Thanks to TFW2005 boards member Gunshot, we now have in-hand images of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Ultra Magnus (wow that’s a mouthful.) Ultra Magnus is a retool of the Transformers Prime Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime, who is in the same wave as Unicron Megatron and Bludgeon. Check out the in-hand images by clicking the story title, which feature comparison to the vast majority of the Transformers Prime Cyberverse Autobots, including the prior Cyberverse Ultra Magnus.

I was about to say this, his smokestacks are left to right.
I have him and like him. Truck mode looks much more goofy than the RID Prime versions because the remoulded white parts on his shoulders make that section much taller and thus, more goofy.
REMINATOR
Damn, I can't seem to find him anywhere, even on Ebay. Any of you guy him see him available, let me know.
Nevermore
I got Ultra Magnus and Unicron Megatron today (haven't found Bludgeon yet).
I just notice Ultra Magnus's smokestacks are swapped compared to both the original Optimus Prime and Nightwatch Optimus Prime.
The photos in the first post also depict swapped smokestacks. The official stock photos show them assembled correctly.
Fortunately, they can be swapped back with ease.

Bludgeon or GTFO

The robot mode looks nice. The alt mode is a mess of pure silliness. Going on my maybe list.
I like these Season 3 group shots, now I almost want to pick up that blue Smokescreen and the black Bumblebee. Almost.

Not too bad, I guess. The white wheels are kinda crap- heck, Magnus doesn't even have any white on him AT ALL. Gray would have looked much better.
Any chance of you reviewing Bludgeon? He looks awesome.
Reaper Cloud
Wow, those white wheels really stick out! As well as that white ball joint in vehicle mode. -_-
I'll still get him, just because he's part of my final 3. Plus it will make the original mold of Optimus Prime look that much better.

The bot mode makes me moist, in the most manliest of ways, but the alt mode is pure suck!

Is there any other differences between the Hasbro and Takara versions besides the grip?
On topic – I'm not sure if Takara will do a repaint with the line ending.

These recently pics made it look a lot better than what I saw earlier from Ebay which was only from the package. With that said, white wheels??? I don't know what planet whoever gave the green light to produce the figure in that color come from but seriously does it really cost that much more to give a black paint on the wheel? I'm not a fan of the white torso too, they could've just used the same gray as the thigh. Lastly, the extra red at the side of each lower chest bother me too. As for alt.mode, from now on it should be known as the truck that wears Santa hat! Overall, I thought the mold itself doesn't look that bad, just poor choice of coloring. Since I'm a sucker to the character, he'll end up in my collection until TTomy release a better paint app.

The original cyberverse Magnus looks way better than this one. That Magnus is one of my favorite cyberverse figures. It's only great if you can actually find one that is able to grip his hammer though. I had to return the Hasbro one because it was a loose mess all around. The Takara version is much tighter.
Flexx Ark
Straight repaint

Will stick with the previous CVC commander Ultra Magnus as I'm not a fan of that mold at all (the stupidly thin waist section which is covered up in these pics being the culprit). Unless of course I find it at "Amazon holiday" prices.
In for the other 2 commanders in the wave.
Edit – any remolding done to that Unicron Megatron, or is it just a straight repaint?

The bot mode on Magnus looks great, and I absolutely love the itty bitty Forge, but I'm really, really not feeling that "windshield". Like, at all… The white wheels are a redeeming feature though. Throw a little black around the outside and my Magnus is definitely gonna have a set of white walls, just because he can.
That Bludgeon is also pretty sweet looking.
Altercron
I'll probably pick up Bludgeon, but that Ultra Magnus looks….horrible.
Exodus
Haha same here, and here I thought this line was done, dang. When are these getting released?
Dormamu
Hey, finally, Unicorn Megatron! Meaty!
jestermon
It's neat that they gave him the red Prime sword as well instead of just using the same stuff from Shockwave.
trebleshot
Eh, I've bought every Prime Cyberverse toy so far, so Magnus could be in day-glo lime green, neon orange and hot pink and I'd still end up getting him, along with his wave-mates.
Besides, I like Santa truck.
Neo Tallgeese
My thoughts exactly. Bludgeon looks to be nice in both modes (from the small picture shown), and as much as I like Magnus' bot mode (and I do like the bot mode), his truck mode is quite dissapointing. Still, I'll probably pick him up if I see him on sale somewhere.
