ORIO:
Did a google search for the Magnus kit and found this on the Allspark, its from awhile ago but I don't remember seeing either here on TFW.

Close up on Primes trailer!

That Prime trailer looks awesome and I can't wait for that Magnus kit.
If this has already been posted can a mod please fix? Thanks
Edit: I think those aren't new pics of the magnus kit, but I haven't seen the Prime trailer. I'm way to sleepy to not be sleeping.
Thundershot:
Did they combine roller and auto-launcher?
I definitely haven't seen the trailer before... I thought the next was gonna be the Apex Armor? Though that'd be nice AFTER the regular trailer so he can have two trailers..

Yup. And there might be more to it...
Ruination04:
First time I seen Prime's trailer! How much will it be? I may get 2!
Fort Max:
The Prime trailer looks a bit dull, very G1, there's no question of that but my G1 Prime trailer stays in it's box in the loft...
The Ultra Magnus arour on the other hand looks superb, hope to get one of these in due course.
KING KONVOY:
I getting 2 sets of the Magnus armor but the Prime trailer is boring. I thought it was going to be Apex armor. That's what I want! A great modern version of ginrai would be great.
KING KONVOY:
The Blackout repaint it Hawt!
Maximo Prime:
Yeah, that Blades is superb.
Now can we get an orderly way of getting these things? can't TFsource or somebody pick these things up?
lazerrodphill:
Awesome, HOW MUCH! HOW MUCH! HOW MUCH! iN otherwords what do these things normally go for
hotspot17:
Will buy for sure. Hope the price is reasonable.

Ktulu:
A boy can dream that they might eventually do that too eh
Lupis Convoy:
awesome stuff... I just hope that people can get them.
flamingunicron:

ckhtiger:

The Apex armor idea got scrapped for Prime. So their going with the trailer. One thing to note, the pictures are from late February. So the trailer won't be so plain, probably.

As for an armor for Prime... Repaint of the Ultra Magnus armor?
NIDARAM12:
Hey what is that comic on the site? That looks awesome!

Pretty sure that's the comic that comes with each of the items. There was one included with the CJ upgrade kit as well.
Ghost Prime:
whats the deal with the repainted alternator skids characters?
lastmaximal:
when's the magnus trailer due out?

That's a drag about the apex armor. But the trailer is cool! Are they looking to distribute those as much as the Magnus kits?
And does your contact have any other fun info you can share with us?

Umm... I heard the official announcement is coming soon on Ultra Magnus armor. Maybe sometime this week.

For the prime trailer, as far as I know, their still working out the trailer design.
Lumpy:
if these and the magnus armor arent rediculousy expensive and easy to obtain (ie not like cliffjumpers upgrade) i'm probably down for one of each...
Valkysas:
I NEEED the magnus armor.
come oooooon...

God I hope so. They had the Starscream Coronation set, so I'm really hoping they do the Magnus and Prime trailers. I will pay them a lot for these products from them.
Dropshot:
I haven't seen anything about Prime's trailer. It lacks a lot of detail, it's just a plastic box, although I'm pretty sure it will end up looking badass.
lookinglasself:
These are a maybe for me, depends on the price.
permie:
Can we protect our white toys by using sunscreen on them?

No, but you can protect your white Primes by putting Magnus armour on them!
Thundershot:
Too bad about the Apex Armor. That'd have been really cool to go with the regular trailer. What would have been really neat is to make a Powermaster Armor first, then an Apex armor as a second accessory.
Ah well... I'm just looking forward to these.
Chris
The Crazy Collector:
I woulda totally bought the Apex Armor, but I'm down for just the Prime trailer too. I'm sure it'll be more detailed that the pics show. Afterall, they're just design specs.
Lumpy:
i;m surprised this hasnt been front paged yet...but its good to know that this will be coming, and hopefully to online retailers...hurray for a true ultra magnus...

It was front paged long ago, there just hasn't been any new news on it yet.
G1Wheeljack:
I've definitly gotta get that Magnus armor, and the Pime trailer seems pretty cool also, I want to see more of roller though. I just hope these won't cost me an arm & a leg.

magnus armor was, but not primes trailer...
butz:
Wait. I'm little slow on the uptake. A trailer for Classics Optimus Prime? I gotta get at least one of those!

Hmmmm, I remember seeing the Prime trailer before also. *shrugs*
Omegatron1:
Maybe they'll do a black repainted version for Botcon Prime, too.

If these are anything like the Cliffjumper upgrade kit, they'll be produced in small numbers and end up selling on eBay for a few hundred bucks a pop.
Greyryder:
I'm just not impressed. Both trailers seem kind of stubby, and Magnus's doesn't really look like anything.
Ray Kremer:
You know, I'm not at all militant on the whole "Magnus can't be just a repaint he must have armor" thing, mostly because I tolerate and/or eagerly buy the repaints that everyone else gets just fine. But several versions of Optimus himself has had a combine-with-trailer mode, so I'm also all for that sort of thing. And what they have there looks pretty keen.
Though I can't get very excited about a rectangle box with a nontransforming car inside as a Prime trailer. Yeah, it's G1 and all, which is why I did buy one of the nontransforming unofficial Masterpiece Prime trailers, but for our modern times I expect it to, you know, do more. That's what classics is supposed to be, G1 characters done with modern toy sensibilities/awesomeness. Plus Roller doesn't make much sense with the little Diaclone men taken out of the equation.

I saw the post for the pics of the Magnus armor in vehicle mode, and I remember readin they were gonna do apex armor, but I never saw anything on tfw for the Prime trailer! That's why I posted
Sorry again if this has been posted though
jourdo:
When are these available... and who do I hand my money over to?
Thundershot:
They should make a "Powermaster Prime" looking head to go with the Ultra Magnus mold, and then do a repaint of it for a "power armor" Prime, just with a diffferent head. Or hell, repaint it and screw the head altogether.
PrimeConvoy:
I love the UM armour. I just hope I have better luck in getting this then I did at trying to get MY CJ Kit. which felt through casue when I email the guy that I was sending payment he never replied back to me and I had email him 3 times about payment and no reply.
Megatronwp38:
magnus trailer looks great!
Devastattor:
Enough with the photos already, bring'em on!!! The UM armor rocks. It's a MUST HAVE.
Runamuck:
Yay, another of of these upgrade things that I can't afford.
shibamura_prime:
Whoa, Seriously? BadASS!!!
