Hasbro has shown UM gun to be white. Does this mean that Takara is going to do things differently now? One thing I like about Firedrive over the Legends Targetmasters, proper pegs in the forearms to hold the arms in place.

I am very on the fence with that Prime. I dont like the aesthetic or the proportions, but I do like the Peg Holes. I want eht peg holes. I am back to being excited for Magnus, though. I wish/hope we can store smaller vehicles i the trailer.

Just Cog for definite, Maybe Magnus and the micromasters. Fire-Drive looks nice so if he is cheap then he will be a cheerful purchase. I was almost tempted on Prime but I'm currently back to not bothering with him.

That Magnus looks great. My only issue is that the smaller Magnus is a bit too white (grey legs like BCOP would have been nice, but that's a minor issue. Cog is still a must buy as well, and Prime is a maybe.

I don't like the dirt on these figures. I got some 91% proof and paint ready to clean up Ultra Magnus and Sideswipe. Love the new alt-mode on Magnus. I always felt he should have had a futuristic form like the other '86 movie bots.

You know, with a new trailer and a slight retooling, Ultra Magnus could become Nova Prime :-? Though it certainly wouldn't happen in this trilogy.

I'm pretty disappinted to see that Takara's version have the same weathered paint jobs as the Hasbro's. One of the previous magazine reveals gave me a sliver of hope, but it looks like that was bunk.

That's what I want to do as well :) if the six gun rumour is true then we should have lots of options open to us to create walking machines of pure death.

hmm..nice to see stock photos...I think I'll only be getting the Magnus and the Delorean (Swindler). I don't know why Magnus has been treated differently. Minimus Ambus was a cool concept but could have been done with another character. I've always preferred my Magnus to be a white version of Prime. Since that original Prime design is neat but not necessarily the best character.

Have we ever seen a white prime Magnus featured in any animation? I know comics had Dreamwave, and WFC/FOC had the chassis idea. That it's a mold and they share the same chassis. But that's about it? You could say TFP had that, but it wasn't white repaint.

Looks like Magnus has a wrist Swivel.

If I get this Magnus he'll be the only Magnus I'd keep. Has enough g1 cues and is a modern official one. The FOC one had red eyes with I hated and never got.
I have a bad habit of not replying on time....you've been warned

These are some disappointing reveals. My enthusiasm for the line is significantly decreased.

The "weathering" looks like an amateur's first take at customizing where even their screw ups are ok because it's "damage."

Probably Hasbro will also be going with red. What we've seen so far has been a silver gun, not white, which didn't make a whole lot of sense since he doesn't have any silver plastic on him meaning they had to paint the whole gun anyway (and in fairness this is the first time we've seen UM in molded colors, not hand painted). It makes me wonder if the silver was just a placeholder until they came up with a design they liked. I think most of us would have just preferred if it were molded white and left alone.

The gun looks to be painted red anyway, with its real off white plastic color showing in the details there, so changing from one painted color to another, seems a bit strange.


I'd say, possibly that the silver gun we saw previously was just a spur of the moment deal, and it'll actually be red for the final product.

All the Micromasters have combined weapon modes now, so that is supposed to be a gun. Your description was pretty much accurate though, it isn't a particularly convincing weapon by any means.

As for my thoughts on these pics, Cog is still a guaranteed purchase, and Magnus wins me over more every time I see him. I just hope all this weapon combining allows me to make him a decent enough hammer, as that's basically all he's missing for me.
