Yep, everything's playing out like I had predicted.

I was hoping they'd use his first toy model for the show rather than the Optimus remold.

That's, uh, quite a typo in the headline there. :lol:

And I'm sure most of us saw UM coming a mile away. Too bad it's not his unique first body.

Now that is the name of a show I could get into!

I knew from the day I started typing Beast Hunters so much for these news stories this day would come. Quite the Freudian Slip on my part

Nah, he's always going to be a different coloured version of Optimus. It's like he tried to be Optimus but it just didn't quite happen.

Can't wait for this season!

Bet Magnus will be temporarily made Prime like Jack was and use the Forge Fix-It Felix style to bang Optimus into a new body.

So he's the OP remold, basically? Lame. I wonder if cost-cutting had something to do with this. Oh well, I love my UM v1.0 figure.

Actually, I think this is the first time UM has appeared in a cartoon while being conspicuously Optimus-esque. In RiD and Animated he was totally unique, and in G1 the inner robot thing was never brought up.

True enough, I guess I should say toy wise he has never quite gotten to be Optimus.

I get the feeling the PRID toy's design came from the Binder, whereas the BH toy's design came straight from the show's designers, so it would make more sense for cartoon to use a design it created instead of one created by a different group.

At least he's not a White Prime

News Credits: 3 · by **Manterax Prime** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 1:49 pm

Well now we have official confirmation that it's Ultra Magnus.

This means I'm now going to have to get the BH Voyager.
