    Created from a Generations Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus, I heavy damaged Ultra Magnus with parts of his armor broken off, exposing wires and his inner white cab. I also replace 1 of his knees to show off the inter robotics under the panels. His head is made from the leader class and a classic magnus, that i put together as the magnus armor is being damage showing his normal "white prime" head under it. He has fully articulated hands with 3 points articulation on each finger, and also ball jointed ankles to better stand in dramatic poses. He has been fully repainted into G1 Colors and heavily weathered throughout, especially around the areas of the big wounds.
    Ultra Magnus still standing even after a huge Decepticon attack. This piece showcase his strength of his armor and also how he will not be stop easily.

    Very nice battle damage!
    Does it still transform?

    Although it pains me to see two beautiful figures destroyed, this custom looks awesome.

    Head on a pole and I believe this could have been done without losing alt mode (assuming it doesn't transform) but those damage effects look really nice from the mods to the paint work. ;)

    Sixshot's off-camera eh ?

    Great work btw !
    Convincing battle damage isn't that easy. In many cases it looks over the top - in this case it looks
    severe but still credible.

    The battle-damaged head revealing a Prime head makes this.

    Beautiful work!

    I'm certain it doesn't since there's a chunk of classics Magnus where the cab would be.

    It looks like it was made by NECA!

    As I seen by now... because of the modified parts he doesn't transform, right?

    Truly amazing. That white prime head under the Magnus is such a nice touch.

    Really magnificent piece,Xaviercal. I love the damage and mods. I'm curious as to what you used for the ankle tilt though.

    This is awesome. You should have him hold the matrix.

    WOW.. this is beautiful. i absolutely love that head. this is definitely one of, if not the absolute best battle damaged transformer i've ever seen.

    a lot of the times it seems people go overboard.. but this figure looks perfect. not too heavy handed, but not too little that it looks unchanged.

    great work.

    Wow, great work! I LOVE how you did the head! Only minor criticism I have is that the neck looks a tad long, and makes his head look as if it's somewhat floating. Besides that, one of the best battle-damaged customs I've seen!
