    Is NewAge doing their own G1 Trailbreaker?

    Short answer is... NewAge will eventually get to everyone from seasons 1&2.

    Given NA’s track record with amazing alt modes and beautiful G1 animation faithful robot modes, I think they could. I really want an accurate Toyota Forerunner alt mode. I love my MST Trailbreaker, he may be my favorite Magic Square toy to date, but I have no qualms about replacing him if something nicer comes along.

    @RickyLeeSTF You are absolutely correct. I started getting into G1 legends last year and did so with MS. But what I've seen from NewAge is blowing me away in comparison. NewAge is top dog for G1 Legends scale.

    MS-B09Y coming soon:

    This appears to be an homage to Takara's US only blue version of the original Diaclone toy that G1 Trailbreaker was based on, the Diakron DK-3:

    If NA could go back and updated figures like BB, I might have to switch MS to alt mode and NA to robot!!!

    That Trailbreaker looks pretty good.

    Would love to see them offer a toy head with this one as well. I love legends because I can buy as many repaints as my heart desires for a fraction of the price and size of most MP figures, but I do think they could go one step further on many of these and offer different head sculpts.

    I love that they're doing a Diaclone Trailbreaker, but bummed that they're not retooling the head into the Diaclone head. I really like that weird head.

    Yeah, I dig the colors, but don't have a place for it in my collection. Too much of G1 is repaints, and the last thing I want is a shelf of Seeker skittles in automobile flavors.

    I couldn't pass up MFT's upcoming Hauler, though.

    yeah, i can get behind hauler as well. but that is because i can just him in somewhere with his mold mates. but having just 2 trailbreakers wont work for me.

    Only Legends I buy (or want to buy) are variants. Not the regular old G1 version (because I either have them as CHUG scaled or MP), but different colours. Movie, Diaclone, something else...

    This Diaclone based blue Trailbreaker is thus exactly what I want (although I admit that I was also charmed by an earlier mentioned option of an Animated Ratchet version). But I agree with @TFDAD and @LoserBroadside that it really should've had the diaclone based head for this. It's such a small change but it makes a world of difference. Hope it happens.

    This guy would be really great to do a Captain America paintjob on.

    Paint some wings on his head, stars and stripes on his chest/hood.... find him a shield to hold somehow.

    Eventually, Magic Square will be doing the Yellow Trailblazer, along with the red and blue versions of Crane...
