Does anyone have the Deluxe Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime figure? If so, can you please tell me if it's compatible with the original (1984) G1 Optimus Prime's trailer? Thank you.

Here are a few pics. I remember you asking for some before in another thread and meant to take some. Completely forgot.

 

As you can see, the trailer doesn't look bad "connected" to Deluxe DOTM Prime...It can roll forward with Prime, however, the trailer may come loose if you try turning.

The "connection" really is just a matter of laying the trailer peg port on the back end of Primes truck mode. There is no peg that can truly connect to the trailer, however if you had an extra (old) G1 trailer lying around, you could probably mod it to have a good connection. I lay the trailer port on the blue back end in front of where the gray pin/swivel would be. It looks OK on display, but if you play with it, it will detach easily.

 

 

I think I might try and search for an old G1 trailer on EBay.....Bare in mind, I don't have a vintage G1 Optimus Prime w/ trailer, I have the Takara Collection #00 Book-style Boxed Prime. I don't remember many (if any) differences n the original vintage G1's trailer and the Takara reissue, but then again it's been years since I held a vintage Prime/Trailer in hand. Hope this helps.

It looks like all you really need to "attach" them is to find some sort of peg to go inside the hole on Prime and inside the hole in the trailer. If it were small enough, it could just free float in there. I am thinking a short peice of dowell that you can get at the home improvement store.
