Takara to Release Classics Ultra Magnus in the Asian Market

Ah, I do love seeing people eat crow. I'm glad this is legit, ONLY for that. Ah, such glee.

His being too white matters not. The armor cover him anyway and the lower extremities is just as it should be just like the G1 version.

finally!!

this has been brought.

Looks crap and way way to late Takara

rarly do i say this but - Hasbro version is superior

only thing I can see as maybe being a problem is that his thighs are silver. the hasbro one has white thighs which make the CC armour look more G1. so it's actually not a case of "too much white will show", but quite the opposite. Still, the KO Magnus I have has the armour sitting all wobbly. Hopefully this one will fit it better.

Takara superior.

Hasbro inferior.

Six years in the past, Takara made these toys all right. But they let Hasbro be the first to release them as Classics, but their way (wrong details, neon Megatron). Two years later, Takara wanted to show Hasbro that their doing them the wrong way. Luckily, Takara made these as Henkei figurines but this time, the G1 way.

Another reason why Takara is MUCH more better than Hasblow.

High hopes for UM's own trailer.

To this day I still kick myself for never getting this mold.

Im sittin here lookin up at my authentic city commander armor with henkei optimus inside and I just cant imagine him looking any better. (dont care about the truck mode)
The red arms look so much better than the white, he doesnt look like he's wearing an AC slater shirt showing off white abs because the red blends in, his legs are silver so his kneepads pop more and the dark blue works fine and is hardly noticable. Plus the red gun looks better than the white one with all that silver trim. of course the silver machine gun looks cooler than a black one.
Its cool that asians can get a classics magnus though. seems more like dreamwave style with the white legs. I dont see it looking very good in the armor though.
anyone rockin their magnus with henkei prime? back me up on how sweet it looks!

I think this mold looks spectacular painted white! I really like it a lot. I do think, however, that i like the Hasbro version just a tinsy bit better with the blue legs but i certainly won't say that i "dont't" like this total white one. Especially because of G1 accuracy.

I'm glad i have the Hasbro version already but i'd be tempted to buy this "naked " Magnus to stand beside my FP armoured up one.

68 bucks is a little steep though but not too bad i guess. Not including shipping of course.

Well, the mold IS a shell former of sorts hence the kibble. The things you have to pay to make him look like a truck at the same time.GF Convoy on the other hand......now that's how you do a modern Convoy!

Not that I have anything to complain about this mold either, oh wait, no 'stacks while in 'bot mode
