Finally, an intensely nostalgic acquisition, yet one I have never previously owned.  I have only one other Track Fleet release, the Scania P-series rally truck, but as a rigid lorry that's pretty untypical of the series as a whole. This is the first articulated lorry from the series that I've got: Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime was also released in cab-only form in the main line last year, but even though I was previously a huge Transformers fan (at least up to 2007, when Transformers was brutally murdered by Michael Bay), I skipped it.  Truth be told, I never had an Optimus Prime toy as a kid.  I wanted one for a while, but once I visited a friend who had one and was pretty unimpressed by it, in particular the irrelevance of his trailer.  I was always suspicious of what was supposed to happen to the trailer when he transformed, in the cartoon it always seemed to disappear out of shot.  I went for Ultra Magnus instead, which was built on a white version of the basic Optimus Prime toy, but given a car transporter trailer that combined with the cab to make a much better robot mode.

Still, Optimus Prime in original (G1, as the TF nerds say) form needs a trailer, so I was holding out for this version. It's a bit of a letdown that the trailer doesn't open and can't carry a standard sized main line car the way the majority of this series can, but not altogether that shocking. I do detect a slightly unsavoury whiff of "why try harder?" around this collab - there was no way this wasn't going to be a hit whatever they did, and the base is metal, meaning they could in theory retool to add that feature somewhere down the line.

In terms of what Optimus Prime actually is, the consensus seems to be that he's based on a Freightliner cabover, but a pastiche of one rather than a specific model.  Some say he's a WFT8664T, others a an FLT of some kind, and there's a lot of people claiming he's an 'FL86', even though the FL series wasn't cabover and while there was an FL80, there was no FL86.  My interpretation is that he's most like an FLT - that's what's in my spreadsheet, at least (the HW wiki says FLT-9664-T, but the wiki is demonstrably edited by people who just add whatever they like, so is not to be trusted).  The FLT was built between 1976 and 1986, which fits with the origin of the toy, in the 1983 Diaclone line by Takara.  I can't quite tell if the trailer is meant to be detachable, but I can't think why I would want to detach it, so that's a moot point.

Bueno gente les presento mi... Optimus Prime de Transformers Authentics, original del 2018 que pues... Tengo desde los 11 años, este Optimus es uno de mis más grandes tesoros en mi colección de Transformers ya que es uno de los mejores Optimus que tengo, sinceramente un modelo de colección muy maravilloso 😌😌😎😎😎😎🚛

If you're running Kenworth or Freightliner trucks, you already know how critical vibration control is. The k264 84 radiator mount bush is engineered with premium polyurethane to deliver superior durability and long-term performance.

Unlike standard rubber mounts, the k264 84 helps reduce excessive vibration, protects your radiator, and extends the lifespan of your cooling system components. Whether you're managing a fleet or maintaining a single rig, investing in the k264 84 ensures smoother operation and fewer breakdowns.

This 4-piece pack is designed for perfect fitment and heavy-duty applications, making the k264 84 a reliable choice for demanding road conditions.

Heavy-duty trucks rely on strong and reliable components to handle long distances and tough road conditions. One small but important component is the K264 84 radiator mount bush, which helps support the radiator assembly and reduce vibration.

In trucks like Kenworth and Freightliner, the radiator is constantly exposed to engine vibration and road shock. The K264 84 radiator mount bush acts as a cushion between the radiator and the mounting frame. This helps stabilize the radiator and protects the cooling system from unnecessary stress.

Many modern radiator bushings are made from polyurethane, which is stronger and more durable than traditional rubber. A polyurethane K264 84 radiator mount bush provides better resistance to wear, heat, and heavy-duty usage. Because of this, it is widely used in commercial truck applications.

Over time, radiator mount bushings can wear out. When this happens, drivers may notice excessive vibration, loose radiator mounting, or unusual movement around the cooling system. Replacing worn bushings with a quality K264 84 radiator mount bush can help restore stability and protect important components.

For truck owners and fleet operators, maintaining small parts like radiator bushings can prevent larger and more expensive repairs later. Keeping the cooling system stable ensures that trucks continue operating efficiently and safely.
