    I'm glad it's not white, but damn, those red splotches hurt.

    Same as before--he looks "dunked in white chocolate" more than "rusty and faded".

    It looks really bad. It's worse than the one in Hasbro's Farmageddon set.

    I guess I'm not surprised, but I like that less than the previous image. I'm wondering if I'll end up canceling my pre order. Not sure yet.

    I'm pretty glad I did not preorder this. I think anyone can do a more decent "rusty" effect than this.

    And I wish they just offered the Evasion OP custom for Milk Magazine for sale:

    Now that it looks like he's not bone white but more yellow/brown, I think I like him better than the Farmageddon Prime. The red rust is WAY overdone though, yikes. Hope that it kind of differs per toy and the one I'm getting will be a bit more toned down.

    They should've just turned him all white and called him Ultra Magnus.

    I'm so glad I don't have this preordered. Looks really disappointing to me. I'll gladly wait around for Hasbro's.

    nah, too costly. that would easily up his retail price to $80.

    What's Ultra Magnus doing in AOE without his armor?

    Looks way better then the Hasbro version.

    I wish i could get it, but already getting two Evasion Primes through the Then and Now and Platinum United sets, so I think three is overkill, even if it is awesome.

    The vehicle mode still looks beat to hell, which is the main thing I care about.
