I hoped that the Primemasters had gone with the original idea of being Powermasters and/or Headmasters too. It would have been nice to also have the mini robots in the colours of the inner robots too.

Maybe they’ll do an exclusive with some trailer and with the sticker detail painted up. Dunno which trailer would work best given that the Deluxe is even smaller than the G1 toy. The somewhat small Earthrise trailer might actually match it best but the G1 trailer might actually work out decently given that the G1 toy’s cab is actually too big in comparison to his trailer in terms of real life vehicle proportions.

Square-cube law.
I'm planning to try the DOTM Deluxe trailer. It's boring, but it should fit.
Still a sad trailer but at least the length looks right now.
I'm just considering the DOTM Deluxe trailer because I already have one, and because this Prime's hitch must be pretty similar to the Chronicle version if it's compatible with the G1 trailer and modern trailers. It's the only trailer I know of that was designed to pull double duty that way.

Earthrise trailer’s kind of lame but the worst is that the white part of the stripe is unpainted.
I bought a KO G1 OP just to use the trailer with Earthrise Optimus but I hope it fits SS86 as the included trailer with that isn't as good as the G1 original, IMO.
I use the trailer from Volvo Prime with ER Prime. Volvo Prime is trailerless because he's a rebel.
A rebel without a cause?
He had a cause originally. But they had to remove it because it turned out the retail budget just couldn't support it or the trailer. We'll see if Takara manages to reissue it.
Meanwhile the only G1 Optimus Prime trailer I have is a reissue of the original one lol.
It’s like five times better than the Earthrise one TBH.
PotP Optimus is back, because no one demanded it:

Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime - Hasbro Pulse
Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime Action Figure

It's a neat concept in theory and it did give us the first (and only) mass retail take on Sunbow Orion Pax.PotP Optimus is back, because no one demanded it:
Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime - Hasbro Pulse
Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime Action Figure
But... it's hard to fit into a traditional collection because there are much better versions of G1 Optimus out there.
So this thing's big appeal to collectors is as a novelty.
My guess is they think it'll move because it's Optimus Prime and non-collectors (kids, nostalgic adults not deep into the franchise) like Optimus Prime.
Yeah, I tend to think of the whole of PotP as a novelty, if I'm being honest. Some ideas were okay, some weren't. But it was relatively short-lived as a line, so I guess there might be some out there who wanted this version of Prime and didn't get it? Feels a bit like, "whoa, hey - we found a few pallets of these old Optimus Primes at the back of the warehouse." Which is okay I guess, but he's being billed by Hasbro as a "back by popular demand" situation.
I just said almost that exact thing over on Discord.
