I want to know what that is as well.
I like how the item description says "Comes without heavy and useless box"

It's a KO of Robot Masters Optimus Prime, just this one comes with a trailer.

3rd Party more likely, if it came in a set. Primes/Convoys with trailer are a dying breed.

You say that as if if were a bad thing.

I agree. I think if they release a Prime, they need a trailer with it. It's like making a Soundwave without cool gimmicky accessories.

I have enough Primes and enough trailers stored away to know that answer is wrong.
Not every Optimus or Convoy needs a trailer. They're rarely worth the second glance to begin with. Play value is one thing but when the trailer has none, it's wasted material. Said wasted material gets paid for by the consumer. I'd rather have weapons or better engineering over a box that's gonna sit in a box in my closet(a bigger box!).

I want to see more trucks with trailers. Looks more realistic to me than seeing just a cab all the time. Thats why I like to get a trailer whenever I can. I like to store my weapons and other accessories in there. do you have any extra trailers Flux Convoy? =P Im missing some trailers for certain proportions

Sorry man, I'm a Transformers black hole. Things come into my possession and very rarely, if ever, escape my grasp. I can wish you luck on your search though.

Well, a truck without something on its bed just looks naked to me, be it a giant gun or a trailer. It's embarrassing

Since it's never going to happen Ill just say it here; I wanted to make my own series for TF called Convoy (had this idea before Prime was announced, kind of a funny irony). This would be based on the same lines that they are low on energon, traveling the galaxies looking. But the thing is (and it's based on the kind of toys I wanted, I dont care as much about story as the toys themselves) all (most) of the characters will be different types of semi-trucks hauling different things. Every day on the road there are so many different looking ones, it'd be cool to have a bunch of trucks because they'd all be large toys. Could do something where what they haul can combine to form their mining machine, or super weapon, or super-robot, or some hold weapons, some trailers would be part of the robot making them even bigger.
