Ultra Magnus doesn't look that much blockier than the Combiner Wars toy (and his G1 design has always been blocky, which you should know full well from your comics), why are you so surprised he can pose? Also, A. We've known how blocky he is for months, why are you only trashing on him for it now? and B. the truck bumper had to go somewhere. I'm pretty sure Optimus has a bumper butt too.
2. Regarding Shockwave, they needed somebody to be a Decepticon Leader-class toy. And whether you like the weapon harness or not (I think it's fine), it brings him up to Leader size, which is the important thing. Besides, they have at least 4 Voyager slots allocated to Decepticons already (Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Thundercracker).

I realize I'm not a board-certified expert like Sabrblade, so you may have skimmed over what I had sad about it. So here:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:It's not actually haphazard, there is a calculation to it. Siege may have more paint than we've been accustomed to for a while, but it's still rationed. So when apportioning Magnus' paint operations, they presumably decided it was more important to weather the armored mode since that's the part most people would care about. And since the thighs of the cab robot are the only part left exposed, they're what gets the weathering.

I didn’t skim it, I read the post. I don’t doubt that they did in fact ration the paint the way you say, I simply don’t like that it’s there.

This right here is exactly what we’re saying. Would the Armored mode really look that bad without the thighs painted up in battle damage? I submit that it would not.

As far as most who have him can tell, the headplate he mounts to does not lock. Just is a friction thing. I could not find anything to lock it on mine.

It could give us another separate character to the CW Magnus with Minimus and another individual to wear the armour like in the IDW comics.

Where do you guys place that extra wheel for Hound in robot mode
For Cog, is his battle damage paint just some silver specks in random spots?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
But then it wouldn't look like G1 Ultra Magnus's inner robot mode head, looking instead like the wrong character from who this toy's meant to be.Windsweeper wrote:Given that the truck mode is based on the RID 2000 series, I'd have liked if the smaller robot's head was based on the RID head sculpt.
