OK.. I'm done! I never did show what I based my 'bash off of, so here you go:

As you can see, its the "anime" version of G1 Ultra Magnus. Here's some pictures of the final, reassembled LOC Ultra Magnus!

I will get pictures of the Alternate Mode soon!

So, when you gonna paint up a full size Cyb Prime, like that?

I like the colors. I'm generally morea toy acurate kind of guy, but the Magnus toy always looked like it was wearing Pajamas or long johns or something, in armored mode.

You have the fan made WST Ultra Magnus Trailer figure. I think I hate you now. Sweet looking custom though:)

Sweet as! Trailer time, perhaps? How about doing a role reversal with Prime, and making a trailer that turns into a batte station..?

Definbately wel done paint apps. The only issue I have with it, is that, while he looks great in robot mode, the color scheme isn?t true to him in vehiclle mode, because Magnus is supposed to have a white cab, and the blue shoulders prohibit that. Now, if you could make a trailer for him that transformed into armor, then you could make new shoulders that were blue, which are part of the trailer in vehicle mode, while still having the white cab.

Tramp imagine he's Energon Ultra Magnus instead of G1:)

I dunno... what about modding one of those trailers we've been seeing so much of lately?

by **REDLINE** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 1:53 pm

those are way too big, unfortunately.. loc ultra magnus in truck form is only about 1.5 or less inches tall, armorhide is about 2.5-3 inches tall, I have made one of the trailers for him. Speaking of him, I'm working with Delta right now hehehe

Got a trailer Armour planned?

Might not have to be a "Trailer" per say just Armour pieces that snap on his legs that LOOK like a back end.

Every incarnation of Ultramagnus had a white cab?G1, RID, and Engergon.

So this one doesn't... big deal. It still looks cool, which surely is the point. Some people are just too picky... :roll:

by **REDLINE** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:11 pm

exactly.. if I'd merely painted this tiny little thing up with white and silver, he'd be dull, boring, and UNoriginal, which is precisely the things I wanted to avoid
