Takara Henkei Ultra Magnus exists!

Cal · 08-15-2012, 11:05 AM

Aye, I saw this on eBay earlier and I figured it to be a KO. I'm still not convinced it's legit.

Cracka J · 08-15-2012, 11:10 AM

did any type of documentation come with it?

it's kinda hard to back up a claim as a proto without any paper trail at all, and nobody having any knowledge of this things existence.

We will have more definitive answers when the time comes.

I will keep everyone updated. Also the KOLD Convoys do not have Chroming on the Grills from the pictures I have seen.

Did the canceled Wonderfest Black Convoy include chrome? I don't recall it doing so.

Anyways, I'm very curious to see pics of this thing too. Since no one's ever heard or seen this before, I'm thinking it's possible its a very well-done custom or a KO of some sort (no offense), but hey if it's legit, that's cool and I'd be more interested to know why Takara never followed through.

Was there any further light shed on that blue Henkei Bumblebee that randomly showed up and no one knew where the hell that came from? This Magnus, if legit, could end up along those lines.

He does not

Nice Ultra magnus though. I don't think I'd bother putting him in the CC armor because of the white legs. It could look cool but I love how FP highlights the details on the sides of his legs by slotting them into his boots.

If it's bogus it will be missing some ratchets in the body - it seems to be legit as it's not the KOLD mould you usually see it's got the proper head.
But bogus or not I still like it a lot. It's especially nice for City Commander - I suspect it's either legit or it's a new mold based on the new version comming out that has Ankle tilts and a different grill - that ones has a decent head so with the vintage parts in it still it could pass as a legit mould.

But if that is not the case I'd say it's what it pre-ports to be.

Man, he needs some paint for his eyes.

But legit or not, he looks pretty awesome. I love the white and teal Optimus look. I wish they'd bring it back...

I have my doubts on this as well. I hope it is legit so you did not get ripped off but id not touch it with out some documentation to back up the claims about it.

I will be interested to see more info on this.

Looking for any version of Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime or WfC Prime, blue Armada Firebot and pretty much any BM Vehicon or Energon Terrorcon molds, or JustiToys Dinorobot or Junkion Blacksmith's Tactical Officer (or Hyper Mode). Also looking for Armada Tidal Wave's missiles. PM me if you have any spares of these please!
