It definitely looks like a giant fist lol

Maybe he can do a giant brofist with CW Rook.

Magnus' transformation has been altered. The only mistransformation is failing to flip the codpiece around in armored robot mode.

Overcracker wrote:The trailer should peg in a bit further forward, to cover his inner robot arms and hands. His trailer should start over his shoulders (the red part), not back by his legs.

It's been changed so that the cab sticks out more, in an attempt to make him look less like RiD and more like G1. It may still be possible to connect it like the SIEGE version was, but the way it's shown is a deliberate change.

Overcracker wrote:Also his shoulder pieces look retooled from Siege/Netflix to be flatter and more G1

The SIEGE ones are equally G1, these just look more like the animation model (which had a flat, smooth right shoulder so they could put a faction symbol on it, and a dumbed-down version of the toy detailing on the left shoulder) than the toy.

Overcracker wrote:And it looks like his trailer panels have been retooled to removing one hinge and the front most panel. Not sure why they would do that.

They didn't remove the frontmost panel; they replaced the frontmost and rearmost panels with new ones that have representations of the G1 toy's trailer pillars.
Nor did they remove a hinge - it's just set up slightly differently because the upper deck taillights are now part of the white shin/inner calf pieces instead of being part of the trailer side panels.

Overcracker wrote:Magnus should look much better when he is properly put together in all of his modes.

For the most part, he already is. Aside from the failure to collapse the inner robot chest inward in one shot, and the failure to turn his codpiece around.

Back of the box art shows the trailer to be that way so it is how it has meant to be attached

And the back of the box has never been wrong?

No, but that's not the case here. The stock photo, the back of box photo, and the actual drawn art show it like that.

Overcracker wrote:Nope, its definitely wrong. The red back panel attaches over the shoulders and around the smokestacks.

No, that's where it attached on the SIEGE version. Like I said, he's been reworked in an effort to make him look more G1. Part of that is that the shoulder pylons, to which the cab attaches, are now connected to the forward-middle trailer panels.

Overcracker wrote:You can just make out the chest piece dipping down into the trailer when it should be straight when correctly transformed and pegged into the trailer side panels and the top of the shin panels.

What you can actually make out is the forearm covers, pegged in exactly where they should be. The chest is pegged in exactly where it's supposed to be. If anything, the blue part projects downward a bit more, but that's because it's been changed to be slightly more like MP-22 than a flattened version of the G1 toy.

Overcracker wrote:The picture on the back of the box is clearly missing the shoulder pylons that attach underneath the trailer and onto the inner robot's lower leg peg.

Oh really?

Take a close look by the cab's rear wheels. Take a good, hard look. Gee, that blue boxy thing with a narrower white boxy thing protruding from it sure looks an awful lot like a shoulder pylon!

Overcracker wrote:The back of the box in this case is incredibly wrong.

No, I'm afraid that would be you. You are the one who is incredibly wrong. You're so wrong about this you remind me of me circa 2011-12 on certain forums...

Jeddostotle7 wrote:why does everyone seem to forget the "butt" bumper slides up to be a backpack on Siege Magnus, and thus also will on Kingdom Magnus, especially given that's what the back of the box shows is true for the latter

Perhaps because it doesn't slide up particularly well, at least in my experience.

I thought the same thing, but it seems fitting for his character though.

Looking at some of the images it looks like the raptor hands fold into his torso and are visible from the sides, so I guess that's part of what led to them looking so weird. A remold would be nice, or maybe an upgrade kit but im not sure what else would come in one other than better hands lol
