Hobbybase on Facebook has posted up some in-hand out of package images of the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus. An extensively retooled Weaponizer Optimus Prime from the first Transformers Prime series, this version of Ultra Magnus sports both the Forge of Solus Prime and one of his arm cannons. Check out the images at the link above or mirrored attached to this post.

I'd expect Amazon like the first two releases. Maybe TRU since they sometimes carry the big ticket items.

The placard at Botcon listed this as a July release, so I think it is coming but just not sure which retailer will sell it.
protostar8
So is this coming to the US or not?

Thought I'd bump this thread to let anyone whose interested know that ToyArena has this guy in, but the price is $89.99 plus $12.77 for shipping. It's too bad he's so high priced it's hard to justify picking up this guy despite how much I'd like to get him.

Robotkingdom has him listed for $59.90 so I imagine it'll be around that if it's made available here. I was hoping for a $40-$50 at most price tag too. Still I'm may go for this guy, just because I'm a Magnus fan.
It's currently available through Robotkingdom if your willing to pay and wait for airmail. With BBTS offering the platinum Omega Supreme currently I'm hoping they'll be offering this guy too in the near future.
I believe it was stated earlier in the thread that the pics where taken from Robotkingdom.
I also agree with what many have said those red hands look pretty atrocious. I'll probably wind up dyeing them or painting them. One of my biggest turn-offs with the weaponizer prime was the hollow legs and back kibble. From what I've see the back kibble looks better IMO with the grill making up a significant portion of the kibble. Also IMO $60 is pretty high considering that Omega goes for about $100 and is a remold of a much more expensive product than the weaponizer prime. Still as I stated earlier as a Magnus fan I'll probably pick this guy up despite all that.
Here's a video review of him if anybody's interested so they can get a better view of the figure.

Isn't he going to be an amazon exclusive in the states? Strange there's no US preorders for him yet..

wow. those lack of paint apps makes this look like a KO. sigh.

It's out in retail here in Malaysia

Indeed, Magnus used to be a straight redeco with absolutely no remolding.

I'm loving the hammer, but I probably won't be able to afford this.
Bountyan
Wow, that truck mode looks like garbage.
[Wing_Saber-X]
yeah, those are the exact reasons why I passed on the Weaponizers stuff in the first place..

Get your hands on the Weaponizer Optimus Prime before buying this. The mold is sub-par the plastic is thin and toy overall is meant for kids with its gimmicks. Id stick with the voyager coming out, this one is not even show accurate. Whats with the bright red hands? IMO a big waste of money.
Shin Densetsu
Man this DOES work better as Ultra Magnus than Optimus Prime, especially with the pop out cannons! Dig the extensive retool and the colors. Can't wait for this. Hope Amazon picks it up and the reusable box is a plus too.
Stepper
Yah,me too as the Forge of Solus look great,very show accurate.

Where is Dr. Wu when we needed him?
May be come with Megatron Prime arm as well.
Nightrain
Well no, I was thinking who cares about Op at all when a Big Giant Magnus can lead.
[Wing_Saber-X]
nah, he'll be out of scale when standing next to BH Voyager Op…which is what I only collect.
So this is going to be a pass for me, duh.
(I know, I know, you are also thinking of the Ultimate Op, right?)
Transquito
Welp.. Too weak to resist this glorious bastard!
