This is without a doubt THE definitive Optimus Prime figure. The moment I saw it in person I could hear the iconic trumpeting "DAHHH-DAAAHHH-DA-DA-DA-DAAAAH" music from the G1 cartoon.
This version actually makes my 20th anniversary Prime look disproportionate and silly. It lacks the volume of die-cast metal and ball jointed wrists and head of the latter, as well as the wrist comlink, but makes up for it in sheer accuracy, detail, and accessories.
The HUGE version of the G-1's trailer complete with automatically extending stabilizers and front end struts lacks only the missiles for the repair module, the spring loaded roller-deployer and the color tech elements on the inner walls, but these are little things that don't really detract that much from the awesome whole. There should be end caps loaded with these things already!
It made me think of the days when toys actually came this way as a regular thing in terms of sturdiness, size, and variety and volume of accessories. They used to call something like this a "set" back in the day.
Ok, I'm done gushing now.

You should check out the decal set that reprolables has designed for this guy. You can add detail to the inner walls of the trailer if they seem lacking.
