So is it safe to assume the hammer locks?

There's a blue tab on the shaft of the laser that we can see in open and closed positions. Also the pictures show the hammer engaged without the spring removed. I for one am quite happy

That has me worried. The only reason they didn't release Breakdown was because of the AM ports. Hasbro will probably use that as an excuse to not release it. I can hear it now "derrr da wapins don't has no spreengs init sos we cants releese it."

But... Ultra magnus CLEARLY has the Hasbro logo on the box...

WANT THEM BOTH!

both the king of the space pirates and the Leader of the Wreckers will be MINE!

Magnus has definitely grown on me, but Thundertron remains my goal for the Prime line.
Dead End will join his crew.

As an Ultra Magnus fan I have to say i'm very disappointed in this figure. Far too much blue for my liking.

And Thundertron? Yeah ... always wanted a transforming Zoid Liger.

No. Hasbro never gave a specific reason, just that BD wasn't "made to the same standards" and is in a "no-man's-land" cost-wise.
Considering every other AM figure is one Hasbro CAN sell just with added ports makes it incredibly unlikely those are all that prevent Hasbro from selling BD.

And you can see the spring in the hammer.

Balljoint hips, balljoint hips everywhere.

The horror.

As long as they don't have a calf swivel we should be fine.

Thundertron does.

Thundertron is really cool, but I wish his colours were darker. He looks a little too heroic in those bright colours to me. Magnus looks good to, even if his truck mode is uninspiring and his head makes me think of Sauron.

I hope to get them both, despite the MechTech weapons.

Well, Magnus' hammer locks.

Yes, they did. Evil is right, it was because getting the AM ports removed would cost too much. Same thing with Unicron and (I know it makes no sense here, but...) Ironhide.

"Doh, ports no match with us mechy techstuff line so we no import, buy our bumblebeez you idot fanz. So what are we going to do about this Avengers line?"
