    That's probably a good thing, actually. The matrix being bigger, I mean. When you take any matrix that comes in an Optimus' chest and try to put it in his hands, it's immediately apparent that it's way too small. When I want an MP-10 sized figure to hold a matrix, I use MP-01's because it's bigger and when I want an MP-01 sized figure to hold it, I use the one that came with that 18" Mega Action Series nontransformable Optimus (that's his matrix below)

    [​IMG]

    It just doesn't work out for a matrix that's big enough to hold to also fit inside the figure's chest. I haven't tried it but I wonder if they matrix in MS-02's chest (it's smaller than the MP-10 matrix) would look good in any legends Optimus' or Magnus' hands.

    If you're using him as Marvel Gavly (II), it's also the wrong color. Should be green like the Gen Selects toy/comic deco came with. Minor detail, also applies to the comic OP's matrix.

    I almost got him when he came out because I prefer the marvel version of Galvatron but he's the wrong color. Should be an icy metallic blue and a few of his red parts should be that same blue or purple. I really wish they'd do a comic version. I can't believe nobody ever has. Dalianjj talked about it a little for Sovereign (masterpiece Galvatron) but then they never did :(

    Has anyone had a stress mark appear on the tab inside the right shoulder stack?

    Did they make the add on kit for the ex version yet? I almost bought it for the regular release.

    I've only seen it for the original release (which I assume wouldn't match colors completely right for the EX), and the Delta/SG version. I was hoping for one for the Shining piss version, but it never happened, so I'm not holding my breath for the toy version, either.

    I didn't understand why you were asking about Photoshop before and I just realized you were asking about the damaged Magnus. No, that's a custom I made from Magic Square's second Magnus - they released a trailer/armor upgrade for their white Optimus figure several months later.

    I just got mine,

    Can confirm he is indeed amazing. Worth the money and is most likely the best representation of G1 UM on the market

    ...I am experiencing SERIOUS FOMO on this guy. Yep, Ordering the EX version to match my David EX version. NA makes some Kickass figures. Especially Autobots.

    Love the EX versions. Every NA I've gotten I have the EX (except Galvatron, but I have the M version of that one, which is really the EX, because its like why is a giant rubber ball from some weird Japanese cartoon storyline on what they called the EX???)

    Finally got my EX. In short: I love it. Blows away MS's armor version on several fronts.

    I mean, Has Magnus EVER had this much fun?

    "IT'S COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!" :bay

    He also sometimes- SOMETIMES, feels the uncontrollable urge to just do the pelvic thrust OF DOOM

    "WOOOO HOOOOIIIE!!!"... Or, something similar
    WooHoo1.jpg
    ...I dunno, maybe he's been listening to Deathklok again. :music  Optimus can't stand it.

    But Octavian really does fit in wonderfully with the rest of my Magnuses. While the MFT up-size of the original MS design will remain with my Season3 Shelf, this guy is a GREAT pickup for my collection of my favorite Autobot.

    Here's my attempt to get the boxart pose:

    To the Shelf, where hopefully he'll tide me over until Gears and Windcharger happen...

    Glowing Piss Magnus? Still not very hard to find. It's Shattered Delta Magnus that's worth "killing" for.
