Congrats! he is awesome

Snagged one too! Thanks for the hot tip!

Thanks Mooncake623.

I'm thinking maybe I should snag another even though mine is coming snail mail from Amazon and should be here tomorrow. I just wish Viper was in stock so I could get free shipping. I don't have the extra cash right now to dish out for Cyclonus. Cyclonus and Viper are the only two I'd like to add to the ranks right now.

Does anyone have any shipping/discount codes?

He's just shy of the free shipping at $50.

FAMILY2015 is no longer working

Nice. It's a good figure, but I'll leave it for others. I just hope this means that W3 deluxe protectobots will be posted soon...

I noticed that too. But then realized I had a promo code from my last HTS purchase that worked.

I think those are a one and done deal though.

Now all I need are 3 of the 4 Deluxe Protectobots.

(Rook is Meh so Alpha Bravo will take his spot until Hasbro gets a clue with deluxe Grove.)

I'll just wait till he shows up at Kmart (if he show up of course. I want enough to get him, but not enough to spend those prices.) Shopping at the place you work does have some advantages.

So while I was working on the gallery for Ultra Magnus and Minimus Ambus, it occurred to me what a possible remold could be for these guys: Star Convoy with Hot Rodimus. Minimus Ambus basically has a Cybertronian Hot Rod alt mode. Star Convoy wouldn't be a big stretch if you gave him the car trailer mode instead.

Booyah!


P.S. - Not my photo.

SWEET! Got me Magnus ordered. Magnus alone would have cost me total $57, with paid shipping where its under $50. I added Powerglide and legends Strongarm w/Magnus then %15 off code and total is $53, lol. Turned out pretty nice.

Sorry it was one Hasbro sent when I bought something before.

Nice, thanks to a one-time-use coupon code I got from HTS with my last order Magnus only came to $38.24. Tossed in Legends Acid Storm and Thundercracker and it came to under $60 after tax. Great deal!

Emerje

Swiped a Magnus and added Air Raid (finally!) Me = happy camper!

Ah, it just wouldn't be a seibertron.com thread without Rated X complaining about something. I was getting worried.

Yah, that just doesn't do it for me. Thanks for the pic though!

I think the number of people who would be interested in a control suit retool is slim. I'll wait and see what Hasbro has in mind.

Got Magnus last night, along with a big box of assorted other Transformers (but that's another story).

I like him. The hand thing is a bit annoying, but with a small amount of work he can hold his main gun pretty tightly. He looks a lot better in hand than in photos, and the hollowness doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does on, say, Jetfire. Aside from having the flip the truck cab around, the transformation is very G1. Quite easy to figure out sans instructions.

When I first heard about this figure, I was very excited, but subsequent reviews tamped that down. I was worried that I wouldn't like Magnus very much, but he's a great looking, fun figure. He is pretty much what I have come to expect from Leader class figures: a good figure that could be amazing with a bit more effort (and likely a heftier price tag).

Now that I've had a chance to open Ultra Magnus, I definitely see now why everyone likes this figure so much. This is the toy I've wanted since Voyager Springer came and wrecked my classicverse shelf that featured Titanium Ultra Magnus as the city commander

Whoa. It seriously is the first time I bought a figure before it ended up in Hasbro's Toy Shop. Found Magnus at the B.O.T.S. convention here in the Netherlands last Sunday. Love 'm.

Got my Mags today, been playing around with him for the last hour or so. I really like him. The colours are nice, and I like the detail on the cab particularly. The transformation is decent he's a lot of fun in alt mode when posing with other figures. Currently got him ferrying Hot Rod and Kup around.

As a big fan of MTMTE I'm absolutely loving little Minimus Amubus, who is currently riding one of my Ravage figures on my MTMTE shelf.

The only criticism of the figure is that the plastic is a bit cheap and fragile in parts, and the colours are nice but Takara have shown up Hasbro again (tempted to double dip!). Other than that I'm very happy with him.

Decided to bite on Magnus, even though funds are a little tight this week. Honestly surprised that he hasn't sold out yet.

Might I suggest a retool of Magnus that will not only complement Armada Megatron, but also appeal to my nostalgia? Three words: Armada Super-mode Optimus Prime. If this happens, I would buy Megatron and him up in a heartbeat.

I think he'd deserve his own mold, and that there's need to be so much retooling to turn Magnus into Armada Prime that they might be better making a new mold. But yeah, a new mold Armada Super Optimus Prime with KNEES would be grand.

He has knees, just put him on Jetfire!

In all seriousness though, I would do some unspeakable things for a proper Armada prime.

I'm not sure if this has already been noted in the thread,

Getting Magnus to hold his guns well is pretty easy.

The handles for both weapons have a small tab at the bottom of the grip.

If you open his hand, and place the grip against it, the notch between the trigger and this bottom tab is exactly the width to slide right over his bottom 3 fingers. This means he can close his hand fully and the weapon is held in place by friction.

I even did the rattle test with him after doing mine. Nothing fell out. Both weapons held in great in either hand.

I have photos I can post if anybody needs to see what I mean, but it'll have to wait until 12:30 GMT when I take my lunch, as I'm currently at work.

I see what you mean! Definitely does make a difference. Given him a good shake and they're holding nice and tight. Thanks!

So for those who have him in hand... which do you prefer? Leader class or Masterpiece?

I like the size of MP and of course the G1 aspect... but the Leader still looks pretty cool and has that whole 'power armor' thing going for it that I actually do like from IDW...

I'm still torn on which I want... any major flaws I haven't heard about on either of these guys that makes a swaying argument?


Cost alone has me leaning toward Leader, but not enough to order him... Feels like I'm saving up for MP, but if I see Leader in stores before then I'll probably crack

I liked the hammer idea... but if the hammer isn't very practical in hand then that loses some steam...

It's a bit of an apples:oranges comparison really. The biggest differences are price and scale. MP magnus is HUGE. So if your collection is mostly CHUG, he'd look a little out of place.

Is there actually a comparison shot out there (MP & CWL)? Not that I need it, just curious.

I don't think there's really a comparison.

Masterpiece Ultra Magnus is the defining version of 1980's G1 Ultra Magnus.

Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is the defining version (well only version) of the 2010's IDW Ultra Magnus.

To me they're two very separate figures representing the same character but one represents the original incarnation, the other the modern incarnation.

Don't worry. I have no money, so I won't be getting him for a while.


EDIT: Well that was fast. He's already gone on Amazon. Don't know about HTS, though.

No one touch my Hasbro Toy Store Ultra Magnus!

i mean.. leader prime, grimlock, megatron.. voyager brainstorm, silverbolt.. etc.

you either need to pose the arms (sometimes) and legs (sometimes) unnaturally close to the body, or unnaturally away from the body.

i don't understand it. why do they insist on ruining already cheapened figures with these joints? maybe they figured.. "okay, the molds themselves LOOK pretty good.. lets make it so that you can't pose them naturally".. it just doesn't make any sense to me. how is something like this missed? consistently.

well, i guess they don't care, especially considering they're still giving gorilla arms to figures.

I'd like to see ONE post that you've made that doesn't include a rant of some sort. You guys are making me go insane in the membrane.
