Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

It not like Hasbro and Takara haven't already given us four "inner robot included" options for us to pick from in the last five years, those being Siege, Netflix, Premium Finish, and Kingdom.

I'm skipping this Ultra Magnus as it's a lot of money for a character I already have several good toys of (unless he goes on super-double-secret-discount or something). But given that, in some continuities, UM is kind of a "Dread Pirate Roberts" sort of situation, I'm not opposed to having multiple versions of him. Sometimes he's only a big robot. Sometimes he has a slightly smaller robot inside of him. Sometimes he has a MUCH smaller robot inside of him. They're all just different iterations of Magnus.

Well, the first three are the same toy with varying levels of extra grey paint spattered on them. They also don't worth for a Earth mode based collection. The fourth one does, but can't even be the car carrier that pretty much everyone wants out of a 1980's based Ultra Magnus.

Really, my take is that the extra articulation and screen accuracy gains aren't worth the extra cost of a Commander class versus what I have already that I paid a third of the price for (including the KO Core Magnus), and does pretty much what I want the character to do.

For those that are thrilled with that SS86 Magnus brings (and there is a significant portion), then I am totally happy for them!

 

[LordGigaIce]

Yeah to me the inner robot is a bigger deal for Magnus then the car carrier option so I'll stick with my Kingdom one

 

[Dekafox]

I'm good with my MP Magnus, as that's essentially what this is, but good that like Bumblebee there's a MP-lite now for people who didn't get him back then or don't want to pay MP prices.

Some goodies I want to get a case for my MISB Skids but for now this looks good

 

[Haze Arquebus]

All I see is a broken image.

Dunno what to tell you, maybe you got something overzealous in any adblock stuff you might have, or browser security settings? It's just imgbox.

Yeah, it shows up fine on my end.

 

[Galvaplexia]

He’s so photogenic!!!

I kinda want both?

We got both in '86, dagnabbit. And the mold was even older than that!

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

And all that tradeoff took was the combined robot being a plank with the smaller robot clinging to its back wearing a helmet.

If I was being picky I wish Grim had all his toy decos if he was gonna get the tampo on his chest but he is still beautiful.

 

[Dake]

She looms quite nicely over the cityscape.

 

[Lobjob]

This is beautiful.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I think with that setup, you just need a single bot pointing in the direction of the Nemesis and its sort of "We are DOOMED, DOOMED I TELL YOU!!!"

 

[Platypus Prime]

Or a single Junkion sitting on the Nemesis waving a cowboy hat...

I just feel like with 40 years of advancement in toy technology, something must be doable.

And that Something was Siege/Kingdom Ultra Magnus.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

The car carrier who can't carry cars, right. As established.

I think something better can be done.

 

[TheSupernova]

I mean, they got it done a lot better a couple of years later with the original PMOP, and that's formed the basis for a lot of "semi truck into giant robot" combinations since

 

[Lobjob]

And just by looking at Armada Prime, a modern PMOP would probably be absolutely stellar.
