Here is FOC Ultra Magnus!! Starting that I wanted a true G1 feel for him. He is a white repaint of FOC Optimus prime. However he is armed with an anti-air cannons which he can operation. The real use for the cannons is that it can transforms into Ultra Magnus armor. His armor heavily resembles his G1 armor. Magnus sits in the center of his armor. The armor is completely articulated and able to hold awesome poses. Magnus is truly armed, he has 2 huge cannons that be attached on his arms, 2 missile pods on his shoulders. Finishing up he is painted into g1 colors but still have the fall of cybertron feel to it.

Seconded!

(On a side note, I found it amusing that as soon as Hasbro decides to release Magnus not as albino OP, you painted OP white.

'cause Ultra Magnus is a goddamn white cab that combines with his goddamn trailer.

Someone needs to learn Hasbro to respect that.

Maybe Ultra Magnus himself?

I have to admit that I really would like to see something like this custom realised by Hasbro.

The mold for Prime Ultra Magnus is nice, but definitely takes after Animated in the non-combining aspect.

Very pretty! I think the choice of hands lets him down, something with more articulation would have been nice but over all, a very nice job!

I thought I had already asked this, but apparently not:

Is the armour built entirely from scratch? Or did you use a base of sorts (and if so, what did you use)?

looks like a lot of pieces from armada overload.

Definitely. I still feel Ultra Magnus was intended as the initial release but that was a time when there were so many leaks going on (and that was a major one) that Hasbro chucked a wobbly and changed him to Overload just to annoy the fans.

And then make us wait for the obligatory UM repaint in Energon.
