Does this make it a TRaction Master?

I see it is down the road from where I used to live. Also, that truck is for sale for $215000 (+ costs) direct from the retruck website which is getting far more reasonable.
I find it a bit off that these people only got Optimus autographed in November and they've already put him on the market. So much for genuine die-hard fans! They were only in it for the $$ - how rude!
I wonder how Peter would feel if he knew they'd got his autograph only to pawn poor Optimus off for a ridiculous sum!
To be honest, you could buy a 379, get the custom paint job and pay for Peter Cullen to come out to Oz first class staying in 5/6 star accommodation with all the trimmings for far less than what they are asking.
And given it's an Oz truck it would be useless to the US market so their clientele is limited. Add to that the fact that most Aussies want to buy a truck for haulage, Optimus is too richly priced to justify him as a working vehicle.
As much as I love the 379, I'd rather have the G1 original to hoon around the b-double roads in the back country on.
