I can't make heads or tails of the photos linked, and will still need YouTube to transform it, lol.

Transformation is nice. Can't wait to get this guy. Such an impressive looking figure!

Magnus is not officially out until the 27th, thats when HLJ will ask for money

^This.

I've still got my MP22 preordered on HLJ plus Hasbro AU has promised me one; I'm expecting both in January. I'm curious to see which one I'll get first.

[CoRDS]

i really hope someone releases some new hands for this guy.

This may be a silly question, but does the TakTom MP Ultra Magnus come with a Matrix? He's got the matrix holding hands (as above) and I've seen pictures of him holding a matrix and a matrix holder in his chest, but does he have his own? Or does he have to borrow MP10 Optimus Prime's matrix?

[xlojnr]

From what I've read you need to borrow the matrix from your Optimus or Rodimus. (both variants/sizes will fit for Magnus)

Remember, he's not worthy of the Matrix... and can't open it anyway, so doesn't deserve his own.

Perfect.

He is really just a caretaker anyways. 'Just a soldier'

Ultra Magnus does not come with a Matrix. The instructions say that you need use MP10's.


Alright, I just spent most of my morning translating MP22's bio. Here is the original Japanese version:


And here is my translation. Enjoy.

Ultra Magnus toured the ravaged areas of Cybertron, as a Stampbot Ultra Magnus marked his army's emblem in his role as an administrative official. A magnificent warrior, Ultra Magnus was assigned to Earth where he took command of the Scramble City project, which saw the completion of the wondrous giant city robot, Metroplex. Afterwards, Optimus Prime appointed Ultra Magnus as the next commander, but for whatever reason, Ultra Magnus was not chosen by the Matrix. Ultra Magnus acted as an interim commander until he handed command over to the one who had been chosen by the Matrix, Rodimus Prime. From then on, Ultra Magnus used his experience to support the young commander. Ultra Magnus was given the authority to command, but he did not feel that he had the ability to do so, acknowledging that he was just a soldier. For this reason, Ultra Magnus was supportive, always around to listen to the complaints of a worried Rodimus Prime. Seeing Rodimus Prime's talents, Ultra Magnus became respectful and loyal towards him. In his later years, Ultra Magnus, along with Metroplex whom he'd constructed, charged himself with defending Earth, which he loved and died for. His body was buried in the Earth's ocean. However, many decades later, a resurrected Optimus Prime used the Matrix to rebuild Ultra Magnus. Returning as Laser Ultra Magnus, he stood against threats from across the galaxy. Ultra Magnus' motto is, "Fairness is victory." Possessing a just and seriously strong will, Ultra Magnus is a heroic warrior who is beyond reproach and is willing to sacrifice himself for others. Respected by his enemy, Cyclonus, and adored by his fellow Autobots. While lacking in humour, Ultra Magnus is a Transformer who abounds in excellence.
