    this is looking really cool! The trailer does a lot to seperate it from inferno. If I may offer one suggestion to further differentiate it - I think the grill is still screaming firetruck instead of semi. if you could get rid of the chrome on the sides of the grill and paint it red, then glue the headlights back on, it would have more of a semi truck look to it and match the bot abdomen better too.

    Yes, except for leaving the bit in the center chrome too so it goes rt into the bumper. seeing the digibash, that really does make quite a difference, looks even primeier!

    The trailer is a great touch, really helps pull the vehicle mode together as Optimus Prime!

    Might I suggest you change the trailer wheels to match those from Inferno?

    The trailer is a great addition, but I agree with MROptimusPrime; matching wheels would look a lot better.

    By the way, have you considered having the trailer combine with Prime since you're already using the Powermaster Prime trailer and the fact it would be a great homage(since your Prime has a near identical transformation to PM Prime).

    Otherwise fantastic custom.:thumbs2:

    I did actually think of this; not sure how I'd do it now though.
    Needs more thought. :drunk 

    @MROptimusPrime too: Who am I to argue with Optimus Prime?
    I don't have an Inferno though, so hopefully a spare Grappel's
    wheels will do. Still have to figure out how to do it.

    Maybe something like this ?
    without the extra lights on the side?
    looks more optimus-ish (IMO obviously :eek: )
