I don't really care for his "Oh" face, but I think it's cool that they gave a nod to the G1 Magnus with the white face underneath.

The whole Magnus Hammer didn't really come about until Animated, so it doesn't make too much sense to include a hammer with a purely G1 representation of UM.
But then again, that would make a great Amazon.jp-type exclusive
Also, faceless Spike & Daniel remind me of this

Looks great.
On a seperate note its not too late for KFC to melt down all those citizen stacks figures that never sold into toothbrushes.

Dear Primus,
He looks perfect, like Wheeljack a straight 10.
However he's huge. And I really want MP Star Saber.
Might skip Ultra Magnus this time. But he looks excellent.

Besides KFCs bad timing for an MP Magnus, it just puzzles me how takara could make it scale properly with MP-10 in both modes but KFC couldnt. Takara flat out made the KFC designers look lazy.

Was ultra magnus taller than optimus in the cartoon? I always thought he was the same height as rodimus prime?

It was only in the rebirth they stood next to each other and they were the same height....buuuuut that was rebirth animation. Scale was pretty bad back then when the animation for G1 was at it ls worse

Wasn't mass shifting developed by Takara?

The scale in every transformers cartoon is out of whack.

Color me the only one not terribly excited by this release. His proportions are too chunky, and something about his face seems off. Like he's got a skinny head and the helmet is too big for it. And didn't he have a visor in the cartoon rather than individual eyes?

while youre right about being chunky (which i think works for him), i really dig the head sculpt.
and no he didnt have a visor. we all discussed that about 10 or so pages ago. thought id save you some time by just telling you rather than sifting back and having to read about the "buttflap debacle".

Hahaha....thanks for the help. I looked him up on TFWiki right after I posted that and he does indeed have two eyes. They look like sunglasses to me, though.
I dunno.....I am of the opinion that the chunkiness works against him....he is a physically big bot in the show to be sure, but the proportions work better there, even if the animation isn't the best.

unfortunately pulling off a MP ultra magnus was always going to be tricky. some sacrifices im sure had to be made and im pleased with the overall result.
