Okay, now you've convinced me to buy Ultra Magnus. I was originally going to buy him anyway, but I wasn't if he was going to suck.

That gun/hammer looks great in both modes! That's a rare occurrence. When's the last time we got that? Megatron? :lol:

You shall lead my Bulkhead (when I get the FE version this Winter) & Wheeljack into battle, Wrecker Leader. Ultra Magnus isn't on the top of my priorities list, but if I see him, he's an insta-buy (unless I see Vehicon.......... :lol: Yeah right!)

The vehicle modes obviously ARE different in transformation, size, length and shape. That head is not Breakdown's sculpt at all. Video is really dark. A little fact checking and some lighting could have helped. Ten plus minutes of opinion isn't a figure review. No offense if the author is reading. Just, you know, do the facts and wrap up with your thoughts.

I'm pretty happy to see the Powerizer weapon actually locks in place for a change. It also looks nice to me in both modes. Real excited for the figure it comes with too. ...What? ;)

Why did he put the cannon on backwards in vehicle mode? :???:

I was already planning on getting UM, but this definitely sealed the deal. I do agree that the vehicle mode is pretty drab. That's okay though because I will only be displaying him in robot mode! I think he looks great and really hope he makes an (eventual) appearance on the show! :BOT:

I'm going to either have to find somebody to give me a 2nd missile for Magnus (So he can have 2 missiles on his shoulders like in G1. Yay for shoulder ports), or buy a 2nd Magnus. :???:

Motto: "Motive is a universal weakness."
This thing's all about the robot mode. It looks great so long as it's standing on two legs. Can't see much wrong with it at all.

Vehicle mode on the otherhand really does blow. The connectors for the main weapon are plain poor and the red roof is horrible. It's a bit of a kick in the nuts actually. All that money they wasted on that thick layer of red paint could've been used to paint those rims and smokestacks.

Oh well. It's still serious wantage.
