You gotta tell me more, why do you find it better than the MP? I am all ears.
Well, first off the Masterpiece is so darned expensive that poor college kids like me cannot afford him. I bought this Magnus for $35 off Hasbrot toy shop in June. Second, his aesthetic is so much more stylized and just sleek looking. the MP captures the G1 style great, but to be this Magnus is more sleek, more dynamic in robot mode and actually looks like he can move fast and hit hard. His Vehicle mode is a thing of beauty considering he has the fully functioning truck and trailer style that allows for legends and deluxes to use him, which is pretty sweet. the cab is also beautiful and just captures the look of a badass right away before the missile pods even roll into view.
His color scheme, despite any paint operations complaints, also captures several different versions of him quite well. the fact that he does not have a white prime at his center is also a big plus for me considering I like Magnus as more than an armored Optimus. To replace that however, they did such an awesome thing and made Minimus (and A3) and made a cockpit so it is legitimate armor that can also qualify as its own character pilot not withstanding.
The weapons are a thing of beauty too. Those guns are spectacular and the missile pods look intimidating. the fact that they all combine into a massive missile hammer of murder/death/justice/badassery just makes thing even more special considering that has become his trademark.
And while he is light, i like the lightness of figures at times (especially jets) since it makes them more dynamic and not as heavy a toy to handle, just as long as the integrity is good, which to me the Magnus plastic is very good and I feel myself transforming this guy over and over again.
PS: Screamer, I'm glad you feel the same way. He hit several of my points already, especially the part about the inner kid
PSS: Magnus is sitting right here on my dorm desk as I type this, giving me that Magnus stare...
