    A few updates via Seibertron:

    Some In-Hand Images of SS-38 with comparisons of Evasion Mode Prime and MP-10

    A Video Review of SS-38 with similar comparisons, scale, and featuring transformation. As far as I could see it didn't have any voiceover its just showing off both modes and transformation.

    The more I see, the more I like, the more I want.

    The clever thing to do would be to give this toy a trailer hitch that makes it reverse-compatible with a previous Optimus Prime's trailer, like say G1 OP's trailer. Obviously adding a wheeled plastic box would significantly add to the cost of the toy, but giving a simple hitch would improve the play value and allow collectors to simply attach another trailer to it. And it's not unheard of for them to sneak in a feature like this -- Reveal the Shield G2 Laser Optimus Prime is able to connect with the original 1995 G2 Optimus Prime toy's trailer.

    Agreed Gok! I don't need more Prime trailers taking up space in storage and adding unnecessary extra cost to my purchase. I like what they did with the Legendary Prime allowing it to be compatible with the MP-10 trailer, that's all I need for the few times I feel like taking Legendary Prime off the shelf and putting it into truck mode.

    Yeah but for those of us that specifically collect Primes with trailers it’s a letdown. The only time he was seen in his Earth alt-mode he had a trailer so I would have liked one here. If I have to remove the trailer from another Optimus it defeats the purpose of my display for me.

    From what I saw on the video, he does indeed have a hitch! So lets hope its compatible!
