WHERE??? I've looked high and low and found JACK SQUAT.

I did find an in-scale car hauler that I picked up for 7 bucks at my TRU to use when the Magnus repaint finally gets released, but nadda for my Prime.

Same here. I want trailers for both Prime AND Magnus, and would happily buy repro stickers for each. Pics please!

Have you figured out a connector that will fit over the sqare post on Prime?s legs that will allow it to pivot and clear the feet and knee guards?

I was just gonna use some styrene tubing myself.. a piece within a piece, the bottom piece having a square cut outta it.

you can place 3 or 4 inch long hinges down the sides.... because you can find hinges that big.. but it just may be easier to just go nab a few smaller ones...

Nice looking trailer, however, Prime?s knee guards are going to interfere with the pivoting of the trailer. The trailer is going to hit them every time he tries to make a turn.

Nope I already have that worked out.


Let me guess, you flip up the knee guards so that they rest against the smoke stacks.

you CAN use styrene to make a hitch that rests the trailer higher than the knees ya know.

Yes, but that would also tilt the trailer and lift all but the back most wheels off the ground as well.

This really is coming along beautifully - the Combat Deck's cockpit thing looks really good. I'm perturbed by the array of spikes on the side of the trailer, though... :?

Hehe, that's what I would have suggested. :D But sound like you have a plan.

Almost looks to me like the trailer is a hair too small. Not length wise, but height of it. I could just be noticing the difference between the wheels?

I know it's not prime, but the paint work on the side is pretty cool. You just gonna do stripes and logo, or something else?

His trailer is the right size. The reason why it looks too low is because of Prime?s windvane. Windvanes are meant to top out at the height of the trailer so that it creates a more aerodynamic shape allowing the wind to flow more smoothly over the truck and trailer, decreasing drag, and thus save fuel.

is this going to be a g1-esque trsiler-meaning the same gun pod/reapir bay thins, just like g1 primes?

I have seen that trailer before and now I can't find one for the life of me.

That would be easy. Simply make a waterslide decal of the Autobot? symbol on transparent decal paper about a quarter the size of the Maltisse Cross and super-impose it over the cross

Definately nice. What other gizmos are you going to add?

One thing you micht want to consider if you decide to use my earlier siggestion about the Autobot? symbol, is to skew it a bit to match the angle of the Matisse cross. This is easy to do in Adobe Ilustrator.
