This, is my version of what I wish they could have repainted Armorhide as, obviously the base toy would have the same mold but the colors anyways it would have saved me from having to disassemble him and spray him piece by piece.
I also shortened his rifle so he can actually hold it up on his arm, I also striped out the missile gimmick ( I was reluctant, and am thinking about giving him shoulder missiles and using 2 of the red tips).
I decided to go with the idea that the Micromasters reformatted Ultra Magnus to a much smaller version of his former self, but still larger and more powerful then themselves in the hope that he could store and utilize the Micromaster Matrix to command and protect the Microsmaster Autobots.
This Matrix is but a shard of the larger and more powerful Matrix of the Autobots, but was still too powerful for any Micromaster to contain so they used Ultra Magnus’s spark and once again gave him the chance to use the Matrix as a Weapon against all evil.
