Well, that is the reissue of G1 Ultra Magnus from 1986. However, I don't recall him coming with Hot Rod (whom is the sports car in the carrier). Did you find this at a store or on eBay?

Hot Rod appears to be twist-tied onto Magnus's trailer, but I can't find any information about a Commemorative Ultra Magnus that came with Hot Rod like that. In fact the only bundle I know of is the Insecticon 3-pack. So what you've got is someone who bought Magnus, strapped Hot Rod in, and returned him to the store. I can't fathom why anybody would do this, but there you go.

I'm also very curious. Has the factory tape been altered in anyway that would suggest tampering?

I agree, Hasbro has never been that cheap (in a good way) with reissues. Trust me, the seller's pulling your leg.

That and the box would have "value bundle" or similar all over the packaging like the Black Friday specials.

I checked the tape on the sides and it looked authentic, but I know
It wasn't. I tried convincing him it was fake but he thought I was trying
To scam him. I have both in their respective boxes and I was only trying
To help him oh well :-?
