THIS will be the one I'm getting. Not the other one :)

[kup]

Now that's more like it!

Count me in for a group order!

[roller]

cool

[iceburn]

oh no.....more trailers in the making!
yeah, this looks better than the other.
got to see cashflow when it's about to be released.
but do we really need more rollers....prob yes, if it's classic size

It seems to come with the trailer, so I'd guess yes. :p

[Hot Rodimus]

I have to agree that this trailer looks a hell of a lot better than the other one and if I was to purchase a trailer for my classic OP than this would be it.

Will wait and see how much it will sting my wallet before I get too excited though

[jacksplatt11]

Much better than the other one... I wonder why the other one went with such a different look, perhaps they heard about this one and thought they better make their own version...

[blackie]

have we got an expected release date?

[Robzy]

This one looks good!

[Kyle]

have we got an expected release date?

They haven't announced one yet.

[Sam]

Do I smell a group order? :)

[STL]

Why does everyone thing think its better? I honestly think each has its merits. I think this is far too G1 and doesn't go as well with the curves on Henkei Prime while the other one has more edges and texture which makes it a better fit plus opens not only storage but a base mode as well.

[Paulbot]

I'm holding out for Powermaster armour myself... :)

i agree
must buy both i fear...

I guess we're a bunch of Geewunners and like the Geewun feel... :p
In my opinion the other one went a bit overboard and has a little too many curves and edges for my taste. Plus, this one is still a work in progress so we aren't seeing any texture or surface details yet. And you don't reckon this one can also open or have a base mode? ;)

[Gutsman Heavy]

Powermaster trailer pls

[Kyle]

One step at a time. :p

Yeah the other one doesn't pass as a realistic vehicle and that hurts it. It would have been better if that was his Cybertronian mode trailer or something.

[Wheel-J]

From the RK website (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=details&CatType=&II=TFAOP01&lang=us), this is what the other trailer would look like (painted).

Just can't wait for FP to release their coloured version.
:rolleyes:

Because the other one is fussy. :S
Looking at the coloured pic, I'll probably get both - if anything just so I can display it all playset like
but really the other one seems to have started with one idea and then literally midway changed to incorporate g1ish aspects of it.

Personally, I'd be more for it if it stuck with the front half and went that way with the WHOLE thing rather than a half-and-half. It's almost like a half aussie pizza with half ... ice cream... two things that don't necessarily work together, y'see?

Aussie pizza OR ice cream on the other hand - much nicer :) (Or both but one after the other, not the same thing).
Stick with one idea and run with it -


Powermaster trailer pls
+10 :D

Like I said in response to STL's it's got curves, which are cool - but it's half-half that kills it.
That said, having a Geewun like trailer in itself is (personally speaking) awesome :D
I did after all repaint my horribly mis-matched-paint henkei convoy G1 colours and stripes for a reason :D

[Kyle]

Just can't wait for FP to release their coloured version.
:rolleyes:

I'd give FP the necessary time to turn theirs into perfection. I'm biased towards FP after their proven quality with CC, SC, Gas Tank and Cliffjumper kits. :D

[kup]

Granted, that trailer looks a lot better in color but still, the unrealistic 'sci-fi'ish portion of the trailer kind of looks out of place and its distracting.

[kup]

So will we be getting a Powermaster Prime/Ginrai type trailer in the future? :)

[Paulbot]

Granted, that trailer looks a lot better in color but still, the unrealistic 'sci-fi'ish portion of the trailer kind of looks out of place and its distracting.

I think the trailer looks better coloured and it does seem to fit with the look of the cab, while the other trailer is just about recreating the G1 look. I prefer the latter.

[kup]

I still prefer the Fans Projects trailer by miles. The other trailer may look better painted but its design still has no appeal to me.

[Lint]

All this excitement over a box :p

[Zippo]

Don't know about this one at this stage. The other one coloured looks really nice, but doesn't look like it sits close enough to the cab..

I do think that there are now too many groups all trying to be the first to come up with new parts to exsisting toys..

I think with City Commander, they all realised there was a very big market if they got it right. Prime's trailer is one of the few things that makes a lot of sense and there's bound to be competition for it. But beyond that, I can't see too much else being that compelling.

[Kyle]

... yet. :D

[STL]

... yet. :D

Now you've got me interested. :D

I do expect it to open up though I'm hoping hte insides are a departure from the G1 trailer. I'd like to see something that's a bit of a revision on it rather than being virtually identical. That's one of the things I like about the other one, the way its not a symmetical base mode.

Either way though, I'll be getting both. :D

[Kyle]

I agree. If you end up liking both, why not? :p

[sifun]

I like how the trailer on the non FP one matches the futuristic trailer thing. I think it looks nice.
I kinda like both though

[JuzMel]

Oh man, then later go to go find extra Henkei Primes and Nemesis Prime, one for each trailer... :rolleyes:

So in total you need
5 Henkei / Classics Primes:
1 MISB
1 for Opening
1 for FP G1 Trailer
1 for New version Trailer

4 Classics Ultra Magnus
1 MISB
1 for Opening
1 for City Commander Kit
Possible extra one for robot mode

4 Universe/Classics Nemesis Primes
1 MISB
1 for Opening
1 for Shadow Commander Kit
Possible extra one for robot mode

:rolleyes: Almost 10 figures of the same mould just different colours. *I wished I had the mould for this figure. :D

[Vector Sigma 13]

I am in love with the FP trailer- I normally dont go for non licenced add ons but i might have to break the rules for this one.

I also like the Powermaster concept as well- although maybe the City commander set would be better modified or repainted for that?

[orionpax1]

i like them both as they both have their merits, so is anyone doing a group order?

Just wondering ... do you intend to start some kinda TF figure museum? :)

[Wheel-J]

You'll never display your Nemesis Prime in truck mode again after putting on SC. That said I have to go whip my friend again. :o:D

Hehe don't all our collections qualify to start TF Figure Musuem anyway? :p

[Tiby]

Yay! I didn't like that caravan-looking one. Modern trailers do not look like that. They are still essentially boxes as space is money!

This one is on my list. I will now sit here and tap my fingers on the desk waiting patiently... tap...tap tap... tap tap tap...[patience wearing thin]... tap... [remember to breathe and regain control!]... tap...

Thanks again Kyle for including us!
