why did takara ditch roller for mp-04?
when i got my mp-04 figure in the mail, it came to my surprise after reading several complaints from fans stating roller wasn't include in the set. so what's the reason why takara ditch roller, however they made one for hybrid style convoy, the minature version of prime.

If you want to know the answer the person you should pm is Seibertron. He seems to be one with most of the answers.

No, I got mine from Kool Toyz back in like February. It was a set that came with the transformable trailer, 4 extra tires, 2 sticker sheets(1 glossy, 1 matte), & the long smoke stacks for the cab.
I was already looking for the longer smoke stacks so this set was perfect.
I'm glad I bought it now because they sold out in a few days.

When Takara announced the MP-04 release they stated that roller would be an exlcusive available to people that joined a TF Club in Japan. You had to pay $70 US for the membership and you would get roller for MP-04 in the mail. That was the last that I heard about MP-04's roller. Not sure if he was ever produced though or if the club ever happened since Tomy is now in charge.

Got this same trailer too and for less money!!!! Seing it's a knock off it could be a little better quality but considering that Takara dropped the ball on their trailer this is far more superior then MP-04...
