The last G1 Ultra Magnus toy that turned from car carrier into red, white, and blue robot (other than the Masterpiece) was the 6" Titanium figure from 2007. That figure was a floppy mess, and the Masterpiece is in a different league of price, intricacy, and aesthetics. There have been a few White Optimus Primes but this is the first time there has been a proper Classics-style Ultra Magnus.
I didn't say G1 Magnus... I said Magnus in general who is a G1 character. And exactly, there's the Masterpiece version, so I'm not sure why this was needed. Utter waste... that leader slot could have been given to somebody else who really could have used the update, like Fortress Maximus or something. Would have rather had that than another Magnus

What else is Hasbro supposed to do for the Combiner Wars line? All of their inspiration is coming from the IDW comics. What do you want them do, make Safeguard from Animated?
Not do an entire line dedicated to combiners. Do a subline and keep Generations partially open to doing more updated classics figures. Also, Magnus never use to be a combiner, so they could do any character and turn it into a combiner. IDW is more than likely taking Hasbro's concepts and using them, not the other way around.
And my choice for combiners? Magnaboss, Tripredicus, Ruination, Landfill, Piranacon, and Predaking.
