So a while back I got to work a bit on an upcoming Leader class toy version of Ultra Magnus from IDW’s More Than Meets The Eye. Since the toy has been revealed, I got permission from Hasbro to show off some of my art for it.
Just to be clear, the overall design of the toy was already done, based heavily on Nick Roche’s design for the book. What I was asked to do was to sketch up what the interior cockpit could look like within the confines of the space they had available for it. I worked with Hasbro to develop it, and they sent my art along to Takara-Tomy to use for the sculpt for the final product.
The cockpit for Minimus Ambus inside Ultra Magnus functions a bit different than James Roberts and Alex Milne worked out for MTMTE, but personally I think it’s pretty cool that Hasbro took inspiration from the comics and even went to the trouble of using the concept of Minimus “driving” Ambus at all to be pretty darn cool.
I was thrilled to work on this particular project.

Well, did MP Magnus have a driver? Legit question, because I don't feel like pulling up a review of him.

Awesome! I'm glad you finally found one! I know you're waiting for the DX9 kit (as am I) and the ReproLabels are awesome.

Had to also order a $7 Hero Mashers Jetfire. to save $5 on shipping fees and qualify for free shipping. As $50 orders before tax qualify for free shipping.
They are completely worth it. I used my trusty Exacto knife from my scale model days, I find that easier than tweezers in the tight areas. Just make sure you have good lighting to make sure they line up well-Kanrabat- wrote:I got my Repros for Megs too. Time to get to work!
