    I mean, if Legends/3P versions of said scale had blew up sooner, I may have went straight Legends/Core for my entire collection tbh. I mean, who would have thought we'd not only have Magnus, Suxshot and Overlord but combiners at that scale as well. And well built to boot. Lol

    The treads instead of regular wheels really ruins the look.

    I’m going to paint the “wheels” within the tracks black - hopefully it will make it look a little better.

    Was wondering that too. Its halfway between a Prime Trailer and a Diaclone DA-65 trailer.

    Shockwave's Lab loves its LEDs, even though most of the fandom doesn't. It's so weird.

    I saw this and immediately thought I was going to get it.
    Then I put my glasses on and noticed the treads instead of wheels and now I'm on my way to forgetting it exists.

    I honestly don't get it. The moment they include an LED it means they jack up the price and cost them half of their market.

    And the fact it costs 3X the price of the standalone toy makes it a bitter pill

    I miss the days of stuff like Cyberverse where Primes had trailer playsets

    Can it fit a Core in the trailer? Like Bumblebee or Hot Rod

    Maybe specify Prime Cyberverse or Movie Cyberverse, because we have those and shows, just before someone gets confused and says "They didn't have those."
    And I agree, playsets double nicely as props too if you're making stop-motions.

    You know I might just get this, it\'ll give my core class Prime something to do instead of just sitting on Primus shoulder like a wart on a toad.

    I mean, okay lol. Good for those who want this I guess. But like, this upgrade is clearly putting 5x more budget and effort into the trailer and accessories than the actual toy even did. So I\'m not sure what the point is.

    Are the treads on the trailer an homage to a different toy? ...I mean, to buy this to help round out my G1 Core Class Prime is kinda pointless; in my opinion at least.

    The treads might be an homage to the Armada version of Optimus Prime, since the wheels on his trailer were treads.

    Wouldve been happier with a simple downsized G1 trailer since its for G1 Prime. Maybe Roller and the command station wouldve pushed the price to $40-50.
    Always wanted a version like Hybrid Convoys trailer. They nailed it that time but the figure wasnt avail for long.
