I finally found the videos that sparked an interest in me for these things 10 years ago using a public library computer. Thanks for making my childhood
I received my City Commander kit today, and upgraded Ultra Magnus is standing guard on my highest shelf. I'm very happy with the design, appearance, and materials quality of the kit.
That's the ingenuity of the fans. That's how franchises should run, By the fans for the Fans. That is seriously so cool. I just can't believe how awesome it is!
I just got my Ultra Magnus upgrade kit today. One of the best purchases I ever made. If you want him to be able to hold his BFG sticking straight out, you can move his leg forward a bit, and have the gun sit on his kneecap.
That's really fantastic and your video quality is SO clear! How did you get it that clear? Man, I wish the total weren't so pricey, Ultra Magnus + City Commander set = beyond my current budget. Awesome vid = 5 stars!
awesome review peaugh! originally i wasnt gonna get him but once i saw your review and saw him in motion i just couldnt resist. worth every penny! P.S. you can point the bfg straight if you rest the back of the right arm piece against the tab of the waist piece that attaches to the leg armor in trailer mode
If you turn the white shotgun thing around to face up you can bend the tip down and it actually fits really well, it may be intended, It gives him the look of another weapon on the top of his shoulders like a lot of G1ers had. Cool review man, I love mine.
"It is so choice." Made me laugh at the end there, I reference that movie all the time and no one seems to catch it these days. I got mine yesterday and it is a thing of beauty. I saw your backpack storage solution, I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
Now that is sweet. I wanted to see this before I bought it, so yeah it is a must buy now. The only thing I wish you showed more of was teh articulation with the armor on. Other then that, great review.
how much does the upgrade kit cost? and could you do a size comparison with the upgraded UM with the original G1 UM side by side? thanks for this review
you can get the second release of the trailer on pre-order for about $90 not including shipping, but the actual ultra magnus figure might cost you more than the trailer itself either in a two pack with Skywarp or Optimus Prime.
Can never seem to get the arm-our to clip on properly, maybe I'm mssing something... Awesome piece of kit, and it looks fantastic alongside my TF Prime collection.
Sorry to get your hopes up, but too late do I realize I ordered the wrong thing. It's just the missile upgrade that you don't see in this video. ;P I'm still looking for the ACTUAL City Commander set...
you know after this video there's going to be a good couple of thousand of us looking for this upgrade peaugh- I don't even own ultra magnus (yet) and i still have to have this =]
Any tips on removing the leg armor easily? I've attached it twice without MUCH hassle... no stress marks or breakage, but I only ever removed them by disassembling each leg and unscrewing the leg armor panel to loosen things up. Seems a bit of work... there has got to be some easy way to remove the leg armor.
I got mine with the extra parts kit in the UK for less than £60. I was kind of expecting it to be fake for the price but I researched how to check it and mine is definately a proper late release fansproject one. IMO TF fans are getting better value saving the price of a few hasbro crappy deluxes and spending it on one of these instead. I like mine loads.
Hey Peaugh, massive fan man! Sitting up real late every night watching your reviews and adding toys to my check list, just wondering, Im not familiar with anything on Ultra Magnus except for the 1986 movie, but "City Commander", is that in refference to Metroplex, would be a great help its been on my mind for a while, Thanks - Aron
god I wish my classic optimus came with his blaster not the scoop but the smoke stack ones.... if for any reason you have a spare would you think about selling it?
First OMG that is the best classics figure ive ever seen!!! Second can you do a video with prime in the ultra mangnus armor? just to see what it would look like.
Can't wait for the Nemesis Prime version of the City Commander upgrade. Now all I need are Nemesis Prime, the Nemesis Commander, and a truckload of money.....
Just today received this set and the forearm armour has no intention of even beginning to "click" into place. Where does is click into in the arm? Can't see any locating point.
Bought mine before i bought ultra magnus himself...thinking (wrongly) he'd be easy to find as a simple repaint :P. Still, both are now safe and sound with me!
can you have a contest for a city commander ultra magnus upgrade? The ones on ebay are over my price. That upgrade would be purfict for my classic's ultra magnus. plz?
Is all of the city commander stuff just fan made or is their an official thing, like in the comic it had optimus and not ultra magnus, so i thought it was like he said an alternate universe.
