Nope, that would be Unite Warriors (G1) Bruticus.

No problem ... and I don't see how adding some detailing to the panels takes away from those who want "cartoon accuracy". I just don't want giant smooth panels. And I want the line to stay consistent. Stick to what they were doing with Masterpiece Grimlock, MP-10 Convoy, MP-12 Lambor, Wheeljack, etc and I'm good to go. Deviate from that and go with the more simpler animation look and I'm not a happy camper because I think "Masterpiece" should be more than replicating on screen looks. Maybe on a deluxe class figure, but on a $70 to $200+ figure it should have a little detail to the figure. I don't think I'm asking a lot.
To be fair to Ironhide, Hisao Nishimoto did that MP mold rather than Kobayashi.ScottyP wrote:Until Kobayashi lets his grip loosen on the line a bit (which isn't likely to happen anytime soon), you're not getting panel lines.

And yet MP-10 is constantly hailed as perfect and he is coated in molded detail, so I don't really get why people are freaking out over some of us wanting some more details in our 'collectors figures', sometimes too much 'less' amounts to nothing at all. I could have designed and printed MP IH in maya with only a few weeks messing around with the program, that doesn't say much for his overall smooth look. When the wheels have more detailing than half of the entire figure (minus said wheels) there's an issue. The hoses on the side of his legs aren't smooth, nor are the wheels; TT clearly went out of their way to add details, but not where they truly mattered. I'm not asking for a ton of detailing, just enough to break up the design.

I'd like to see a Hauler as well. Despite the lack of screen time, he's one of those cult-like characters where 'less is more'. I liken it to Boba Fett or Vader before the prequels.
On that note... wow. I didn't realize how long it had been since I visited this site. I joined way back while I was in college!

Would be a nice color to make the figure pop against the others on any given shelf, especially if it is more vivid than muted

Great point. The Generation 1 Autobots are generally light in the cool colors department -- blues, greens and purples. Tracks, Hoist, Punch/Counterpunch, Freeway just to name a few. But a bright neon green Autobot in a traditionally Decepticon color scheme? That's a welcome addition in my book.

I can't speak for anything other than how he looks to me, he looks like he's lacking something; like some painted details, he's just acres and acres of plain red and blue plastic, if they had taken *some* liscense with his deco, he probably would've looked amazing. Just look at the difference between these two magnus', the addition of a fourth plastic color and some colorful flairs, really helps out his overall look.

But, those are the colors found in G1 Ultra Magnus, whether we're talking about the toy or the cartoon character model. He wouldn't be a "Masterpiece" of G1 Ultra Magnus if they threw in another contrasting plastic color just because.
