Remember the FOC armor for Optimus prime and ultra magnus?

The latest news I read from Chinese TF forums (From Baidu Tieba) are:
Because of the cost, that company cancelled the trailer mode, only armor and weapon for the Optimus prime and ultra magnus.
Means FOC Optimus prime and ultra magnus can still combine with the armor to become a bigger robot, just the armor won't be able to change into a trailer.

And the latest price is 450 RMB in China, roughly 90 CAD. Keep this in mind, for 3rd party stuff, North American's price is usually 30% higher.

To bring back memory, the original price I think is 170...

My opinion, this new armor is still ridiculous expensive. Below are some latest pictures:

Sad about the loss of a trailer mode.

Sadder that this armour costs so much.

Sadder still that the arms are smaller than they could be, considering they don't need to be that small to accommodate a trailer mode.

Trailer was $140 from RK. Now, regardless of the price, an armor that doesn't turn into anything is just pointless.

this right here, if it's just snap on parts that don't do anything what's the point?

Well since I would never (well maybe almost never) this doesn't bother me all to much. $50ish bucks off (170 down to 90 with a 30% mark up) is good times for my displays
