    Sorry mate haven't received any new info on UM.
    At a guess I'd say mostly Siege.

    Just checking- are you American or did you translate that last word for a predominantly American readership? For some reason I've been under the impression you're British (Or otherwise quarantined on UK soil!).

    I am currently based in the UK, but am originally from elsewhere (a country where the US has a heavy media presence).

    I did translate - but mostly so as to not use the outdated racist version that first popped into my head :oops:

    I'm sure it's in the thread but I can't seem to find it. Did we get confirmation if this is another armor up Magnus, or just an albino earth rise prime? Or something different, a stand alone UM.

    Apollux has been saying it’s basically a Siege retool with most of the retooling done on the cab to make it more Earthly

    I can live with that. The siege one is my favorite mainline toy of all time. So a slightly more earthy one will win some points and maybe just maybe we will get a mainline Delta Magnus repaint

    Dude, UM is the best! Had the G1 as a kid, was my favorite then too. Did you gift UM any upgrades for his stumpy legs? Mine has 'em and he stole Crosshairs hammer. I really want to convince myself I don't need an earth mode variant, but he is gonna have to be one ugly figure for me to pass up on my boy, Ultra Magnus.

    Nothing for the stumpy legs, just some filler pieces. I like that that he's a stalky chonc boy.

    Same thing for me. Since collecting TFs going back to the 80s, after the original G1, the Siege and Earthrise just supersede all other TF Lines in term of my most loving line, lol. Excluding the MP line, I don't recall any TF line had so many updated G1 figures like the Siege/Earthrise. This WFC Trilogy line is insanely amazing for me!

    In regards to Delta Magnus, I am still shock they haven't redeco him out of Siege UM! I would buy any Armor Delta Magnus but definitely be skipping an all-in-one DMagnus/like MP31. Reason, the armor up version has connection to Powered Convoy which to me will always be UMagnus. Let's see if they attempt to redeco the Kingdom armor UM earth to DMagnus. If they don't, somebody at Hasbro must be sleeping and will be a big miss opportunity to tie UM back to his armor root Powered Convoy.

    Do we have any news of the SS Gnaw? I was wondering if he was going to be closer to Bumblebee/Cliffjumper size? (I’m hoping he’ll still kinda work with legends-scaled figures).

    Or you can just use the toys as they are. Gaps have been in TF history since G1. I don't see anyone filling those, or BW toys' empty arms and thighs... I dunno why this sudden increase of "horror vaccuii" people, but it sure gives third party producers easy money, just produce plugs and sell them for a ton of money for fans who are never happy with anything!

    Overall, I generally don't mind gaps. Some are worse than others, but I also understand why they exist. My general rule for gap filling kits is that if it's not color matched I won't buy it, and even then unless it's highly visible and large gaps (like Impactors legs) then the gaps really don't bug me enough to buy pieces to fill in the gaps

    Color of the figure seems to be a factor for me. When the figure gaps come on darker limbs I tend not to notice, but they stand out on lighter colors, like Hoist's white arms and legs.

    You may want to hold off those fillers if this OS KO Siege UM come out. No battle damage...taller... I can't wait to get him! Looks like my official Siege UM could be dethrone by this one. Kingdom UM Earth may have competition for those that want a taller UM but couldnt decide between Siege or Kingdom:
