    Default custom classics Trailbreaker (take two)

    This is the last for the year, I promise

    Repainted Kup and added G1 Trailbreaker toy's head and forcefield generator. Alas the head won't fit for transformation, so it has to be removed when turning into a vehicle.

    I removed his left hand and replaced it with a barrel from a spare Scourge gun.

    My first version used a movie Ratchet with a Twin Twist head. The vehicle mode is fine but I wasn't a fan of the bot mode. Although I do like the head I used, I didn't use it on this new version because I had just used it on Nightbeat, plus I may be able to use it for a future project. G1 Trailbreaker's head is a unique design and I doubt I could re-use it as easily. And it makes him stand out.

    oh WOW!! that works really well the head might be a little big but overall that fits trailbreaker to a tea.

    You should show hasbro so they make it and then i can buy it

    edit: would the head from your first Trailbreaker custom fit this one? cause that might work just as well

    That does look good. I wouldn't have expected Kup to work as Trailbreaket but you've succeeded.

    That's a great custom. The Kup mould works really well as Trailbreaker with the new head.

    Yeah it works! I wonder if Hasbro has thought of this.

    I reckon the head from the first custom would fit, but I'd have to drill a hole in the back of it for the forcefield generator to fit in. It'd probably be easy enough to do, but I think I might have used my luck up in not drilling into my fingers when I drilled a hole in the base of the G1 head for it to connect. And I do like using the original toy head to set him apart.
