Most obviously, Optimus's trailer should not be a car carrier.
I think, even more then with Magnus where I could forgive loosing it, Optimus needs to retain having his cab transform separately into a smaller "core" robot.
I rather hope they somehow actually include the Powermaster gimmick, and "Powermaster" isn't just in his name. I suppose they could remold/repaint the little guy that came with Magnus into Hi-Q/Ginrai, but then Hi-Q/Ginrai would transform into a car rather than an engine.
So, could a remold of Magnus work? Possibly. I even saw a photo of Magnus fan-mode transformed into a half-way decent base mode that, in a version of the toy remolded to make such a mode intentional, could work pretty nicely. But it would have to be, as I said, one heck of a remold to really work.
(And, as a side note, I wonder if we'll ever get Godbomber/Apex Bomber? Probably not from Hasbro, but maybe Takara or a third party might pop one out to go with Optimus.)
Blasters base mode kinda looks like powermaster primes/ginrais base mode it does from the pictures
