New official images of Transformers Titanium War Within Ultra Magnus and War Within Sunstorm have surfaced. These two moulds while wonderful, are highly criticized by the fans. Most fans are tired of the same old Optimus Prime white wash repaint while others think Sunstorm to me no more then a G1 Character created by Dreamwave and has no place in the War Within timeline. Whehter you love them or hate them, there's no denying that these two figures are on their way.

Hmmmmmm

Magnus (not calling him ultra as there is no armour) is the standard Prime repaint but loving all Magnus things I'll get him.
Sunstorm for a DW created character i love him :oops:

If I have extra cash, I may pick up Magnus, but the seeker mold does nothing for me.

Actually i dont like Sunstorm's Decepticon logo, it seems too big for the yellow color if ya understand. And magnus is just a redecolor ...

I like em both .. but didn't WW OP have a bad habit of coming apart at the seems? I know one of my girlfriends, Pearl was less than pleased about that. (and she's CRAZY for OP!)

Sunstorm really should be a creamy white, where the black is, but I do hope to get him!

really? actually i wished that he had more black in the arms and thighs to go with the yellow as the yellow stands out so much better when put next to black (as evident in the alt mode). but that's just me.

would it killem to paint his mouth plate blue?

The WWI seeker mould is one the better ones in this line. I find it stays together in both modes really well.
My only peeve is the big gaping hole in the back of the Jet mode.

In any case, I might pick up Magnus just because I never picked up OP. but Sunstorm, having Thundercracker already, I'm not sure it warrants an additional purchase. And I also have the LOC Sunstorm which is a suitable replacement. However black does look a lot better than creamy white on Sunstorm.

The shape, the paint jobs, the look of it, I dunno, just don't like it.

Man, I feel like I'm so far behind. I don't even have Rodimus or Starscream yet. Not a big fan of the Op to Magnus repaints, but I'll definitely be picking up Sunstorm. I'm a sucker for seekers...

I'm a big fan of Magnus repaints so I'm down for him and Sunstorm is 100 times better looking then WW Starscream. The head mould is just to awkward for Screamer, but the generic looking seeker head they used works well for Sunstorm/Cracka'/Warp. I'll be getting both for sure.

A little of topic, but I could see Hasbro repainting Fallen Silver and calling him Megatron, like the IDW Infiltraion or Spotlight Megs. I bought him the other day and it's almost painful how similar they are to one another.

When I find them I will get them.

Where is yellow is my favourite colour next to purple and blue. And I wear alot of black, I would never wear yellow and black together. Too much Yellow and black I think of bees and hazardstripes.

That's no good. I was hoping to see the sides of the box and see if we're at least getting new graphics.

by **x-ultramagnus-x** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:09 pm

even if they made ultramagnus gum and it tasted like fish...i would learn to like it! ;;)

Yes, there will be new graphics. Unless you live in Canada, then say hello to yet another GI-Megatron box.

Yes. I would shoot for April or May.

True North Strong & Free. I only own the WW Optronix, so the box doesn't bother me that much, but I can see it becoming a pain if I bought more of these figures and displayed them in the box.

That's the entire reason I buy the US versions for hobby shops. 5 bucks more, but I get better packaging.
