Ultra Magnus and Skywarp

Torque · 05-27-2008, 02:40 PM

ok, i have a bit of an issue, and i think this is the right board. i have no Classics Starscream, no Classics Prime, no Classics Skywarp, and no Classics Ultra Magnus. i found the 2 pack of Magnus and Skywarp, but when it was in stores, it was $20. the one i found is $30, but $15 shipping. if you were to buy the figures on their own at normal prices (deluxe at $10, etc.), it would be $30.

is it worth getting?

Yes. The voyager Prime/Magnus mould is top notch, and everybody (not literally) is clamouring for the Magnus, now there's the fan-made armour/trailer around the corner. Skywarp is kinda' okay also.

Skywarp is gorgeous... truthfully much better looking than Classics Starscream, with nicer paint apps as well (his face is actually painted silver for example).

Magnus looks as good as a white Classics Prime could expect to look. Also a nice figure. And yeah... he's more in demand now since the fandom is excited for the Ultra Magnus custom grade-up armour... though I'm sure most of us aren't actually planning on shelling out for that.

If you don't have any versions of these molds, I'd say go for it. In Canada Deluxes are $15 and Voyagers are $30, so it even with the shipping it would only be retail cost by my standards.

good to know, good to know! and i was buying it for the Skywarp myself-the Magnus is an added bonus as i dont have that mold either. thanks! anyone else's thoughts?

also, anything really bad about the 2 of them?

No they are pretty well done. THe Prime/Magnus figure is very well articulated, has a interesting transformation and is well armed. THe only thing missing is his trailer really. THe seeker mold is another cool mold that has decent articulation, an innovative transformation and a great updated paint job. Both are a great figures to add to your collection.

I'd take skywarp over magnus but both are great

awesome! i may even redeco Magnus if i feel i dont like him-like make him look like the box art lol

also, if the price was $50, still worth it? trying to have a backup plan, and therre may be that as an option as well

even if you dont have them, please, speak up-i could use all the input i can get

Definitely worth getting. IMO Skywarp is visually the best release of the mold. Ultra Magnus is just another white Prime, but it's a great mold. So yes, I'd totally recommend it.

My only warning is about the classics seeker mold is the tight hinges the rudders have. I accidently stressed mine on a Starscream and Skywarp from folding, causing them to crack.
