    I paid $40 for Optimus version at Target so Magnus is very overpriced at $79. Looks cheap and nasty also.

    Do his shoulder pylons have to sit out to the side in alt mode? There's no way to tuck them towards the back?

    No, they just don't rotate that way. It doesn't really bother me, but it does make for an odd truck.

    It's not chromed, but when has Hasbro chromed anything outside of the Masterpiece line recently? I hate chrome (which is why I skip a lot of Takara releases) so it's OK for me, but I can definitely see how you'd feel a bit cheated given the pricepoint.

    It looks like they took a crummy mould and made it even worse. Guh... I'm not sure if I wanna wait until this toy goes on sale, or just go and import a BH Voyager UM. :/

    Probably the best "turn an Optimus Prime toy into an Ultra Magnus" toy so far. I'm glad the "white repaint" era looks to be over. And I think this toy shows that TF:Prime Optimus Prime toys would look better without the faceplate. Thanks for the review Billygoat.

    I can't see myself getting this. The shoulders are a vital part to show accuracy but the limited edition price and weaponizer gimmick don't do it for me.
    The BH Voyager is fine when you remove the winged backpack.
    But the red tipped rocket of the PRiD Voyager is quite nice. If only it came with two such rockets.
