    What's the story behind it? Why FT?

    It would make sense as they've done most of the rest of the Movie cast. You sure it isn't from another 3p?

    Edit - just seen the watermark. Interesting. Maybe the Magnus wars are about to begin.....

    Why the hell would you use this title for a question about an unconfirmed image? Like you couldn't have at least stuck a question mark on the end there?

    Well I am assuming the guy thinks its FansToys because the Picture is watermarked Fanstoys.... LOL

    As to the title... well. No reason to bite his head off.

    I am in for a new Ultra Magnus.
    I want one that preferably can shed his armor off to get a White Prime underneath, if possible.

    I'd prefer an Ultra Magnus that looks like G1 Ultra Magnus in both modes in favor of having something that looks like a big stylized nothing because it's compromised by homaging a gimmick the G1 toy had that never happened in the cartoon.

    Unfortunately. That would have made for some interesting storyline

    If a new Ultra Magnus did happen I would like it to have a white Prime body underneath.

    Although considering the higher prices the ultra-toon figures are by TT and FT, and considering how much a grey box full of knickknacks increased MP-44's price, I shudder at what the price for that would be.

    I mean...it looks fine, but it has the exact same problem as takara’s, it’s at least a centimeter too tall. If you’re going to do magnus, why not say “screw alt mode scale” and give us one that looks right in bot mode next to optimus?

    Trying to stuff a white prime inside is probably going to make the other modes suffer. I'd prefer they skip doing that.

    Have you seen toon magnus lately?

    upload_2021-1-17_17-30-6.jpeg

    Only problems I can spot are the legs are a bit short and the shoulder pauldrons are a bit tall.

    Edit: the torso could stand to be shortened a tad, and the chest shield is under detailed. That said, MP-22 has just as many proportional problems.

    I'm very much in for a Magnus to replace MP22 but already this doesn't appear to be what I'm looking for.

    Still far too tall in bot mode, proportions are a bit off, and if the truck mode pics that pilot00 posted are the same figure then it doesn't look like it's based on MP44s truck mode.

    Will wait to see more I guess. XTB are teasing a Magnus also, so maybe it will be the next 3P war.

    I want an Ultra Magnus that is one unit, with a unified transformation not a guy in a suit of armor
