You cannot compare Optimus Prime trailer with Rodimus Prime's trailer. Optimus's is barely a margarine container with nest to no parts. Rodimus's is huge, with hinges, big cannon, storage spaces, pistons, and whatnots.
Agreed. RP does come with a LOT of bells and whistles on the trailer. I understand why a lot of people enjoy it. For me though, is wasn't necessary. They could have done a simpler trailer at the Leader price point, and I would have been just as satisfied.
I forget... Kanrabat...are you the one with the scale? I'd like to compare the weight of all 3 CC so far. Everyone refers to the Rodimus portion as "beefy", "solid" etc... While it certainly does hold together well, and the engineering is impressive, I don't think it has any more heft than most other comparable Transformers.
I guess it really boils down to what a person is after, as someone who's only looking for display purposes and not immersive interaction or shall we say "play feature" in the trailer, that aspect really doesn't go far with me. So I guess maybe I should have just waited for a Voyager version that's just him or Leader release with a more basic trailer.
Don't get me wrong it's certainly a cool figure and great that they went that far for those who enjoy that type of thing.
