    Personally speaking, while I am glad people are happy with this figure I prefer the Siege/Kingdom mold due to its armor gimmick.
    "But when would you ever display it in white Optimus mode?"
    Probably never, but I find the act of suiting up the smaller figure a fun experience in of itself.

      This, the armor gimmick is literally my favorite thing about the “white Optimus” versions of Magnus, heck, my holy grail for 3rd party toy purchases when I can do it will be one of the versions of fansprojects city commander armor for the classics prime mold, tho real tall, the siege version is better than the kingdom, I’d probably get this version for a proper g1 Magnus

      @@HerohammerStudios Not saying people don't. I was actually quoting a relatively popular TFtuber whose opinions I normally agree with bar this one. I too appreciate the bright blue (cyan?) on the stark white. I myself however find myself displaying him in armored up mode as then I don't have to keep track of all the parts.

      @lorcannagle Год назад +2

      I got Nova Prime recently, my first encounter with the Magnus/Galaxy Prime mold and agree here. The central robot really is just Optimus Prime but in White instead of even getting a new head to make him look like Nova Major, so there's little appeal of displaying him like that. But the act of slapping the extra bits on him is quite pleasing so I find myself removing the armour and putting it back on. There's a similar vibe with loading a Macross toy for bear, but those guys are big and finnicky and a bit fragile so it's more of an ordeal than this.

    While I'm not exactly the fondest of CW Magnus as a figure, his visual design and character in the comics remains as possibly my favorite incarnation of the big guys, and maybe even my favorite Autobot.
    I'm awaiting my copy of SS86 Magnus, and I'm hoping I enjoy it as much as I saw in this video!

    Ultra Magnus is my second favourite Autobot, behind Elita-1, so getting this MAJESTY in hand was a moment. I almost cried because it's everything I ever wanted and meant I could finally, FINALLY, get rid of my Siege Magnus that rotted behind SS86 Wreck-Gar for almost 2 years. Unless we can ever get a TFA Elita-1 that BECOMES Blackarachnia, Magnus is my favourite figure ever. But come on Hasbro, give me Cree Summer's magnum opus, GIVE ME ELITA-1 TO BLACKARACHNIA NOW

    I had the contrary feeling towards a figure I got recently.
    I got my hands on the comic colour Grimlock from Newage and it felt great to have a figure that just ticked every box and was the be-all end-all version.
    Problem with some of these studio series figures is that what they do, they do great, but what they do is a little boring.

    Well aside from the trash talking of God Magnus, I adore my grump emo child.
    I will say that I am honestly super happy for people who wanted all in one, but between the chest width and the lack of White Prime means the 86 Magnus is one of the weaker versions of him for me.
    Still worth the money though, all Magni are.

    I have both 86 Magnus and kingdom Magnus and i resolved the issue like this:
    86 goes to my "death of optimus" shelf with all the caracters that were in that scene
    Kingdom Magnus goes in my "multivers" shelf were most of the non G1 legacy stuff goes. And i LOVE the inner robot so i removed his armor.
    Honestly, it more a question of what you want out of your Ultra Magnus. 86 is the Magnus I ALWAYS WANTED when i saw the movie back in 2004.
    Ps: neat video ^^ i like to see how people organize their collections.

    I'm pretty sure those annoying tabs at the top of the white spokes are supposed to go up when in robot mode to help keep the arms from swinging apart if you don't move them at the shoulder, but that might just be how I rationalized them (they aren't super effective at it, if that *is* the case).

  • @Dshotinthefacepirate

    The main thing putting me off getting this lad is I got the Takara version of the combiner wars fella back in the day. It's the one with red pants, like the long gone original from my childhood that's also long gone, and it's one of the first ones I got back when I started collecting again... so I've a lot of affection for it! So it's very unlikely I'd replace it, and if I got the new one I'd just be switching back and forth between the two. He does look great though...

  • @AlexReynard

  • @originaluddite

    I have very few of these toys but still have opinions.
    RID Magnus does have a distinct vehicle look that I prefer to the original wide open carrier design.
    Siege Magnus has this really interesting transformation step in which a particular part slides away from one section and onto another section, and it's like something Mr Rubik might have invented.
    The Combiner Wars Magnus (which never really had anything to do with that play pattern) has a unique look from back when Generations was still about giving things a fresh twist.
    And, yeah, I dunno about Monsterpiece Theater Magnus, I feel like Studio Series might have topped him.

    Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus has an optional upgrade kit to swap out the truck for an actual white prime that is full transformable, some knock off company made it. I enjoy the full Ultra Mag treatment and got rid of the silly cab w/ mini-figure.

    I’m the same! Ultra Magnus is my favourite Autobot ever besides Optimus Prime.
    Besides MP22 I think SS86 Ultra Magnus is the closest to the G1 cartoon as you can get.
    I wish the shoulders could have been designed so it could have compressed a bit better, but it doesn’t take away how great the figure is. Also some peg slots so the guns can be hidden away. Rather than on the arm/pylons which makes it looks cluttered in truck mode
    I’m considering even buying another just as a spare in case something happens to my first. Or am I just being paranoid or finding excuses to buy another?

It's like someone who'd never seen Uncle Magnus designed it while having the character described to him. Which, given what happened with Legacy Black Convoy, may well be the case. I'm glad, however, that so many people seem to love it. That's why restaurants have menus, after all.

Also in my mind Ultra Magnus is a white Optimus Prime wearing armour as far as I'm concerned Kingdom got it right.

    The G1 Magnus with all rubber tires will always be the real deal. He’s a brick with ok arm articulation and a swivel head if you ‘modify’ him, and has weird hollow eyes, but the animation model is so close to the toy that it feels right. I would like a reissue in movie accurate colors using the new G1 articulated prime and actual hip and knee joints on the trailer legs and lateral shoulder articulation. Who knows if that will be even more expensive than the new prime and trailer tho.
