magnus is an easy pass & shockwave will probably be too, robot mode is good but the alt mode & armor are horrible.

How two different Prime Ultra Magnus designs got approved within just a year of each other is beyond me, especially since he went from a totally unique design to being just a retool of Optimus. You'd think that since the toyline didn't start until long after the show got going there wouldn't be this repetition, that which ever design was approved first would've been the "canon" design, or at least it'd have been a simple retool first then the totally unique design. The only other bots in remotely similar situations that I can recall have been those with generic names (i.e. Dead End, Air Raid).

It'd be insane if we didn't get at least a Deluxe Breakdown in BH after that.

Its because Magnus is portrayed as the TF Prime repaint in the comics now.

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.

Hmm. Yes he does. I wonder if more molds might get used...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I do really like the look of the PRID version, and I do prefer owning unique molds where possible, but I never bought PRID Prime as I have the FE one, so despite being similar, this version of Magnus will still be a unique mold for my collection.

Add to that the fact that his hammer is much improved, he has TWO shoulder missiles instead of one wrist one, and his chest plate is very G1-esque, and I am sold on the BH version.

Also... with the sole exception of various Megatrons (DOTM, PRID) I have hated every single mechtech/powerizer weapon as I find them ugly and distracting... and PRID Magnus' Hammer/Gun is no exception.

Now, what will really make this BH Magnus figure for me is if the wing assembly is removable, so I can put that aside and do a mod to shorten the "PRID Prime Cape".

I was half hoping I'd get away with sneaking Shockwave into my Classics line-up, but I don't see that happening. I'm still really looking forward to getting hold of him.

No matter how hard I try I can't help but see Magnus as a step backwards given what we got in the RiD line. It just ain't right. :roll:

I still can't help but feel this is what they should have done to begin with. I still say PRiD Magnus is awkward at best. Those shoulder struts look awful! I even like the gunhammer, but his gigantic arms being attached to his body by TIIIINY little struts? Who thought that was a good idea!? #-o

So I only just now took a good look at the in-box image of Magnus, and it sure looks like his "wing pack" is a separate piece. First off, it looks like it's tucked away in the lower right corner of the package, and you certainly don't see it on the in-box figure. Also, the box art of Magnus in truck mode depicts him without the wings hanging out the back of the truck...

Now I absolutely want this figure!
