Okay, perhaps I should have been more clear, sorry. It DOES look good. Like, sitting there, in a decent pose (provided you cover up those struts), it looks good. Again, on paper.
But I've had it in hand I'm utterly disappointed. In person I just don't like it, which is a shame, because originally I thought UM would be the standout from his wave. As it stands, I LOVE Thundertron, and PRiD UM is an easy pass. Also, that back kibble bugs me the way it sits above-his-shoulders enough to be in the way of the head and lightpiping but not-high-enough to be Huffer-esque. It just looks like it's in the way.

Because that's not what Ultra Magnus looks like in Prime's official canon. He has an entirely different model from PRiD.

That model is bad and it should feel bad. I much prefer the look of the Cyberverse and RID toys.

I quite like that model.

Since these are opinions, technically neither those of you who like it more than RID nor those like me who prefer RID more are right or wrong.....but that's a boring answer. We must decide who gets to be right with a duel! I propose a children's card game.

Because the PRiD mold is awful? I certainly won't miss it, what with the absurdly TINY shoulder struts, obnoxious back kibble, and weirdly proportioned legs.
