We've all seen Ultra Magnus on the show Transformers Prime recently, and his design is absolutely amazing! Then we see his Beast Hunter figure, and the shades are kind of off, and some things are not what we expected it to be. But, I love how they added the Forge of Solus Prime with him.

But, if we could somehow get Hasbro to make another First Edition Voyager class figure, It could be Ultra Magnus! With show accurate colors and weapons. Wouldn't this be a good idea? What do you all think?

Except that it's not really first edition anymore...

Unless you mean using the FE prime mold? 1st Edition is dead. It was literally meant as 1st edition. I remember reading that the molds were scrapped in favor of the RID ones, but they wanted to get it out somehow...

If you mean remake a "better" magnus, It's not gonna happen within this line.

I don't think the transformation would have worked for Ultra Magnus anyway. The shoulders end up under the hood in vehicle mode and there's no extra space for Ultra Magnus' new shoulder pads.

I guess you're right. First Edition molds are kinda old now. I guess we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for people who customize the Beast Hunters mold, or just get the original figure.

The Beast Hunter Ultra Magnus is perfectly fine.

Yea. You're right. I don't specifically mean using the FE Prime Mold, but maybe a different kind?

If the new figure is aiming for show accurate, they can have my money regardless 1st Edition or new mold

Definitely!!!!

Commander Class Ultra Magnus

Even though we are unlikely to get a 5th one, and I'm okay with the BH Voyager, but a part of me would be very happy if TTomy/Hasbro can us a show accurate Cyberverse with the bonus space ship just like WJ/Star Hammer .

Hey, you're right about that! His ship does look cool in the show.

Commander Class Ultra Magnus
Voyager Class Ultra Magnus

The new Voyager Class Beasthunters Ultra Magnus
And the Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus

I really doubt we'll see another mold for him in a while. I think at this point there's something for everyone that's looking for an Ultras Magnus.

Huge and gimmicky, voyager sized an poseable, Small and cute, Original Mold etc...

I've seen the Platinum Edition, not very appealing to me. The Commander Class Magnus kind of ticks me off because on the RiD Voyager, it's lacking massive amounts of paint apps. But then you look at the Cyberverse Magnus and HE HAS silver smokestacks and all that good looking paint job. The RiD looks good, really want the Beast Hunters Voyager.

...First Edition Ultra Magnus?? That would've been the PRID mold. The BH mold we have now is fine. Should it be show accurate? Sure. But, it's not, so oh well.

I was specifically referring to an Ultra Magnus figure in the Transformers Prime "First Edition" figure line, like with Optimus, Bulkhead, Arcee, Bumblebee, etc.

The BH is good, I just wish its shades of color would be like the RiD's.

Is there a transformers Go! version with show accurate colors? if not they should get on that.
