I've come to the conclusion that when one becomes a Prime, one gets a trailer. The trailer is a phallic symbol only, it is only used to keep the other Autobots jealous.
what i meant to say was that what will the trailer do? i mean Magnus' trailer turns into an armor, what will Rodimus' trailer do?
then again, it could turn into a command center like Optimus'
From memory, i can think of 3 different transforms that they did with his trailer in the toon:
1. The most common, was that the trailer is part of him, and they showed things like the rear wheels being hidden/revealed from his shins. Most notable episodes to mind are; Call of the Primitives and The Return Of Optimus Prime (we see him transform, jump over magnus, and transform again)
2. On one occasion i can think of (Only Human) they had him transform like the '80s toy, but we never saw the trailer transform.
3. the one that made me really start to pay attention though, was in Face of Nijika, where he gets forced over a cliff edge, and the trailer section disengages, we see the full 'Hot Rod' car, he transforms, hits solid ground, transforms back into the car, and the trailer comes racing up behind him.
Basically, the trailer was and wasnt useless in the toon. you've just got pick ur preference.

Maybe an add-on to make Counterpunch actually different from Punch for that very exclucive figure? It always bugged me that Punch wore Counterpunch on his back (and vice versa) and armor would give him a different look for 'con mode. Or even a conversion kit to turn Sunstreaker into Punch / Counterpunch.
Maybe some new armor peices to turn Jetfire into a Decepticon? Hell, they can even make a more 'toon accurate backpack for that, swords where the missiles ought to go ... restyled helmet ... stuff like that. Not sure how they'd deal witht he wings. Package in stickers?

I don't support a Jetfire repaint mainly because he didn't have one when he was evil. He was still red and white, just with a 'con symbol. Plus, FP can't really do a repaint, so there's no point in adding it to a Jetfire armor wish.
