Some eBay users have shared listings for reissues of Dr. Wu DW-E04 Prime Commander (Micromaster Scale G1 Optimus Prime).
One listing revealed a new “toy deco” DW-E04 Prime Commander (just darker toon colors apparently) which now includes a battle axe and a Roller unit. This is a nice extra bonus, especially considering that the Roller unit was originally sold separately (known as Hoodle) in different colors for all the variants of this impressive 6-cm tall mold. We also have some in-hands images of this reissue thanks to 2005 Boards member Wan. These new parts had been previously included with the DW-E04T Toxitron deco variant.
Talking about variants, other eBay listings reveal reissues of DW-E04B Prime Commander Black (Nemesis Prime) and DW-E04P Prime Commander Purple (Shattered Glass Nemesis Prime) which also come with the aforementioned new parts.
A good chance to grab this mold if you didn’t have the chance or to get the extra new parts in one buy. See the new images after the break and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

As another member and I previously stated, you can purchase Roller separately in a basic blue, grey, white, or gold color, but you CANNOT purchase the axe separately… Roller came in white/gold to match these figures:

The blue and grey Roller was for G1 Prime, although the grey Roller could be used for other versions (e.g. Sleep Mode Prime, Nemesis Prime)…

The custom colored axe ONLY came packaged with later iterations of Optimus Prime along with a custom colored Roller…

The new versions of Prime that come packaged with the Ultra Magnus armor also came with custom colored Axes:

EDIT: I forgot to address the "trailer drone" that you were referring to. Roller is actually the drone. What you're referencing is actually called the Combat Deck/Repair Bay, and Dr. Wu's version of Optimus Prime never came with the "combat" portion of the Combat Deck, but he did keep some remnants of the Repair Bay features. He in fact gave those two little arms so that you could simulate the actions of the original repair bay…

Blue and grey rollers are available separately, sold loose in a small bag.
Orange axe is packed in with either Ultra Magnus versions.
There is no battle turret/trailer drone/repair station for this mold.

No, I just recently got the Optimus secondhand, but it's the version that only comes with the gun, trailer, and two robot arms in the trailer. I was wondering about getting roller, the axe, and the drone thing that sits at the front of the trailer when opened

The only way is to buy the newer version that contains all of those extra accessories… The older versions only came with Prime and his trailer, while the newer versions contain Roller along with the axe. Although you can in fact purchase Roller separately in a basic blue or grey color, they aren't as nice as the custom Roller that comes with the newer versions of Prime.
EDIT: Or are you referring specifically to Toxitron???

Safest bet is aliexpress. I got mine there

How does one go about getting all the extra little stuff for this guy, like Roller and the trailer drone, axe, etc?

Oh well, I guess that's how the Matrix crumbles.

Just got in the run of Ultra Magnus figures – gahh, I'm in love with them! They are super cool.

unless you get extremely lucky, i think you might have a real hard time as they were supposed to be limited to 500 and it appears to have sold out every where.

Any idea where we can order an E-04 toy version from these days and actually receive one? My last attempt got me another toon version, albeit including the matching roller and axe.
TIKnTIN

Peter Cullen: "wait, they made you a human size action figure of you?… wow."

I came here for these comparison shots; I wish it were a little easier to tell which version a given seller has listed on ebay.
I also wonder how long it will take to get an animation deco version of the trailer since I am sure this isn't the last red-and-blue Optimus variant they'll be releasing.

The one thing I wish Dr. Wu could have done is rotating hands/wrist as that's just about the only articulation missing, which is crazy for something this small to outdo mainline figures.

Shattered Glass Optimus Prime / Purple and Nemesis Prime recolors of the Ultra Magnus armor announced by Dr. Wu on Weibo. The Weibo post insinuates that these releases will not be sold with the cabs / Prime Commander and that you must purchase those separately.

ShowZ recently dropped the price for the 2023 rereleases of Nemesis and SG Prime by $6. Now may be a good time to pick up an extra copy for those looking to display both variations:
