Yeah, really kind of a weird choice considering Cyclonus doesn't have anything resembling battle damage.

Honestly, I thought the old leaks were more fun.
As for Kingdom, my trip to Wal-Mart was fruitful today:

Interesting. I notice that the trailers for both the Siege and Kingdom versions of Ultra Magnus line up exactly the same way with the white cab portion. Early reviews of the Kingdom version were upset because the trailer sat further back on the truck bed, leaving the hands exposed on the back of the cab. Were they attaching it to the wrong place all along? If the trailer sits in the same spot, I don't think there is anything that can be said is inferior to the Siege version at this point, except for the missing pair of black guns.
He's got Siege greebles (called "stege" elsewhere), and battle damage all over his body.aronjlove wrote:

Yeah I attached the trailer like the Siege version. And the sides aren't flush, because of the clips on the bottom on the small bot's legs. If you don't mind getting rid of them, the trailer sides will line up. I actually did it by mistake, as I was doing the Siege transformation steps from memory and not looking at the Kingdom instructions.Overcracker wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Yet just like with scalpers, most members of the fandom keep fueling them because they keep paying them attention by posting them on websites long before they're even confirmed to be true or false.Autobot N wrote:Leaks then: "Here's 6 cut and resized images of Computron's boxart, try to fit them together."ZeroWolf wrote:Oh, I meant how the leaks were presented with the cropped artwork being mirrored and all that jazz.

While it can sit flush, I don't believe that is the correct configuration for Kingdom. It sits further back normally, because the side panels where altered and the peg holes on the panel are in a different place than Siege. As such, having it like Rodimus has it, should mean the side panels aren't pegged in to the cab correctly. not sure if that affects the space for the shoulder pylons. Though if they are shorter, there may just be enough space for them still.

I'll be keeping both of them, and I will switch the trailers, so I can have the Earth mode truck and the Kingdom robot mode. The wheels won't match, but that's a small detail.
I'm glad I got this Magnus, the White parts are very crisp, the cab looks really good. The only ones left to get are Inferno and the remaining Predacons.

I thought his shoulders are fine, but his chest is so big and bulky, it makes them look small. Galvatron's chest wasn't that big. The TR voyager had it right. If it wasn't for the headmaster gimmick and that stupid face guard, that toy would have been almost perfect.Sabrblade wrote:They're not folded up properly.Autobot N wrote:I dunno, something just seems off with his shoulders

I see. Good to know. i'm rather confused why he's there.
Probably cuz hasbro's doing a second production run of the seacons, the pre-orders were up on pulse a while ago
Second run was a while ago (and done by Takara Tomy, Hasbro just distributes), anything that's been showing up on Pulse since has been leftover stock from their warehouse. Takara Tomy also recently put a bunch of stuff on Takara Tomy Mall as a warehouse sale.

But they're all up for pre-order right now, supposed to be out in june

Chriphord wrote:I kind of feel like the scuffing and lack of painted goatee might point to a possible MP Galvatron soon. The combination of us getting our Mini-MPs as well as the major price hike the actual masterpieces have been getting lately have been pushing people to be transitioning to main line instead of MP (based on what I’ve read in the forums at least). I’m sure that the Hasboys know this to some extent and are trying to make sure that people still have reason to get the Masterpiece (if one is indeed in the works.)
