Seibertron.com has just been informed that BTS.TOY has posted a few more images of the prototype trailer to go with the Transformers Classics Universe Optimus Prime figure. These images show better angles and lighting, really accentuating the features of the testshot trailer:

Still need to see into what it transforms into.

Also, it reminds me of the series "the highway man" :grin:

It's starting to grow on me. I like the fact that there's articulation at the joint between the cab and trailer. From the hinges on the trailer, it seems that the bay doors open and the sides fold down. I'm kinda tweaked to see what's inside.

Are BTS.Toy and Best Toys the same company? Did they change their name to BTS recently?

It's looking pretty good. Any word on how to order or how much it will cost?

sweet, its even going to have the G1 sticker detail down each side with the autobot logo

i see roller is actaully the bk wheels which is weird
its different as its not the standard box trailer with all that front detail. at first glance i was taken bk by how far bk the trailer sits with prime but not so much now, as the fact it turns unlike magnus lol

its defo a nice addition and lookin forward to it like many others

oh yea, im getting that

I hope that the inside of it totally kicks butt because as far as it apparently sits kills it for me.

So far I like the looks of this...
Most likely it will be a purchase for me.

Hmm,

could that prototype Roller we saw earlier for this trailer actually form the wheels of said trailer prior to transformation? If so, there must certainly be something inside rather interesting. Not likely the Powermaster Armor I keep hoping for, which would likely make it that drone robot thingy from his combat deck.

Putting the Autobot logo on it would not at all be a smart move on their part...FansProject was smart enough to avoid doing anything they could get sued over with City Commander...

oh yea my bad, i didn't think of that

but the blue and white stripes are still highly likey.

i wonder if any other bot can fit inside the trailer, say like CJ or BB

Looks nice!

by **Booda** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 11:45 am

Don't like it. Looks out of place. The Ultra Magnus trailer had the same wheels and was low to the ground like the figure. This trailer looks like it belongs in a different toyline altogether.

Sure about that? A little black & silvery paint and it would match as far as the wheels go. And remember that those trailer wheels are just doubling in those photos; Once transformed they're the wheels for Roller.

I posted these in my thread about this like two days ago.

I am starting to like this more and more, it has elements of the old and new. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Yup, almost the same company. I was told a member left or something, so they changed their name.

Theres a very good reason Roller is the wheelbase of the trailer.

Nice

I think I'll wait and see if FansProject decide to make their Prime trailer that they showed the concept art for as this one looks dodgy.

Nah, they will get into legal trouble if they do that. That is what reprolabels is for!

It looks very cool, but I want to see what is inside of it.

News Credits: 2 · by **Crosscheck** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:52 pm

This one looks like a big pass for me. Hopefully Fanproject will produce a trailer that works similar to the City Commander trailer only it makes God Ginrai. Just my hope. If not, I can live without a trailer for my Prime.

I'll pass, the trailer should be further towards the cab and the angular front looks just bad.

News Credits: 4 · by **Firebird** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 9:37 pm

Well the new pictures make it look a little bit better. But I'm gonna pass on it.

My Prime will remain trailerless unless Fans Project produces theirs. Until then I'm just gonna pretend my Classic Prime has left his trailer in subspace.
