I think there's no rush for me to pre-order that now that I have seen it in colour.:confused:Quote:

Awful angle, awful pose.
Still psyched for this figure.
I just think this figure looks terrible, i always wanted a mp ultra Magnus but I will not be getting this figure. He looks good in truck mode, but if I was to display him I would want him standing next to my mp10.
Same here, I have no idea what are the people here complaining about.Quote:

Citizen Stack does it by putting the extra bulk into height. But KFC uses terrible plastic.Quote:

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:

Not enough money to afford better, too much plastic crack on the market.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!
It says that it's a sample for photography purposes, so it's not the final product. Keep calm and duly enforce the Tyrest AccordQuote:

Those shoulder joints look really, really small.

I was thinking the same thing, the one we can see looks way too small to hold that arm over time.Quote:

if he comes out that fat on release date i'll definitely be put off..... dont really want a fat bot on my display :) I'm surprised that glass didnt crack.....
:eek: good point.. keen eye there Cbatron! y'er right though..... magnus shoulder looks like a weak point with his fat arms...Quote:

I'm getting a Motormaster vibe from the "uncoloured" prototype behind it though... which would be an interesting redeco if they did one.
what...?Quote:

That's what I'm thinking. The angle and the pose are emphasising the upper torso's bulk.Quote:

+1 :D :cool:Quote:

Imagine how much that boxset would cost...
That would be awesome!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :DQuote:

Looks alright from the start to end.
Had a quick search but didn't find anything...
Anybody know what postage for this from nippon-yasan will cost? Tried on the webpage but it didn't show.
Cheers!
What are those pieces between the colour version and truck mode? Are they add on pieces?
if they did that I'd be really disappointed. It wouldn't be a Masterpiece line anymore. I'd hate for Breakdown to be a recolour of Sideswipe - he needs to be a proper gestalt.Quote:
