Trailbreaker is an Autobot from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

For some robots, trudging through jungles and deserts can be a massive pain, and fighting through it can be even worse. For a badass wilderness commando like Trailbreaker (aka Trailcutter), however, it's nothing short of a cakewalk. Of course, it partly helps that he uses an impermeable force field to get through these harsh conditions.

Part of the second wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Commander Class toys, Trailcutter is a redeco and retool of Series 2 Ironhide, transforming into a heavily-armored pickup truck with hood-mounted blasters (that end up on his shoulders in robot mode). He comes with a "Howler Missile Launcher" with a pressure-fired missile. The launcher can mount via 3mm post onto his hood, trunk, doors/forearms, and hands.
This version of the mold was redecoed into Huffer.
