Did G1 roller have his own gun or could you just stick Prime's gun on him?

I'd prefer a base IMO. Let Ultra Magnus have his day. Between the TFA figure and the CC armor/trailer Mags is finally gettin' the love he deserves.

If this is just a trailer and FP makes a Powermaster upgrade, I don't think there will be much competition...FP won't have to worry about anyone stealing their thunder

They showed a teaser almost a year ago. Nothing new has been shown, but apparently their still working on it. No plans for a PM Prime armor, as the Powered Convoy repaint CC would be their armor for classics prime.

The gun can be attached to Rollar, or given to Classics Bumblebee.

I think as long as these companies stick to products like this, which require you to purchase Hasbro's product first, they should be safe. But I'm certain these companies will start making their own full TF figures, and when that happens, Hasbro will definitely step in since the toys will be based off their IP, and start competing with them. If they know whats best, then they should stick to these upgrade sets.

DMSL wrote:I don't like the shape of the trailer in those images, it should be more like G1, i.e. more blocky less angular. I also think the trailer hooked onto Prime doesn't quite look right, it's too far to the back wheels of the truck. Should be closer to the cab.
Terrible idea IMO. The classics line is meant to be a contemporary re-imagination of G1. Does classics Optimus look exactly like G1 in alt mode? No, so why should his trailer?
Plus the trailer should match the toy it's being paired with. That synergy is all that should matter.

I like them to have trailers too, but I think I like the look of the TFClub/Fansproject one that Venksta posted above... if that is still in the works. It seems to have a more classic Optimus Prime look.

Trailers are cool but I prefer NOT to have them because if they don't turn into armour that attaches to the figure, I just don't have any room for them...
