The Tagoal blog has updated with some in-hand images of Transformers Adventure Ultra Magnus. Adventure Ultra Magnus is the first Japanese release of this toy which the rest of the world got as a part of the Beast Hunters series. It features a deco more closely inspired by Ultra Magnus’ appearance on the show, with a darker shade of blue and some extra gold paint on the Forge of Solus. Check out a selection of images, including some comparisons, attached to this post.
Spumoni Dingo
I'm aware. I just think his alt mode would look slightly more bitchin' with them.

You do know that Prime Magnus does have smokestacks nor needs them.
If you want to use him for a Classics Magnus….well wait for the new Generations Leader class one.
Spumoni Dingo
Are there any third party smokestacks that are compatible with the mold, or will I need to find a PRiD/FE Prime to reappropriate them from? I know he doesn't have them in the show, but I feel like they'd really help the toy.

^ Voyager Class.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, back the truck up!
Weaponizer Platinum Magnus is the TF prime leader class Magnus, and this adventure Magnus is the TF prime BH voyager class? Or are they both leader class?
Furnace
So glad I didn't get the hasbro version!
Turakonin Prime
Still no smokestacks !!! And does anyone know where to get those kind of display stands for less than the cost of a limb?
YoungPrime
Meh, this is a pass not that I was ever interested in this thing to begin with.
IDW Magnus is coming!
Shin Densetsu
From what I've seen in screen grabs, the Hasbro one is actually the more accurate to the show.
HOWEVER, I like the Takara one better. Much more vibrant and more contrast. Plus it's a color match for the Generations deluxe FOC Magnus and the Weaponizer Platinum Magnus(both of which I'm a fan of). This one is good for fans that missed out on Beast Hunters voyager Ultra Magnus.

No, but there was a peg on the head portion of the Hammer so that you can use it like a gun.
MisterGuyMan
It needs a gun. Did the original have guns?
Flexx Ark
I'm so torn on this one. I pre-ordered and cancelled several times. I'm a huge Ultra Magnus fan and Iove the Prime mold, but I'm not sure this is different enough for $45; even if it is improved (minus sticker).
Afterburner
They had me at painted rims.
Rockdown
That looks really good. 2015 is the year of the Ultra Magmus.

Basic decoration is not "premium". We're so used to lower than bottom of the barrel paint budgets that when we see at an acceptable minimum effort, we praise it.
Ooohhhh. Painted rims! Surely this is a toy for a king!
NemiMonkey
He looks pretty good with that darker hue. Not a fan of the actual figure so won't be getting it.
Looks like this one Amazon.com: Buying Choices: Bandai Hobby Action Base 1 Display Stand (1/100 Scale), Clear
Which is apparently really popular amiami and HLJ are both backordered.

Awe man. This is not the ultra magnus news I'm was expecting but ok. His colours are pretty cool.
jamarmiller
makes you wonder if Takara Tomy will hold off on the combiner wars Ultra Magnus this year to not flood the market with Ultra Magnus toys.
I hope not, Id like to buy the takara tomy one for my boys b-day

Good to know. But the rest of the Warrior Class and Legions have those holes.
Autovolt 127
Dark Blue is one of my favourite colours ever, anything looks good in that deco…compared to the brighter shades.
If i didn't already own the Beast Hunters version, i'd so get the Adventures version.
Wheeljack and Smokescreen had white colour schemes…and Ratchet too.
