The ’87 Freightliner is the truck model of Autobots leader Optimus Prime in the latest installment of the Transformers franchise, 2018’s Bumblebee. The vehicle is now officially up for sale at Facebook Marketplace. At a price of $21,600, as reported by Seibertron.com.
An official listing for the vehicle reads, “I have zero clues on the total miles. It’s got 85k on an overhaul without paperwork. New front rear end. New air compressor as of February 23 last year. This truck was featured in the ending scene of the motion picture Bumblebee, so it is the legitimate Optimus Prime. Ok, now here’s what it needs: new driver’s side door, some fenders, the lower section of the grill.”

The owner added that the vehicle has not been driven in over a year.
The truck is still available for sale for now. Interested parties should contact their current owner via a Facebook private message.
News of the truck hitting the market came after Netflix confirmed it will release a brand-new animated series inspired by the Transformers BotBots line of toys.
For now, a sequel to Bumblebee has not yet confirmed but in 2019, the film’s producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that a potential next film would feature Bumblebee and Optimus Prime as co-protagonists.
