Motto: "My anaconda don't..."
That Ultra Magnus is why I've stopped collecting Botshots. They don't put any effort into making them clever or even sane homages. It looks exactly like Optimus Prime. Similarly is this the 9000th Bumblebee? How about Smokescreen, Blustreak, Brawn, Gears. Just anything that makes sense. But instead we keep getting the same characters over and over again.
On another point, the photographers seriously got the Jump Shot transformation wrong. In general these sets look pretty terrible.

I stopped collecting Bot Shots after the style change. The spin gimmick is exspecially troublesome with shelf space.

I also missed the Skywarp wave, and now Starscream and Thundercracker are brother-less :sad:

I don't get it. All they had to do was take an existing Optimus Prime and recolor him to be Ultra Magnus. Simple. Instead, they named him Ultra Magnus, but he is still Prime colors???

Optimus had red, white and blue and Magnus has blue, white and red. :-B

I find it surprising they're using the Cybertron Optimus one for him, probably because he had the mouth exposed.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

I don't see Ultra Magnus in that one at all. It just looks like a lighter blue on Prime.
I stopped with the Botshots after I found the Skywarp and clear Shockwave from the original style. I've even passed on the Sunstorm a number of times because the cuteness allure is just totally gone for me. I do like the Predacon ones, but I really doubt I'll be buying any of them.
