you know, i just wish for a moment, that the cheap..Optimus prime repainted Ultra Magnus was actually an almost accurate Ultra Magnus figure!! I'm sooo tired of seeing repainted primes that are simply dubbed Ultra-Magnus!!! Its not fair, remold him, update him, but don't go cheap and repaint Optimus Prime over, and Over, and Over, and over again....we have enough repaints to buy with the seekers... could we not have the same issue with Ultra Magnus?? I want Hasbro tot do a fully posable and show accurate G-1 Ultra Magnus Classics toy, instead of the friggin repaint of classics Prime..Not that its bad, but come on!!!

To try and break up the negativity, the UB set grows on me more and more. Not the biggest fan of Prime, but in general I don't like Prime or his figure incarnations. When I first got the set I really just wanted Megatron, and then he fell out of favor and then regained it. I mean, these figures are what they are, and that seems to be cheap figures thrown together for the sake of either an exclusive release or as marketing tools. G1 Megatron was a gun, so original Classics was a gun, but original Classics Prime is less G1 like than the 2 pack Prime. I don't know. Just an observation with no real point included.

That trigger thing is a great trick. Its better then haveing cardboard jamed in his back.

I don't own the 2-pack yet, but if Optimus were repainted like Magnus and repackaged with a car carrier (see where I'm going with this already?) as part of the Voyager-class would it be more in-scale as a true Classics Ultra Magnus?
