    My guess, either:

    - A mobile NEST center
    - Autobot/NEST Troop transport
    - Transportation for the movie's maguffin

    I'm shocked. Never expected that . I bet you its power master prime , it turns into a battle armour like the Jet fire armour.

    I'm surprised people don't think combining will happen, bay is all about expanding on previous themes, the old bigger and better mantra.

    Storywise, some bot scientists come to earth and working together with nest engineers they reverse engineer what happened with prime/jetfire and put it in the form of a trailer so prime can transport it easily and relatively inconspicuously.

    Also, where there's one trailer truck there's probably another...

    I want it to happen, but kind of expect that it won't.

    Simply because I don't really expect to actually get what I want. That would be too awesome to actually happen.

    i agree with you trailer does look long even where the back wheels are loacted it looks if they added few extra feet in the back from other trrailers i never saw back wheels pushed up so far like that looks like it fall backwards if it wasnt attached to prime itself.

    1 bay said he did not want prime to trailer at all wander wahat changed his mind,

    2 should be intersting how this incropates into the film will there be supermode like rid, & other primes like that or will just convert into battstation with wheelie no not roller somehow if there is roller haha roller will be controlled by humans bad idea it just popped into my head

    3 alos bay said himself if he did include trailer in the film where would it go in the film will it dissapear like g1 cartoon version , & barricade in the first film or will they show it somw how when they are in battle fascinating indeed

    it's been mentioned the wheels are so far forward because of the space there is in Chicago for the truck and trailer to turn in

    The trailer is probably another Transformer corpse. There's precedent as Prime's already worn Jetfire's dismembered body and he like's collecting the faces of his dead enemies!

    I'm sorry, but a power armor from a solid block trailer would be lame as hell.

    I would not be opposed to a weapons platform, though. We all know how much Bay LOVES the guns.

    A nice little touch that throws in a cool little nod back to the G1 days. I wonder who we have to thank for this? If it's something the writer twisted some arms to get put in then my faith in our new writer went up a few notches.

    Like everyone else I kind of wonder what might be in it. Just doesn't seem like a Micheal Bay film not to have some planned with it. A mobile NEST base might be nice but given Micheal Bay's skill at movie gun play and ILM's skill with CGI weapons a weapons platform might really kick some ass.

    Hmm... I'ma throw this out there. Maybe the Nascars are the Junkions? Cuz I dont think they're Autobots, Maybe NEST vehicles, but why would they use old NASCARS? So could see Cons riding around with their weapons deployed, or the Junkions having bolted on pieces etc

    The first 2 were actually no plots, other than some over reacting douchebag trying to bag some skanky high school broad. Otherwise, the Transformers might as well been mushrooms that turned into shit.

    Regardless, I'm floored they actually included his trailer, and they would actually give G1 that much of a nod.

    Who cares if it does disappear when he transforms? It's never been explained before, and really, does it need to be explained now?

    The movie verse is such a shit show of unexplained stupidity, the trailer disappearing doesn't really matter at this point. Battle platform would be awesome though.

    Looks like Prime is transporting something that the Cons want BAD.....

    Interesting either way.

    I am seriously getting excited over this movie. Gotta be a Hater to not appreciate Optimus having a trailer, especially a G1 style trailer. For the toyline I really hope they release this in leader class separately from OP and that it is compatible with my ROTF leader Optimus. Probably won't happen though. Oh Hasbro, I wish I had bought stock in you.

    After looking at the black semi-tractor, and seeing Hogs Breath on the door, I can't help but think we are seeing motormaster.
