0:00 unboxing, touch up/set up, accessories, 5:20 converting from armour robot to white inner robot (slow demonstration) 14:20 converting white robot into cab mode (slow demonstration) 26:17 converting armor into trailer (slow demonstration) 33:47 converting vehicle mode back to armored robot mode (normal speed with legs only shown once) So it’s a 10-15 minute transformation once you’ve practiced it, not 45minutes. I’m Not sure what a lot of the comments here seem afraid of, there’s plenty of complicated transformations out there, this one has multiple modes, it makes sense the video is long to show us each transformation, looks great to me.
Super surprised by the comments. My main complaint is having to cut parts off the sprue. Otherwise it looks great and I’m contemplating buying an 2nd once I am able to handle the one I preordered. I guess the good news is that if everyone hates it, I will be able to get my 2nd one on sale!
@ I know why they said they made the change, I just don’t like it. I’m disabled and have bad hands and I don’t want to damage the face(s) of my brand new figure while removing them. They never had to do this before, and I always got the right faces. To me, their real reason for doing this was to save money and I’d happily pay more to get them individually in the baggies like every other FT figure I bought in the past. I’m trying to think if any of their really old figures shipped this way, but I don’t think so. I’m similarly annoyed when I buy a special edition from XTB and then they send me a massive sticker sheet that I have to apply myself. I have several of these still sealed in the box because I fear opening them and then screwing up all of the decals.
I don't hate it, but to invalidate or at least not recognize the other criticisms isn't fair either. I really wanted to like this figure and be fully on board with it. I like the colors a lot and the high quality fanstoys paint and materials, and even the slight proportional differences from Xtransbots Commander Stack and Magic Square Light of Peace that make it stand out and kind of gives it its own unique character. But there really isn't much reason to get this over those beyond just wanting to have an Ultra Magnus that does things differently. Yeah, the colors are great, and it's cool that you can have the figure in 3 different forms, and it alludes to what their Prime figure will be like. But it has a more complex transformation than TE01 and maybe even more complex than MP44, granted it does at least look more stable than MP44, which breaks a little more each time you transform the damn thing even if you're being careful. But for a much more complex transformation, you're getting a much less accurate sculpt, which isn't too bad cause again I like the stylization, but it makes that backpack look bad, or at least not as good as the Xtransbots. As well as you're getting less articulation because Fanstoys really does like elbow articulation for some reason. Again it's not horrible, it's just it does have it's flaws that's gonna make it less desirable than the completion or at least less desirable than people wanted it to be. I'm still on the fence on whether I'll get it or not
@@GrimSRT8 Just a tip from a Gunpla builder. If you are going to cut the faces from the sprue, leave a large amount of sprue from the face, to reduce the stress on the plastic, then, when the faces are away from the sprue, you can cut closer to the actual face, then you won’t have to worry as much about ruining the faces Still scary biscuits, but it will help a lot
Bobby Skullface will love this transformation 😁 The only thing I don't like is the shoulder articulation. It is functional but it is ugly... but other than that it looks really good.
Incredible engineering, all the modes look amazing, but the amount of time spent flipping tiny panels is INSANE. I can't wait until Johnny Skullface gets his hamfisted hands on one to test how strong it actually is.
Really happy to see that the windows in vehicle mode are still essentially the same windows in bot mode. It's so much better, IMHO, when the transformation doesn't depend on unfolding hidden faux "cartoon parts". It's not as exciting to see a bot mode with fake vehicle parts. The whole excitement of transformers is that somehow a vehicle becomes a robot. Anyway, I was so expecting there to be a hidden "cartoon bot mode chest" folded up inside, but there wasn't. I'm impressed.
Finally someone who acknowledges that Ultra Magnus was originally a white truck cab robot wearing his trailer as armour, AND then releases a masterpiece of it, ... that includes the truck cab!
The lengths they went to and compromises they made so the figure would look like the cartoon but work the way the toy did for no real reason are pretty wild.
@@WaywardTraveler77 umm. Yes. I know that. But personally, Transformers on TV was a cartoon of my toys. My toys were not toys of the cartoon. Toon accuracy is kinda boring. Simple animation models for cheap animation.
Yeah, getting the figure in and out of Prime/Magnus/Truck mode is too much, and will expose you to breakage. I'll save my money and stick with the X-Transbot figure.
I see the old Fanstoys is back & left out the fun factor here. There is a lot of unnecessary transformation going on with this figure. I get it, they don't want it to be that close to the original, but damn this is insane. I'm still going to get it because it's a nice looking figure & this will be my first open Fanstoys figure as well, which I don't have a lot of, but i refused to transform it.😅
