Holy cow, does he ever tower over MP-10.
One thing I noted, it appears that they got rid of the solid axle for the front wheels.
Though now that I look at the second image above, I wonder if I am seeing some other anatomy than the shiny front axle. Also, now that I am looking at the wheels closely, do they look crooked in the picture?

I am pleased & happy that peaugh has this toy in hand. This means the video toy review for KFC ultra Magnus is days or hours away.
peaugh,Is one of the youtube video TF toy reviewers that I trust. As he has built a solid,honest reputation at doing this for a long time. He has a following for a reason.
I take offense to X,Saying that most fans who do those early youtube TF video reviews are lying,dishonest,get bribed,free stuff & can't be trusted. Trust me X instead.
I would trust these youtube video reviewers like peaugh more than I trust anything X says.
X,Acts up too much on this forum. X doesn't present himself in a manner that would make me trust anything he says or reviews.
I don't believe all of those KFC toys broke on X. As he has given no valid reasaon to trust anything he says. based off the way X,Presents himself so negatively & dishonorable here.

This thing is just on steroids, way too big for my tastes. I'm surprised this is getting a decent response, considering Acoustic Wave got shutdown the moment MP Soundwave got noticed.

I am speculating it's because KFC rushed the release of this. Some fans are estimating the Takara MP-22 UM might get released March 2015.
The KFC version offers a different take than the Takara MP-22 version. one has armor wrapped around a 9 inch toy. While the KFC version is a oversized Titanium toy version.
I know i'm in the minority here on saying this. But I calculate the MP-22 UM in super robot mode will stand 12-13 inches tall in robot mode. The MP-10 Robot mode is already 9.5 inches tall. The car carrier trailer armor is bound to add 2-3 inches at minimal in height. The armor height I estimate will come from the boots,bigger UM head,chest torso attach pieces.
I just have my serious doubts that the super robot mode for MP-22 UM will just be a head taller than MP-10 is.
could you two just meet somewhere and fight already? you do nothing but antagonize him. its enough already. i dont agree with everything he says, but thats why theyre called opinions.
I've never used it, but I'm strongly considering it at this point...

I dont got nothing to lie about. We already went through this when you tried to accuse me of photoshopping FP stunticons to make them look small. Now im lying about my returns to BBTS. If you dont want to believe me, suit yourself. But get your **** straight. You dont know me. 10 years ago, I would have said lets meet at Botcon and ill slap the taste out your mouth. But im a little bit more sophisticated these days. Id rather just sit back and let you make a fool out yourself. Giving you one last benefit of the doubt, ill say it one last time...KFC quality sucks. Ive got burned enough times to be skeptical of them succeeding with anything this big. Youve been warned. Now go believe a guy TFSource pays to promote stuff and see where it gets you...
Mooncake,Thank you for this Peaugh's youtube video link on KFC Ultra Magnus.
I was looking forward to this Peaugh's video. As I am a huge fan of his. After watching this video. I have made my mind up. I Am buying this toy. I trust Peaugh's word when he says the Plastic used is more higher quality & stronger than the KFC plastic used on the tiny Cassettes. I love how Peaugh's showed how poseable this toy is,it's got MP level of articulation. during transformation Peaugh's has confirmed how durable this toy is.
The toy appears to have a medium Transformation. It is not overly simplistic or extremely complex.
I liked how Peaugh's said that KFC Ultra Magnus was almost the same height as TFC Hercules. Peaugh's confirmed what I said regarding this KFC UM being a great price for it's big size.
I don't mind the scale of this toy. As the 1980's toy & cartoon scale was all over the place & messed up anyways. Also the classics,generations & Masterpiece TF toy scales are all messed up,incorrectly scaled & not accurately scaled with each others toys.
I view this KFC UM toy as being in perfect 1986 Ultra Magnus toy scale. As this is the scale 1984 Optimus & 1986 Ultra Magnus were in toy form. Perfect scale
I love how this KFC UM toy can scale nicely next to MP-01,MP-05 & MP-22. HasTak MP-22,I suspect will be around 12-13+ inches tall in super robot mode. as all that car carrier armor parts is bound to add 2-3.5 inches at minimal on the super robot mode.
I won't be buying or using the Minimus Ambus from WuLongTi's shapeways store. As I am not a fan or buyer of any of the IDW TF Comics. I read those preview free IDW TF comics pages.I don't like the Minimus Ambus origin where he wears a Ultra Magnus suit of armor.

