    Even though, like others have said, I wish the truck cab did something… I do like how they gave it Micro Machine styling despite being much bigger. It totally has the Micro Machine wheels and slightly cartoony/chibi proportions.

    I guess that makes it a Macro Machine…?

    Very cute, IDK why they went with Tracks for the pack in, but he\'s an awesome looking car so I think most people will be happy with it.

    Kinda cool. Wish the Micromasters had been their own thing and received a few sets like this.

    Probably because they already had that mold or maybe because they have a limited amount of car licenses and gm owns corvette.

    This is what Core class figures and Micromasters are made for.

    This would make sense to me if the trailer was in scale with an optimus that didn\'t get a trailer like the seige one. Then it also makes sense for the truck to be a throwaway. It looks like it\'s what, MP size?

    I mean I know Prime occasionally carried other Autobots in his trailer, but that’s ridiculous.

    In a serious note, I went to Target yesterday and saw no Micro Machine play sets at all. Did nab a Goku Black Super Saiyan Rosé SH Figuarts though! :D

    A total missed opportunity to re-use the G1-esque transforming cab.

    What a missed opportunity to make it secretly scale with core class or something.

    Transformers MicroMachines it’s my childhood thrown in a blender and it came out intoxicatingly good. The pure ecstatic bliss I derive from them including Tracks, my favorite G1 pre-movie Autobot is the cherry on top.

    I used to play with my Micro Masters and Micro Machine together, not caring the scale was slightly off.

    I have to see how this Prime Trailer looks with the Micro Master Hot Rodimus from Encore Star Convoy before I make any judgements.

    Looked through the thread but didn't find the info: Are any of the vehicles in the two 8-pack sets just repeats of the transformers vehicles in the mystery boxes?

    The 8 packs are just 2-pack alternatives of the 4 base packs. It seems cheaper to just get the 4 packs individually since the 8 packs seem to be $10 more than just buying 2 of them individually. The chase figures are exclusive to those mystery box playsets, like the G1 colored Starscream or Nemesis Prime, by the looks of it.

    This isn't so bad for the price, I just wish you didn't have to dismantle like 80% of the slides and other accessories every time to collapse the trailer. I think only the crossing gate can be kept in place.
