    The red legs make him a more tempting purchase for me. Weird that Japan got the red legs and the US got white. Glad I waited. Would have rather had Albus, though.

    I actually like the Hasbro version more than this... The Hasbro Version's shade of blue is better IMO, and this has too much blue.

    I think this guy looks better than the Hasbro version. I actually like the darker blue. Some company was doing an upgrade kit for this guy so hopefully it will be out soon.

    I like the darker blue but would have preferred white legs. I'll still pick it up though.

    Takara Magnus looks good; we need comparison pics with the Hasbro one, please. I have yet to see a Hasbro one in person, but this looks better in darker colors. His rifle is also much improved in white and his wheels are finally painted silver. I really wouldn't mind having both. :D

    Not a fan of the red legs. Glad I got the Hasbro version.

    To be fair, that's because that Optimus Prime's legs becomes a trailer that can hold Deluxe figures.

    Looks good, definitely keeping my pre-order. Alpha Trion will be tossed aside so that Ambus can take his rightful place, though. But... I think "slightly more accurate" isn't a good description; he is very accurate to Season One Ultra Magnus.

    Wow, it's rare I don't like the Takara repaint, but for once I don't. The G1 figure detailing looks weird on the IDW mold.

    Still, good figure overall.

    Looking good, red pants and all! Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus seems a little jelly though. :D

    True, but Magnus can hold two deluxes or four scouts/legends.

    And Hasbro wins again. There's not enough white to break the red and blue together. Plus, that Alpha Trion figure is useless.

    I really don't like the yellow on the knees and shoulder pillars.

    Other than that: aces.

    I'm the opposite: I love the red legs, but I think I like the blue on the Hasbro version a bit better.

    But I'm not going to get this anyway. If it were bigger than leader Megatron I would, because Magnus has to be bigger.
