I say go KO city commander i picked mine up of Ebay for £35 and its not bad at all it has a flaw here and there but nothing that cant be fixed

The head looks good, legs, waist, chest fit perfect on mine the flaws are the shoulder and fists as there a little loose but i used some blue tack and everthing is fine just for poseing

The plastic is not bad at all either doesnt feel cheep and light

The paint again is not bad some nit picks

The main bother for me is that Big Fn Gun 1. i just hate it anyway 2. he just cant hold it up , i heard a few people say if if UM shoulders are weak he cant hold it up but mine tight and still no joy

you can always get a ko utra magnus to go with the CC you wouldnt be able to tell as he is hidden

plus you can get some reprolabels for him for extra detail.

I will try and put some pics up of mine later on tonight but over all for that price you cant realy complain for a ko.

considering the price of Classics UM and the City Commander set, plus any of the add-ons for the add-on, I've thought about a KO version before, but I'm happy with alternating between God Magnus (okay, it's just the RID Ultra Magnus, but I like his Japanese name better) and and Energon Ultra Magnus.

The Energon one is crazy money you say? I like him with my AEC cast (need to pick up a Bulkhead at some point to be my Springer) but he's not 100% there for Classics. He's a nice placeholder, but I personally could do with a better likeness to G1.

The Titanium one is sort of good. Shame he's so white, and the blue isn't really blue. That puts me off. I like how they made it all one thing though, no partsforming, is there?

The missle launchers come off, then re-attatch in bot mode. The transformation is strikingly simplistic. Literaly pop pop pop your done.....

Here let me put you off of that horrible toy:


If that's not enough, his knees bend the wrong way, his arms pop off just from being looked at funny.

Plus it's super rare and therefore super expensive, getting a Classics Ultra Magnus and genuine City Commander with upgrade pack is cheaper especially considering what the tits version offers compared to CC.

Animated UM did absolutely nothing for me so I take it the same with you? I would just consider that just a suggestion mind you and I'm surprised this one wasn't mentioned or did I miss it...? Whoa, now that I think of it HasTak didn't make an UM for Cybertron/Galaxy did they?

Technically, they did release an Ultra Magnus for Cybertron, a repaint of RiD Ultra Magnus, as a Costco exclusive. Same as Universe 2003 Ultra Magnus.

Ooooooh so that's it, well thanks for that insight!

heres a couple of pics just to point out a couple of the paint apps the chest mabey has one lick too many but better than not enough and that little blue splat ive not tryed to get it off yet

But as a hole in hand im fine with the nit picks, i cant grumble at all i new what i was getting into buying this set as a ko and to be honest its 100X better than i ever thought it would be.

Forgot about Animated UM. I wouldn't mind him too much. But I don't have any other Animated bots, and they are quite distinctive in their designs, in a way that sets them apart from a lot of other styles of TF.

Oh, Dead Metal, you unsold me on Tits UM, btw, nice work.

re:RID Ultra Magnus, wasn't there a yellow and red repaint? Or am I thinking of Armada Prime and maybe Jetfire?
