Optimus Prime

"Optimus Prime is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobot forces. Selfless and endlessly courageous, he is the complete opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron. Originally a mere civilian known as Orion Pax or Optronix, he was chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to command, the first in a number of heavy burdens he has been forced to bear. Another is his bringing of the Transformers' conflict to Earth. Every casualty, human or Cybertronian weighs heavily on his spark. He does not show this side to his soldiers and never succumbs to despair. The Autobots need a decisive, charismatic leader and that is what he gives them. It was that leadership which turned the tide of the Great War. "

Here is my take on Optimus Prime, One of the most well known characters of the transformers franchise. He bear the distinction of many repaints for new characters one being Nemesis Prime and as well Ultra Magnus (latter having a different trail that functions differently with him.


After the paint job I wanted to have so functionality to vehicle other than just being a pretty face. Trailer opens up in a manner to G1 Optimus Prime's toy trailer did. i took some liberties on it its shape for functionality.

I have two winches available as well as a tow bar to secure loads onto trailer. Rail Grippers for helping getting containers loaded. can hold one standard cargo container. and anything within that size. Rope anchors for securing loads. Rope anchors on exterior for securing trailer to anther vehicle (ferry?)

Running light active with time of day (800 - 1600)
Trailer lights will match operation of truck cab:
Brake lights
Turn signals
Reverse

Front of trailer has panel has button for:
Parking brake - trailer will sync with truck unless disconnected then this will activate parking brake, turn off once reconnected
gate open - Only opens/closes back gate of trailer for use. If toggled gate will stay open till disengaged
Full open - fully open/closes trailer's sides and gate while deploying support arms (if Gate Open is toggled, the gate will not close when the trailer shell closes.)

Remote control for limited use of winches.
