Anyone else feel that with each release of a new Prime that has a truck for altmode, there's a need for a trailer? I mean even on the road a truck without a trailer doesn't feel right. Although, I love kitbashing etc, sometimes I wonder why oh why didn't it come with one? Its more cost effective etc but here's why I started this thread: How many of you agree a Prime's truck alt mode should always have a trailer?
G1 always needs a trailer but movie and prime don't need one since we usually see them without them. That's my thought.
I would maybe one day like to see a revamped Powermaster Prime with modern engineering. That turns into a truck with trailer without any partsforming. But make it a supreme class or something so the size of the truck isn't compromised... Entirely unlikely, but I can dream. And yes, I agree. Prime in alt mode with a trailer is always better looking. But I don't really keep any of my figures in alt mode, so it doesn't matter to me either way.
I see very little need for a big, dumb box just for Optimus to pull, no matter how many gimmicks they cram into it.
Yeah. Storage and display space. Sigh. I wish I have a man-cave. I display Primes (truck) in alt mode. Especially If the truck itself looks awesome. I'd buy two Primes just to display em' in both modes.
What if we got a trailer that actually transforms into a robot? A giant kibbly awkward robot. Or, just make a dragster with detachable front wheels and giant plates or better yet a mini-con/cyberverse play set.
He doesn't need one, but I wouldn't say no to one. Especially if it actually transformed into something.
Maybe like Maketoys? Which reminds me I need that trailer. Screw the fugly bot mode. I can't explain it but there's something so iconic about Prime in alt mode with an awesome trailer.
Armour is not a bad idea since most fans display in bot mode. Call it a compromise from each side. The votes are almost always half-half. Amazing.
Not until his trailer has a gimmick besides holding stuff. I only want trailers if it turns into a jetpack or weapons base or something... AND if it's not simple to do like the Takara Voyager DOTM Prime w/ trailer that just opened from both sides, the end.
I voted "no" because I don't think it's mandatory, but I do like trailers. But they have to do something. Just a straight empty box is boring and a waste of space.
How about the trailer transform into a nice looking display panel like iGears teletran 1 background or something. This way it can be displayed that way as well as with the trailer.
I believe his main toy doesnt need it, but a later release could. kinda like how DOTM did it-Prime early, Prime w/ trailer later.
They should really only release ONE with a trailer since there are most likely more than one mold for the same Prime design, but only if he has a trailer in the show/movie/comic/book
no. he does not always need a trailer. did he keep a trailer on cybertron? probably not. and, blasphemous as it may sound....I don't think Motormaster needs a trailer either so long as he's got the imposing stature.....sure, the cab + trailer makes the entirety of Motormaster...but I would rather he have a larger alt than a trailer.
