    I find this version of Ultra Magnus interesting, I'll wait to see him in his actual colors cause right now, his prototype's colors are throw my opinion off (if that makes any sense).

    Uh, of course it could be a different interesting toy altogether, or even a different interesting toy altogether that isn't Ultra Magnus. Don't attack a strawman. I don't hate the fact that this figure (apparently?) exists, but you have to admit it's counter-intuitive! Since uh, no other Voyager BH figures are retools from earlier lines, and we just got a 100% new UM in that class and continuity.

    I hadn't studied the matter in such detail yet. :)

    Wha......., ok so I guess it's fair to speculate that the rumored Weaponizer will also be a Retool of Weaponizer Optimus, and maybe the Cyberverse will be a retool of Optimus; I guess it can work for Cyberverse because my local TRU has at least 15 Optimus Maximus'es left, and it would look more silly without a pilot.

    Wait this is based on the Comic? as well as Ser-Ket? I wonder what other secrets lay in the Comics

    Here goes...

    Magnus makes a quick appearance and gets killed. OP gets UM's hammer and some extra power ups. Thus, we get this OP.

    That's certainly...interesting. I wonder if this'll mean he'll be getting a new Cyberverse figure...I'm kinda happy with the one I have, but based on just the sculpt of this figure, I would have a hard time passing up a Commander sized version of it.

    I don't own the rid mold so I would be fine with picking up this version of Magnus.

    Someone posted the same photos in the toy forum and pointed out that it appears to have AM ports in the arms (so it's based on AM Prime). This might be a Takara thing, like KnockOutscreen.

    The hammer looks like The Forge of Solus Prime, even on the comic book cover. Wouldn't it still be in the ruins, then?

    Something about this really doesn't look right to me. And a lot fo people have pointed out the reasons why.

    If this is official, I'm thinking this is more of a proof of concept prototype then it is something we're actually going to see come out. Kinda like that makeshit Human Alliance prototype that was made out of a Voyager movie Ratchet.

    absolutely. This is a unexpected and very interesting development.

    Hard to follow their logic, where they are coming from here.

    I was thinking the same. Like maybe Takara thought it'd be cool to come up with a Magnus armour prototype, and then a week later Hasbro tell them, oh by the way we're doing a new mold voyager Ultra Magnus.

    Sometimes they seem a bit out of the loop, the stuff they come up with.

    For everyone thinking this in an Arms Micron thing.

    A. Magnus wouldn't have the hammer.

    B. Magnus wouldn't have the missiles.

    The torso looks HUGE compared to the lower body, but that could just be the drastic color contrast messing with the perception.

    Looks good but the main thing I worry about are the hips; they are prone to looseness over time on RiD voyager Optimus. Hopefully they'll be fixed on Magnus
