    Or 2 people that think $250 is kinda rich.

    (BTW, I haven't voted as $250 is too rich for my blood and honestly, I would prefer an OP w/ trailer at $100 US since I don't have any previous MP OP.)

    Umm, it's a fun poll on a toy discussion board, it still doesn't really prove anything. What people say they want and what they will actually pay for are 2 different things. Yeah, people want it, but many may not actually buy it...such is life.

    :lol

    Damn it, I keep forgetting to be very specific on these boards. That is what I meant. Would you buy.

    But even from want, you could gauge that. And I listed prices. So people are saying they would want it at those prices. That being, if they read the post.

    LOL.

    Another excellent point.

    Anyway, if TT is smart and does pay attention, they could still take the poll as another data point, one that is (probably) positive for those that want an UM. I've got nothing against that.

    A full-on MP UM with armor that looks as close as possible to screen accuracy would be a definite buy for me (assuming it's not outrageously priced ($250 is getting pretty steep, much more than that is getting into outrageous pricing, imo)).

    I'm all in for a MP Ultra Magnus...

    But I would not be offended if it was a new, self-containd mold...

    But my preferance would be for a trailer that turns into armor like the original.

    Always preferred my G1 Ultra Magnus over Prime as a kid (don't hate me!) and would love a proper MP Magnus in full armour

    there's no way in hell we'd get the trailer over here in america when takara releases it, it would be a huge flop

    So you voted no?

    Espcially when the thread specifically said a Dressed version. You know one with a trailer.

    So your voting on what you think vs. what is specifically being asked.

    Good one. :thumbs2: 

    BTW, Movie Optimus has a trailer. And was released here in the states.

    I will ONLY buy a G1 inspired Ultra Magnus if it's a singular self contained bot design, so my vote is obviously "yes". Never been on board with the whole albino Prime w/ add-on partsforming "armor" schtick, and never will be. It might have been a means to an end for the 25+ year old toy, but that's not Ultra Magnus to me. Plus I just think it's a discredit to Prime. Megatron never had his design recolored and passed off as a different character, and I don't think Prime ever should have either.

    Actually, I don't want either. What I want is a car carrier that transforms into a robot as a single unit like the Titanium release. That's how Ultra Magnus was always depicted in the cartoon and, darn it, that's how I want him depicted as a Masterpiece figure. Do I hear a second on that?

    no..i dug the fact that mags armor went around him...even as a kid i new his cab turned into a prime just by how simular they were in the cartoon movie..it kinda always was implied in my head..that was untill i saw my first magnus at the store after the 86 movie and realise i was right..

    Voted "no" in the poll, but it's really more that I don't care one way or the other.

    one, i didn't vote on your poll, 2, you want to know WHY the movie prime came with a trailer? because IT IS MOVIE OPTIMUS PRIME!

    there is no way we would get the ultra magnus armor over here for under $130, the market for transformers here in america and all could not support it. It just won't happen. whenever MP-10 comes over here he's already gonna be $80 probably, and hell, hasbro doesn't have to pay anything to design the toy, takaratomy has already done it by themselves, that is why they are so much cheaper in the first place. Fact of the matter is it will not happen

    I want a proper MP magnus, and i'll pay to import the japanese one, because i would want the armor. They're already working on seeing if it is possible so we just got to wait, but there's no way we would get that armor in america

    I definitely want a proper Ultra Magnus, (white Prime with trailer armour) just as long as the finished product is big and bulky enough.
