The name or term "Trailbreaker" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Trailbreaker (disambiguation).
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.
