UFO Annular Trailer + Transformers Optimus Prime

In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Optimus carried it's annular trailer into the battlefield which acted as a weapon rack when it was fully deployed.

This was the annular trailer produced by UFO.

It was an original design and definitely not a pirated product. It comes in different version. The which I have here was the silver version.

Optimus with the trailer. The trailer sits right into the peg on the prime mover. This is as close as you can get to movie accurate.

The trailer once fully deployed. That was how the name annular trailer came from. It formed a circular weapon rack.

The LED gimmicks were on the canister. It was a nice addition to this product.

The interior of the trailer/rack was rather detailed too.

Optimus sitting on it's weapon stash to ponder on what to equip. I can use some extra accessories with this rack.
This was another big third party purchase for me. It was not acceptable for Optimus Prime to move around in vehicle mode without it's trailer so I did what was right and bought this annular trailer. Boy was I excited when I received it once it was finally released!

It was huge and it compliments Optimus both in trailer mode or weapon rack mode well. The transformation was really well designed. No disassemble or part swapping needed which was really neat. The only downside regarding this product was the finishing. The blue marking above and below the trailer was a bit off on mine. That aside, the price tag for this product was a bit too steep. All in all, it was a great purchase in my opinion. This will surely made any leader class Optimus Prime whole and complete.
