MP Ultra Magnus Official Pics

[kurdt_the_goat]

Ok well, disregarding the effects this'd have on vehicle mode and transformation, this is what i would have preferred:

- No buttflap
- Blue lower legs
- Thinner side of leg armour
- More defined feet
- Red tail lights and colouring on trailer ramp.
- Slightly longer legs

I feel like if you combined a few aspects of each design you'd really have the ultimate Magnus.

KFC did a very good job (of their design at least) - mostly with the proportions, but lost it a bit in terms of pure G1 accuracy and definitely the face sculpt. I think if they had the same structure and transform, but used true G1 look instead of the CHUG aesthetic, it'd be pretty much perfect. Knowing that Takara would go pure G1 is probably exactly the reason they went with the approach they did though.

I really like how they handled his legs the most - the MP by comparison looks too City Commander-ish - like he's standing on platforms instead of having actual feet.

I do think the MP will be nicer in person than the pics let on though - like how MP10 Prime looked a bit gorilla-arms in his photos before release, but really doesn't look like that once you have him in hand.

I think the CS get away with better looking legs as his feet are two toned as well. Makes him look like he has boots on, whereas MP just looks a bit 'blobby' for want of another word.

Your PS pic actually does look pretty good and makes him look more streamlined and more details. although i dont remember his feat being so small.

Can someone post a good pic of magnus from the cartoon to compare?

See, one of the reasons I dig the chunky feet is the theatrical poster to the 1986 movie. IMP Awards has a pic: http://www.impawards.com/1986/poster..._the_movie.jpg

Yeah someone on TFW said the same thing! I can agree that the original is more accurate, but i have a personal preference for normal looking feet, not lumbering slabs

Totally understandable and I definitely dig your digibash. I think it likely comes from the fact that IMHO the 1986 movie is the best thing outside the toys. I never really got into the comics or anything, and as such, love the MP line for its pretty solid attempts at going G1 cartoon accurate. :P