Can't wait for delivery. Looks very involved but also looks phenomenal. I am a bit worried about paint chipping from the armour to the cab/body. Also wish the gun fitted better in the hands. Looks slightly un-gripped. But, based on this video, well done Fans Toys!
I agree, especially if it looks so complicated. I'm going to enjoy it so much. 😄 Really? It's not bad, but then again, it is very complicated. 🤔 But then again, it's not a bad figure. 👍
It looks beautiful - better than it looked in the photos. I'm a little worried about the articulation, though, and yeah...I'm not going to be transforming this back and forth. So now the question is, will I need a THIRD MP scale Ultra Magnus in my collection to complement the HasTak and XTB ones? The answer is probably yes 😂
You magnificent bastards. You did it. You really did it. A masterpiece Ultra Magnus that does everything an Ultra Magnus should do. Oh, it's beautiful😢 I can't wait to get my hands on mine when it ships. Thank you!
The trailer arms being stored in the legs and then combining with the arms is a crazy design choice. Never seen that before. While I prefer Ultra Magnus that doesn’t have the white Optimus Prime because the Ultra Magnus mode tends to suffer, I think this is one of the best iterations so far. The only fiddle looking part is the white parts jetting out the back
Gotta luv the creaking sound of the fanstoys plastic. My guess for the price of this thing is gonna be around $300 USD. Other than that, this thing is fantastic!
This guy is so premium it hurts my eyes (in a good way). One day soon the FT ‘heft’ will derive from all the solid gold and platinum they use in place of boring old die-cast
Deconstructing the trailer into so many separate bits feels as redundant and extra as splitting The Hobbit into 3 films. "This time, on 'Adventures in Unnecessary Partsforming'..." I don't ever think of Magnus as a smiley face guy. I always think of him as just a "Damn it, I don't have time for this right now!" guy-- _especially after this 43-min video._ Box art shows the truck with dual headlamps, but the actual toy has quads. Woops.
That moment when you realize that Fans Toys secretly hid their alt version of MP-44 INSIDE their version of MP-22. *chef's kiss* Absolute genius. Well done. 🫡
Even their official demo guy struggles with it. That's kinda funny. The engineering is a bit insane, but thos kinda thing, an Ultra Magnus with an Albino Prime that wears armor, is what I prefer. Okay, why is that one armature for the back leg panel on a ratchet? Nooo! Faux parts! How could you?! I was enjoying it so much!
What is the official release date? Because I ordered this thing and my package got sent back to the shipper during shipping before it was sent to me all the way.
This figure makes g creation ultra Maxmus look easy this figure is so involved and very complex just the cab alone is very involved but overall I think he looks great just a very long and complex process
WTF? They made that Transformation way overly complicated. I had high hopes for this one. Looks like I will be sticking with the XTB version. I already have one I don't touch as the Transformation is a nightmare. No need for a second one. I really hope someone, anyone does this guy correctly.
Well I admit it , yes this thing is AWESOME ! Now can you hook me up with one please as I can't find one anywhere . Well not one that doesn't want my life savings
I knew the back half of the top rack folded into the legs! ...but I did not know that the arms were fully prosthetic, and not armor for the white robot's arms. In that case, why not just use MP-22's method? Would the armored arms have been too long then? Otherwise, I think it's needlessly complicated and wasteful. There's a lot of empty space inside the back of the cab and the truck bed that could have been used to store, I don't know, half of each thigh, then all of the torso mechanisms could have been simplified - maybe even could have been the same as MP-10.
I think the transformation of Optimus Prime to truck mode is the most complicated of all MP Primes ever released. Overall, it's beautiful but a very complex figure.
Porque no se animan a hacer no solo de la G1, tambien de series, videojuegos y de las películas, les iria bien, un ejemplo seria los drones del videojuego de Transformers, revenge of the fallen y dark of the moon como seeker, aerialbot, combaticon, protectobot entre otros, como del shockwave del videojuego de la primera película, breakaway o soundwave de dark of the moon de los videojuegos que se transformaba en una camioneta Mercedes Benz todo terreno en lugar de la sls amg como warpath que solo apareció en ese videojuego, tambien puede ser mejores representaciones de series como animated, prime, cyberverse entre otros, hay mucho por donde sacar fuera de la G1, saludos cordiales desde Cusco Perú con cariño 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don't know if it only oncurs to me that the principle of design is practically the same as the MS mini magnus with little 'fanstoys'" moderations. Tell me I'm wrong, hate to bother to finish the video.
MARGH is the sound you make transforming this beast.
I made that sound when I transformed their Roadking😂
Thank God it comes in Robot Mode LOL>
You ain't kidding.
Yeah. I'm neeeeever transforming this thing.
Imagine if it came ...unassembled on sprews
Facts I'm never transforming this guy
Imagine JobbyTheHong losing his marbles over this transformation
That's going to be a long stretch of that royalty-free jazz! 😂

