Good eye! I'm going to guess there is a way to shove the hand in his robot mode backpack to give him that classic Trailcutter look. I'm going go try it with Ironhide right now.Gearslide wrote:Woah, what?
Did I miss something?
How come Trailbreaker's Gestalt Hand/Foot is so radically different from the others in the line? It's got two massive fingers and a very differently shaped thumb!
I like it! It adds more diversity to combiner limbs! But why him? Is it to make it fit better in the bed of his truck mode?

Accidentally.

It looks like these are the international packaging (with multiple language representations of "Includes"). Perhaps these are just the international versions and we'll still be getting comics in the US.

I don't get the whole thing about people complaining about repaints, especially when the moment Starscream comes out theres always a "when will we see Thundercracker\Skywarp". Like - c'mon - the seekers even have the same heads
Transformers and repaints go hand-in-hand and its been stuffed full of them since the very first wave in 1984

A screw hole in the window of Trailbreaker is the worst.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

It was noticed, and lightly discussed a few pages/posts ago, but it is an interesting mystery, no doubt. I'm thinking it is to play on the old G1 notion that Trail Breaker had the interchangeable hand and weapons gimmick. I'm also liking the above theories that it helps make it look more like a camper top in vehicle mode, and maybe pegs on his back some how in robot modefor a more G1 appearance.

For certain characters its okay, if they were always similar. The seekers, Trailbreaker and Hoist, Grapple and Inferno, cassettes, Ironhide and Ratchet. These are guys have always been the same mold so its okay.
Prime and motormaster? Silverbolt and Cyclonic? Vortex and 30000 other helicopters? Dead end and 40000 other car molds?
Hell no.
Yes, reprints have always had a place, but never to the extent that combined wars has shoved down our throughts.

But...we were talking about 4 characters who aren't on your "hell no" list, unless you're counting Smokescreen as the Dead End mold (which is so heavily retooled that's it's closer to "shared engineering"). Even then, he still works because he and Prowl "have always been the same mold so its okay."

Just thought of something:
Q: What might that foot look a little like if you can mount it metal side up with the thumb out?
A: A tow apparatus...
EDIT: Also explains why the arm-cannon is on the right...
