The Workers' Party Optimus Prime truck is no more.

Mothership.sg understands from a source that the police has told the driver to remove the container with an illuminated mounted billboard featuring the Workers' Party logo and slogan.

This occurred on Sept. 7, on the night where the Workers' Party held its election rally at Ubi.

It was previously reported that the 14-wheeler was done up by a Workers’ Party supporter out of his own volition.

The truck first made its debut appearance on the road on Sept. 4, 2015, the third night of GE2015 campaigning. Its subsequent arrival at rally sites was greeted with much fanfare:
