It looks striking similar to G1/diaclone convoy parts mixed together.  :tfgrin

 

I know these are all inspired by the real world - just thought it looked interesting for the color combination.  I doubt it had any influence at all on G1.

I'm going to refer ot it as 'Junkyard Convoy' from now on. ..Or 'Redneck Convoy'.  :tflaugh

not realy magnus and prime are both based on real stuff (bar magnus's trailer) and the colours of red, white and blue are not all that original so i dont think so

Holy moley!!  They make those things for real?!?! 

 

J/K teasing mate  :tfgrin

 

I think you're taking my post a little too literally.  I thought it was just fun to find a toy that looked so similar in color and combination in such haggred shape.  It needs to be made fun of.  Sure, it's easy to find tractor trailer toys, but you don't often get a Prime colored cab with a Magnus colored/styled trailer - especially given the randomness of Magnus's trailer. :thumb

well corgi is hella old, but I think the inspirations were more of the real life cars than another toy line.

Yeah, G1 Prime/Magnus' cabs were inspired by Mack truck COEs.
