- BeCool "Trailer" is practically identical to the Bot Shots "Battle for the Matrix" Optimus Prime toy with the blue eyes and red arms, the only difference being that the game stats stickers in his chest spinner have been replaced with pictures of his vehicle mode, two people holding hands and the letters "Zzz..."

He also comes with a sticker sheet for decorating the Trailer Base.
