Easy explanation for Magnus' red hands and blue handle on the Forge

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Wed May 29, 2013 10:55 am

Fingers are still the steel gray though. >:oP

Wasn't the Forge blue to begin with? Or is that just a figment of my already demented imagination?

This is Hasbro we're dealing with. Not everything will be spot on.

On the toy itself, it's always been blue. On the show, no, it's the same orange-gold color as the rest of the hammer.

The second knuckle on the first finger of his left hand is slightly the wrong shade. THIS FIGURE IS A TOTAL FAIL. GOOD JOB, HAS-BLOW!

No, no. You've got it wrong. The Optimus version was a total fail.

This one is a Semi-win!

No, only someone as epic as Ultra Magnus can.
Really though, I think it would be pretty hard for RID Starscream, or RID/BH Megatrong to hold. I think only BH shockwave, and/or BH Optimus are the only ones that would be able to at least hold it without falling.
i think what he meant was BH voyager ultra magnus and im pretty sure he would be able to hold it up but the real question is it worth spending so much for a hammer? Because we all know not even the nice paint job would make up for this ugly mold not to mention the hollow legs that for some reason refuse to show up in any picture....

Okay, no, BH Magnus would most likely not be able to hold a hammer that size.
Demexiconz, I don't give a s--t about the mold. The weaponizer prime was bull, but this is looking awesome. Your going to miss out on one hot figure.

I think he was joking.

The optimus one though was not a total fail but....

I could name a bunch of reasons, but to simplify it, the mold was the above

If the smaller handles of this Forge are 5mm in diameter, then the Voyager BH Ultra Magnus should at least be able to grip this Forge by its handles.

Here, lemme help you out with a Transformer friendly one. Fortunately I have such images archived and on hand for moments such as this.

Meh, it's okay, but I think it would apply to rescue bots.

I'm not 100% sure if I will get this figure but imo it looks cool,,, I just wish it was a new 'classic' mold for Ultra Magnus so it fits with the generations/classics universe line better.

I will need to watch a video review for size comparison and maybe that change my mind

I'd say this could count as a Classics Ultra Magnus...

Same goes for Shockwave, Starscream, the Combaticons, Soundwave... :lol:

FOC Magnus would be a great Classics version of the character...at 3 times the size.

I agree with you on that one, this is why I already own the Takara FOC Ultra Magnus figure

I just liked him better with the Takara paint job not the Hasbro colors. Great figure I just wish they had made him a Voyager size

You are right, but maybe this will help out. Here they have a shoulder add on kit and a Box Trailer Kit that may help our FOC Ultra Magnus figure look better,,, I hope >:oP

Check this thread out but it's way overpriced at about $170

yeah, the huge price, weird not really transforming (it's not even partsforming, which I'm ok with...it's a bunch of armour pieces hidden under the trailer...why?) and the strange way the thighs end up having the feet facing out put me off a tad.

okay, the price puts me off most of all. half that price and I'd have it. I'd pay half the price for just the armoured bits that don't actually seem to make any part of the trailer.

Could always use Energon Ultra Magnus as a trailer.

>170$ + shipping for what is litterally an incomplete figure.

go to the thread for it. the review shows that it's basically a trailer. the armour bits for the bot are stored underneath, like luggage. it's far less complicated than it should be for $170.

I kinda watched the review: I fastforwarded several times getting the gist of it. It seemed complicated to me, but I understand what you're saying.
