If the convention is the 15th they better get past prototype stage pretty fast.

yea i kinda have to agree. its looks cool except for the head. it is a little too big. and i dont mind the vehicle mode cept for the fact that it doesnt connect right for me. it should be up to the back of the trailer. but thats just me. cant wait to see it in color though.

I realize it's unfinished and hasn't been painted yet, but that's several different shades of awful. It really is.

So close yet so far. Was it really impossible for it to connect to Prime like City Commander does?

doesnt it supposed to have two rifles? :-? when and if the second tralier comes out is it going to connect to the front of this so called trailer if yes then i guess it will be great other than that bot mode looks cool except the big head. trailer mode sad just sad until we get to see more of the second trailer then i can get happy about the trailer and only if it connects to this one. the 15th thats only 11 days away so wheres the finished product?????

The only Optimus Prime I had as a kid was Powermaster and I started really reading the comics on a regular basis around issue 70 so Powermaster Optimus is one of my favorites. I'm willing to buy this from someone attending if they've (understandably) changed their mind but I'm not willing to do the eBay scalping markup. The vehicle mode looks incomplete and I hope they designed the Bomber upgrade to attach to it rather than be a second trailer.

I've waited for years for Fansproject to do one and now that it's all but definite they're never going to, I'm willing to settle! :lol:

The head looks too big, and the "alt" mode looks like crap. It trails too far behind the cab, and there's no ground clearance. This thing needs to go back to the drawing board.

That has to be one of the hardest to look at Prime heads I've seen in a while. :oops:

Ok... the wheels don't turn, they are molded on. just put on your 'stupid filter' and take a good stare at them. See it?

Also, unless it's alt mode is supposed to look like a junk collector trailer [you know, with all the stuff just dumped in?], they failed.

Then they should have sought more customer feedback before letting it progress this far.

Really all it needs is a new head mold. Paint apps could possibly save the trailer, considering there will be a second part to it.

You can definitely see the potential.

If it does end up not being awesome at all, I'm sure we'll see at least a few amazing kitbashes from it.
