I wonder if there will be a way to jam that (hypothetical) Ultra Magnus into the Leader UM. That's got to be the best option, right? I mean, totally ridiculous to have a white semi-truck inside another white semi-truck... but doable.

Old as in released before? Yup, by TakaraTomy:

Transformers Henkei Cliffjumper (Cliff) Gallery

Chronicle EZ Collection Skywarp

This will be their first US releases, sporting the mold tweaks (holes in the wings for Skywarp, extra pegs for Cliffjumper) so they can told apart.

Extra pegs? I must've missed something, what were the extra pegs for on Bumblebee?

This minor retool stems from the 2012 single release, and is easily missed. The pegs are located in the arms where the elbow would be, and are for locking the Vehicle Mode together better. Works too well if you ask me, once I transform him the arms won't unpeg anymore. :lol:

Saw the original character versions of these shelfwarming at Big Lots about a month ago. I think they had the Bee with the black symbol, but really didn't pay much attention since I already had some version (or two) of each.

A fellow TF fan hurricane567, on the TFW boards, found the recently listed Generations Legions Ultra Magnus and Skywarp at Fred's in south Louisianna. He also took pictures to show us fans the deco. As predicted Ultra Magnus and Skywarp are based on their RTS Molds. Generations Legion Skywarp is not to be confused with Generations Legends Skywarp which also comes out this year and is a slightly bigger size, more akin to that of a scout class figure.

I thought Skywarp was Dirge for a second, until I realized that I was looking at both his head and his back simultaneously rather than separating the two.
Hopefully when I have a chance to buy these, the paint won't wear easily as some of my recently bought figures.

Goodbye, Minimus Ambus. Hello, Legends Ultra Magnus.

I'm all over these like white on Prime. :-P

I like that UM's wheels are white.
Was there ever a Thundercracker deco of this seeker mold?

Yeah it came in that G2 themed generations box set with the blue hero prime.

News Credits: 3 · Mon Apr 06, 2015 9:30 pm

yes, as part of the Generations "Ultimate Gift Set"

it was retooled a little to have null rays as well as the built in weapons

News Credits: 41 · Mon Apr 06, 2015 9:34 pm

Thanks fellas.

I recently saw a Starscream with the extra weapons at Big Lots.
I might have to go get one and just do a custom TC paint job.

Finally! The G1 direct inspired design! Soooooooo getting this!

News Credits: 26 · Mon Apr 06, 2015 9:47 pm

I NEED THAT SKYWARP!!!!!!!!!!
Not want, NEED! This is the only scale I can afford the seeker trio without paying high prices or having to search high and low for because I already have the other two!

While I love the idea of the Minimus Ambus figure, I gotta admit your idea is very tempting haha!

Oh, great, one of those things I didn't know I wanted before: an armored Ultra Magnus in naked Magnus colors. The blue legs on the figure annoy me, so close to getting it right.

And wow! That is some ugly Skywarp art! I'm sure that'll sell some figures.

There was also one that came out with that short run of Generasians repaints that were TRU exclusives. That's the one I've got. I'm sure it's the same as the one that came in whatever multipack the others are referring to.

Hey Emerje, you'll have to explain that one to me (I still feel like a noob sometimes). That sentence left me stumped. How is he both armoured and naked?

Come one man, its not even something you'll find at toysrus. These are made for a different market like Fred's (whatever that store is, I never heard of it). Its a lower priced official transformers toy for a parents who want an inexpensive toy for their kids. I just posted it because I thought fans would like to know these are out there because they do go along with a scale we have other toys of. And also because these wouldnt be found at the usual places.

I think he's thinking about putting THIS legends Magnus inside the the upcoming leader Magnus armor. Piloting and the like.

Actually I was talking about the backer card art showing a fully armored Ultra Magnus in the "Albino Prime" white and light blue colors. Now I kinda want to see Leader Magnus in those colors.
