There really is no "in general"...He has different roles in different continuities...TFA has really nothing to do with G1 (despite some missleading insinuations)...

In TFA, Ultra Magnus is a High Commander of the Autobot army and Optimus Prime is simply the leader of a small maintenance team...

In G1, Optimus Prime was the overall leader of the Autobots and Ultra Magnus was the Commander of Autobot City...

Don't be confused...They are just two different versions of a character with the same name...

Ultra Magnus is weak!

Don't start on Ultra Magnus, he can't deal with that.

Heeheeheehee!

I asked this same question—quite a while ago actually. Some of the responses in this thread really helped me understand what makes UM who he is. Hope this helps.

At least not right now!

Ha Ha

Don't forget RiD Ultra Magnus, who was a lot of things: Optimus' brother, a rogue Autobot (at first), a jerk, a deux ex machina, and a magic mushroom for Prime.

Don't forget Armada/Energon Ultra Magnus, A.K.A. Brickimus-Maximus!

Armada Ultra Magnus was really Overload, who had no personality whatsoever.

Energon Ultra Magnus was just added to help flesh out the toyline and made zero fictional appearances, nor did he have a bio either.

"Well I'm be a monkey's bare-assed uncle" <- Agent Flemming ATF from Beavis & Butthead Do America a.k.a. Robert Stack a.k.a. Utra Magnus so it's as if Magnus said it

What IS Ultra Magnus you ask......Yes i wonder.... But sometime I also wonder if the real question should be, WHO?...Who is Ultra Magnus? hmmm You must look inside his head and learn who the REAL Ultra Magnus is!.......And only then...will you have your answer....


yeeeeaah.
