I might bite for that much. I mean, it is pretty cool that they made any kind of Rung in the first place.

I'm actually VERY glad that I bought him.
The crisp white and blue color scheme looks beautiful in person.
And he comes with energon cubes.

I already got it.....son of a....

Yup, sounds like walmart to me

Is this price available online?

I assume he's his own case, but is Magnus not consistently shipping with the other Netflix exclusives? I've been to at least 5 WalMart's this week as part of Scrapface-Trilogy-Quest, and have yet to see him at all, plus is there even a spot for his box in that cardboard TF display that half the stores have?

It's possible that other collectors got them all first, but given his price and the underwhelming reaction to his deco, I'd be surprised.

And yes, at THAT price, I'm actually considering getting one now.

Reminder: The Netflix line now has its own thread, upon revelation of ER molds being used.

Netflix Ultra Magnus should be in regular TF aisle, the endcap has no space for him. Keep an eye out for the shelf tags labeled E9494 in the lower left corner.

My Wal-Mart had him at full price yesterday. If he goes clearance, I'll snag me a second Magnus

I had to go to 5 walmarts, but I finally found one with the pallet display. Picked up Hotwing. So now....

I am 20 for 20 on Battle Masters so far...



So...I heard you were disappointed with TR Fort Max's lack of guns...

Initially this Walmart Exclusive was an easy pass for me, but when I saw him at $35 yesterday at a Walmart an hour away from my home I considered then talked myself out of it. I instead grabbed the Netflix Series Megs. Today I visit my local Walmart and see two on the shelf for the clearance price and gave in. That is a really good price after all.

It looks like he also comes with a new accessory? Is that a hammer?

That's the hammer that came with TF: Prime Ultra Magnus from back in 2012.

Specifically the Robots in Disguise one:

Is the Siege one worth having? No Earthrise or later one in the pipeline?

Thank you, both of you!

Sorry for the late reply, yea, I keep alot of my old weapons.
The Netflix version is SO worth it. Even if you have the original siege. I mixed some of the old with the new.
Netflix Megatron is sexy too

Unless you are holding out for a true g1 trailer which can function (hold cars, open rear doors and lower access ramp) he's worth picking up.
The third party leg replacements solve the front cab mess and the height issues tho I still prefer the size of cw ultramagnus.I would have liked some flat surfaces on siege version so that he could have faction symbols where they should be but I've not been tempted to file anything down and damage the figure for them.

I bought him last week for full prince. He's actually been pretty rare in my area so I doubt I'll see the clearance price anytime soon. I think I still have the receipt though, so If I do find him I'll pick him up and return him with the previous receipt.

I wanted a second Ultra Magnus just to show off the small robot form, so I was able to do that with the NetFlix version. I like the little robot mode.

I do think they didn't need to waste the money on the Playdoh in the package though. Shouldn't just given us more energon cubes or Blast effects.

I really want to see them release a pack of blast effects, even if it's just part of the selects line.

I just don't care for any of this Netflix exclusive stuff. It's slight redecos of figures we just got off the shelves. So instead of the new Earthrise figures, we have Walmarts clogged with this stuff.

Mirage, Megatron, and Lionizer are more than "slight"

Perfectly said. I wanted to say something, but I just felt that person wanted to make himself believe what he quoted. They are far more then repaints.
Especially if the series is deemed to be good.

I have to agree here... And then you got Scrapface who's absolutely stunning (if short packed) and Hotlink. I'll probably cave and open up the Netflix ones and compare to my originals. The paint work on all of them should be appreciated... but I also understand the frustration of "but we just got these". As for Netflix vs Earthrise... they *shouldn't* be competing for shelf space @ Walmart (we'll see how that shakes out though).

Also... it seems like both Siege and Earthrise have both gotten off into the weeds lately (forum wise).

Also... did we have much talk of the Japanese Exclusive Nemesis Prime repaint from Siege Optimus (trying to get things back on track)? I managed to snag him from TFSource. Was... surprised that he came in "regular" packaging.

Honestly, the most frustrating thing for me is that Netflix Megatron is so much better than Siege Megatron because of paint, as well as accesories. If I'd known that we'd get this, I would have waited to get this version. If it goes on sale, I still might, but it's still a tad frustrating. Though, I would have thought the point of making a cartoon for Siege was to sell the original figures, not repaints of those figures. But hey, at least Scrapface, Mirage, and Hotlink got cool looking figures, so there's that

Yes the netflix version Megatron is SOOOO much better because of the paint and its so sweet... and honestly, I don't understand people's gripes about these redecos. I mean, no ones telling you to buy every version, i like the fact that there are so many options.

The main issue people have with them is that most of them are barely-changed versions of figures that were just on the toy shelves a few months ago that are now taking up much of the space that could instead be taken by the all new figures from Earthrise, which for many are currently harder to find at Walmarts than the Netflix figures.

That is exactly what I mean, without those extra figures taking up space i would NEVER be able to find any figures. Let me tell you what I mean... im in my early 40's, I dont have time to stay out in front of stores waiting for the doors to open to get first crack at the shelves being stocked... sometimes those same figures that take up space, the new shipment will be in the back and I will have a rep (from the store) scan the price label and if there are more numbers of figures then on the floor, then I have the rep go to the back stock room and they bring the stock out for me to see and majority of the time, they are what I'm looking for.
I bought cliff jumper, wheel jack, hoist and iron works right from the inventory box at the Sametime on the same day at around 4pm. So what I'm saying is, I am glad we have all of these variations because if we didn't, there would be MAD collectors buying multiples of the same figure and sale them for high prices online... and I usually only order online for hard to track down figures and 3rd party. So thank GOD for these variations. They DEFINITELY work out for me.
