ssg4life:
found this guy today at target here in colorado. i will say that this is the second sighting in colorado, though
Bumblejazz:
I haven't even found the original Ultra Magnus...
Dinobot Nuva:
Nice to see we're picking up the ball, but I haven't even seen Shadow Blade Megs out here yet. Think I'll pass on this one though.
G1Wheeljack: 
Why couldn't they get rid of the blue on him, he'd look so much better.
Orion_Prime48:
yay? and how sad ive not even seen the regular one or Cyclonus or Hound or Starscream in stores yet......
all are dead:
alomst 3-4 days ago it was sighted in california but i will pass on it..
Omegus Prime:
Wow, that's still ugly as sin... I was hoping something would be changed by the time it hit retail. Oh well, it'll be a great wall to hide Dinobots and Hot Shots behind if I find them while I'm broke.

huh, i don't remember seeing that. and i couldn't find anything about another sighting
DieMaus:
Pity us poor Brits, then; it's looking increasingly likely that we're getting this thing
instead of the original Ultra Magnus. That's all kinds of suck.
Bgrngod:
Not sure why they bothered with this repaint when the original figure is still difficult to find in plenty of areas.
And, it's just a weird color scheme. I realize it's an "homage" paint app, but it only makes sense in alt-mode. Bot-mode looks very much screwy.
ssg4life:
it would've been a much better repaint if they hadn't left so much blue on him, especially not even touching the head
Rodr-Evil:
No head remold?
Optimus747:
It's too bad that one of the best Animated toys got one of the worst repaints I've ever seen.
Shadowblade Megatron is awesome, though.
Maximus_Prime:
*sigh* still haven't found regular Ultra Magnus yet...
ugh
NGW:
God he is ugly.
I've seen the original twice at retail, sadly without the cash to pick him up either time.
I will be very sad if it comes to me having to get this one over the show accurate colors because it will be easier to find/the only one available.
kwickstrike:
i saw this guy two weeks ago in ventura california along with shadow megs. didnt think it was a new sighting
Bahamut Prime:
Not the best repaint I've ever seen - we probably needed a new character and mould named Roadbuster than that.
SPLIT LIP:
<-- So happy I got the original. This repaint could've been cool were it not for the blue. seriously, I don't know why they thought that would work. That's not hyperbole, I'm dumbfounded. Ever semi-logical explanation I think up is countered by the hard fact that it looks like ASS.
245am:
i'm assuming he has the same spoken phrases, right?
SmokescreenGT:
I like the Roadbuster color scheme, but the blue head ruins the whole look for me. Pass.

No, now he just says "I'm a big rolling turd! Roll out!"
Just kidding, yeah, he's got the same phrases if Shadow Blade Megs is an indication.
Lucario Prime:
FFFUUUUUU....
Man, Hasbro Canada...
Really screwed up.
kenm2474:
Mega Pass on this one. I know Hasbro likes repaints but jeez come on!?!?

Me neither, what the hell! why is that? Anybody else never seen the original ultra magnus in a store?
Oric:
the abortion that never happened....
trashtalk:
Simple repaint job for a skilled customizer.
Sucks for the rest of you poor bastards that don't know how to paint. lol
Dom:
Trouble with crap like this is ratilers don`t distinguish between crappy repaints that shelf warm and decent original stuff that sells well.
Autovolt 127:
pass..........i already have the original and love it

Yes there here in MD found a couple in TRU, Walmart and Target. I guess the TF frenzy is dieing down here.
AMG:
I'm passing on this repaint, not impressed with it at all.
Rayzilla Prime:
I'm not picking up any Leader class repaints, especially since I don't dig repaints on Leader class figures. That, and I've been to four or five different Wal-Marts and never found even a hint that they had the regular Ultra Magnus on their shelves.
ssg4life:
i can confirm that the quotes are exactly the same for both figures
BlueAngel_Bolt:
I have the original, but im a sucker for roadbuster. Ill wait to see one in person before passing judgement.
Kimmer:
i really don't see the point of this guy or shadow blade megs. two complete wastes of money imo. i predict they'll both be big time shelfwarmers and be on the clearance rack in the very near future.
Automorpher:
1 mold of that is good enough for me.
Now "Move along, move along!"
kenm2474:
I look at RB Magnus and cry. "Hasbro" - Lets Repaint Ultra Magnus. What paint do we have left? "Hasbro Employee" - We have light Brown, Baby Blue, and Green. "Hasbro" - Great use it.

thats okay but what about repaints of leader toys you wanted but couldn't find the original color scheme of?
Zaraxion1021: 
This is such an ugly repaint. It's like the elite guard bumblebee. They can't the same paint of the head.

FOTFL
TriBlurr:
Can we get the bio for this one please. I don't think we've seen it yet. I'm curious to what the fiction explanation for his colors.
CamAndXAutobot:
that repaint sucks balls the original is unuf for me worst repaint ever looks like through up
CamAndXAutobot:
he sucks like hariey balls

Grimwing:
The local K*mart got a massive supply of 10 blue magnus!
But I got mine back in november from target for $30. What a coupon!
I'll pick up the roadbuster magnus since it is a fine mold that deserves repainting. I honestly don't mind the blue since it is magnus in roadbuster armor.
Hasbro gets that do to the distinctive look of the animated heads they are difficult to portray as other characters (animated skywarp's inappropriate smirk) and instead are repainting characters under different situations.
probably would look great center shelf with multiples of universe roadbuster.

Following his experiences on Earth, the most powerful AUTOBOT warrior became stronger and more cunning than ever before. The tactics that ULTRA MAGNUS used to employ on the battlefield were textbook AUTOBOT Academy stratagems. Battling on Earth made him realize that the fight against the DECEPTICONS would take more than Academy programming to win. To achieve final victory, the AUTOBOTS will need to fight smart, or they might as well not fight at all.
Apparently, part of fighting smart means painting yourself like a plate of peas and carrots.
ogscorpion:
I've been seeing this toy in my local WalMart here in Moreno Valley, CA for the past week.
Alexander Quinn:
Now it will only be four more months before us Canadians need to pay an extra fifteen dollars for him. Sigh.
