Aside from that, the only real nit-picky thing I could say about the mold is that those voids left on the sides of the torso (the wheel-wells) make for a bit of an eyesore. Either that or the blue of that window breaks the continuity of colour in a manner that looks out of place.
Overall though, I foresee a mass recall of pre-orders for FT-Outrigger happening in the imminent future lol.

Also, man, that Bee 2.0 just looks bad from every angle.

As much as we all moan that they just re-release the most popular characters ad nauseum. The reality is, those non-top tier characters aren't guaranteed to sell. From my friend's reactions, they don't think Trailbreaker is worth that figure, regardless.

Who am I kidding?
I just cancelled the preorder of some anime sexy girl figure at Amazon.jp to preorder Trailbreaker instead.

I stand corrected

holy hell you look great buddy. It is great to see you looking this good.
I preordered this guy. Trailbreaker is my favorite G1 Transformer, and this toy nails him. Nails him good too. He looks so good! I am in love it how good it looks!
the only thing I want to nitpick is that he did not come with a shield piece in any capacity. He should have something so I can have him projecting a forcefield!
Otherwise, he is wonderful, I cannot WAIT to get him!!!

200$CAN is not too bad a price all things considered.
If the exchange rate for the Yen's value remains the same until my card is charged, it will remain cheaper at Amazon.jp for me. If not, the total price will be equivalent when adding taxes and shipping.

I too, received my notification that my credit card kept bouncing so I needed to update my payment info. Repeatedly. If I don't, my uncancellable preorder will be cancelled.
Oh nyo.
And this morning, it just did.
Oh nyo.

God, he is wonderful.
The robot mode just makes me giggle with glee, he is slick and lovely. And he can throw some great shapes. He is pure joy! I love how awkward but still fully functional he is! He is fun!
Transformation isn't that bad, and his truck mode is pretty hefty, he has some density to him in truck mode. I will keep the shiny grill on him.
This is a dream come true. He is wonderful. I absolutely love him.

Emerje wrote:Been messing around with him myself, he really is an impressive figure. They had to really think outside the box to get an alt mode about the size of a regular Autobot car to unfold into a bot mode comparable to Ironhide and Inferno. The hand swapping gimmick is interesting, sliding off instead of popping off, I really thought you'd just tuck the hands away and plug the guns into the empty space. I do wish his hips were a little wider and his default gun hand wasn't so loose when extended, though it is neat you can transform him without removing it. Also neat the way his shoulder gun splits, the chrome makes it look seamless, you can barely tell. Really a great figure that should satisfy both fans of the old style and cartoon style MPs.

He is really damn good, and he seems like he is sadly going to be underappreciated based on the very limited discussions I am seeing everywhere for him. He is so so good, he deserves much more notice

So for #400, I was thinking Retro "Pink" Hot Rod, since that figure is significant as the first time the character has been given his on-screen colour scheme, the fulfilment of his original prototype appearance, and would have been my first experience with the G1 mould.
But Hot Rod was not yet available in stores and sold out online, so it wasn't clear that I would be able to get him soon. I had a growing pile of figures I hadn't opened yet and didn't want to wait too long before getting to them.
So along comes Masterpiece Trailbreaker. I never really had any connection to Trailbreaker, and like I said it was a sale that motivated me into even considering this figure at all. But while mulling it over, I began to appreciate what this figure had to offer. MP-56 is a perfect realisation of a classic character in toy-form. And for this character specifically, who has received less attention than most of his peers in toylines, it's especially notable that his design is finally being given a very dedicated treatment. While being faithful to the original design is a given in Masterpiece, this figure really makes you appreciate that design. He's very distinctive due to his height, and the way the vehicle parts form the shape of the body to make a uniquely proportioned character among other Transformers. He's got great articulation and plenty of accessories to maximize playability. The transformation has a really nice level of complexity without being unmanageable. He's really a great figure overall to handle and pose. And as I don't have many MPs, he's among the elites of my collection. I've decided Trailbreaker is absolutely worthy of the milestone number.
Then like the next week Pink Hot Rod randomly came back in stock on Pulse so I guess if I had waited a bit this would have been a non-issue but whatever.
So that is the story of how MP Trailbreaker became my 400th Transformers toy. I'm not going to get into much detail on the figure itself because so many have already explained why this figure is great on its own. I just wanted to note what Trailbreaker means for my collection. Here are some photos!
What if...

Diaclone-colored yellow Trailbreaker with a toy-accurate head and toy-accurate guns.
Name seems to be "Rigorous" (リゴラス Rigorasu). We'll need to wait for the official Romanization to be sure.
Will likely be added to Hirofumi Ichikawa's Diaclone-themed MP storyline that's been included with each of these Diaclone-colored MPs.
Also includes a "force barrier" accessory for Trailbreaker.

Also, a closer look reveals that this figure is actually a retool of MP Hoist rather than Trailbreaker. It just uses Trailbreaker's camper top in place of Hoist's towing apparatus. This combination of Trailbreaker parts on the Hoist version of the mold is to make it as toy-accurate as possible.

$170 seems really steep for him

It does, it does.
I checked and MP Trailbreaker was 126 shipped with the good conversion, for myself.
Since it's so fresh, it won't give me a prorated invoice just yet but if it hits 150 shipped, i can live with it.

Agreed DMax.
Emerge, looks like they may be building up to it now we are post Movie release.

Following up on this, after the math, $141 shipped.
That works for me.
