I'm pretty sure you meant "fenrir have come up with more images of Leader class ULTRA MAGNUS"
Anyway, I'm way more exited about that one that I ever was over the MP. For me, having an amazing leader size and bad-ass looking UM for 200$ less than I would have to pay a MP count for a lot.

yeah.. masterpiece magnus is still FAR superior to this.
no doubt this figure will utilize the same awful ratchet joints we've been seeing with the other voyager and leader figures.
they couldn't be bothered coloring the thing accurately which is a bit annoying. the outward shoulder joints are REALLY weird looking.
every time i see a new photo of this figure, the less i like it. i'm sure if takara releases it, i'll like it again. i really wish the thighs were red with a blue crotch. with all the cost cutting going on, they could've at least gotten the colors right.
lastly.. who in the hell was selling masterpiece magnus for $250? magnus was easily attainable for $150.. and yes, it is most definitely worth $100 more than this leader figure.

Tim, just pointing out that I'm Canadian. So, here's how much MP Magnus will cost me PRECISELY if bought from BBTS:
With the cheapest shippin rates:
189.99$US + 22.49$US = 212.48$US
212.48$US = 267.13$CAN
267.13CAN with guaranteed customs fees of around 30$CAN or more mean at least:
300$CAN or MORE for MP Ultra Magnus.
Afterr seeing many video reviews of MP UM, I personally don't think he's worth that much money.
Combiner Wars Leader Utra Magnus is the next best thing. He look imposing, bad-ass, and I love the fact that he have a minibot inside.
And finally, it would cost me around 68$CAN at the most expensive price point locally with taxes.
So, for me at least, I think CW UM will be WAY more bangs for my bucks than MP UM.

I think as you previously mentioned on TAV figures thread K, you're gonna hold off until the Tomy version is released. You'll save more on sprucing this mold up.
And Tim, K is including the tax duties. Taxes in Canada are really waaaaaaaaaaaay out there!

Lookin at Minimus in the drivers seat there you gotta love the meticulous approach to detail. Even the shoulder stacks get some love. Despite his slight height advantage over Megs in the IDW universe, on my shelf he he'll look great displayed with CW Megatron.

The more I see pictures of this guy, the more I can't wait to get him. I love IDW-verse transformers, and that Magnus is my favorite one of all time. He looks amazing and I love how Minimus Ambus comes with him.
This may also be a thing of pictures not doing the guy justice. Menasor has been repeatedly said to be far better in hand and that pictures don't do him justice. W may have another case of that here in my opinion for those concerned about his looks

On a side note, I wonder what Hasbro is going to re-deco this mold as?
Re: In-Hand Images of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Leader Ultra Magnus

Yeah, customs are EXTREMELY high over here. You have to pay the regular 15% taxes over the value of the package AND they slap an extra 10$ in extra fees. Sigh.
Also, the weird thing is customs are very random. For some online stores like BBTS, you get slapped for sure. Even when a private citizen middlemanned me MP-10, there were customs as well! Some other times, there are no customs, especially if it come from an online store from China.
I recently ordered some figures from HLJ and I'll see if I have to pay customs for these. As it is, that order will only be around 3$ more than if I paid full prices locally, with bonus Takara premium paint job.
I bought the Hasbro version of Megatron because it was the version I personally prefered and the Takara one would have cost me at least 20-30$ more. So, that's a double-win for me. As for Ultra Magnus, I'll wait and see for some pictures of the Takara version. If I find it superior and if I'm not paying customs from HLJ, and if the price difference is not too hig, I may buy the Takara version. It's just a matter of wait-n-see. The same can be said for Menasor, Superion, and Devastator.

He looks really cheap and plasticky next to that much superior Megatron.
Also really dislike the Minimus thing. Though if I was to buy this I could at least pretend he's not in there (or just throw that lil wretch in the trash).
And I have to agree the lack of colour in the crotch and thigh area is pretty poor.

I wonder how necessary the cab is to the larger figure made from the trailer.
I ask because I wonder if the old Classics Ultra Magnus cab can be switch in for it.

I think it's permanently attached at the hitch/swivel to magnus back.
also I wish they would have a generic flat front cab compared to the chibi truck face...but oh well he can live in bot mode.

I seriously dont see the point of the little robot inside magnus. It should have been a matrix. Instead of scale images with CW megatron, they need to show the pic everybody wants to see...next to city commander.

What about the rocket launchers ? Your image doesnt show them. Obviously they arent any type of G1 but FP used a similar design. Was FP going for a comic magnus back in the day or did hasbro use FP IP?
Also you really believe hot rod was more deserving of the matrix than magnus?
