E-Hobby Shop has put up a preorder page for Transformers Alternity Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus will be a white redeco of the existing Alternity Convoy mold, and will use his Alternity powers to not only deal with it right now, but three days ago two dimensions away (from the other side of the universe for good measure). He will be released in September, although preorders will close on April 25th. Alternity Ultra Magnus will also be available at "Transformers China Carnival" (provisional name, subject to change) in addition to E-Hobby.

It is likely that there is a plan to sell besides e-hobby in an event meeting place in China.

Ahhh..... after the lack of one in the Movie and Animated lines, another white-Prime-as-Magnus actually feels somewhat.... refreshing? Like a familiar food you like, but haven't eaten in a while.

Should make that Reprolabels Jazz conversion kit all the more tempting, as well.

So white Prime (with blue face) is officially accepted as Ultra Magnus in Japan as well?

Ssssssh! We only just got past the Megatron/Galvatron repaint thing.
Hiro Prime
I expected something like this was gonna come up sooner or later. It actually looks pretty good. Now let's hope they'll do a Thundercracker too. (and maybe a green Megatron as Bludgeon.)
Cheem The Rup
always the same horrible repaint choise

So is his Alternity power that he can deal with multiple things on different planes of existence, all at once...But not right now?

Now all we need is a custom Jazz head.

I was wondering the whole time why they didn't do this instead of the silver one.
RedAlert Rescue
I don't mind as I think it's probably the best mold anyway. it's not got fall appart legs with huge gaps in like Megatron or an awkward chest like Cliffjumper - it's not got 4 eyes like Starscream.

The only problem it has is a lack of a hand weapon and slightly weak pegs on the back of the legs that can fracture.

The only problem is that I wonder how many people thought of the Silver Convoy as Ultra Magnus already anyway.

If E-hobby wanted to be Useful they be doing the following :

The MIA Heroic Black Henkei Convoy (with red windows) basically like Jafcon Convoy, THS-02B, Nucleon Quest Super Convoy, Robotmasters Black Convoy & Masterpiece Black Convoy etc.... (heck they even made a black bottle cap convoy).

So I'd like that to come out someplace before they loose the mold down the back of the sofa.

I'd also like to see stuff more like this from E-hobby :

Henkei Detritus,
Powerlinx Henkei Hotshot,
A Pinkish Brown Henkei Dinobot Or Dalmation striped Grimlock (made from henkei Dinobot) a Blue Classics/Henkei Grimlock
A Blue Henkei Ramjet
A Decepticon Air Trooper (as seen in the cartoon)
Henkei Sunstorm
Galaxy Force Voyager mold (Pre-earth) Ramjet, Skywarp, Thundercracker.
Henkei (USA G1 toy based Edition) A Henkei Astrotrain that is black & purple
Henkei Cheetor as Shadow Panther (pre-Transmetal Ravage)
A Henkei Cliffjumper (with a new head)
Henkei Ratchet in Movie Ratchet colors
Henkei Ironhide in Movie Ironhide colors / (Diaclone colors)
Voyager ROTF Desert Ratchet (in tan colors like the Legends toy)
One of the more recent Bumblebees Bumblebees as Cliffjumper or Japanese movie 1970's Bumblebee as Windcharger or Cliffjumper.

Heck I could go on for 3 times the maximum post limit... but you get the idea.

Perhaps it's blowing up his own space craft then crashing the leftovers ?
Draven
Oh look, a white Convoy, How terribly boring. Pass.
Rod
I hope we get a re issue of the red prime
Autobot Burnout
Meh, we all knew this was coming. I'd be more interested if the head was retooled, but oh well.
Backscatter
Sighs: Even Alternity is vulnerable to White Convoy-As-Magnus syndrom. Most likely more expensive than regular Alternity as well. Pass. I don't need to complete Alternity that badly.
SmokescreenGT
While not terribly original, it still looks nice. I never got this mold so I may consider picking Magnus up if the price online isn't too bad.

Apparently

Aww, those crazy back-story Alternaties...

Hmm, looks decent enough, and for that being a neat homage, id buy it!

Although, a newer car/ robot design would have been more appropriate. Say a mini-van/ pick-up truck ala Binaltech Prime/ convoy. :/
LUGNUT1995
just another crappy prime repaint
Chris McFeely
Well, that was fairly inevitable. Given how repaint-happy Alternity is, it's something of a wonder it hadn't happened before now! Looking forward to seeing how crazy his story is.

The little finger on his left hand explodes suns before the big bang even happens!
Omegatron
We never got an Alternators Prime-as-Magnus, did we? Me smells exclusive.
SydneyY
So the figure will be released first in an event in Shanghai in July, then from eHobby in August. Also this one's comic will be done by Mr. Hidetsugu Yoshioka like other recent eHobby exclusives, not by Mr. Hirofumi Ichikawa.

I love this mould so happy to get a white one (I don't necessarily consider him as Magnus) to go with the black version. Still think silver Convoy looks better though!

...and not a very inspired mold either. Personally, i think i've had my fill of it.
The_Black_Sheep
Ugh. I thought HasTak had moved past the white prime repaints. Obviously not... -_-
G1Wheeljack
And how did I not see this coming? Still, I hope we get a crazy bio to go with this.
U.Magnus80
I don't care what the haters think. I want, I want, I want........but I've never had anything imported before. And I can't read Japanese. How I do this? Wait for a BBTS preorder?
Slimaximus
Now I haven't bought any Alternities yet, but refresh my memory they are about the size of the classic verse deluxes right maybe a smidge bigger, if so I finally have classics Jazz lol
kajobaldisimo
3 of this mold is enough for me. and im not liking white on this car. maybe if they make a bugbite. i like white suzuki swifts.
Empir3
MEH i think this will be a pass. They should have maybe done this instead of the silver one in the first place.
SpicyRichter
I like it!

Now where's the 3rd swift repaint?
shibamura_prime
About time! Speaking as a Magnus fan, consider this bought. :3
Tekkaman Blade
I may get that and convert it to jazz.
Deefuzz
I want it, but my real love comes from here.

YEAH!

once you go black you never go back
PoweredConvoy
I love these figures, this mold, and the Ultra Magnus color scheme.

It's been a long time since we got a white Optimus as Magnus, that I'm very happy to have this.

Randy
Eric
Looks neat.
Nightrain
I still think the silver is the slickest so I'm definitely passing on this.
Bgrngod
Very nice! But now my Alternity collection is going to be all lopsided. 4 of this mold, 3 of the Megs mold and only 2 of the CJ/BB mold. Maybe if the seekers mold gets up to 5 I can be satisfied with a staircase affect from stacking up the boxes next to each other....but enough about that.

This color scheme looks fantastic!
juise
Who didnt see this coming? Especially when you consider Nissan sells this car in white, and they are being Nazis about color matching on the GTR.
Megatronwp38
Wow, havn't seen this repaint scheme in a while. Before this, what was the last white Prime repaint released? Classics UM?
Maloknazh
I dont have any of the Alternitys yet. Might wanna work on that
blackout501st
well, i never got prime or megatron or any of their repaints, i guess i could hit on ultra magnus. i was planning on getting cliff anyway after starscream
mizuki088
Wait a minute,
You have Red, Silver, White.
We have to get a GOLD version.

I can tell you were just dying to type that.

Hell yes!
TedimusPrime
It's certainly not fantastic, but it's not bad either.
CowColor
OMG i want this now.
saberconvoy
it looks cool
but for some reason i was not expecting it
