Probably the same thing they thought when they gave him one in 1985. And again in 2006. It's just a part of the line for now. Deal with it, bros.

I've never liked rubsigns either. As headsortails said, you could always remove the rubsign, like I'm planning to do, and put some Reprolabels on him (who knows, maybe they'll even make an upgrade set for him).

I am the Ultra Magnus obsessed one. I can't stress it enough that we need an Ultra Magnus now, and even though I want a new mold, this mold would be perfect in my opinion.

Hey Hasbro, if you want something that won't shelfwarm like hell, why not go for...ULTRA MAGNUS?
You know you want to Hasbro.
Just do it.

With the extra room in the engine hood, they could have stored pieces of guns in there.
An Ultra Magnus repaint would be awesome, and I would pick that up for sure. I don't dig city commander Ultra Magnus... just a lil too clunky.

I would certainly pick this up as Magnus or Nemesis/RID Scourge. But I have to ask, are you CRAZY? City Commander is freakin sweet.

I don't understand the extreme awesomeness of the city commander either. I think it looks clunky too. I like my classics Magnus the way he is. I want a G1 Ultra Magnus that really looks like G1 Ultra Magnus, and I still await that very figure.

I know what it is; it's the fact that the forearm is way larger than the shoulder, and then has this huge shoulder guard, and the similar effect for the legs; Huge shins and way smaller thighs(just so that you have an idea of why I don't like it that much). Yea, If they made this into an ultra magnus, i'd like it, but i'd basically be settling until its eventually, in some 1000 years, done properly.

Nice. My only gripe is that the windshield and colors in bot mode remind me much more of Energon Prime than G2 Laser Prime.

I wouldn't be satisfied with this mold for Ultra Magnus. He desperately needs an all new mold. However, I can't WAIT for a Nemesis/Scourge repaint. I'm all for that one!

Man, this figure rocks.

It's inevitable that there'll be a third party tanker trailer for this toy.

It's a decent enough figure, but man, I'm absolutely sick and tired and fed up with that ugly gray/white plastic. That is NOT a proper color, but rather areas where Hasbro cut corners on paint apps. You see this constantly in all lines of TFs nowdays. We, the American fans and kids are not worth a few spritzes of silver paint despite what we pay for the figures.

This figure also demands to be in Voyager scale so he's at least the same size and sturdiness of the Voyager Classics Prime. I have the impression that he's going to be fiddly like Classics Galvatron.

Actually, after reading your comment his hands, i was thinking of Blurr, cause he has ball jointed hands like G2 Prime and Primes hands are blue, so not much painting would be required.

WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! WANT! i love this guy! the sword is bad ass! now i need a stand in for G2 megs ^_^

I know this is an old topic, but I just got to take this out of my chest. I bought RTS Optimus Prime 6 hours ago and I´ve transformed it only twice and... PIECE OF JUNK BROKED AT THE HIP!
It´s not the first toy that I´ve owned that brakes, but it is the first Transformer... I´m so angry!

Sorry for being annoying, but do you guys think I should get another RTS Prime? Is it worth it? will it brake again? What do you think?

I was thinking of getting this, too.
I'm going for a sword wielding shelf, and currently have Generations Drift and HFTD Banzaitron..

..do you think he fits the bill?

I would definitely think so... If I wasn't so choosy about having one figure per character (and already filled my prime slot with WFC prime), G2 prime is what i'd get, easily. So much character in the figure.
