    Except that the Voyager is basically the Cyberverse toy upscaled, in lighter blue, and with more articulation. And a slightly crappier hammer.

    I found this guy for $17 at Target with very low expectations, but immediately after taking him out of the box I loved him. He has great aesthetics and the light blue really suits him. He has a gorgeous headsculpt, as well.

    Once you take the batteries out of the hammer, it actually looks great and solid. It also looks really good if you get him to hold it two-handed.

    Can someone please tell me if the G1 Ultra Magnus or Fansproject City Commander missile launchers will fit Prime Voyager Ultra Magnus' shoulder peg holes?

    Thanks!

    I keep meaning to try this, but haven't.
    They are standard 5mm pegs, so they should.

    Please let me know if you try it or not.

    I'm thinking about buying either a set of G1 Ultra Magnus Launchers or the Fansproject City Commander Launchers but, I need to know if they fit or not because I don't want to be stuck with them if the don't fit.

    If I can remember to do so tonight, I'll try it out and take pictures.
    Sometimes what I say now is lost 5 hours from now. :)  I'll do my best to remember.

    I haven't tried this yet but I was just brainstorming: I wonder how the smokestacks/mufflers/whatever from FoC Optimus would look in the "missile slots" on Ultra Magnus' shoulders. From just looking at the two on the shelf back and forth, I think it might look pretty cool.

    I really wish this guy came with 2 missiles.
    Glad to see the G1 and FP launchers fit in well, though.

    I thought the same, but with one hand holding the gun and another arm the missles it looks fine, they don't look very good on his shoulder.

    Finally just found him at target. Gosh darn hes so good! I love him! And also you can sling the hammer on his back. Also hes the perfect height to fit.in with a classics season three shelf. Just needs silver paint on his ears.

    I love the design of this character, and the hammer/gun is awesome, but MAN does this feel like a ripoff! I paid $30 for it and it's the lightest, most transparent-looking figure I've ever owned. I mean, I hold him up to a light and it looks like he's a ghost! And it feels so light and cheap. It's a decent figure aside from that, but my god it feels like the value has gone down in the last couple years. I'm not mad I bought him, but I sure wish it had been $10 or $15 cheaper.

    I'm glad I've been holding off on almost all the prime figures (I still love those cyberverse commanders though!). I don't think I'll be getting any more unless I see an FE O Prime around somewhere.

    So now that I've had a bit of time to mess around with him, here's what I think of Magnus:

    Pros: Posability especially due to the fact that he can hold the hammer with both hands, AWESOME HAMMER, great character design especially the face, decent amount of paint

    Cons: Feels very cheap, most boring transformation ever, they didn't even try to hide the legs in vehicle mode, arms are weak and can't hold the weapon, feels so incredibly hollow because he is

    Verdict: Get him on sale, but he's not worth full price. The hammer is awesome, and I like the design of the figure, but he just doesn't feel like he was worth the money at all. I got him for $30, wish I had paid $15, but I still would like to own him, mainly for the hammer :D 

    Just a side note that a paint error on mine actually makes him look like he has a black eye which looks awesome and adds even more personality to the face!

    You think this toy has a decent amount of paint?? In robot mode I'm pretty sure the cyberverse has more..

    Guess I'm just used to even less paint from recent figures. But I think he looks decent. There could always be more, but then I'd just be let down even more. I'm definitely gonna add some myself, but I've done that to almost every TF figure I've gotten in the last several years.

    Plus we don't yet have anything to compare him to in terms of show accuracy since he hasn't been on the show yet. I really hope he comes around early in season 3! One of my favorite Prime designs for sure, and he hasn't even been on the show!
