Transformers: Optimus Prime


Leader, Commander, Saviour, Hero and Visionary.

No other words can best describe this heroic Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, from the world of Cybertron.

Quiz time: Which of these vehicles has this supreme commander been transformed into most often?

a) Convoy Rig Truck

b) Meteorite from Cybertron

c) Futuristic Spacecraft

Well, unless you've been hiding under the rocks all your childhood or teenage life, the answer's pretty obvious, ain't it? It's the Convoy Rig Truck!

But do you also recall that whenever Optimus Prime had to transform into this heavy duty vehicle, a trailer would somewhat appear out of nowhere, especially in the animated series? Really, how do you explain that?

Apparently, some sources have said that it somewhat materializes out of thin air when summoned by Prime. Others have claimed that it is simply made up of various other components from his "body part" in robotic mode. And you guessed it, it all comes apart and merges into this huge trailer.

Or is it not?

Well, there are other theories surrounding this explanation of the "mysterious" trailer. And it would probably take you quite awhile to find out the official answer. But hey, as they say"Transfomers...more than meets the eye" !


What's your view?
