    one thing though is that I have both RID Magnus and RID Prime (the same basic mold as BH Magnus) and stood next to each other they are the exact same height for me, but you said you liked the RID better for the height...can you explain?

    I don't really know how possible that would even really be considering UM's shoulderpads. The way PRiD did it, they're just attached to to the prime shoulder pieces and can be stuck on the back in truck mode. FE's shoulder cheat puts that part of the truck on his feet. The only part that would really work out better with that would be the fact that the cheater windshield would be accurate to bot mode without messing with the truck's.

    Assuming you have FE prime, I'd think PRiD retool helps distinguish him a bit better from him besides. Then again, I feel FE is a little overrated (it is a great figure mind) and PRiD's truck looks way better anyway.

    I think Beast Hunters made a mistake. (In my eyes)

    As we all know, they made a Deluxe Dreadwing. That's cool and all, but giving the fact Silas DID reappear in the show, and the US lacks any kind of Breakdown toy, the spot Dreadwing took should've went to Silas. That way the people who couldn't afford the AM Breakdown (or Silas Breakdown) could get SOMETHING.

    yes.....but no, I like the new Dreadwing, but what they should have done is made a deluxe breakdown in place of the BH Bumblebee repaint that is in the last wave, we REALLY didn't need another Bumble Bee this time.

    That or an Insecticon. BH's biggest blunder is that final wave.

    He doesn't matter.

    Check out last page, I posted pictures of RiD Ultra Magnus next to BH Ultra Magnus, the height and just overall proportions are clear there.

    Make the shoulder towers detachable with pegs that plug in where the swords/gun goes on FE Prime, which would also make the screen accurate junk Magnus always had back there. If I had skills with a 3-d printer I'd ive it a try, but it's a dead dream right now. plus I don't even care if it'd transform

    Like I said, I like the Beast Hunters Magnus, but my preference for the FE remold would be for it's size (FE Prime just scales better with more figures while BH Magnus looks good only next to certain figures). If they could take what they did with the BH one and blow it up, that'd be even better. I just can't stand looking at my Magnus in my group of autobots and he's so... weird. The head, the overall size, etc.

    Well I feel the FE is a better straight on representation, with the only real improvements being from the RID would be the wheels actually being on the back, the truck mode (but to only some does this matter) and the added shoulder articulation. You can count cheating too, but I think cheating is fine as long as it hides what it's cheating and earns the desired result...so FE Prime is awesome, but on RiD Ratchet and Cliff, it's still too obvious. And BH Smokescreen...ugh.

    Anywho, let's move on and not get into that nonsense again!

    Same head, but will have a lightbar. The parts around the hole for Smokescreen's weapon in vehicle mode are separate pieces from the rest of the roof. and conveniently rectangular.

    Leo Prime is so cool. Opted to instead use the Maximal stickers instead of the Autobot ones, and it works quite well. And I'll take Moon-I mean, L.P. over Thundertron's Powerizer sword thing any day. I'll take pics later. Maybe.

    Just happened upon this guy on my way home from work, and I am totally digging him. Just a quick pic with my iPad so quality isn't much.
