    Well I like it, you could always make a add-on!
    (but that's against the rules of this project, KEEPING IT SIMPLE ;) )

    UPDATE4:
    Added Alt-Mode Digibash (might not do the stripes, don't know yet)

    Hmmm. Never thought of a kitbash of Magnus like that. Nice interpretation! :thumb

    thnx!


    UPDATE5:
    Since it will take a while for I get my hand on a classics magnus (or KO)
    I though lets make a few extra additions.. (still in BETA phase)
    Behold a G1 Magnus replica head, but with longer face :) 
    I'm also gonna replicate his original G1 gun, maybe add some details
    Here's the corresponding 3D-art thread: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...s-2-0-ultra-magnus-head-beta.html#post5810769

    Cool. :thumb 

    I've been thinking of doing some like this, considering the astronomical price a City Commander goes for nowadays.

    Well, looks like you finally got around to cloning yourself:) 
    That's the only explanation I have for your constent abilities to bang out
    custom figures like a machine.
    Seriously this is ridiculously creative man, keep up the great work.

    Well it was 1980's so I don't blame them at that given time, but for the Classics Prime & Magnus not having their trailers (and/or combine) :(  that's beyond me!!

    UPDATE6:
    Version.B Torso and shoulder joints/connectors + extra articulation...
    (I guess this will be the final version of the upper body!!)
    Can wait for a magnus so I can start on the legs, if the waiting takes to long I'm gonna find a solution with extra pieces + Lego and leaving the STAND-I Prime unharmed :p

    UPDATE7:
    Well obviously after being motivated by my buddy destrongerlupus I got back on this bad boy...
    still my Magnus has not arrived thus again using prime as stand-in so still no mods to the main figure :D 
    I have made an amazing discovery .... let the pics do the talking!!
    (it's hotglue so it can be removed to make G1 magnus trailer fresh and unharmed)

    NICE those leg connections rock! AND that makes the waist armor plenty easy to attach with all those exposed screw holes, brilliant!

    Though...now that I've tried it, it's rather hard to have him stand at attention, he's ending up a little splay-legged for my taste, hmmmmm.....

    Didja see my new foot design, I'm pretty happpy with the results :) 

    I still love your magnus across the board, and I'm enjoying the ways in which we're diverging despite the ame basic concepts :)

    of course I've seen it... I kinda think you method is way harder than mine :D 
    So I try to avoid having difficult ways to incorporate the whole package :p

    A little harder to fabricate, but it avoids the glue-requirement, which I want to avoid entirely...
