There's a blue tab on the shaft of the laser that we can see in open and closed positions. Also the pictures show the hammer engaged without the spring removed. I for one am quite happy

That has me worried. The only reason they didn't release Breakdown was because of the AM ports. Hasbro will probably use that as an excuse to not release it. I can hear it now "derrr da wapins don't has no spreengs init sos we cants releese it."

Magnus has definitely grown on me, but Thundertron remains my goal for the Prime line.
Dead End will join his crew.

As an Ultra Magnus fan I have to say i'm very disappointed in this figure. Far too much blue for my liking.

And Thundertron? Yeah ... always wanted a transforming Zoid Liger.

No. Hasbro never gave a specific reason, just that BD wasn't "made to the same standards" and is in a "no-man's-land" cost-wise.
Considering every other AM figure is one Hasbro CAN sell just with added ports makes it incredibly unlikely those are all that prevent Hasbro from selling BD.

And you can see the spring in the hammer.

As long as they don't have a calf swivel we should be fine.

Thundertron is really cool, but I wish his colours were darker. He looks a little too heroic in those bright colours to me. Magnus looks good to, even if his truck mode is uninspiring and his head makes me think of Sauron.

I hope to get them both, despite the MechTech weapons. :BANG_HEAD:

Yes, they did. Evil is right, it was because getting the AM ports removed would cost too much. Same thing with Unicron and (I know it makes no sense here, but...) Ironhide.

"Doh, ports no match with us mechy techstuff line so we no import, buy our bumblebeez you idot fanz. So what are we going to do about this Avengers line?"

Magnus is looking the way I'm expecting him to be, but lets find out about the AM release.

Thundertron, well he can't be that bad either.

So far in my place, the stores either have just BB's, WJ's, CJ's, a few OP's and one or two of a different character, or the shelves have a right amount of characters (still can't find Airachnid, Vehicon, and I'll start to look for Dreadwing, Kup, and Rumble).

I like the colours fine, but definitely know what you mean about them appearing heroic (I'll likely be renaming my Thundertron Leoric after the Visionaries guy, so thats actually a plus for me) but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Razorclaw homage repaint and I think in those sort of colours he'd be excellent, very evil pirate Cervantes (from Soul Calibur).

He actually reminds me more of Cybertron Snarl:

In case you're wondering, there is such thing called a maned wolf :P

Does no one else in this entire fandom see this?

[/sarcasm]

Anyway, all joking aside, what's the fear with balljoint hips, anyway?

I'm liking Magnus. The Hammer could fold up better, but its the first weapon I like. Meg's is okay, I guess.

What wings? You mean those big spikes on his hind leg thighs? wouldn't it make more sense for wings to protrude from behind the shoulders instead?

They don't work very well when they have to support the weight of a voyager. My PRiD Optimus and Megatron can stand just fine, but if I try to put them in any kind of action pose their legs will slide apart.

Combined with a calf swivel and the legs become very hard to line up to transform properly. HFTD Laser Prime for example

See, that's a problem I'd like to have. I'd love to have a floppy Laser Prime, it means I have a Laser Prime at all... Oh well, bring me Scourge.

Well, yes, they are more of a skirt I guess, but "wing" is a reletive term. Rear spoilers on Dragsters are sometimes referred to as a wing, as well, though they aren't there for flying. It would be much better if they could pivot up and flop over, even like the wing of an F14 folded back, but it seemed a better thing to call it than a skirt or a tribal dress. I still think he's the closest thing we'll get to a Vicorty Leo figure though,and he looks closer to him than does the Cyb Leobreaker mold. Now, if only someone could look like Saber... Or give the E Wingsaber actual legs...

It's more supposed to be the tails of a long pirate's coat than a skirt.

Though, most are saying his beast mode looks like a Liger from Zoids. Like a Liger Zero Scheider colored blue and white.

With all those balljoints and heavy weapons, combined with the overall quality these days I see a floppy, floppy future for these.

Pass-a-roni!

Total pass on Thundertron, an awesome name for a lame-ass looking TF. They should change his name to "Old-Man-Winter" with that mug. So with all the blue paint found on UM especially in bot mode he screams to be made an example of by our friends at "Reprolabels". I think even for a character (correct if wrong) that's not in the show they can no doubt help this TF fav look much better. As usual I'm very curious to see what the Takara version will look like with variations and stickers to apply. :VEHI:
