Ooh! Thundertron is sporting the Star Seekers faction symbol! I have not seen that since I read up on the Chinese Transformers MMO!

But regardless of that, and the two figures... I am good. And I am wondering if he was originally intended to be the much rumored Leo Prime. Or, if Takara Tomy still plans to make that character afterall.

I think I will wait and see if a Leo Prime toy gets made from the Thundertron mold.

Didn't think I'd like Ultra Magnus, but he's way better then Animated Magnus.

And he doesn't look to gundam/slick now.
I'll get him, if he's ever released anywhere.

I want Magnus but the other guy naaaaaa I don't like transformers that turn to animals I can't stand it

Except for the dinobots but they are not animals technically

Thundertron, maybe. I would have to see in-hand. Magnus? Hell no. Fuuuuugly.

Can't stand the alt mode on Ultra Magnus. Nice bot mode, though.

Thundertron? Iffy bot mode, and the lion mode would be better if not for the overlong front claws and grasshopper back legs.

damn that magnus is looking sharp. cant wait to get him. gonna have to see a review of thundertron to make a final decision.

I hope Thundertron appears in the show. I've not read the book he was in, and it just seems very odd for a character like that to exist in toy form, much less as a Voyager.

But hey, if Hasbro wants to make book characters a reality...bring on Paddles the Dinobot!!!!

None of them are "animals technically." They all transform into animals. I'd be surprised with anyone that argues dinosaurs aren't/weren't animals.

That fast? Wow. Glad I'm not in a hurry to get them.

Good Grab PrymeStriker! I haven't decided if I want both yet or not as i'm not sure where they would go in my collection. so it's no big loss for me on this one.

Oh no, I didn't grab them. Which is why I'm not in any hurry. Getting my hands on Dreadwing, Airachnid, FE Bulkhead, Dead End (yup), and Vehicon (if I get one before 2014 ) are my first priorities for this line.

I will wait to see some more pictures of Ultra Magnus. If he has a G1 looking face, I could add some white paint and use him as Classics Magnus.

Not interested in Thundertron.

So nowadays Hasbro is making the no show character toys more available and either cancel or not bother making the in show character toys?

Sad but true.

Yup Same here! Looks like everyone is looking for the same guys.

Both are excellent!

Following up last night in-package images of Transformers Prime Voyager Wave 4's Ultra Magnus and Thundertron, site sponsor Robotkingdom has now shared a small gallery of in-hand images. Take a look below:

So is it safe to assume the hammer locks?

If the hammer locks, that's awesome.

My biggest gripe is the bland paint scheme on Magnus. It's not that impressive. Otherwise, I like them both.

I hope some 3rd party or other is already making a good weapon for Thundertron, but even without one he's a definite buy. Magnus is very much Animated Magnus for a Classics collection, IMO, just like RTS Lugnut or Prime Bulkhead. That's not a bad thing, by any means, I love the hammer concept. Not 100% sold on the figure though. Not really liking the vehicle and robot mode is, yes, a bit bland looking.

Okay now I want Magnus

Agreed. Normally I'm not picky about paint aps, but those smokestacks look naked. Eh, nothing a silver paint marker won't solve though...

Also, I know I said this earlier, but I really, really hope Thundertron pops up in the show. A pirate lion is just so random, it's intriguing.

Wow. Those look even worse out of the packaging.

Magnus is just straight, plain awful. Simplistic AND ugly. Yay.

You know what would be interesting? If he appeared in a sequel to Prime; Beast Hunters.

Probably not likely, but I still want to pick these two up. I'll have to do Hasbro's job again.

Magnus looks great, if lacking in the paint app department. Thundertron looks pretty interesting too, the more I look at him, the more of a Zero Jager/Schneider vibe I get from him, haha.

PASS AND PASS. Believe me, I'm not complaining.......more more for the "names we don't speak of" and Takara MP stuff...

...well I'll continue to wait for Takara to release images. So are we to expect the Hasbro version to have only 1 rocket/missile?