I like this figure in robot form mode only....but vehicle mode.....it doesn't look like the g1 trailer. Will they make a trailer for him that look like g1 style?
o my god with all that armor and firepower he could literally lay chew optimus prime to pieces! great review i want him but thers a slim chance they might be all out lol
I had Ultra Magnus & Optimus from the Robots in Disguise series and they would transform together. I have no clue how I managed to put them together at such a young age, because I would never look at the instructions

Do you still have it
It has been 12 years after all

Purely awesome. It's cool that how some extra bits of armor can make a figure entirely different. I don't think I'll ever have it but it's beautiful.
So happy I preordered him. Awesome review and he's on his way.
mann i can't get enough of this figure upgrade. i barely missed out on it, and now the prices are insanely high.
I watch yor reviews all the time I want to give a thumbs up to all of them but finally I type to you.
That's really fantastic and your video quality is SO clear! How did you get it that clear? Man, I wish the total weren't so pricey, Ultra Magnus + City Commander set = beyond my current budget. Awesome vid = 5 stars!
Can't wait for my box full of awesome shows up! Mine's in Iowa now, waiting for its delivery to my home.
I LOVE the instruction/comic book idea! Everyone should steal that idea and run with it!
awesome review peaugh!
originally i wasnt gonna get him but once i saw your review and saw him in motion i just couldnt resist. worth every penny!

Great review buddy... Im new to the upgrade scene but now very tempted... Keep up the great wrk
Beautiful. This review has convinced me that I muse find some way to get classics Ultra Magnus and this set.
Wish they still sold this set
So bad ass, glad I got Ultra when I saw him at target those couple of years ago.!
"It is so choice." Made me laugh at the end there, I reference that movie all the time and no one seems to catch it these days. I got mine yesterday and it is a thing of beauty. I saw your backpack storage solution, I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
Why the hell did hasbro not think of this from the start. This is awesome and a nice new twist to a classic character. great review.
Okay, now I'm even more glad that I preordered mine. Awesome review!
Now that is sweet. I wanted to see this before I bought it, so yeah it is a must buy now. The only thing I wish you showed more of was teh articulation with the armor on. Other then that, great review.
Finally the review is up!!!! :D
I have to get classics Ultra Magnus and this upgrade kit :P
Awesome review, here's hoping they will make a trailer for Prime as well. G1 style w/roller etc.
Just got mine today! Awesome figure!
The upgrade kit for this City Commander kit comes with a hammer, among other things. It's not out yet, but you can preorder it at a certain website.
Bro You were the first thing i watched on youtube :D Think i rediscovered something
how much does the upgrade kit cost? and could you do a size comparison with the upgraded UM with the original G1 UM side by side? thanks for this review
did you see there repainting this set into shadow comander? also i got to pre-order shadow commander can't wait for him.
IT's an incredible piece of engineering, and it's a fans work.
cool, i got mines last friday, i just havent had the time to review him, he is a very cool figure, Nice job
holy crap thats sweet. imo this is a must buy if you have this figure. nice review
you can get the second release of the trailer on pre-order for about $90 not including shipping, but the actual ultra magnus figure might cost you more than the trailer itself either in a two pack with Skywarp or Optimus Prime.
Can never seem to get the arm-our to clip on properly, maybe I'm mssing something...
Awesome piece of kit, and it looks fantastic alongside my TF Prime collection.
mine's already been shipped ^^ city commander here we come!
I think the City Commander Trailer Set is definitely worth the money to get him!
Nice vid, Does Ultra Magnus have the same mold as Shattered Glass Optimus?
real damn shame the missles don't come with the figure, good luck finding an old set of them on ebay
what were the other liscence plate options?
Awesome, I can't wait for mine to get here... I new there was a reason I saved my G1 Ultra Magnus... lol
That is absolutely one of the best figs ever!!!
ordered mine today, got the last one from BBTS too :D
I just ordered this for about $30 for my Nemesis Prime figure. Can't wait to get it! >:D
Awesome review for an awesome upgrade!!
