Toy Review - Masterpiece Ultra Magnus

[philby]

I got mine today and I love it I never owned an old Ultra Magnus, the only one I have is the Fall Of Cybertron version and I haven't even taken it off the card yet.

I haven't had much time to play with it much, just transformed it once from robot to car carrier which was enjoyable but slightly fiddly at the same time. nothing too bad though.

I'm not sure where people are getting the 'bland' from, he's got sculpted detail all along the sides and back?

I will agree on a couple of perhaps 'missed opportunities' in that the arms don't quite get down to the lower level of the trailer and that the cab/trailer aren't interact-able with the MP-10 cab/trailer.

other than that though I love it, he's huge!

This figure is fantastic and is a awesome masterpiece addition to the line.

thank you for the detailed pictures

I really hope Takara/Tomy produce Galvatron and Cyclonus.

cheers to all

As predicted, Reprolabels has released a rather large add-on set which enhances UM substantially. At $22USD a pop, it is a fairly high price for a set of stickers for what is an already expensive toy, but well worth it in my view.

I might actually bite on this. Magnus looks way too plain as is and applying just a fraction of the stickers used will go a long way to improve his aesthetics!

Finally got this guy at TrU. Looks amazing on the shelf. As with all my MP's he'll probably never get transformed as I just find the experience too stressful!

My only small gripe (apart from the sprue marks) are the white shin panels. They are meant to sit in front of the blue tabs on the lower legs but in that position they are quite loose. I'd prefer to tuck them behind the tabs as a few others have demonstrated in photos. Any downside to doing this? It makes them super tight but I don't wanna stress the panels by tucking them behind the blue tabs.

Cheers.

I found this to be one of the easiest and interesting transforming Transformers. You might be being too soft on the toy.
