    I LOVE it! What a love letter to G1 fans. I thought Transformers collectibles peaked with the HasLab Unicron but then Robosen gives us these actual transforming wonders. I am amazed I am living in a time where this tech is possible. I already have Optimus and this trailer is already pre-ordered. Nice!

    The $450 MP-44 had a retractable ramp. The $150 MP-10 had a retractable ramp. The $50 Earthrise had a retractable ramp. The, what, $10? Bot Shots Optimus Launcher trailer had a retractable ramp. This is inexcusable.

    The little bit of the landscaping that you showed looks really nice. You must be pretty wealthy. I’ve always loved UK and Irish landscaping/architecture. If I didn’t live in the US, I’d only want to live in rural UK (no matter if it’s England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) or rural Ireland. It truly is beautiful over there. I’ve taken a lot of 4K tours of rural places in the UK and Ireland and they’re so much more beautiful than the US. I wish I could find somewhere here that looks a lot like over there. If I had the money, I’d go over there lol. God bless.

    @kingnewcomer2029 2 года назад +6

    I have to say, much like the auto-converting Optimus Prime figure, this auto-converting trailer with Roller is beyond amazing! :D It's so cool that now we can have the complete package of the original 1980's Optimus Prime figure with auto-converting! It's also neat that it plays the end portion of The Transformers classic theme song, and Roller plays an 8-bit arranged version of the G1 theme! As you've said before, PVP, I do wish that the trailer's ramp was part of the actual transformation to both Modes as opposed to being a separate piece. I also wish that the Anti-Grab Drone's radar dish, and claw were part of the conversion as well instead of being manually operated. And it would've been nice if the trailer's strut stands were part of the conversion too, but, I kinda understand why they didn't do it. Other than that though, this is simply a flawless, amazing kit to go with the Optimus figure! I absolutely LOVE this thing!

    I love the details inside the trailer. Like, besides the Combat Deck there are two other consoles for Spike to sit at; these, along with the Spike figure himself, are vestiges of the Transformers' origins as Diaclone toys, which came with human pilot figures and were supposed to represent military weaponry, not sentient robots from Cybertron.

  • @BeazleyStudios

    This is a really awesome collectible (toy), however the title is not entirely accurate. This is not the first auto-converting trailer for an Optimus Prime. When the Transformers: Armada toy line came out in 2002/2003, the deluxe electronic Optimus Prime came with a trailer that would auto transform once you converted Optimus from Truck to Robot. The trailer would convert from vehicle mode to base mode, then it could transform from base mode into power linx mode, standing upright so you could put Optimus on top. It's not as sophisticated as this new version, but it was the first.

    I have no regrets buying Prime but this one...I thought it was able to connect to Prime automatically, deploy the stand by its own and the ramp and expecting that, the price of $700 seemed steep. Without those functions, this is not a $700 accessory. I'd pay $150 to $200 at most. IF it had included those functions, I probably would have gone as high as $300.
    Thanks for the review though, it answered a lot of questions.
    Was this the bigger than Unicron item you hinted at before? Because I'm still expecting a 4 foot high Metroplex sometime.

  • @egon90123
    @egon90123 2 года назад

    For all of you wanting the ramp to have come out by itself, they could've done that at the expense of not having the automatic transformation to battle station mode. I'm just guessing here, but keeping about three to five pounds of plastic in a vertical orientation requires a hefty servo at the base, not to mention even getting half of that weight vertical and then the stresses of having the other half flip itself into the same position w/o the servo giving out on, say, the tenth time going thru the transformation is the only reason why the ramp isn't automatic. There just wasn't enough room under the trailer for it to be stored there, or let it extend or retract. I honestly would've loved to have seen how the trailer is lifted during the transformation to see if they could've done something different, but I doubt it.

    Are you excited for the new upcoming Nickelodeon Transformers: Earthspark Series? Because I am! And we already got the cast. And you're going to love this, Optimus is going to be played by Alan Tudyk, yes that's right, Dutch from Dark of the Moon himself! And Megatron by Rory McCann, who fans will recognize from his never ending role in Game of Thrones. But I mostly know him from playing Tennyson Torch in xXx from 2017.

      Honestly I’m not sure if I’ll watch it / depends if it’s broadcasted properly here in the UK! The animation looks good tho!

    I've got this on pre-order and I'm a little disappointed. A retracting ramp is simple to do (though it would've made the trailer much taller), and it would make it possible for Roller to auto deploy. That said, I'm still looking forward to it.

      Agreed, I've just got mine and a retractable ramp would've made it perfect

    The ramp being a separate thing is a big fail.

    I really wish the original cartoon actually featured the trailer in a way that mattered, instead of just disappearing off screen.
