While Hasbro and TakaraTomy's releases of the toy are almost identical, the battle damage paint apps on the latter's shoulders and legs are slightly altered in size. [4] Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2019, Optimus's wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2018. Note that in Car Robots, there is not one singular Matrix, but multiple ones, each held by a high-ranking Autobot. Magnus already possesses a Matrix, and simply seeks to steal the power of Prime's to increase his own (the overspill resulting in the supercharging of the Autobot Brothers). Following the disappearance of Optimus Prime and Megatron's troops four million years ago, Ultra Magnus and Fortress Maximus took fluctuating joint leadership of the Autobots until Maximus abandoned the war. The transformation is cool, in that you can do it all-in-one but you can also transform the cab separately from the trailer, which helped me out a lot in getting the cab together The Ultimate Gift Set was exclusive to online retailers in the United States, but was available at general retail in Asia.

This release uses the toolings that were modified for the Robots in Disguise Scourge toy, and thus has smooth discs and a less pointy sword. This mold was also planned to be used for the canceled Universe Toxitron toy. The first new character to bear the name of Ultra Magnus since the Generation 1 original was known as God Magnus in the Japanese 2000 line, Transformers: Car Robots. God Magnus owed his name and alternate mode to Ultra Magnus (and also to Godbomber, an earlier character who disassembled to form armor for his Prime-styled partner), so when the series was translated for release in the West in 2001 as Transformers: Robots in Disguise, the name change was obvious, and Ultra Magnus returned to TV screens for the first time since the G1 series. [6] Later, a smaller Spy Changer figure of Magnus, unique to Robots in Disguise, was releasedLegends Ultra Magnus is a redeco of the Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus toy. Compared to the Hasbro release, Legends Ultra Magnus features whiter plastic, and a deco closer to his original toy (including his rifles) and his appearances in IDW's More Than Meets The Eye comics (down to the red thighs and unpainted eyes). The figure includes a small Alpha Trion figure, which is redecoed from Minimus Ambus. His profile names his buildable hammer the Magnus Hammer. There's also another, a little less special but still very cool play feature: You can draw and quarter him! Two different toys of Ultra Magnus appeared in the Titanium line. The first is a repaint of the 6" inch War Within Optimus Prime in white colors. If they managed to blast away both asteroids, they reached a vast, empty expanse of space within the asteroid belt. Ultra Magnus was pleased to hear that they had only received minimal damage up to now while navigating through the Asteroid Belt. His relief was short-lived, as it soon became evident that the Decepticons had figured out the workings of the Invisibiliy Device, and begun firing upon the Autobots’ shuttle. The Autobots considered retreating, but Kup reminded them that Sarah Sanders had not perfected her device yet, and the Decepticons’ invisibility may yet wear off.

As with the redecoes/retools of the mold below, this Ultra Magnus is not designed to hitch Deluxe/Legends Class cars due to how the trailer is designed, though you can mount one of them (albeit not securely) on top of it. When the galaxy became infected by the Hate Plague, Ultra Magnus was one of the first victims, and his calm, restrained soldier attitude was stripped away, leaving behind a raving, battle-hungry maniac who had a particular interest in destroying Rodimus Prime. After the plague was cured by the resurrected Optimus Prime, Magnus subsequently led the defense of Cybertron during the battle for the power of the Plasma Energy Chamber in 2007.https://tformers.com/earthrise-leader-optimus-prime-error-with-alternate-universe-head/37627/news.html In another universe, an Autobot bearing a great physical resemblance to Ultra Magnus called Ultra Trion appeared, being killed by the Decepticon leader Megazarak. According to series artist Dan Khanna in a message board response, Ultra Trion was meant to be an alternate universe counterpart to Ultra Magnus, who acted as Alpha Trion's successor until his demise. Ultra Trion was later retconned into being a version of Ultra Magnus, who merged with a dying Alpha Trion in an alternate future version of a Robot in Disguise universe, where Cybertron is ruled by Megazarak and the Autobots are near-extinct. As with other War for Cybertron Trilogy figures, Optimus Prime was exclusive to Walmart in Canada and the United States. If Ultra Magnus to attempt to send a scout ahead to scope out the Decepticons’ defences first, the Decepticons spotted the Autobots’ approach and radioed Galvatron for help immediately. The Autobots and Decepticons battled fiercely, Ultra Magnus unwilling to surrender until the Brain Drain device had been destroyed. He managed to accomplish this by triggering an avalanche which buried the Decepticons in snow and shattered the Brain Drain device into a million pieces.

With the main 86 crew, really looking forward to that Leader Springer that's been leaked for 2024 now!After returning to Cybertron, the crew of the Fist of Iacon discovered that, in their prolonged absence, Megatron had staged a coup, overthrown the Cybertronian Senate, and seized power. Although Ultra Magnus briefly despaired that the Cybertron he'd fought for had vanished, Alpha Trion was confident that his excavations into their past would provide them with answers and assured his friends that they would survive the coming storm. Storm Horizon Part 3 Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takio Ejima and Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy), Lenny Panzica (initial concept) [10] The figure was made available for sale exclusively at Hasbro Pulse on November 1, 2022, and shipped in early December 2022. The inner robot, while still resembling Optimus Prime in general appearance, is actually a different mold from Siege Voyager Class Optimus Prime.
