    Go look at his online instructions and come back and tell me he ain't complex. He's not ridiculously intricate like say, a Masterpeice, but why be complex if you don't have to be?

    I mean, he has the entire side sections of his vehicle mode in his legs for cryin' in the sink, not to mention the nutiness with the arms.

    This is no deluxe and I'm surprised you could honestly be fooled by the pictures. (unless you took one glance, dismissed it and moved on)

    Looks like a keeper to me.

    I'm most impressed that all eight wheels of the vehicle mode end up hidden in the lower legs. Heh, the facial expression and the ventriloquist dummy mouth for the talking action make it so I can't help but think of a Terry Gilliam animation voice - "BLAH BLAH BLAH BlahBLAH buhBLAH BLAH BLAH!" (big foot comes down)

    That guy is a longtime member here and used to do one of the checklists, he certainly knows what he is talking about. As for complexity, in general the higher you pay, the more complex people expect the transformation to be. While Magnus is certainly more complex than the dissapointing Supreme Cybertron King Starscream, some of us expected a bit more. I love how it won't be a pain in the ass to transform like certain Alternators that were just for the sake of complexity, but we want something that has a pleasant transformation; neither too complex for its own good, nor extremely simple like Cybertron Starscream.

    Looks good to me.

    I'm glad the transformation isn't so complex that it would take 10 minutes or so. I don't buy the figures because I enjoy the time spent on transforming them.

    Also, if Transformers are marketed to kids, as we are repeatedly reminded, a complex, time-consuming transformatioin on a $40 figure is not a good thing. Kids will complain, parents won't be able to help, and that leads to angry consumers.

    I think he looks awesome!! Not $200+ awesome (at least for my bank account), but awesome all the same!

    Can't wait til all the reviews start up and of course when I get him in my hands (which probably won't be for quite awhile lol).

    What a relief!

    I was getting tired of all those blue & white Prime repaints.Also,the expensive "club exclusive" trailer kits you have to buy to make your Prime repaint into U.M.
    Finally,an all original Magnus.:thumbs2:

    One of the better looking Animated toys but still a pass for me because of the toon/younger kid looking factor.