Are you referring to the extra faces on the sprue? FT did that to prevent the workers from mixing up the same face during packing in the factory.

Yeah I think I’m canceling that one it took them 45 minutes it’s going be two hours or more on. camera.
Boutta be a long video lol
Ikr. Actually feeling better via XTB
@@walkers198 me too I was about to sell my XTB Youth version but after watching that video I think imma just keep it lol
I can't wait to hear your opinion this one! lol
Really complex and beautiful engineering in the transformation.
Love how he’s all white and the blue and red bits are the armor.
Beautiful! A MUST have in my collection!
If FT can do all this, I expect them to deliver a G1 Orion Pax and Rodimus Prime.
Bobby Skullface will love this transformation 😁 The only thing I don't like is the shoulder articulation. It is functional but it is ugly... but other than that it looks really good.
I'm just happy it will move out to the side. and has good articulation overall. Booby Bonehead will have a lot of things to say about this one. =)
Incredible engineering, all the modes look amazing, but the amount of time spent flipping tiny panels is INSANE. I can't wait until Johnny Skullface gets his hamfisted hands on one to test how strong it actually is.
With all of the signature Fans Toys joint squeaking, have you ever considered making ASMR videos? ;)
Honestly not a bad idea
Amazing engineering! I love it, Well done guys!
I love the xtarsnbot all in one design, but i love this too! Theyll have to share the shelf.😂
Just as I imagined a beautiful nightmare would look.

Transformation is stupendous

I guess a disadvantage of being one of the last companies to make an Optimus Prime is that all the easy transformations have been taken already? Haha.
FT makes nothing simple.
Ngl Fan Toys is amazing but I might stick with the X-Transbot Ultra Magnus cause all of this disassembling of the armor is a bit too much
Yeah, getting the figure in and out of Prime/Magnus/Truck mode is too much, and will expose you to breakage. I'll save my money and stick with the X-Transbot figure.

They figured out how to complicate Primes transformation worse than Takara Tomy.
Honestly astounding how they manage to top mp 44
@@Soopadave66 I think takara’s is still worse.
A good exercise for one week of vacation!😅
I'm definitely going to break something

BWHAHAHA ME TOO
Looking forward to displaying him with his upcoming red, blue and gold brother! And then hopefully a seperate release of a FT grey trailer!
Im hoping Big Red comes with his Trailer in one set!
Cancelling my pre-orders right now!
A partsformer that's too complicated for the result that's so full of panels
04:07 you really have to dig in that chest for the Matrix of leadership 😭😭🙏🏻
Amazing engineering, once again thank you FansToys for your hard work!
I haven’t been this impressed with a fans toys since motor master. Hands down figure of the year
Jobbythehong should review this!!
Some fantastic engineering in this figure!
This guy is so premium it hurts my eyes (in a good way). One day soon the FT ‘heft’ will derive from all the solid gold and platinum they use in place of boring old die-cast
Holy Mother of Creation, I think this makes Badcube Wardog look easy.
Oh yeah, that warpath wardog is a migraine
@SofiaFigueroa-gn3qh I have both Wardog and the FT Motormaster... both are a pain in the ass to transform.
I can’t wait to get this guy! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can FansToys come out with a Rodimus Prime now please? That would complete the main movie characters 💪🏾🔥🔥
Holy 10,000-step transformations, Batman!
Can you guys give FM01 a trailer? it's just like what black panther said give this man (Captain America) a shield
I'm loving this... the removable armour is what he's all about.
Love the armour gimmick, love inner robot and cab, trailer is really bad. overall transformation making mp44 look like g1 transformation. 😂😂
Wow! Best Ultra Magnus Ever!
Toy repaint please!
Deconstructing the trailer into so many separate bits feels as redundant and extra as splitting The Hobbit into 3 films. "This time, on 'Adventures in Unnecessary Partsforming'..."

I'll be keeping my Takara in alt mode, but this figure looks great!
XTB is the by far better alt mode so this gets to stay on bot mode forever. lol
Honestly the transformation looks kinda fun to me. Especially the trailer. I don't see any parts that look stressful.
Aaaaaaaand my dreams have been shattered...
Amazing 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I hope Optimus is not that complicated
It would be cool, I haven't looked to see if they are, if the cabs are different trucks.
I'd reckon it'll be the exact same
It definitely isn’t.
@ Other than a couple of bits it’ll be the same
I get the feeling that, MP44 is about to be upstaged yet again.
Am I the only one that thinks that transformations looked like a nightmare?
Looked like? The transformation is a Certified nightmare.
It's freaking hellish
It's long but nothing about it looks particularly frustrating. Just follow the video.

Metal Gear Solid Main Theme
can you show some cars on top and inside the trailer? can you show the trailer opening for the cars?
So he is triplechanger in this version :D
He is epic, cant wait for realese.
I thought the parts-forming with this guy would make the transformation a lot simpler.
Turns out I was very wrong.
Looks nice.

Ever. I hate it.
He will never see truck mode on my shelf. Never ever.
Good job I kept my MP22

i thought it was going pretty straight forward until they started on the white bits. As Magnus it shall remain.
Love the robot proportions, the best soo far, but the transformation will suck all the joy of my day.
Berserk aka Blitzwing gonna be on time?
Freaking amazing.
This would take me 10 years to figure out.
Deadend please :)
Transformation into cab mode is over complicated
I hope this ships before the end of the year.
It is, US customers will get the first batch in the next 2 weeks.
Only a matter of time before a company creates an accessory that makes the Magnus armor a full Ultra Magnus without using the white Magnus inside
very tempting this figure is
