Custom Trailbreaker

[snaketales]

Made from a ROTF Ratchet, which I picked up during one of Big W's sales (hence why I haven't used the Ironhide mold). Ratchet's taillights kind of matched Trailbreaker's pinstriping, so that's my other excuse.

I wanted to use an original G1 Trailbreaker head but it was too wide, so I have used a Topspin head. I have seen two colours used for Trailbreaker's visor - blue and red - and I have gone with the colours of the G1 head I have.

The figure looks a bit lankier than I'd prefer but I do like the traditional door wings configuration I have given him.

I have a spare G1 headpiece/forcefield generator buried in my wardrobe somewhere, but for the moment I have painted the underside of his hood flap silver to emulate it.

That's pretty cool mate - he does look a bit 'lanky' :p

I created my own Trailbreaker (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=6071&highlight=trailbreaker) awhile ago to fit into my 'Classicsverse' display. ;)

Nice idea and well done.

I love the paint job and the mold is great for Trailbreaker. Awesome!

Another pretty sweet custom Snakey, Congratulations mate! :D

Nicely done, works pretty well too.

I think the Lanky legs suit him, Trailbreaker has always had skinny legs, he's just been working out and got rid of his Energon gut.