If you have the Minimus Ambus from WuLongTi's shapeways store, he can totally fit inside Stack's chest cavity and pilot him!
Color me curious,How does a fan even begin to look up the Shapeways site store. Is their some link? Once at the shapeways site store,how do you looks up transformers parts. do you just type in Transformers once on the site?
I've noticed that ebay has some shapeways transformers parts auctions. I haven't yet noticed any shapeways TF stuff on any of the USA based imports sites I visit.
I think if Hasbro ever creates a IDW Minimus Ambus 2 inch Kreon TF figure. This would be the perfect figure to fit insit the cab cavity of the KFC UM toy. Too bad the Kreo TF line is on its final leg & it won't be around much longer.
I think KFC & Other 3rd parties can makes loads of 3rd party money. By creating numerous add ons kits for this toy.
Like creating a deluxe or Voyager scale White cab that can Transform into a 1986 White Optimus robot mode.
KFC or another 3rd party. Has the option of creating a replacement Robot head for this toy.
Other 3rd parties or KFC can create a Matrix on a silver chain. That can be worn around the neck of this toy. The matrix can fit inside the robot chest cavity on this toy. Although some might just want to save money & use the MP-10 Matrix instead. with a cheap silver thin chain or bracelet they already have.
KFC or another 3rd party can have loads of fun. Creating accessories & weapons for the toy. Like that huge hammer that the TFA & TFP-BH Ultra Magnus character toys use. Perhaps a belt of missles & grenades on a utility belt that can be worn on the robot chest,legs & waist.
Reprolabels & other 3rd party sticker replacements,add ons site. Are bound to create 1986 G-1 Ultra Magnus styled stickers for this toy.

I am wondering if its possile to replace the white cab that the KFC UM toy uses. Swap it out & replace it with the 1986 Reissue Ultra Magnus white optimus truck cab robot. I am guessing probably not. As the KFC white Truck cab has all those connectors pegs & slots that connect to the car carrier parts. I think KFC should have made this a option on the toy. Wondering if the 1986 UM White Truck cab is too small of a scale to look right in vehicle & super robot mode on this KFC UM toy.
It doesn't look like the KFC UM white truck cab is permanetly attached to the toy. It looks like only the car carrier trailer hook up is attached to the white truck cab. It should be too hard to disconnect the white cab from the trailer using a screw driver.
It certainly looks like it's super easy for other 3rd parties companies or KFC to create a replacement deluxe or Voyager white cab that can transform into a 1986 looking white Optimus robot mode. then be able to combine with this KFC Ultra Magnus trailer armor in both modes.
Autobot Genocide wrote:Eh? why are you buying this then if you want a transformable cab , the whole point in this is to have a single transformation.
I'm more or less saying I like the single Transformation. But I wouldn't mind Also buying a 3rd party replacement cab that transforms into a white robot mode. It seems like it can be done easily.
I'll admit I am not a fan of the underside of the cab not having a plastic under cover,covering up the hollow cab inner sculpting.
Was KFC saving cost by not including a under cover piece in the sculping of this toy? Perhaps KFC needed to not add a under cover for the cab. due to the way the cab needs to fold up & trasform for the super robot mode.
Was the under cover on the cab omitted. So a Shapeways Minimus Ambus figure could fit inside the cab cavities? who knows?
The missing under cover under the white cab is my only minor complaint with this KFC UM toy. I still think this toy is highly superior & it beats the pants off any HasTak & 3rd party TF Ultra Magnus toy ever created thus far.
Will the MP-22 UM toy be inferior,same or superior to this KFC UM toy? who knows. For me it doesn't matter either way. Because I Also plan to buy the HasTak MP-22 Ultra Magnus toy. Due to me being a major Ultra Magnus Toy & fiction character fan.
Minor nitpick here. I think the inner white chest cavity that houses the matrix. Needed some inner detail on the back wall,maybe side of the white cavity. I'd like to see inner robot wires,pperhaps micro chips,gears & other stuff. Maybe a Repro labels add on stickers sheet will create a few stickers to fix this. We all know the inevitable Repro labels add on stickets sheets are bound to get created for this toy.
Perhaps later on in the day. I'll send the Reprolabels site guy a email message & alert him that stickers need to be created for the white inner chest cavity that houses the matrix.
Update: I just sent the Reprolabels site a email requesting stickers for this KFC UM toy. I asked him in the email if he had plans to create stickers yet for this toy or not. I copied & pasted a pic in the email showing him that inner white bare robot chrst cavity that houses the matrix. I explained stickers are desperately needed for the cavity. with inner robot details like wires,gears,computer chips. I even suggest a Autobot symol or Heart in the center of the backdrop sticker. I thought a heart would be cute & a nice touch to hamage the heart shaped sculpts that HasTak adds on some of the Classics Powerglide toys.
I can easily fix this issue myself by using various TF toy stickers I own. Those Takara Beastwars X-9 Ravage inner chest detailed stickers are what I desire for this. I could even put a small computer chip or memory chip thing behind the backdrop of this inner chest cavity. who knows maybe I can even look in stores or online for computer chips detailed stickers to place in the KFC UM inner white bare chest cavity that houses the matrix.
Wow, that's pretty big. Half the size of Fort Max? Damn. Now, if KFC retools this into a Powermaster Prime, I can have a comics-in-scale figure with my G1 Scorponok.

KFC UM is barely 13 inches tall in robot mode. I think the 1987 Scorponok toy was around 18 inches tall in robot mode.
