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.
Not to be confused with Ironhide.

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, 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.

He is also known as Trailcutter.

  • Trailcutter (Cyberverse Commander, 2013)
    • Series / Number: 3 / 005
    • Accessories: Howler Missile Launcher, missile
Part of the second wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Commander Class toys, Trailcutter is a redeco and retool of Series 2 Commander Class Ironhide, transforming into a heavily-armored SUV 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.
