    Compared to a leader toy from ROTF, Animated Magnus is a piece of cake.

    I'm kind of glad that Hasbro are making the Dark of the Moon toys less complicated. There are a LOT of Transformers around nowadays where I just can't see a kid having the patience to actually transform them.

    agreed. probably the feedbacks for the rotf toy line weren't all that good from kids parents.. iirc in the 2009 generations books one of the designers mentioned that takara and hasbro had set the tone that they would start to prefer designing "fun and creative" ways of transformation rather than more "complex and screen accurate" transformation

    The transformation isn't that complex however the shoulder joints on mine are still ridiculously tight and feel like i'm going to break them off using such force.

    dude has a point, TFs are waaay too complicated, I love that, but it's horrible for kids.

    Yeah Ultra Magnus is pretty easy, effective but easy. However I can see how it's size can be a bit of an issue for kids more than it's design complexity.

    Personally, I'd say it's all dependant on the age of the child your buying it for and whether or not patience is being taught as a virtue.
    They do include difficulty level ratings for a reason.

    As I don't own the figure, would you say that the 'Level 3 Advanced" statement is accurately indicative of the conversion DD? - In Your Words?
    I ask because I know that some Classicsverse figures I've felt have been rated much higher than what I would've thought.
