Blue Ultra Magnus/Prime?
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:34 pmHi Guys,
Very new here so forgive me if I make any mistakes or say anything stupid but I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer too.
I've been a Transformers fan all my life and although very passionate about them (I still shed a tear when Prime dies which my friends find hilarious!
) I've never been what you might call religious. So I know most about what was sold/available in the UK but being very young not overly interested in what happened overseas with Transformers.
Anyway, my question in this, a few years back a "loose" friend of mine was passing a charity shop on the way to meet me on my birthday and happened to notice a Transformer in the window, being only a few pence he snapped it up to give to me at the pub for said occasion. I immediately recognized the model but not the color scheme so I assumed it was a cheap KO and what with the condition being very poor and missing almost everything I didn't pay it much attention.
Another friend of mine however says he looked it up online and says it's actually quite a rare model called "Cyclone" but I can't find anything on the net to back it up. To describe it, it's the Ultra Magnus model judging by what’s left of the trailer (different color scheme I think, it's in a cupboard rarely looked at) and the main truck is the same model as Prime (G1 rubber wheels and all) but is almost entirely blue. What’s left of the front bumper sticker says "***LONE" on it backing my friends theory but as I said I cant find anything to do with it.
I would be deeply grateful if anyone could shed any light on the matter.
If my shoddy description doesn't help I'll try and take a pic or two tomorrow to see if that helps.
Many thanks (and inb4 tl;dr
)
