    ^Dude, pleae read the posts, as this Trailer version is only and will only be (at this moment of time) a Takara Japan exclusive.

    ^The Leader Class version would be the Takaratomy Jetwing Oprimus Prime, a slight remold of the rotf version. It will come with huge wings and dual gatling guns, also not blinged up like the buster prime version. Where have you guys been when this news was released? lol ;)

    This is why I have never had any interest in any incarnation of Prime's trailer.
    It's just a big grey box. An expensive big grey box that takes up way too much shelf space... but of course I would never devote any shelf space to something as visually bland as a big grey box anyway.

    Great video though.

    This. Also, can the tfw staff please stop calling these "REVIEWS"? They really aren't, and it get's people's hopes up for a real review.

    Very cool, if it wasn't so outrageously expensive I'd go for it in a heartbeat.

    That actually is kinda cool but man I am so happy I will be saving so much money with this movies toy line (cause I'm not buying the majority of them). Is it me or do these toys seem a bit smaller than the previous movie toys??

    Lol, how much moredo you need exactly? DOTM Voyager Prime with a new paintjob and new M/T gun pulls a big grey box covered in M/T ports that can fit deluxes inside.

    Again, how much more of a review do you need? Do you really need a voice over to tell you that the trailer splits open and has lots of M/T ports? Do need to have V Primes new paint job explained to you?

    This was a great review refreshingly and entertainingly executed.

    they made the mold so much better by removing the massive gas canisters and replacing them with accurate ones (not to mantion removing those stupid solar panels and painting him accurately)

    I like that it fits two deluxe figures inside, and all the mechtech ports, but not for $90. The whole trailer is way taller than Prime in Alt mode. If he actually drove that thing, he'd get 2 miles to the gallon from the wind shear, and couldn't go under any overpasses.

    I would get this for $40, too bad it'll never be that cheap. Love the changes to Optimus.

    WOW thank god for these video reviews because if thats 90$ then it 90$ saved for me. I dunno why but these new toys just look horrible. The megatron i picked up in the store last night looked like a KO, was going to buy it but didnt want to wind up with a bad figure and not have been able to resell it for the 20$ it cost me. I think while this line is out i will be focusing on my Godzilla collection........

    So getting this will be more expensive than getting Ultimate Prime?

    EASY PASS.

    Doesn't tell anything about the new transformation steps, how the trailer halves tend to sag under the weight (especially when loaded), how exactly the MechTech hole covers work, etc. S no sir, that's not a review, just pretty pictures dumped on YT.

    Don't really feel like spending extra on any Japan toys. I think the long trailer makes Optimus look out of scale with Megatron. Before I buy any Optimus trailers, I will make sure Megatron has one also, for symmetry.
