Thanks to Starscream? on weibo, we now have new in-hand images of the Generations Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus figure. Unlike Masterpiece Ultra Magnus that is base on his appearance in the G1 animation, this latest release from Hasbro is based in his appearance in IDW's ongoing comic series, More than Meets the Eye. Sadly these images does not give us a look at the Minimus Ambus figure that comes with Ultra Magnus. Check out the image we've embedded below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Damn that's a good lookin' Magnus. But I do wonder how big classics prime is in relation?

Not so thrilled about those "sad" eyes. He's back to looking like he can't deal with me right now...

Can't wait for this guy, I'm glad his shoulders fold up a bit more than the earlier images.

Damn, I know recent TFs are riddled with hollow plastic, but these shoulder missiles look kinda bad.

Would have liked to see more color on the thighs or forearms, but I'm still digging this dude.

I wonder if Magnus's shoulder towers can point forward as cannons like in the comics. Even if they can't I think this figure is damn near perfect.

Didn't realize Some of the fingers had articulation.

This figure is just getting better with each newer pic.

:lol:

Seems like the Leader class Ultra Magnus might have more articulation than the recent Masterpiece toy version. :lol:

My single complaint is the height of the shoulders. Way too tall.

Re: In-Hand Images of Generations Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus (1669844)
Posted by Tsutsukakushi on April 1st, 2015 @ 10:14am CDT

Think the Face of Leader class Ultra Magnus looks smushed in and distorted as a result.

I think you may be able to increase the "bicep" area much like the G1 toy, if these earlier pictures are any indication. It may be a compromise between shoulder pylon height and bicep/shoulder swivel visibility...

[Edit] Added newer pic for comparison.

Also, another thought occurred to me... I wonder where the previously mentioned "firing projectile" factors in? Is it possible that the shoulder pylons might contain firing missiles? I do not see the shoulder missiles firing with all that hollow space...

Hmmm. That might be doable, if somehow gorilla arms can be avoided. Also, do we have vehicle mode pics yet?
And is this Magnus 1 piece or is there a white Prime inside the armor?

Like the Masterpiece figure, it's not white Optimus in armor. What we see is what we get, I'm afraid.

In saying that... I want this guy. Would like to see a Leader-class Overlord grapple with him, though!

That's not entirely accurate. Dominus Ambus is inside the armor.

This might seem nit-picky, but WHY can't Hasbro get the Autobot

and Decepticon

faction shields correct? The Bay-verse faction shields should NEVER be on anything that isn't a movie toy. They mix and match them all the time. We should only see ANGRY autobot eyes on crappy Bayverse toys.

I'm paying a small fortune at reprolables to correct this incessant issue.

Looks really great, he definitely represents his MTMTE appearance well. Makes me wish even more that we had a voyager rodimus to scale with this guy and the rest of the lost light.

There's been a few vehicle mode pics out there. Here's one I could find quickly for ya.

Ah. Thank you. But that is an ugly cab. Especially since it opens in the front to put the little guy in.
If I get this, it will be displayed in robot mode for sure.

Maybe in a couple of years once the MP hype has died down we could get a G1 style Leader Magnus

I've been stopping by the local TRU quite frequently, and all I find is a single Armada Megatron each time, not the G1 version I'm looking for.

I've looked for the G1 version on the internet (Amazon and eBay) and it's way overpriced! C'mon HTS, get it back in stock so I can order it and use a coupon!

Boy this is pretty annoying

Yea good luck finding him. I had decided that I'd try to pick him up third party( if he ever got in stock) but I lucked out. Found him sitting in a k mart. I was a little sad because the box was crumpled on one edge but what can you do. I think this is one of those guys you grab if you can. Honestly the combiner wars megatron will be my stand in masterpiece megatron. It's a great figure!

How is this not G1 ? It transforms just like the G1 cartoon ? The only thing about it thats not G1 is the design of the shoulder missiles which appear to be ripped off from city commander.

In other words he means "vintage toy accurate". People need to stop using the term "G1" so loosely. By American standards, G1 simply means anything transformers related between 1984-1988. There are even G1 pajamas.

Why can't you accept that the word "G1" has mulitple meanings?

Also, you forgot the years 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992. G2 didn't start until 1993.

G1 itself is just a loose term.

Before I started collecting in 2005 I thought that G1 was only the first two seasons of the Transformers: MTMTE cartoon and TF the Movie. I had never seen the third season of TF as I didn't have cable TV as a kid. Of course I was ignorant about the whole Japanese headmaster/master force/victory thing.

G1 Toy accurate, G1 cartoon accurate, and G1 nostalgia accurate are usually three totally separate things. There is no ultimate continuity in Transformers. That’s why collectors have so many shelves!

Seibertronian from Canada Jones has finally spotted a wild leader class Generations Combiner Wars Megatron in the other, colder side of the North American continent - specifically Toys R Us in Barrie, ON. They report that a single Armada Megatron was on the shelf, too, and that this specific toy has now found a new home at the price of $59.99 CDN. Are you still looking for a big bad Decepticon leader yourself? Why not head to the Sightings section and forums to help in your hunting, and remind yourself why you really want this toy by looking at our galleries here.

My phone was dead so I didn't get a picture but I know for a fact that Camp Hill in PA had two of the Armada Megatrons and two of the Lost Light Megatrons at the Toys R Us yesterday. They also had the entire first wave of Combiner War deluxes.

Next time I will have my phone charged, sorry! :oops:
