    Got him today. I was really excited to finally get a masterpiece Trailbreaker. I never got the V1 version but if this was an improvement, I would of been real disappointed with the 1st release even more.

    His shoulder clearance bothers me. It keeps you from rotating a full 360 without hitting the body. The way those tiny tabs that suppose lock both halves of the torso keep popping out when I turn his waist.

    There's only one set of googles for his additional face plates and they're a pain to get out. The lack of ratcheted joints in the hips is also disappointing. This is a solid 5 out 10 for me. But I'm keeping him til we get a decent Trailbreaker from a different 3rd party company. I don't know why I keep giving xtransbots a chance.

    Looks pretty great in the review, I like the colours a lot more than the original. I have him on the way now

    got mine today glad i missed the boat on the first one and then kept missing it on the aftermarket :D  only thing i don't like are the thumbs they look awkward , was sort of hoping i had random silver weapons in mine as i'm not sure how i feel about the white which i might end up painting silver

    my copy likes to lean back you have to position it a few times before it stands up straight

    now i have this not counting the 2 combiner teams aerialbots and protectobots all i need to complete that part of my collection is hound , warpath , brawn , pipes and outback and 3 of those are on their way and the other 2 there have been none i like

    just a case of swapping out certain ones for better ones that come along

    On the V2, how does this compare articulation wise to FT Spoiler / Roadking? I am really loving that happy face...

    I understand no individual fingers articulation, but other than that?

    Ab Crunch?
    Head Tilt down?
    Fun to pose in relaxed poses?
    Side Friction Joint on the hips?
    etc?

    Also, sorry, may have asked before, but is the white painted?
    Does it have a good heavy feel in hand?
    Is it as good as their Seaspray? That is my number 1 XTB figure ever in everything.

    Teletran-1 posted Ben's review 2 posts above yours. :) 

    You can also search for @TigerBlade's posts in this thread for some in-depth comparisons to V1 and impressions in general.

    I am old and forgetful, and those were probably already answered or some of them...

    He definitely doesn’t have an ab crunch. I’ve asked that already.

    This Toon reissue could be the next color-gate on TFW. The black plastic is off-black, it's like tinged with purplish, grayish hues. Was the color mix cut with some colors other than pure black? Who knows. But it looks kinda odd in hand.

    Will probably display well next to the forthcoming light gray reissue of Ocular Max Jaguar that also looks off. :)

    Their Cosmos (Klaatu) really is amazing. One of my favourite figures and IMO could pass off as a FansToys. I was really (happily) surprised and led to my preorder of Aegis.

    I agree. Klaatu was and still is a great cosmos in both modes. Nothing like Aegis though. Though I must admit his truck mode is nice.

    Nope, tight tolerances on the test shot cracked it. Was reported at the time.
