It is because KFC used the following scale chart image for size reference when they made the figure:

HOWEVER, there's one little problem with this particular scale chart: It doesn't exist. Unlike the official one that Takara's been using for sizing the official MPs, the scale chart seen in the above image that KFC used for Citizen Stack is fanmade.



Actually KFC made Stacks that out of scale because they let the fans vote on if they want it to scale with MP-10 in bot mode or ALT mode. and the fans voted Alt mode...

Woot! Red car trailer bed, blue inside legs. :DANCE:

[Edit] And those pics make me realize how much I miss my G1 Magnus.... :-(

... I never noticed the buttflap in these pics until the shot from the back. It's really less conspicuous than I thought. It's impressive that despite said buttflap, he's still very light on kibble in robot mode. This is definitely a masterpiece figure if there ever was one. Also, the side profile shot... is the slightly bulky backpacking actually a JETPACK? I think I see thrusters o.o

You know....seeing these pictures makes me glad I canceled my order for Magnus. The blue is too dark compared to the original toy and the cartoon, he's too chunky for my tastes. If I ever see him on sale somewhere.....maybe. But otherwise, he's all yours girls and boys.

I'm not digging the fake wheels on his feet. Was that really necessary ? After 30 years they find ways to tuck in and hide the annoying vehicle kibble but choose instead to emulate 1986 toy technology with fake wheels.

I'm actually digging the color and lives down the street from a true UM coloring scheme. But I'll gladly add you Ultra Magnus to my personal supply. If they did Marlboor, I can see this on up for a recolor.

I like it. It's part of his cartoon model.

I actually think its a fantastic MP. I only own MP1 and Grimlock, but this would seriously make me consider buying my 3rd

Buying this toy because it looks great and it's big

Could care less about scale or buying stand alone toys.

Think MP-22 and KFC Citizen are a lot closer in height than some speculate. Guess we'll now soon enough when fans buy the toy, take pics and do video reviews.

Did you see the picture posted by Sabrblade?

Not sure what you mean by the speculation. They look significantly different in height....

BIG FAT PASS !!! >:oP

You guys can have this one. I don't think the blue looks as nice as the G1 toy, not even close. :BANG_HEAD:


I never got into the later Transformers bots anyway, so no ties to Magnus like I do for Prime.

Delta Magnus wrote:Well Transformers and scale have never exactly got along well- and considering most of the Season 3 episodes were animated by the notoriously shoddy AKOM (leading to some truly awful size changing) and the general disregard for the scale chart the animators had...yeah, I don't care. He looks good next to him anyway, and Ultra Magnus' size seems to be one of those things nobody can agree on (let's not forget that time he was able to pick up the constructicons in his hands like they were toys- which is hilarious considering they combine into a robot that at one point held Prime in his fist in a similar manner!).

He looks a good size to me anyway.


Thanks for those memories. Season 3 was so awful that even as a kid I was always thinking wth. Magnus's size is fine Grimlock on the other hand is a whole other story!

I don't care even thought your right ! LOL :sad:
Most MP's are after designed after the Cartoon colors. However, they go back and forth from G1 Toy colors and Cartoons. Look at Takara's MP10 and Hasbro's MP Prime. Starscream, Soundwave's eyes, and this goes threw out the whole Transformers toy line. Which to make them like, G1 Toy colors, or like cartoon. Just saying.

Want to try again? Because I have an idea of what you're trying to say, but it's not at all clear.

If you're trying to use Hasbro's MP releases as examples of MPs using toy colors then there's your problem. This isn't a Hasbro release. This is Takara, who goes for cartoon colors every time since MP-9.

I definitely prefer the darker blue over the G1 toy's blue.


It just looks better to me.

I do like the toy blue, but I think it would look a tad iffy on this figure. I'm glad they're going with the cartoon shade of blue.
