their butt). Just having him in the background helps complete my arkbots collection.

    It really seems as if Takara is trolling FansToys with this one. There have been rumors of an official Trailbreaker and Hoist for more than a year. I almost feel that Takara is just waiting for FansToys to show their colored test shots to announce theirs at this point.

    Trailbreaker creating a force field just before the Autobots plummeted into the sun is one of my favorite G1 moments of all time!

    No they're not. That came from a mistranslated interview where the interviewer randomly asked about those two and the TT guy said IF they did them, they'd want to do it in a way that differentiated the two. But they never actually said they were working on them...

    That’s not the rumor. Takara doesn’t reveal what they are working on. So your inference it was coming from that interview is incorrect. The rumor came from a source at a factory that Takara works with. (Allegedly). That’s why it’s a rumor. But, thank you so much for correcting me. Do you feel better now?

    I was just trying to provide useful info as it's a fairly new clarification to a long-running misconception, but feel free to be put off by something that was meant to help...

    Sorry man. I don’t mean to be so snappy. I’m just tired of always being corrected on these boards.

    It’s not coming anytime soon. It was a victim of to many Trailbreakers in a small market. Same thing happened to Xtb inferno and grapple. Hopefully we will see it next year when all the other Trailbreaker’s are a couple years old.

    Yet FT had no problem announcing Apache when other companies announced their 3P Springer. Same with Arcee.
