One word "Research"

I would say something about that answer, but I'd rather not.

What you're basically asking is where you can still buy those Third Party products. I say "Third Party" because they are not officially licensed, sponsored or even supported by Hasbro or TakaraTomy. If you look around our site sponsors you may find a few here and there, and some even take preorders. To help you a bit I can give you names to look for:

Ultra Magnus armor: City Commander by FansProject
Bruticus add-ons: Crossfire by FansProject
Constructicons: the TFClub version called Hercules, the MakeToy version is called "Build"

As for replacement decals, look no further than Reprolabels.com

For further news on these items, I'd suggest visiting the KO and Third Party toys forums.

Erm...i didnt mean anything nasty by that i just ment do a bit research first if you cant find it on your own then by all means ask but just typing transformers reprolables in google it comes up first on the list.

I cant say anything the amount of stuff i have asked but ive always did a bit diggen around first.

unknown at this time

and where do I place my order?

I'm sure BBTS, Robotkingdom, Toy-Arena and all the others will be carrying them when they become available

*Are the combaticons/Bruticus figs still available to buy from the company that

'fraid not, they're pretty much sold out all over the place. I'd suggest haunting the buy/sell/trade forums for some to show up at a decent price.

EDIT: BBTS Still has some available here!

*Is the only toon accurate magnus a white convoy prime with add ons? Where do I buy
the add ons?

That would be City Commander, by Fansproject. But sadly he too is out of production and has gotten stupid expensive

Happy to help!

For a cartoon accurate(ish) G1 Magnus you could try the 6" Titanium version that came out a few years ago. That one converts from cab/trailer to robot mode and doesn't feature a white Prime (the cab is an integral part of the toy and doesn't separate from the trailer). It is more than a bit on the small side though.

RiD Magnus and Animated Magnus are also 'toon accurate to their respective cartoons and don't feature white Prime components but I'm guessing that you were asking more after a G1 Magnus.

Great responses! Thanks to you guys. I am realy starting to like this sight. I can always count on posters like jelze gold rabit, mkall and tekka to send this collector newbie down the right path without making me feel silly for having not already acquired the information I was seeking. Ofcourse all the help from other posters that have taken their time to answer what Im sure have been some pretty "duh" questions for avid collectors is greatly aprieciated as well. Thanks to you all.
Ive been here long enough now to realize that posters who answer with responses like "Do some research" are the vast minority here. If that were the way of it, you could wipe out damn near every thread on this sight and answer all questions with "Go Do some research"
Luckily for me (and this is the very reason I joined this sight) there are plenty of posters who show a general sense of comradery respect and willingness to help out with any needs a fellow member may have. I even recieved a response to my expressed need of a classic voyager prime and megs a meere day after I typed it out.
It is to those posters that I say thank you for making my travels and interactions through these forums both before and since becoming a member enjoyable. I look forward to learning all I can of the transformers mythos as I love the brand.
Perhaps one day I may also be as helpful to this sight as all of you are.

For the Bruticus figs, are you only looking for the add-on upgrade figs and parts or are you looking for the entire thing? Because the base set the add-on is meant for might be even more difficult to find at this point for a decent price. ToyArena.com has the add-ons, but the price has gone up. And be careful as the add-on figs have been repainted BUT those don't come with the combiner parts.

LOL!!! Yeah I need the whole damn thing. How exactly does this work now? There are a set of combaticons that make bruticus, but they need an add on pack which must be bought seperatly in order to look toon accurate. Kind of like the magnus commander add on pieces. Is that correct?

Okay, so Hasbro put out a 5 pack combiner called Bruticus Maximus, which was a repaint of an Energon combiner by the same name. He was briefly released in the Universe (Classics 2.0) line, though that may have been the import version only, then repackaged as a Target exclusive shortly after in the ROTF line. On its own it was a mediocre figure that consisted of a couple duplicate molds for the limbs, two tanks and two helicopters. A gallery of that fig on its own can be found here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... imus/2244/ FansProject came along and created two new molds to get rid of the duplicate limbs and included proper hands and feet as well as a better head and various other parts to take him from mediocre to friggin' awesome. So the end result is 3/5 Hasbro figs and 2/5 FansProject figures...along with all the upgrade parts and accessories. And that gallery, of which you've obviously seen the end result as you're asking about it, can be found here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... icus/2099/

Hope that was easy enough to follow and was of help...

Killer! Thank you Kibble. I really aprieciate that you took the time to include links for me as well. I truly aprieciate the help. Take care pal.
