I volunteer to personally slap Hasbro upside the head for starting this trend.

No, Hasbro started the trend to repaint EVERY Prime into Magnus for marketing, while DW just did it once for their story. Hasbro has the bigger fault.

Though I also feel kinda bad feeling that way seeing that I like the current Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker (hopefully soon) repaints.

I don't know why they havent made the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus trailer. Have the trailer become the body armor that fits onto the White Prime/Magnus and you got gold (just like G1). I guess I would actually have to buy both those. Come on Takara I am asking you to make me poor here.

First other then the first toy the repaints did not start until after the DW issue. Also we the fans at the time thought it was so cool to finally see Magnus with no armor, look what it got us. Now to think of it maybe we should blame ourselves

Technically the origanal Magnus was a repaint too (unlike Prime/Convoy which was the same colours as the diaclone version, the diaclone version of the Magnus mold was a completly different colour).
As far as I know the only mold that was truly designed for the charecter (before the titainium one) was the RiD one.

I'll help. Im so sick of this "White Prime is Magnus" bullshit. It was ok the first few times but now its old. I understand that the first Magnus toy was a white prime but he at least had that trailer mech thing and a new head. If they want to keep makeing white primes magnus then at least give hime something diffrent like a trailer that combines with him like G1 or a diffrent head and weapons.

I know the idea here is that they can get more mileage out of the Prime mold, but don't you think they would sell more, or at least as much as Prime, if it was an actual Magnus bust?

No. They wouldnt. Magnus isnt as popular as Prime, never will be.

Ironically, I want to see an Ultra Magnus repaint as Optimus Prime.
