This one looks like it sits a little further up the cab. And it's a bit more realistic than the other one.

I know there's more to see of this-- colors, features, etc.
But this looks like it could be money.

Not too sure what I think about this just yet. It look too boxy. Classics prime has become more sleek now, why should his trailer be the same box?

Let's see what happens.

There's not really much variety in semi trailers, though...at least not if they're realistic.

That 'other' one looks better. Or at least it looks more interesting.

Plain, Simple, Box like shape...

This is exactly the kind of trailer I wanted! Thank you Fans Project.

Indeed. This one looks far too much like the original trailer.

The other one looks like they couldn't decide between a tow behind camper or a trailer. Maybe it is my G1 bias, but a nice simple trailer is all we need.

Speaking of trailers, why hasn't anyone come out with a mass production one for movie prime?

slap some more detail on the sides and we got a winner.

I'm sure it's going to be cool but I have no need for a trailer that doesn't turn into armour for robot mode...I don't display in vehicle mode...

One of the two possible trailers will be great for giving Prime that little extra something. I, for one, will be interested to see painted versions of both prototypes.

News Credits: 3 · Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:19 pm

I look forward to seeing colour prototype pics. :mrgreen:

If it's good, I think I will be picking it up, assuming I have a job then...

It's not like you have to pledge allegiance to one or the other, I'll get both. Prime can have some options.

Good for you, but my pocketbook is telling me that Optimus Prime can be happy with one trailer this time. So it will be time to decide as we see these come along.

I'd like to see it finished. :grin:

News Credits: 9 · Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:48 pm

There are a few more hinges I see. Moar suhprizes???? :shock:

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jan 20, 2009 12:07 am

I already have the other one pre-ordered, but this one looks cool too... sorta... it does look a little plain for classics prime... I like the other one's base mode... I guess they have 'til april to wow me

Now this is MUCH more like it... and from the positioning of the 'skirts' on the bottom the trailer should sit much further forward on the cab than the other trailer we've been seing, for a sleek 'blended' appearance much like the City Commander/Shadow Commander trailer did.

Unless it's painted fugly, SOLD!

Very good for me actually :grin:

All kiding aside, I would love to see even more trailers, flatbeds, tankers, whatever. When I was a kid I always wanted more trailer options for OP. I wish some one would produce a trailer for Leader Movie Prime. I know a lot of you guys prefer Prime to come trailerless, due to cost and storage when in bot mode, but I want every Prime to have a trailer.

I've become a little leery of the trailer upgrades ever since the City Commander set I got broke, and these Prime trailers that are little more than big hollow boxes are not really catching my eye any better. Sure it's definitely nice to have to have something occupying Prime's backside after so many years of seeing Optimus with a trailer of sorts, but this instance just isn't any more worth it to me than seeing him turn into Mickey Mouse or Thomas the tank engine. But that my own opinion.

What part of your CC broke?

I did a quick-and-dirty mock-up of what this will look like with Classics Op:

Larger here.
