    Awesome! Any shots of the trailer hitched up to Optimus?

    I like the idea, but it seems too short. The trailer in the movie was a 53', and this looks like it's be less than 40'. I know it's the trailer provided with Ultimate Prime, but I think the new wheels make the scale look off.

    Also, do the landing gear retract at all?

    Agreed, though the details are amazing! Reefer unit looks great. Just looks a little stumpy.

    Cool, interested in seeing the inside. I don't know why people get so hung up on the length; kind of makes you wonder... I think it looks good as is, it's definitely not worth getting another Ultimate Optimus to make it longer. The one thing that does bug me is that the gap between the reefer and the cab should be much smaller.

    I work in transportation, and any smaller-scaled trailers tend to look odd to me and instantly stand out. Nothing else to 'wonder' about.
    The gap between the cab and the reefer is technically okay. Many independent drivers have longer tractors so they can haul all different kinds of trailers, so large gaps are acceptable.

    thanks for the support, some people take their jobs too seriously and start to forget there are just toys. it would have looked off with the extra addition just for an "accurate" size. i was thinking about adding in the cables and wires for the space between the reefer and cab just to fill in the gap and add to it, just use a magnet and attach it to the battery screw.
    thanks to everyone that does like this, and if you dont, just move on.

    I said I like the idea, but just mentioned a few things I saw that could use some improvement.

    So, C/C not welcome.
