Though, you know who might have worked better in Takara's favor for being a bearded, elderly, cartoon Autobot who IS small? Governor Raikuru.
Sure, he equally has jack to do with Magnus, but it's someone who hasn't gotten a toy yet and from a cartoon Takara's audience is familiar with.
He's a Micromaster from Transformers: Victory.mooncake623 wrote:Wow what epsoide is that from? Don't remember him at all.

Okay, but... what that to do with Magnus, here?Mkall wrote:With Uncle Sam paying me back a bit, I figured I'd get a couple Damashii Gundams that I've have my eye on for a while.

And technically Tallgeese III isn't a Gundam...
Optimizzy wrote:sigh. So Japanese fans wont see a Minimus Ambus release? They do have the comics over there I think, so I;m sure there will be some who would have been excited for this. Why even a repaint into Alpha Trion? It makes no sense. It's almost like the designers had no idea what Hasbro was going for and tried to "fix" it.

Probably to avoid introducing (too many) new characters in a G1-centered line. We already had Windblade, and Minimus Ambus would be practically unknown to the Japanese except for the ones who can read the English comics. Since he has facial hair, Alpha Trin (see my previous post) was a logical choice, especially concerning his connection to Dion and what possibly became of him

If Takara were that concerned about keeping things as "G1" as possible, then why detail the Magnus figure as the IDW version and not try to make it more faithful to the original cartoon, as is their usual style? Repainting Minimus Ambus was just a WEIRD move, any way you slice it.