Sorry to get your hopes up, but too late do I realize I ordered the wrong thing. It's just the missile upgrade that you don't see in this video. ;P
I'm still looking for the ACTUAL City Commander set...
you know after this video there's going to be a good couple of thousand of us looking for this upgrade peaugh-
I don't even own ultra magnus (yet) and i still have to have this =]
im glad everyone finally has a use for the freeloader in skywarps box.
Now THIS makes getting the Classics Ultra Magnus toy worth it.
Did u get the reprolabel upgrade sticker set for the city commander armour

god I wish my classic optimus came with his blaster not the scoop but the smoke stack ones.... if for any reason you have a spare would you think about selling it?
OK!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Hands down!
Excuse me, Peaugh, but can you tell me who's "Pharaoh-tron" and what transformers character is he homaging?
First OMG that is the best classics figure ive ever seen!!! Second can you do a video with prime in the ultra mangnus armor? just to see what it would look like.
Apparently there's a way to stow the BFG on Magnus's back, so you don't need to set it aside for display.
where can you get this from? is it only exclusive from fansproject?
Can't wait for the Nemesis Prime version of the City Commander upgrade. Now all I need are Nemesis Prime, the Nemesis Commander, and a truckload of money.....
if optimus is wearing the armor, because he can, does that change the color scheme significantly? Or does the armor cover it completely?
will you do a review for pharaohtron
Just today received this set and the forearm armour has no intention of even beginning to "click" into place. Where does is click into in the arm? Can't see any locating point.
how much did this cost u and how tall? shorter than masterpiece optimus prime or same hight? ive ordered mine and its been shipped.
Bought mine before i bought ultra magnus himself...thinking (wrongly) he'd be easy to find as a simple repaint :P. Still, both are now safe and sound with me!
I love the review dude and prettysoon I will buy a new fansproject city commander ultra magnus thanks to yor review :)
please tell me where you got it
i just got my nemesis prime and im desperate after one
Where can one purchase this figure, or has it been discontinued?
I WANT HIM! but seriously where can i get it and how much is it?
Peaugh who is you're favorite transformers or favorite autobot and decepticon?
ive heard people calling it a kit, does that mean u hav to put everything together? the parts i mean. and does he come wth classics Ultra Magnus?
Is this at a store or off the internet?
can you have a contest for a city commander ultra magnus upgrade? The ones on ebay are over my price. That upgrade would be purfict for my classic's ultra magnus. plz?
so if there the same mold that means u can use teh shadow commander's armor to put on optimus or ultra magnus, that so cool!
Where did you get yours?
Are they gonna make an armored trailer for Shattered Glass Optimus Prime?
Is all of the city commander stuff just fan made or is their an official thing, like in the comic it had optimus and not ultra magnus, so i thought it was like he said an alternate universe.
aw man when is mine gonna arrive!?!? I can't wait...
do u no where to find a new or like new one of these? i wana buy 1
I'm glad I got him before he sold out. I got him for Christmas.
do you use these figures in a game or they just toys
does it matter if the doors are loose in robot mode and like to just swing down over the fists
Yep, it can fit on all versions of the mold
would i be able to still get this figure and if i can where at? please and thank you
The box might not be exciting,but the AWESOMENESS it contains more then makes up for it >:P
Bad Ass!! If i could find both i would buy them!
is the mold the same as classics optimus, or another optimus mold
I like this figure in robot form mode only....but vehicle mode.....it doesn't look like the g1 trailer. Will they make a trailer for him that look like g1 style?
do you want any of the add-on kits with the figure if you do which one.
o my god with all that armor and firepower he could literally lay chew optimus prime to pieces! great review i want him but thers a slim chance they might be all out lol
I like it but is it really worth the $80.00?
I had Ultra Magnus & Optimus from the Robots in Disguise series and they would transform together.
I have no clue how I managed to put them together at such a young age, because I would never look at the instructions
do you mean the shadow armour?
awsome review!its practicily a puzzle
how does optimus look in that getup ??
can you show us ?
in mass production SUPER COOL!
i just got mines today he is really nice!!!
Does the package come with the actual ultra Magnus,
@MyWariness what song?
where do you get kits like that?
Who's "Pharaoh-tron"?
what transfomer series is this from?
so can u also put that on the classics prime?
