    How does a cheap model made of reused parts confirm he's in the show? I mean, he's just Optimus with shit slapped on him.

    Maybe he'll appear briefly in flashback or something, or have a bit part like Makeshift.

    I really don't think you get what I'm saying or saw Orion Pax part 2. Orion googled Optimus Prime and an image similar to this Magnus appeared. I don't remember if it was suppose to be an evil Optimus or the oh so evil Ratchet Megatron mentioned.

    magnus needs to be a main character honestly he should be the autobots leader not prime but that's just my opinion.

    I'd agree with this, but look what Seibertron posted:

    I feel this is the extent of what hasbro meant by IDW toys.

    And what the hell is with that jetpack? Does Optimus know it's cheating on him with his long lost brother?

    I'm utterly and irreversably floored by Mechafire's eloquence of response :p 


    Still, interesting pics. Magnus looks quite funny in that colour get-up :lol

    Are you sure this is from Seibertorn? Because I checked on the site and it's not there.

    This looks more like a third party upgrade for the RID Prime mold or a mock up for the first design process of the Ultra Magnus figure from RID. I do hope that's not going to be on the show because why don't they just use the RID version instead? He still looks Prime like yet has his own mold. If Ultra Magnus is Optimus's twin brother but made upgrades for himself then I can go with that. After all they did explain Dreadwing and Skyquake being twins for a reason.

    So they used a prototype version of Prime for the prototype version of a 3rd Party upgrade.

    And a mock-up of RiD Magnus, with features not presant on the RiD toy?

    Sorry Kaijuguy, THIS. IS. (Beast Hunters) MAGNUS!

    Oh okay thanks. I couldn't find it. Well this is a shock. I was expecting them to use the RID mold.

    From the looks of it you may be right. I'm a little bummed that they aren't using the design from the RID line because he's his own mold and not a retool nor repaint of Optimus. Then again he has traditionally been a repaint and retool to begin with so in a way it's like a homage and not a case of laziness. I mean in some stories he was Optimus's twin brother after all.

    If this doesn't confirm the Walmart Voyager UM earlier, nothing will, lol. Overall, I like it. The only thing I don't like is the Viagra missiles!

    Since you quoted Driskull, I naturally assumed you were referring to the image Driskull posted. The image Driskull posted is not Nemesis Prime or Warlord Ratchet.

    I don't think the image Orion "googled" was supposed to be Warlord Ratchet. As Orion Pax, he already knew who Ratchet was and what he looked like. My opinion is that Soundwave just redirected him to an image of Magnus (what could be Magnus judging from the shoulders) so he wouldn't recognize himself as Optimus Prime.

    I've seen every episode of this series more times than I'd like to admit, actually... :redface2:

    I'd quite like that too, Cbff. It'd add some nice tension to the Autobots, especially with Optimus presumably out of comission.

    One day at Hasbro...

    Guy 1: Hey guys! Look! We've made this totally AWESOME Ultra Magnus design for his RID toy! LOOK AT THIS! HE'S NO LONGER AN OPTIMUS REPAINT!! HOW COOL IS THAT, AMIRITE??

    Hasbro Execs: :/ Fired. Bring in the new guy!

    Guy 2: so hey guys how about this, we take the RID mold of Optimus instead of the FE mold, add some clunky armor bits to it that wont look good in either mode and aren't removable, and just totally ignore the coolness of the previous design and pretend like it never existed. Also, to get people to actually buy it, we throw in the forge of solus prime to boot.

    Hasbro Execs: BRAVO, BRAVO! NEW DESIGN MANAGER! PROMOTIONS FOR ALL
