What choices are there for someone looking to fill a spot in a classics display?
I am aware of the city commander add on that requires an ultra magnus base figure.(which is simply a classics convoy O.P. painted white just as it was with the G1 version. Is this correct?) What is the general asking price for just the city commander add on, for just the white "ultra magnus" base figure and finally for both combined?
I ask because prices tend to fluxuate greatly on ebay especially with the buy it now options mixed with the auctions that gradually increase over time. It can be quite difficult to nail down an average price on things.
Are there any other ultra magnus options out there that would fit into scale with the classics line?
I would say that anything more than two inches taller than convoy O.P. would be out of scale. (I say this with the knowledge that city commander exceeds that, however exceptions can be made when figures are that kick ass.)
Any suggestions for someone not looking to spend two hundred plus on an ultramagnus?

Id'e say, your out of luck...
Wait... What is THAT!?

Only the single greatest Ultra Magnus ever to be released, ever.
Box Art does this guy NO justice, wich is why I posted this posed picture instead... Owning him is the Ultimate Victory, trust me. Pluss, he combines with RID Optimus to form Omega Prime, Fits in well with Classics, and on top of it all, can be found on eBay for a little more than $100.00, because of added shipping...

He's MUCH larger than Classics OP, but hey, like you said:

Hmm. Hes not so bad. Especially concidering the alternative. City commander, or NOTHING. Ya gotta wonder why they didnt go ahead and add the horns to his head to cement the ultra magnus feel though.
May I ask what the RID stands for on that O.P. figure you mentioned?

KO?

If you're looking for a specific scale, your options are pretty limited. There's the Titaniums UM, but it's on the small side. There's an upcoming MP, but that's probably a couple years off, a lot more than 2 inches larger than Classics Prime, and probably will run about $250-300. That's about all I can think of that's fairly G1 accurate.

They're both from RID, Robots In Disguise.
It was my favorite series, and had some of the best toys ever made!

you should watch the whole series, It's pretty damn good, with alot of cameos from un-expected characters

AHAH! Robots in disquise. Well that prime magnus combo looks killer! Not to mention powerful.
I cannot think of another more powerful combo than prime and magnus.
Im guessing that was their ace in the hole? I cant imagine to many standing in the way of that combo except for maybe a megs screamer, or galv cyclonus combo.

What about Energon Ultra Magnus. People seemed to go loopy over those a while back. Odd looking but it sort of worked as it had the white cab that clipped into his chest a bit like the G1 toy.

That's going to cost more than City Commander.

Currently there really only is City Commander, CHMS did post renders of an UM they're working on, but that might take a very long time to come out.

Alternatively you could make one using the Universe Inferno mold and some paint.

There's also Titanium Ultra Magnus, but I don't think the scale is quite right

He was already mentioned. Really, what stopped me from buying this was it's paint. Teely sky-powder blue. and the only OP its in scale with is that one from the 2-pack, wich might I add is VERY cool, not lame like people say....
