Generations Leader Class Ultra Magnus /w Minimus Ambus

I can't wait to get one.

Look at the little door on the side of his truck cab... I guess that truck cab alone is easily 5 stories tall. :p

I'm actually more excited to get this than I was getting MP UM. Loving that futuristic cabin.

There is nothing wrong with my reading comprehension. Your attitude, however, leaves much to be desired.

So I guess shops with citizen staxk are now stuck with him.

• In the Immortal words of Ron Simmons (APA): "...DAMN!!!" :eek:
• I think it may finally be time to retire the long standing greatness that was the "FansProject-Enhanced" '06 Classics Voyager "City Commander" figure! :o
• Ultra Magnus just looks incredible & given that his weapons combine to form the Magnus Hammer AND a Legends Minimus Ambus is included? - WOW! :eek:
• Here's a demonstration video from the floor of Toy Fair 2015 that shows how Minimus is placed within the chest cavity of Ultra Magnus! ;)
• Here's a photo passed on by Peaugh showing the various weapons combined in the form of the Magnus Hammer. :cool:

Wow - I didn't realise Minimus was gonna transform too - this figure is bitchin!

(I don't even know what IDW Magnus looks like in truck mode to know how accurate this toys is.)

The cab in IDW is based off of animated prime's earth mode

A video posted on youtube a couple days ago shows how Minimus goes into Magnus, and explains who Minimus is in the IDW comic.

It also mentions their attempt at having more toys (where possible) be scaled in one of their modes to 1/144th scale... which is a common model scale apparently... for the customers and for diorama displays.

That video is MUCH clearer than the one I linked to in my thoughts post, such a cool gimmick that with a little retooling/sculpting - we could conceivably end up with a modern Powermaster Prime on our hands! :D

Having a "Soft"-scale with their figures is a great thing to move forward on, not expecting everything to be totally accurate but the attempt is certainly welcomed. :)

So, 1/144 huh? Ok, given Movie Optimus is quoted as 8.5 metres tall (28ft), in 1/144 scale that would equal approx 6cm. So a leader class figure in that scale, would, "in real life", be over 30 metres tall :eek:

They didn't think this through.

If that door is 1/144th scale, that is one hella huge truck.
