    The Blue Magnus Chronicles

    magna-convoy-1.jpg

    post-268-0-69578600-1532424577.jpeg
    Magna Convoy (wiki)
    Maguna Konboi (love that style, I hear that screamed as he Transforms)

    Originally a non-sentient drone created for combat support, Magna Convoy was infused with life by the dying leader of the Primus Vanguard. The blue knightonium which adorns his body carries remnants of the leader's power. Magna Convoy's purpose is to retrieve the stolen Matrix Sword and bring the traitor Straxus to justice.
    (wow Knightonium)

    300px-PoweredConvoyAnimated.jpg
    Powered Convoy (wiki)

    Over 30 million stellar cycles ago, Powered Convoy ascended to the rank of Magnus and established Fortress Maximus, which remains to this day the headquarters of the Cybertron Elite Guard. Though P.C. Magnus led the Autobots for millions of stellar cycles

    mp_31_delta_magnus_powered_convoy_11__60996.1457359268.1280.1280.jpg
    Delta Magnus was the leader of the legendary Primal Vanguard, He and Ultra Magnus are both members of the House of Magnus

    Note: MP Delta Magnus is Powerdrive in the Delta Magnus Armor like Ultra Magnus and Ambus, or inner Magnus. Except Powerdrive was the original Delta's friend prior to taking up the role.

    post-268-0-69578600-1532424577~2.jpeg

    Thus:
    Combat Drone -> Recieved Life Essense of Primal Vangard= Magna Convoy

    Powered Convoy -> Rank up to Magnus = Delta Magnus -> Leader of Primal Vanguard -> Death -> Powerdrive Inner Delta Magnus


    What if:
    Magna Convoy + Armor = Powered Convoy. Circle complete...

    I spent a lot of time and made a much improved version of unarmored Magnus in Diaclone colors:
    Magna magnus 2.png
    I made sure the colors didn't bleed and cut off like the last one, and I made the colors closer to the Magna Convoy figure. It's also a transparent PNG.

    This took a long time, so I don't know if I'll do the armored form, but I would like to.

    Great work!

    I had hoped that CW Ultra Magnus would get a redeco as Delta Magnus/Powered Convoy but the Seige mold would be exceptionally perfect for it. Especially if the inner robot looks as good as this.

    Good work. If we got an inner Magnus even close to that it would be insta-bought.

    I really hope Hasbro thought of this. I imagine even the summer limited editions are already designed at this point.

    I thought POTP Nemesis was beyond boring.

    Hasbro should do what Lego does and have fans design repaints and vote on them...maybe not, never worked out for me.

    I wouldn\'t mind if they just used a more mottled plastic instead of splashes of \"battle damage\" that don\'t flow in any mode.

    I wouldn't buy any of them if they did that.

    Same here, because at least alcohol can remove the "battle damage" paint.

    Optimus' B-damage looks the best. In fact its an enhancer.

    Sideswipe B-damage looks the worst.
    I do not agree with that thick an application.

    Doesn't mean I won't pick up SS

    Has it been confirmed whether the Ultra Magnus gun will be gray for the US release?

    Don't forget that Takara ones use a different packaging.

    Yeah. They’re the same figures man. It’s not changing. The packaging is the same as well. So much the same it’s only difference is continental stickers.

    From what I saw in other threads, the Takara releases also lack product codes stamped inside the arms and legs. Minor difference but at this point I've decided to import purely out of spite for Hasbro distribution so it's obviously not a primary concern.

    On the height of siege Ultra Magnus, if Voyager Optimus is 17cm tall like Classics Optimus, and Siege Ultra Magnus is 8 inches (21cm) to the stacks, does that mean its head height is only about 19cm to 20cm?

    So in MP or 3P terms, it would be around the head height of MMC Tarn (20cm), Maketoys Striker Manus (19cm) and MP-27 Ironhide (21cm)?

    Shockwave might be the same too, bit I suspect Voyager Soundwave and Starscream to be a little be shorter than Megs and OP. Like Studio Series, there will be height variability within the size class despite sharing the same price.

    This is the only Rodimus I’d be willing to buy at this point.

    Actually now that I think I’d love if they made one in kiss players colours since we are seeing some interesting hints towards that with the kremzeek effect part. I hope we get some kiss players stuff from this line.

    kremzeek is G1 creature
    I think HASBRO would want to distance themselves from Kiss Players...
