HK-TK has posted images of the Classic Optimus Prime Trailer Set. The set will include Roller and a gun. No word one when this set will be released.

Prototype Sketch - shadowed
Roller – front angle
Roller – front top
Roler – side
Roller - rear
Gun

redo the links please.

I really want to see the trailer, but there's a very good chance I'll get this, even if it's very pricey.

Which ones are you having trouble with? They all seem to be working fine when I click on them.

Wish it showed the actual trailer, but still looks interesting...

I think I will buy this!!!

Aren't FansProject or TFCToys making a trailer set as well?

I'll reserve judgment till I see the trailer proper.

Though I really like the work on Roller.

Aw man! I was hoping for a Classics Powermaster Prime!!!

nvm, its working now

Sure, Roller looks cool, but without pictures of the trailer (and any unusual features it contains, such as combining with Optimus), I think the jury remains solidly in deliberations on this one.

it looks like generation 1 prime trailer attachment not like the powermaster version kinda dissapointing on my end really wanted something to have prime in supermode evil & magnus have one no prime.

looks great so far is any proof that fans projects is making a trailer for classics? i hate to order 2 trailers this one & fans projects

Roller looks good, but am also wondering what they'll do with the trailer itself. Will it be an armor or will it be a base?

Looks very interesting! FansProject better get their Powered Commander set out before this set steals their thunder.

Roller looks nicely detailed. Remind me: the gun, it is for Roller right?

Did G1 roller have his own gun or could you just stick Prime's gun on him?

Autobots Transform and Roll Out to the Picnic! Megatron may have picked the best spot by now!
its gonna be a caravan i know it

I'd prefer a base IMO. Let Ultra Magnus have his day. Between the TFA figure and the CC armor/trailer Mags is finally gettin' the love he deserves.

The more of these larger scale products from garage companies, the sooner I think Hasbro is going to step in and have a word with them...

If this is just a trailer and FP makes a Powermaster upgrade, I don't think there will be much competition...FP won't have to worry about anyone stealing their thunder

If these guys come out with a trailer base and FP comes out with Powered Convoy I might end up getting both. Good for me bad for my wallet.

They showed a teaser almost a year ago. Nothing new has been shown, but apparently their still working on it. No plans for a PM Prime armor, as the Powered Convoy repaint CC would be their armor for classics prime.

The gun can be attached to Rollar, or given to Classics Bumblebee.

I think as long as these companies stick to products like this, which require you to purchase Hasbro's product first, they should be safe. But I'm certain these companies will start making their own full TF figures, and when that happens, Hasbro will definitely step in since the toys will be based off their IP, and start competing with them. If they know whats best, then they should stick to these upgrade sets.

I don't like the shape of the trailer in those images, it should be more like G1, i.e. more blocky less angular. I also think the trailer hooked onto Prime doesn't quite look right, it's too far to the back wheels of the truck. Should be closer to the cab.

Terrible idea IMO. The classics line is meant to be a contemporary re-imagination of G1. Does classics Optimus look exactly like G1 in alt mode? No, so why should his trailer?

Plus the trailer should match the toy it's being paired with. That synergy is all that should matter.

i will get this, i like my primes to have trailers.

It looks like Roller is the wheels of the thing. I wonder what further oddness will be involved.
