It sure is coming along nicely. Gonna have to pick up another Prime sometime soon to go with it. Hopefully they keep cranking on it so they can move on to Rodimus Prime.

I'm going to have to do some serious re-org when this and the BTS trailer come in.

I'm getting this trailer for Optimus Prime and the other trailer for Nemmy Prime.

That'll make them look a little different on the shelf.

But you guys are right about the reorganizing. I have a lot of that to do soon.

Target makes great little chunky wall shelves that should be just the right length for either trailer with a Prime. Each Prime/Trailer I get is getting it's own shelf so they'll stand out. I just need to find/buy an extra Nemisis Prime now.

It'll be intesting to see how folks wind up displaying these.

Anybody else think it looks kind of huge compared to the cab? Like slightly out of scale almost?

Hmm, well I'm sticking with the BTS version anyway, but it's cool that Fansproject have added the Roller launch feature.

I want them to get started on Rodimus Prime too, I'm dying for that set!

The height is up there but as some pointed out in earlier posts, there are some semis on the road today with that same height ratio between cab/trailer.

As for the width, it's definitely wider than Prime but it appears to match the width of the Commander Armor sets probably so it looks right when linked "God Bomber" style. I suppose it's also so they can fit everything in there.

I'll forgive the size if the contents inside are as good as they have the potential of being.

Ah yeah, that does make sense, matching the size of City Commander. I'm still going with BTS's mainly because to me it matches the stylized look of Classics/Henkei Prime better. Something about the very realistically-styled (and slightly huge) trailer looks strange with the unrealistic cab. Also I've always liked the futuristic sort of look.

Now if they'd made this a Powermaster Prime trailer I'd be all over it! I imagine it would be hard to link with the figure in the same way as the G1 version...or would probably link in much the same way as City Commander, but look like PM Prime rather than Magnus.

it's cool, but so far I can't find any reason to buy it over the BTS one besides the additional guns for the classics characters... it's too much like the original trailer... I might as well put my 25th anniversary trailer on my classics prime... at least the two trailers are spread apart far enough that I can probably afford both (unless they release the weapons separate *please please please*)
