Wish i hadn't but now this is coming out (maybe) i have some hope for the figure.

    There is a reason why Magnus is my 3rd toy when he should of been first.

    I bought Magnus at a Target in Bankstown (I think) and when I got home, I realized that the toy had been swaped for random parts of some other none TF toy, possible those cheapo ones from chinese stores. I got annoyed as back then Bankstown wasn't exactly close as I lived in Miranda and on top of that, it was the last one. I tried my luck at returning it at Target Miranda which had one left in stock and thankfully they accepted and I got it exchanged for the 'real' one they had. Naturally I opened it in the store to check contents before I took it back to the register.

    They had 2 one opened and one sealed. I took the sealed one. If i had of been paying attention in the store i would have noticed that the tape had been pulled off then reapplied.
    Oh well..The more you learn

    I think it would be pretty cool if the designers teased/hinted at future toys like that (having the pic of Rodimus and Magnus on the wrist communicators). I think though, as opposed to a straight-out reveal of what is definitely coming (by having both be upcoming), I'd have one image be true and one be false, to have the fans guessing until the correct future toy is confirmed (MP Rodimus). That'd be more fun for the designers, and hypes it up more as fans debate over which one is more likely to be released next (in this case, odds would have suggested the creation of add-on armour and re-release of MP-2, as it would have cost less to create and be more profitable - but now we know it is MP Rodimus instead).

    My main concern with the idea of an MP Magnus trailer compatible with the original MP Magnus toy is the price. Although I guess they would make it similar to City Commander in terms of having an armour that you basically pull apart and reassemble as a trailer.

    The price would be hefty but worth it more so then Optimus Prime trailer that didn't include Rollar. I payed $250 or so for my MP-4 so can justify spending a bit extra on a functional trailer/ armour for Ultra Magnus who at present is rather boring.

    Pffft Magnus, but I want a Decepticon.

    In the non Transformer section, didn't Igear announce something like this too?

    I hate humans. After that, I'm surprised you ever decided to collect a second Transformer at all. Glad you did!
