Doesn't look as good as I thought he would, but I reckon he will look better as the toy continues to be tweaked between now and it's release. I'm certainly not putting a stop to my pre-order of Mags :DQuote:

I don't know what the majority are talking about. Magnus looks right at home next to YOTS Prime & Cloud Brawn.
I take this any day over Eva mp 10.Quote:

it would be good if they can do what they did with G1 convoy to MP convoy.
but lets wait until more pics are released and we'll see
Why is everyone so put off by this one pic of UM when most of us were drooling over the earlier prototype pics where he didn't look so "fat". I'm sure in time, better color pics will surface and have us all drooling again. Surely it's just a poor angle.
most likely is - i'm surprised people go to these things with such bad phone cameras...Quote:

Paintjob looks a bit sparse to me, like the shins ought to have the touch of red seen in some illustrations (admittedly not the cartoon). I think his inner legs would have been better white and blue on one side perhaps? Maybe the red works in vehicle mode though.... and it's maybe early/hand painted so i guess it could change. The buttflap is barely noticeable though :)
The prototype also looks like it's becoming a bit worse for wear (shoulder joint, should missile panel) resulting in the dodgy posing. Here's hoping there's no real issues or they have time to iron them out before release!
I'd say it's paint isn't completed, as the G1 toy has some stikcers for the shins. That's a lot of white otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if the tag in the bottom right corner of the photo above says "This sample is a WIP and not the final item"
There's got to be more paintwork on him. The chest, waist and shins all look unfinished. I think placement in the display limiting photo ops (this one looks much like the crap one from before) and floppy prototype is all that is causing the fuss.
I still say BRING ON THE MAGNUS!
