    I must admit, it is the best UM I've seen produced so far. (As a figure not an upgrade kit :p  )

    I am interested and will keep tabs on this news.

    So the cab doesn't have its own robot mode? Excellent. I like the fruity pose.

    I'm glad he's not a plug-in Prime.

    Looks to be a custom built of styrene at this point. Could be just a one off, or this is how some figure get produced... very interested to see the progress though.

    Not bad I would say, trailer maybe a bit stretched out, but not bad for firstish looks.

    Nice. Carrier mode could use a bit more detail and a thinner middle.

    Sticking with my City Commander. I guess if you are going for the older skool look its good but I like a more modern feel.

    Not bad, for a voyager-sized fig. Curious to see how sturdy the joints are.

    Looks okay. If I had to guess, judging by the technique, I'd say it's by the people doing Soundwave and blaster

    It's okay, I suppose, but The lack of the inner bot is disappointing.

    Whose Magnus is that?

    That's a very, VERY nice toy.

    I have to admit. I can not make out the transformation on this guy. The cab seems to completely disappear.

    Does anyone see how this thing transforms? Care to share?

    Thanx

    It almost looks like it follows the Titanium Magnus transformation judging by the pictures.

    I'm always interested in original Magni, and like to support th third parties, but it seems everyone is staking their claims on pieces. I'll get excited when items are imminent, and not 18 months beforehand.

    I'd rather wait and see what Takara comes up with
