That's something i'd do.

Not Blurrz.

He just doesn't laugh.

Oh so now I can't trust you, Burn. :-?

And how can you not laugh? It is the best medicine. Oh yeah...there's that really strange English teacher at my school...he definitely does not laugh. He's like a drone or something...rather scary, actually.

Wait ... you trusted me?

That was silly of you.

Twelve and a half years I worked for a woman who never laughed ... twelve and a half very long years ... and me being a 24/7 smartarse ... was not a fun environment, literally.

Well, yes, I have been rather difficult with you on the forums, so I understand why you are bewildered. I at least try to trust all that I meet. But now I don't trust you at all! Fool! FOOL!!

And I can most definitely understand why you would not have fun in that environment. I personally like to use a lot of humor, so I don't generally get along with people that do not embrace its use.

Frankly if I can't get a person to laugh a little then they're not really worth my time.

I went through the "serious" stage of my life, it was unpleasant. I'd rather laugh. It's a great way to deal with any crap that happens.

Except for those straight white repaints of Prime that they then call Ultra Magnus. Not funny. His cab might have been a white repaint but he was very much his own TF.

What I find odd though, is that over the years they've tried to strengthen the connection between Prime and Magnus while simultaneously trying to distance the connection between Megatron and Galvatron.

Yeah I know I don't get that either, especially the Megatron/Galvatron thing. I've actually had to explain to friends how the two basically have the same essence, but somehow they think the two are totally unconnected. Oh the confusion of this Transformers universe!

I of course would love to see an Ultra Magnus. It seems like one would think if there are those would would (or could) drop over 80 bucks, for FansProject's armor, I would almost see this as an automatic money maker. If Hasbro released an Ultra Magnus who could combine with his trailer I couldn't see it not selling out as soon as it hit the shelves.

Yes, I honestly think the trailer combination gimmick could really sell Hasbro some toys. I would buy him immediately. It would be cool if he came with the Matrix too.

How much you want to bet that the only Ultra Magnus we get for the next five years will be a redeco of the upcoming legends G1 Optimus Prime?

I would say no to that but the past speaks for itself. The last official Magnus I remember that combines with the trailer was the Titanium one and even then it wasn't that good. Hasbro are really missing an oportunity with this character. The second the first images of Fansproject City Commander appeared online, everyone who didn't have Classics Magnus, including myself, was desperate to pick one up. The cost of making Ultra Magnus was well over the $80 Fansproject wanted for it and I don't remember seeing many people complain about that. Imagine if they could get one for half that? Come on Hasbro, you are missing out on easy money here.

If they were really going all out to cater to us fans (pipe dream time!) Magnus would be a white Optimus repaint that combined with a trailer for Ultra armor with a built in Matrix chamber. The chamber would be empty so the only way he could have one is if you took it from Optimus Prime!

Exactly what I was thinking! Except I want him to actually come woth the Matrix. All hell would break loose if they didn't include it.
But, yes, an Optimus repaint that combines with a trailer. Just that simple.

I know, Hasbro could make a killing off of us. I don't really want the fansproject armor becuase of the cost, and I'm sure Hasbro could make something a little bit cheaper that is just as good.
And technically, Titanium Magnus doesn't really combine per se, because the truck and the trailer are one solid unit that can't split, and there is only one robot mode. So techincally the last combining Ultra Magnus was...uh...the G1 Ultra Magnus. I wouldn't mind one of them either.
