Well this is one of those bashes I really don't have the time (or the skill really) to do. The idea actually started a while back when I got the magnus vs skywarp 2-pack. Started messing around with it again more recently.
Didn't realize it till I had mine in hand, how heavily armoured the prime mold actually looks. No wonder trying to fit armour over him makes him look stocky. Looking for ways to even out the proportions, I ended up flipping him upside down.

It'd end up being more RID-esque with trailer integrating into bot mode. (Half wondered if an RID magnus trailer might be modded to work) Starting digging through my lego bin to see what I could put together, but I just couldn't visualize a starting point. Ended up just using some exoforce parts to guage the overall scale.

Longer thighs and shorter forearms would be in order. Something to cover his chest and shoulders too probably.
Would work pretty well for a combiner transformed this way too. Used the fists as the leg connectors and they hold a technic peg perfectly.

I've got other plans for a repaint, so I likely won't go much further with this. But the ideas out there if anyone wants to try anything with it.
