Pics of Prototype MP Ultra Magnus Trailer

Seeing these photos makes me realize that I am not interested in armor upgrade.

Here we go again...

thats a surprise :O

year of the Magnus or what!!!

i prob won't be gettin it tho as the MP plus trailer will run into hundreds

Its very G1 and that may be the problem. Its a bit basic. Compared to the look of the City Commander upgrade which gives Magnus a beefy tough look, this set looks a bit lanky. Having said that, might look a lot better in the proper colours.

I hope they add more detailing to it.

Hmmm, many different feelings about this piece. It's G1 accurate, and I always hoped that someone would bring out a MP trailer set for Magnus so I could have that and MP Prime together, looking 'the business'. But i agree on alot of the points made, it should have some ankle articulation, and the colours should be G1 accurate considering everything else is, and, of course, the price shouldn't be outragous.
In terms of which upgrade set I prefer, i think they have 2 different looks, this one is more humanoid with G1 accuracy, the other that we have is more new and cybertronian looking.

I hope this is released en-masse because I'm 94.9% sure i'd get it.

I think I'm good with my City Commander. This looks a little shit in comparison.

Wow... some of you people are brutally honest. Wondering if those comments would be made to the face of the creator.

Anyway, A+ for effort. I don't think it looks half bad at this stage; mind you, it's a prototype. If this doesn't cost an "arm and a leg" , I'm in.

Like someone else commented, the only reason I picked up an MP Magnus was in hopes that someone would create armor. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

Bingo.

And yes HighPrime, I likely would tell the creators what I honestly think. Simply that as an scaled-up version of the original G1 armor, it's not too bad (except the missile pods, those don't look right) But thats the whole point. Just like a YouTube video when you raise it to fullscreen and it pixalates, If you are making a larger unit so you have more mass to work with, Some people (obviously myself included) would expect to see more done with it. To tell them differently would just be padding their ego, when I would perfer to give them an honest opinion to work with.

Looking at what FansProject has done with the City Commander upgrade for Classics Magnus and their take on "Masterpiece Roller" The bar has been raised on what Fans can expect from 3rd parties, and sadly this just doesn't cut it for me. If I had the Masterpiece Magnus, I would rather wait for something better that wouldn't look outclassed by the badass Classics UM/CC already in my collection.

Are we looking at the same trailer here? it transforms in a totally different way than the G1 version.

True, it needs a lot of work to be on the level of the City Commander set, but it's still too early to tell if it's worth it or not.
