lerath666:
ok... that's it.. i must have this now. i can no longer hold off.
BraveMax:
Finally - the hinges explained!
Draven:
Do we know how much this will be? And how many they're making?

They're set about $80.
TFSource mentioned that it will be more limited than the armor. Not sure how many of those they made, though.
Slimaximus:
OMFG That is truelly EPIC FP you guys are Toy GODS
Thunderthruster:
the first few seconds i actually thought it was just a photo of a room, that is until my eyes adjusted to the image! that really is quite clever!
Angelwave:
That's friggin brilliant. Hasbro should be ashamed of themselves in the way they are being trumped.
ORIO:
That is so full of WIN i can't explain it.
Superquad7:
Fansproject = teh awesome!
deathsheadx:
out of interest... was that taken at tfcon or are we looking at a stolen prototype here
Hobbes-timus Prime:
It's a great pic, but those mirrors aren't going to give off that illusion so well in all angles and settings...
...personally I'd prefer a cheaper G3 trailer with no stealth mode than an eighty dollar trailer with one.
grayman:
I agree with Hobbes-timus Prime. The mirrors are cool and I applaud their ingenuity, but they are unrealistic and jack up the price. Either way, I am very glad that I preordered my G3 trailer. Excellent work Fansproject.
Robogeek28:
So G1 Prime's trailer didn't disappear into subspace after all, it was all done with mirrors.
Seriously though, this is ingenious, I give this
.
OptionZero:
if they make a black version as well for nemmy prime, i'm all over that
Digilaut:
WHERE IS IT THEN?!! All I see is some shitty carpet.
Fansproject = uber fail.
this is a joke.
courtdevil:
I am sold at the first sight of the gimmick!
Blitz.:
man thats awesome. This has just gone from cool but not interested to something I will look into

It's a sad day indeed when one has to explain a joke, yet if you hadn't then SOMEONE would've jumped down your throat.
Cheem The Rup:
FP beats Hasbro/Takara 50 > 1
Laser_Optimus:
As I said in the other thread... this is awesome and it makes the $80 BBTS is charging me even more worth it.
Solrac333:
So THAT'S where Prime's trailer was! It was there all along. All that technology to hide a trailer. The autobots should have use some of that technology on themselves.
Seriously though, this is badass!
Tekkaman Blade:
That made me decide to get the trailer.
Bgrngod:
And the reason for the price is revealed.
Awesomesauce!
When I clicked on this thread, my first thought was "Stealth mode for a trailer? Whaaaat? That's just stupid."
I've been proven wrong already.
guard convoy:
ugh damn you FP, quit making stuff i can't afford
superb job guys
BigRC83:
I still need to see the final product before I make my decision. But a neat feature thought.
Grimwing:
Subspace Included!
frenzy_rumble:
you guys need to see this thing in action, the way the mirrors flip out, the details, etc. wow. FP is amazing stuff.
Dolza_Khyron:
so, prime's trailer becomes a bunch of mirrors? how is that stealthy at all?
iron maniac:
What a cool gimmick. Great job FP!

anyone know?
Rijie78:
That's an excellent gimmick. Wonder what the material is; can't be glass, and it can't be any old cheapo coating, given how clear the reflection is. Very impressive.
Rodimus Mike:
I want that trailer so much I would give my right apendage for it.MWAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAA
HAAAA. And as for the other FP Designs I want those too.
Crimson Primus: OMG...this trailer is full of fucking WIN
Rodentus prime:
"Tracks - will you stop admiring yourself in my trailer and go and fight for primus' sake"
Shiny!

Baby Bumblebee:
holy poo thats awsopme
OMEGAPRIME1983:
Ok, that's just freaking sweet as hell! I'm so gonna own that thing when it comes out!!! Where do the mirrors go when they aren't deployed though???
marshall dusty:
i saw the pics and i blurted out 'badass'. pretty dope.
anyone ever watch the 60's batman tv show? i wasn't old enough to watch em but i saw the reruns as a shorty. anyway anyone remember when batman would chase the joker in his van and the joker would constantly disappear midchase? it'd trump batman. at the end of episode he catches and he realizes the reason the joker would disappear was because the van would drop mirrors on all sides of the van and it would create the same illusion....
Spider Striker:
Yup. Want it even more now.
Nope. Still can't afford that price.
BlueAngel_Bolt:
You have got to be shitting me T_T
As if the thing turning into a kickass base with kickass bonus weapons and being able to tow the previous kickass trailer wasnt enough.
a freaking stealth mode.
my god, they had me sold at the towing of city commander, now there adding a whole new level to WIN.
Hasbro, you should be downright embarassed. These people know what there doing.
Fansproject, please buy the rights to the franchise someday. T_T
Smeg:
So that's where it goes when he transforms.

Mylar sheeting probably. Thin enough to be cut easily and glued.

Leaked pic not a stolen proto
Bgrngod:
I hope the stickers, or whatever the reflective surface is made of, are pre-applied. That's going to be a nightmare getting those on at home. I'd probably leave them off if they aren't already attached, for fear of screwing it all up with my shaky hands.
Polenicus:
...
Okay, never saw THAT coming.
Y'know, people have always asked 'Well, what happened to Prime's trailer when he transformed?'. Fransproject not only goes and suggest some kind of cloak, but then includes it on their toy.
The fact we couldn't even tell it was THERE, and that it doesn't impact all the other modes one whit show the unbelievable level of thoughtfulness they put into their product.
Hasbro, you need to hire these guys, or give them a license to make TF related products, or somehow endorse them. These people are insane, and in a good way.

The panels flips down from the sides, and from the roof to cover the front and back of the trailer. They use the hinges that were noticed before, but no one knew what they did.
Yes, that means it's all self-contained.
Alex5:
There goes any last shred of resistance I had left in buying this thing, pre-order placed
