Lets face it, fans toys prime is coming. All they have to do is some minor modifications and they will have a great iptimus prime figure. They quality of the 3rd party figures just keep getting better.
@tmreviews I’m curious if you see a reason for the complexity of this either because of the armor gimmick or otherwise? It seems like parts forming would result in a simpler transformation and/or cleaner looking alt mode.
I had an easier time transforming the X-Transbots version than watching you transform this. For what this is, this is extremely over engineered. My goodness!
XTB's Stack takes the same amount of time to transform as this figure's CAB and got so much more flak. Also, the backpack wasn't even mentioned once. The criticisms that he gave were valid, but this would have been a 3 for any other company.
I agree wow! This is grossly over engineered. X-Tranbots transformation was more complicated than I care for but Fanstoys Magnus is just ridiculous! I'm glad I got the X-Tranbots version. I prefer a fun transformation over perfect toon aesthetics.
We definitely need a video showing how to go from armored mode to cab. The video Fanstoys made only shows how to go from cab mode to armored mode. Looks like it would shave off a few minutes at least.
Not so easy to create a transforming robot, is it? Everyone craps on Takara, but their MP's are in a higher class when it comes to engineering, imo. Like Einstein said "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - a similar principle should be applied to this type of engineering; if you can't design something that is intuitive for the user, maybe you don't understand your craft well enough.... Fans Toys tends to try and compensate for their horrible engineering by using more high-quality components and paint, and that's cool, I can see how people would go for that....but Takara is still king of engineering...
Holy Bunions Batman...the over-engineering in this figure 😮
The XTB Magus is a pain to transform.
Fanstoys: Hold my energon.
I'm gonna need to grab some popcorn for this.
These third party transformations are bonkers
I need to get this guy

Yeeaaahhh….. probably never gonna transform this guy.

As much as I like this figure, I hate it just the same. Different but not better, premium but 2x the price, Fans Toys with Sacrifices...
so, the top part of the trailer can not incline down to form a ramp and allow cars to climb on the top part?
No

No mention of the hidden kibble inside the trailer stopping you from using it as... a trailer... Keeping my money.
Im gonna keep my x trans in truck mode for display and keep this in bot mode
Same.
This figure is a great action figure of ultra magnus but not a good transformer
Man, these transformation are such a pain to even watch. None of this looks fun and makes getting any of these third party figures an easy pass.
Why would they make something so difficult to transform it’s not logical.
