The Energon Pub

i have been wondering where you other collectors keep ur OP trailers. do you keep em with the primes on the shelves or put them in a separate container with all the rest of the trailers?

I only have 2 primes with trailes, G1 and G1 Powermaster. G1 is in truck mode with trailer behind, and Powermaster is in "super mode" So I guess I vote for with on shelf.

Lets see.

Encore is in his box so its all there.
Armada's trailer is in a big plastic Rubbermaid tub along with Cybertron Prime and his Trailer parts and a bunch of other TF's. While armada Prime is mostly permanently combined with Jetfire.

Energon Prime's is behind him. with all 4 OP units inside. Prime is combined with Wingsaber.

R.I.D. is in his box.

R.I.D. Ultra Magnus's trailer parts connected to him in Vehicle mode.

I have them all in storage except for G1, Powermaster (combined on the shelf) and the G3 Trailer Fansprojects made. In storage I have G1 Reissue, Actionmasters truck, G2, G2 Laser, Machine Wars, the Supermode parts for RiD, Armada, Energon, Cybertron's back, RiD Scourge, Car Robots Black Convoy, Music Label Convoy's iPod dock, an extra WST Trailer, Animated Voyager's ax & gun kibble, and the back part of G1 Rodimus Prime. Two full storage tubs full. It's a good thing I don't have MP-04!

I do have all the Rollers/Bombers out for when I get more display space and the Ultra Magnus' are wearing theirs. And I'm waiting for the Protector Upgrade Fansprojects is doing for Classics Rodimus!

On a side note, I think instead of wasting more plastic on this new Battle Ops Bumblebee Hasbro should have done RotF Optimus Trailer with a Base Mode for the Deluxe and Scout class. With a Roller!

I generally display them combined if possible, behind the figure if he's in regular bot mode, or pulled behind the cab in vehicle mode. Right now my Classics BTS trailer serves as a platform so I can display more figures on my shelf without them being obscured by the guys in front.

Classic G3, Pepsi, Black Convoy's and Scourge's are currently boxed up due to lack of display space.

Powermaster Prime, and Classics Magnus are wearing theirs.

My Encore G1 is framed in box, hanging on the wall.

My loose incomplete G1 is in alt mode on the shelf.

Classic with BTS trailer is in alt mode on a different shelf

The rest of the Primes I have (10) didn't come with trailers. (movie, alternator, animated, etc.)

Well... Any that I have, are still sealed in their boxes amongst my MISB Transformer Collection on the shelves... feel free to look for them. It'll be like "Where's Waldo"

.

The only Prime with a trailer that I have displayed is the Cybertron version, who has his trailer behind him while he's combined with Wingsaber. The rest of the trailers are either in their respective boxes or in storage bins.

well all the primes that can combine with their trailers are wearing them and the only trailer that is lose on the shelf is G1 primes trailer.

Well, here's what mine look like now:




I always display the trailers with the rest of the figures; if nothing else I can stand several figures in/on them in whatever mode they're in.

Black Convoy's is just kinda sittin next to him, Encore Prime's is in combat deck mode with some reissued 84-85 guys on it (along with Prime) God Ginrai is God Ginrai, taking two more trailers out of the equation, RiD and Cybertron Prime are in their respective Super Modes, so that clears those up too. I think that pretty much covers it. This reminds me that I want the Powered Commander and G3 Trailers for my Classics Prime...
