May I ask what the RID stands for on that O.P. figure you mentioned?

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

The Energon one is crazy money you say? I like him with my AEC cast (need to pick up a Bulkhead at some point to be my Springer) but he's not 100% there for Classics. He's a nice placeholder, but I personally could do with a better likeness to G1.

Technically, they did release an Ultra Magnus for Cybertron, a repaint of RiD Ultra Magnus, as a Costco exclusive. Same as Universe 2003 Ultra Magnus.

Ooooooh so that's it, well thanks for that insight!

Here let me put you off of that horrible toy:
If that's not enough, his knees bend the wrong way, his arms pop off just from being looked at funny.
Plus it's super rare and therefore super expensive, getting a Classics Ultra Magnus and genuine City Commander with upgrade pack is cheaper especially considering what the tits version offers compared to CC.

Oh, Dead Metal, you unsold me on Tits UM, btw, nice work.
re:RID Ultra Magnus, wasn't there a yellow and red repaint? Or am I thinking of Armada Prime and maybe Jetfire?

To think, I was one of the ones who thought it was fake Here's an image of the two-pack:
Cybertron Ultra Magnus & Optimus Prime on TFWiki.
I read that the plastic quality on them isn't that good.

Armada Prime and Overload, I think they were Cosco exclusives?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Nemesis Destron wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Nemesis Destron wrote:Animated UM did absolutely nothing for me so I take it the same with you?

Doesn't look that re-painted at all. In fact, it looks the same, Unless THAT'S the one I have. But I got both my OP and UM from two TOTALLY Different sources, so it's not possible I don't think. Still, comparing shots between RID UM and COSCO Cybertron UM, I don't see much difference, Unless it's just the packaging pic. Is it more Black on the legs? Less Chrome? I don't really see a difference. Still, Plastic Quality is great on mine, not so much as a single stress mark or bent point or anything like that to be found! Very sturdy. Chrome paint is another story, but Iv'e had a successful run on keeping the chrome paint ON mine, no flaking. Oh, same with OP, but he's got barely any chrome. His chest ensignia, I think anyway, and his head mounted guns (horns) And eyes, that's it. Back on topic here. RID Magnus Rocks! His BFG (Named Blue Bolts) Is also, at least I believe, the Inspiration for Ultimate OP's gun placement and features.
And regaurding Animated Magnus? Hell Frikkin Yeah! That's one badass mofo. Seriously, Great toy, Pleasing amount of firepower, Seriously awesome voice features, Surprisingly complex transformation, solid paint job, very posable, and DEF. Worth the money. RID Magnus holds my vote, but Animated isn't a bad way to go.
