From DecepticusPrime@tfw2005
Whilst scanning through the transformers at work today, I scanned the AOE leaders and found the 2 Megatrons to be crossed with the movie leaders and a listing for an Ultra Magnus.
Please treat this as nothing more than a rumor for now. So Masterpiece Ultra Magnus and Generations Leader class Ultra Magnus in the same year? Will this be a new mold or another Prime repaint? Let us know what you think and speculate away here at our Energon Pub and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Oh GOD, let it be true. And let it also not suck. Amen.

Think this is great news as I love the TF Leader scale toys and love the Ultra Magnus character toys.
What I'd like to see in a Generations Leader scale Ultra Magnus is the IDW G-1 comic art designs used on the toy sculpt. Want it to be a huge one piece transformation back and forth. Don't want to see any parts forming combined modes.

Honestly, I hope not. I hate that mold for Prime. Could it look ok if covered in armour? Maybe, but I'd rather see a full new figure.

It would be easier on my wallet than the 200$+ MP.

Not annouced yet. It's still a Japan exclusive. Still, a North American MP Magnus would certainly be possible. I predict at least 125$+tx. The box will be in English only because it's way too hard to put some French and Spanish on a MP box. It will be, as usuall, a TrU exclusive. Everybody will be able to buy it except us Québécois because of that stupid language issue. Problem that TrU will still refuse to fix. Scalpers will raid the stores. As a result, Magnus will only be available on Ebay for 200$+. In the end, most people will say "fawk it" and just buy the Takara one.

MP Magnus.
I am in need of a CHUG Magnus taller than the Generations FOC deluxe...
Buy Takara Mags now or wait until this is confirmed... argh!

Hope not, Also.
Don't want to see any smaller cab-bot that parts-forms combines with a Armor trailer to form a leader class toy.
Would rather see a Generations one piece big Leader scale Ultra Magnus toy that just transforms back and forth.

I doubt it'll be that good. I think it'll be a simple white and blue repaint.

People really want the old white Prime cab inner robot on this toy, and using the new Voyager Prime mold as a base is but one of several ways that could be done.megatronus wrote:I'm not sure how people are making the jump from the "Generations Leader Ultra Magnus" rumor to "Voyager Prime repaint with armor" speculation.

I get that's what people would want, but then I imagine the description wouldn't be "Leader Ultra Magnus."
The CW Voyager Prime mold is made to accommodate combination with 4 smaller bots, not necessarily a trailer. Given the simplified route Hasbro has been traveling, we're more likely to get a standard leader class blue, white, and red figure.
That's just my own speculation, given the zero information we have besides the rumor.

2 of 30: SDCC 2013 Shockwave's Laboratory
3 of 30: Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus
4 of 30: Platinum Edition Grimlock vs. Decepticon Bruticus

8 of 30: MP-01 Masterpiece Acid Storm
9 of 30: MP-02 Masterpiece Soundwave

Again, don't bother with it. I think #16 and #17 have proven the randomness of the list.

My question is that there are already 2 leader Megatrons coming, would they release 3 or 4 leaders in one year?

They actually have in the past, though at least one was a retool. Here's the list of what's currently confirmed:
1) Megatron
2) Thundercracker (retool of Jetfire)
3) Armada Megatron (retool of Megatron)
Releasing 2 all-new Leader molds per year is not unheard of, and given 2 of the 3 announced are retools, it's not too far of a stretch that Ultra Magnus is planned, retool or not.

Still, this is interesting. Hope we get an actual original mold rather than a Prime retool.
I wonder if this will decrease the secondary-market costs for the FP City Commander set?

It's not coming to Western retail. Both it and the other set were exclusive to the Transformers Kids Day event over in Southeast Asia.

I did not realize so many people would be interested in the white Prime inner Transformer gimmick. I never cared for it!

You should have seen how divided the fandom became when Masterpiece Ultra Magnus was revealed to be ignoring it. Literally split the fandom in half with everyone either liking it or hating it.padfoo wrote:Sabrblade wrote:People really want the old white Prime cab inner robot on this toy, and using the new Voyager Prime mold as a base is but one of several ways that could be done.megatronus wrote:I'm not sure how people are making the jump from the "Generations Leader Ultra Magnus" rumor to "Voyager Prime repaint with armor" speculation.

Ahh, last Thursday. The time of fanrages and flame wars. And the universe was created, so that's cool. (Google "Last Thursdayism" if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

Thursday was Tuesday? Is it you who's confused, or is it me?
And since the current crop of Generations figures are based on the IDW comics, has anyone thought that the figure might come with a Minimus Ambus instead?
(What I really want is for it to combine with Optimus into Omega Prime, but that seems vastly unlikely.)

What if Minimus Ambus was a Headmaster or Powermaster for the white cab robot?
