The War Within verion is a pass, but this guy I'm longing for!

Magnus hasn't had a decent figure since R.I.D. This In my opinion is truely a must have for any G1 fan. Also, it's nice to see him with the rockets in the right place. After the initial pics I was afraid they'd be stationary on the top of the arms.

Hasbro should hire any one reading this to set up their displays! Has anyone reading this ever seen a convention pic without errors? I work in advertising, and I don't care how rushed you are, that display is ment to sell the brand, you do it right

Oh Well, my question now is when does he hit the shelves?

I don't like it, the colours and the head aint doing it for me. I'll take the brick O_O Wow, that felt weird.

Are they going to make a G1 Prime in the Ultra (6") scale, too?

From the look of him on the stand he appears to be bigger than the others. I think he could as tall as Classic Prime.

Like Liege Evilmus said. It's nice to see that the missile pods are proper. Way to go Hasbro!

Now, what to nitpick? Could there be a problem with the trailer pivot? Is it one long fused piece?

Aw, darn it to heck, Phil, the prince of insufficient light, could almost make me sell my immortal soul for this one. Gimme gimme gimme!!!

DO WANT!!!!

Yes! An Ultra Magnus figure that can switch between robot & alt mode w/out any hassle! Plus it isn't a re-paint of Prime.......if he's as good as my new Titanium Rodimus, then he's gonna be bitchin'!

If you have the Ultra Magnus spotlight, it shows the same transformation used for the Titanium. Just a little early treat I suppose.

Here's something to bitch about:
Shoulder appear to be way far behind where shoulders should sit and the loading bay at the back of the vehicle mode doesn't lower to let cars in. :lol:

Pffft, who cares, it still looks great.

Man, outside of first wave Megs, I can't agree with you more! I have 2 of all the sixers. The repaints are coming soon though, and outside of a Seekers, I figure then I'll buy none of those.

HASBRO, WE LOVE THIS LINE BECAUSE THE FIGURES ARE NEW TAKES ON SOME CLASSICS AND CONCEPT CHARACTERS WE'D OTHERWISE NEVER SEE IN A TOY LINE!

RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO FALL INTO OLD HABITS!

MAKE NEW MOLDS, NOT NEW COLOR PATTERNS!

Now this is how Classic Magnus shoulda been done. This one's definately a must.

Get the 2-pack for Skywarp at least. You already know what Prime looks like, UM is no different. (Except for the guns & color scheme in general.............)

I havent seen the alt mode before now, and its awesome ... maybe i should pick it up =)

Glad to see they went with blue eyes. This is also the first time I've seen the alt mode. Not bad at all for a titanium. A must get.

It is nice to see that Ultra Magnus gets some respect paid to his alt form and robot form.

he looks good badly digibashed as star convoy

Woah, I love it. Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime and WW Optimus Prime are my fave titaniums so far. This one is spot on!

I wonder what an OpPrime repaint of this would look like.
