Legacy Deluxe Optimus was scaled to use the Earthrise Leader trailer.

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.

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.

PotP Optimus is back, because no one demanded it:

It's a neat concept in theory and it did give us the first (and only) mass retail take on Sunbow Orion Pax.

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.

I still have that Optimus on display, fully combined up, thou he not apart of any theming with my figures as what he standing with is a bunch of random figures, like TR Galvatron, Legacy Skullgrin, TFA Shockwave, Legacy G2 Op and TFPGO leaders combiner (forget the name, there also Reactivated OP and Origins Orion Pax (the SS Kup retool/repaint), so he not doing much aside from gathering dust

TR is probably my favourite "recent" line (and it's nearly ten years old, 🤬 me) and PotP just felt like a massive letdown. Some good stuff happened during that line but most of it felt like catching up on CW with some TR integration tossed in. Nothing felt as "complete" like TR, which almost felt like an Armada tribute in how the line worked.
