Hey, I just wanted to pass this along to anyone who has wanted to make their own trailer for either Cybertron or TFTM Armorhide!
My repainted trailer: 
I was taking a look through Target's toy isles the other day and saw this in the Hot Wheels area:  
So, anyone who missed the "Truckin' Transports" can now get the "Racing Rigs" trailer for use with their own custom!

I ran a search for them. I found both the Mission Control transporter and another one (with different wheels) called V-Rroom! I'm looking for something more suited to carrying a ground-based vehicle, like Legends Sideways or Legends Recon Barricade (or G1 Windcharger, if he's small enough.)
What I'm currently cooking up is a trailer for Movie Armorhide, who I'm lightly repainting and "rebadging" as Goliath (remember the near-impervious, missile-firing rival to Knight Rider's K.I.T.T. driven by Hasselhoff with an "evil" goatee? That Goliath.) I said barely repainting because his already black and dull silver colors already said "Decepticon". I like the decal y'all use, but may have to modify the design for a black Decepticon version with yellow and chrome/silver stripes.
As I write, I'm learning that a 3rd version of the same truck was done in a grayish color (meaning I won't need slap a new base color on it) and called "Track Surveillance" (I think the white one with the blue truck was "Global Surveillance"...). If I got the gray one, I'd still be stuck with those gawdawful red wheels unless I mine some from another source. "V-Rroom!" (also the name for a few other HW products -- don't ask) was originally the "X-Raycers" transport and came with a clear-bodied car. On the upside, it also came with armored silver wheels. If the cab wheels are the same width as the trailer's, it's only a matter of cracking one open... but can the cab be unscrewed? | |

All these years as a Radicon, and I've still not seen any of your work! Quote:

Radicons aren't limited to just Transformers. . . .

-As for a gallery of my own, I think I'll wait a while... I should really get around to painting the interior of the trailer! -Remember, the one I'd painted previously got slagged when I tried to strip the paint off it! 
Once I get around to it, I'll put together a gallery of it!
