Leader Class Ultra Magnus images

The third wave of Generations Leader Class (Ultra Magnus) looks to be out soon, as someone in Taiwan has one, and posted up photos of it, in and out of packaging.
The bio on the back is actually referring to the IDW comics, to explain the purpose of Minimus Ambus.


I'm also surprised that it is coming out so soon after Thundercracker (which was just a month ago in Asia)... but it is good to have the Leader class catch up a little on the smaller size classes, so that we might see wave 4 of all size classes come out at the same time.

Wow...so soon after Thundercracker... a bit surprised really.

It does look VERY good though

Robot mode is hot, but truck mode, very bland. Meh. Cab looks like nothing and the wheels look too cheap. Some silver on the hubs would have gone a long way. Plus anything done to the cab would have gone a long way too.

Ultra Magnus has just been found in multiple stores in America, just two weeks after Thundercracker was instock at online stores in America and in retail stores in Canada... but the funny thing is, Thundercracker hasn't been seen at American retail stores yet, so Ultra Magnus came out first (or Thundercracker is so limited that it isn't going to be found in many places).

This could mean that both could show up here at the same time as well... if we see some restocking happening soon.

A video review of the toy.... and this one as well.

This sums up my thoughts exactly. Man the truck mode looks incredibly plastique. Glad I'm going for the TT version.

I haven't watched the videos yet but the official pictures have me thinking Pearlescent.

I was determined that I was just going to stick with the Hasbro version despite the lackluster colours as I was expecting it most any day now. Now BBTS has pushed it back to late June I've decided to jump ship and go for the Takara version - pretty much the same cost anyway.

Nope. Nowhere near pearlescent, Snowflake white.
