My combiners obsessed friend love to have a trailer with his Combiner Wars truck bodies. And because he recently bought the Perfect Effect upgrade kit for his Battle Core Optimus (turned into Thunderclash with repros), he love to have a trailer to store all the extra junk when the team is not combined.

So I ordered a vintage trailer of G1 Ultra Magnus and I used my reissue to make his custom right away.

The trailer cannot turn when pegged on both feet of the Optimus, but it's a perfect fit. I drilled some holes to fit the accessories and the Optimus "diaper" squeeze inside the trailer with no problem.








The whole team together. Offroad is now a good guy and seeing "Exhaust" having no-smoking signs all over made no sense as a decepticon.



Here's ULRA DEALER in his bot mode. His purpose is to carry all the leftovers when the rest of the team are in bot mode.





Optimus's "diaper" squeeze just right between Ultra Dealer's shoulders.




And the whole team in bot mode. I made a big gun for "Optimus" using leftovers from my destroyed SW Xover Falcon.





And combined.






I was tired of those floppy balljoints so I fixed them... permanently.



And once my friend found back his two missing guns, Ultra Dealer is complete for the combined mode.



So, what do you guys think?

Pretty cool! Though I'd have used KIKI fix on those PE feet balljoints. Or floorpolish.
No PE hands with those feet?
Clever use of Powerglide!

Thanks! It was pretty fun to make. Why no PE hands? They were a bit too "delicate" for the theme of this big brawler. For the feet, I tries super glue to fix them but it was a complete failure and I couldn't make it better. So extreme measures had to be taken. What's that KIKI thing? Never heard of it.

Powerglide have lost his tailfins because those suck and are easily lost. But he work well as armor and there's many configurations possible!

I'm currently making something more extreme than Untra Dealer. I'll show it this weekeend. Stay tuned!
