Our friends and sponsors Big Bad Toy Store dropped us a line to let us know that preorders have now opened for the Leader class Combiner Wars / Generations Ultra Magnus – a Leader class version of the duly appointed enforcer of the Tyrest Accord, who also comes with his own little Minimus Ambus figure! BBTS has him for preorder now, with an expected release in May 2015, priced at $46.99. There are also some new product images to check out!

I like this Ultra Magnus and I've already pre-ordered him, but Oh his back is so hollow and cheap looking! His trailer interior suffers more than his bot-mode; at least he seems decent in both modes otherwise. Hasbro designers are trying really hard to give us great figs under strenuous budgetary constraints. I say, dump the cost-cutting measures and set the designers FREE!

Bot mode on him actually nicer in these pics than what we saw before. The truck cab still looks really derpy though

Sold. I was going to sit him out, but then I saw Minimus.
I'm sure he's plenty cool, but I hope to Primus gets a third party version that's super articulated. And maybe even has an even teenier robot inside Star Saber style.

Looking at the video i can tell you the REAL reason for not keeping Minimus Ambus in the cab when switching to truck mode: The "Magnus" head fills the cab! Will have to have him in hand to see if there is enough space for both in there at the same time…..

Do you really think Ultra Magnus is going to be one of those pre-orders that rapidly sells out and goes for crazy amounts on eBay? I used to think that about Jetfire, and look what happened.

Why can't you keep both?
What would he be embarrassed about?

I don't remember paying any sales tax in the past to BBTS…pretty sure I didn't just like most things ordered online form another state. Unless it's just being factored into the price basicially. It's been awhile since buying from BBTS and now I have three items on pre-order from them

Looking at the card art it looks like the guns and missile pods combine to form a hammer! Interesting I must say.

We did get titanium Magnus that could detach from the trailer, ha.
My wallet will be after CW gets done with me.

No, Galvatron. The Deluxe Cyclonus is perfect.

Preordered done and done

But guys, his thighs are hollow!

Galvatron should definitely be a Voyager but I think the perfect scale for Rodimus is a decently-sized Deluxe.

Do you mean Cyclonus?
Neo Tallgeese
Ordered.
Every time I tried to get City Commander from Fansproject, I hit a financial wall and had to cancel. I've always wondered when we'd get a Hasbro "trailer" Magnus. I thought the closest thing we'd see would be Masterpiece, but even its price tag was pretty steep. Can't wait for this guy.

Thanks for the pic!
Looks like it can rotate too like a real tractor trailer.
POSSESSED_DIGIT
Ok. Thanks. Was just curious.
Can the cab rotate on the hitch like a real tractor trailer?

So help me of the Takara one has appropriately scaled doors/ladders…
…I can dream, can't I?

Yeah, I pre-ordered this guy, as soon as I got the email from BBTS, but I may cancel if the TT version looks better. I did the same thing with Arcee.
