The Energon Pub

I was wondering if this figure is worth picking up it seem everyone wants one but all the reviews I have seen on you tube say it sucks. What do you guys think worth ebay price or not?

I'm assuming you are talking about the G1 titanium Ultra Magnus as opposed to the titanium war within version?

I've never had a problem with mine and I think its great. Some people really don't like him though.
I don't know what the going rate is on Ebay these days but don't overpay for one.
Mine was a pre-order a long time back so I paid right around retail.

I agree that they're definetly getting too pricey online(thankfully got mine in store for 20$) but as far as im concerned its a very nice figure. Definetly looks better in robot mode IMO considering its missing a real trailer etc. but whatever. You'll like it especially if your a UM fan im sure just dont pay too much!

So, has he been released in stores? I have never seen him in my area.

Kind of.

Let me put it this way, I find everything on store shelves. Titanium UM is one of like 2 figures I have not ever found in a brick store. He was released, but I think by the time he was up for order, major retailers had phased out Titaniums.

I bought mine on BBTS with a $5 mark up. I was cool with that.

If your a fan of magnus, and always wanted a Magnus figure that transformed like he did in the carttons, and wasnt a primeclone that wore armor, then get it. BUT keep in mind its not a terribly accurate figure. the truch cab is extra wide and is locked to the trailer . His head is way off. I'm only a marginal Magnus fan and preordered him Fallen and megs from BBTS some time ago. But i would not pay inflated ebay prices for him

I really like the G1 Magnus. Lots of people always complain about the Titaniums, but Magnus along with Soundwave are two of my favorites. Any problems with the figure are largely subjective.

He's worth it. Awesome toy and for me the high point of the Titaniums line. 99% of the haters have never actually seen it and those that have it and don't think it rocks were expecting God it toy form from half of what you hear. The only fault I have with the toy itself is that the shoulder missles are made to be put on upside down. And mine came direct from Hasbro and was packged without the gun. Strangely the World's Smallest Magnus I imported from Japan was unarmed as well so maybe HasTak thinks he's too badass to need firearms!
