KFC not Ultra Magnus

I agree. I was excited for this UM until I got the 2 cassette combiners. Unless there is a dramatic increase in quality there is no way this will be worth what they ask for it.

Just opened up my Mugen Vox and I suspect QC hasn't increased to the levels you'd hoped.

Good to know thanks. Looks like I'll be skipping this.

According to Peaugh over at TFW, this will be shipping out next week




Still no word on price or quality though. Or coloured shots of alt mode. Still, he managed to keep that quiet.

hmmm from what I can discern from the pic, so it isn't a separate cab robot that combines with the trailer, but rather the cab folds in the trailer and makes the whole body into the robot. That's a good way to get around the bulkiness and armour getting in the way of poseability problem if it was made into a robot cab which is then fitted with the trailer as an armour. I wonder if Hasbro/TakTom are doing the same? Although I wish they do make the white cab transformable into a robot (on the official MP). Pretty bold of them to release this figure when there is indeed an official one coming.

Thats very interesting to see how the toy was designed.



-the top of the trailer becomes the shoulder and arms
-the bottom middle of the trailer becomes the the thighs and folds into the legs at the rear of the trailer
-it looks like the bottom front of the trailer folds into the cab

I do prefer the white Optimus Prime inner robot with trailer armor style but from a design/engineering view its very nicely done.

I'm still getting MP Ultra Magnus over this though.

He's big.

That's not bad, they have set a benchmark at least that Hasbro will need to surpass.

I too wonder if they will be able to incorporate the cab robot without compromising the combined form, but I guess we will see in time.

Do want, that looks pretty amazing. I want him in my Generations collection though
