Maybe you're right... But Hasbro shouldn't have abandoned the idea and instead thought of ways to reduce production costs of a Trailer. They should've thought about the satisfaction of its customers---- US!!

I suggest packaging the trailer in Deluxe category. Fold it up if necessary. Do whatever to make it fit into the bubble.

It's the only way to keep it down to $9.99. :grin:

Right you are.... that way price could be an issue. And as some one stated above, there are chances still that the trailer could be attached to current toy, besides, MP had its trailer, why not Classic master piece?

If a trailer comes out attached to the Classics Prime, that means we have to buy Prime all over again.

The shrewdness of Hasbro may just go that way.

Some of my prayers are on that direction!

I'd definitely put out another twenty bucks for a trailer for my Optimus. Especially if it had even more guns.

I think Hasbro should have released a Prime Trailer with the origional. Will Hasbro release one? I doubt Hasbro will, but if there is enough demand for it then maybe a company like JustiToys will make one.

Yes. A trailer would be nice. If they dont make one though I wont loose any sleep over it. I would gladly pay a little more for a trailer as opposed to another crappy repaint.

If it comes with all "features" and, per say, attachments... I am in

That's a big possibility. :-?

But that's not a problem for me... I can trade my 2nd Classics Prime fig if ever the Trailer's attached in the pack.

What if Hasbro released a Classics Rollers only? No trailer. :lol:

same analysis here... :-?

ok back to the heading for this topic...

Hell yes, first and foremost, Optimus Prime should always have a trailer.. regardless of design, a back pack, some other large appendage that detaches from his aft end while in altmode, plain and simple, otherwise I feel as if he's just incomplete..

Well said, straight and simple.. :APPLAUSE:

Optimus Prime really needs a Trailer to complete the revered/noble character, and that's the bottomline..

The Voyager Prime mold is one of my faves, heck I would buy him 4 times if i could find him on the shelf!
I wants me an army of C Primes!

I'm a sucker for Movie and Classic Voyager Optimus Prime..truly among the greatest Prime figures ever! and even better if BOTH WILL HAVE THEIR NEW TRAILERS! Woohoo! :APPLAUSE:

by **BOTS and CONS** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:00 pm

YES!!! Hasbro should release a new Classics Trailer for Classics Optimus Prime just in time for the new TF Universe line! Woohooo! :APPLAUSE:

THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES!!! :APPLAUSE:

I think it would be cool...
I don't think it's realistic, but I would get it.

Didn't read through all of the pages, but maybe it could come with some extras, like weapons, ooooh, and maybe a bonus cassette figure for Soundwave, like Frenzy.
In fact, take it up a notch and include a Classics Huffer figure!!

What I ended up doing with mine was taking an old black G2 Prime trailer, put G1 Reprolabels on it and modified it to hook to Classics Prime in truck mode.

It looks real good and the black trailer really goes with it well IMO.
