    Ok, but I still don't get it. I see your point of CW Trailbreaker I guess replacing Generations Trailbreaker because it's more G1, and I assume a better fit (that is what you mean, right?), but why bring up First Aid? He didn't have a previous version that the CW version was replacing.

    I believe what is being implied is that Trailbreaker should have used the First Aid mold. Which I agree.

    I'm perfectly happy with my Brainstorm as is, but this does look really good. Sadly I still can't find triggerhappy in stores

    Exactly my point. The Offroad mold looks nice but doesn't really suit Trailbreaker (since it omits the bed cover, which is kiiiiiiiiiinda iconic to his design) or Ironhide (in character, yes, but again, the covered bed of the FA mould would suit him better).

    Frankly, I'm surprised that they didn't think to use Offroad's mould for Hound, because that actually suits him (I love the Rook/Swindle mould, but Offroad suits Hound just as well.)

    I really hope this happens officially somehow. Doesn't help that Walgreens Brainstorm is hard to find in Canada, but this is a much better mould choice.

    I love this version but the cockpit doesn't really match the G1 version. It's too far forward & not blocky enough. But I still want both versions. I have an extra Triggerhappy I was hoping to repaint someday. I might make one of these for myself.

    I love the concept, but I feel that the blur mold works better. But thats just my opinion.

    Looks nice! Would've loved this as an actual TR Brainstorm mould.

    It's a wonder they didn't use this mold for brainstorm.. now, I REALLY like the official brainstorm, but this one looks much better, and uses one of my favorite titans molds.

    Hate to be a bother, but do you still have Triggerhappy's original guns or did they go to another project? If you do, please PM me.
