Transformers Generations Leader Class Ultra Magnus Figure

This is a blast from the past! They seem to have modelled this Ultra Magnus from the original Transformers movie from the 80s, he is a beast.Fundamental point for this toy is it is actually quite big and for the price similar to lesser toys in this range is a great deal of value or money.As can be expected for a toy in this price range, the quality is good, craftsmanship is as expected from the Transformers of old and the durability, which is key, is tip top.This character is one of the retro greats and I feel that any child could not go wrong starting or adding to their collection with this toy. Ultra Magnus is a beast and I think he deserves pride of placeGreat toy, good price and hours of Transforming fun.

Really pleased with this figure its surprisingly poseable, the guns and shoulder missiles can become a hammer and Minimus has a pretty detailed cockpit in the chest though it doesn't work for vehicle mode.

A well detailed and constructed main figure brining back the g1 cartoon look in truck mode he can carry some of the smaller genertions figure the minimus ambus figure is very brittle in the legs but fits easily into the highly detalied cab reminisant of the power masters in robot form the hands opening fully as oppossed to being fixed can make possing a bit tricky for display making this fantastic addition as a toy for play as it is very easy to change between modes not bad for collectors although the hands wheapons are a not as good as the could be

This version of Ultra Magnus is that depicted in the current run of comics published by IDW, and as such he is slightly different from other versions of the character you may know.In this comic-book reality the original Ultra Magnus was a mighty warrior who fell in combat eons ago. In order to keep his legend alive a powerful suit of 'Magnus armour' was created and has been worn by a succession of worthy bearers. The current occupant of the armour is Minimus Ambus, a tiny Autobot who is what is referred as a 'point one-percenter' - that being a Transformer with an ability so rare that only 0.1% of the population possess something like it. Minimus Ambus ability is that he is a 'mega loader', meaning that despite being tiny and physically weak himself, his frame is capible of sustaining incredible weights, making him the ideal bearer of the huge Magnus suit. As 'Ultra Magnus' he is the Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord - the ultimate enforcer of law and order in Transformers society.On to the toy itself, its a very impressive piece standing about 12" tall if you include his shoulder stacks and with an impressive heft to it. Brightly coloured and stylish, this is Ultra Magnus for the modern age with sleeker lines and contours than his earlier counterparts. The figure has an impressive range of articulation and is fully posable, and comes armed with two blasters as well as two shoulder mounted twin rocket launchers. He transforms into a futuristic vehicle carrier with a trailer capable of supporting several smaller Transformers. Minimus Ambus is also included, standing about 2" tall and transforming into a futuristic car, he can 'wear' Ultra Magnus by opening a cavity in his chest area. Despite being an intricately designed toy, Ultra Magnus is actually quite easy and intuitive to transform.In terms of complaints I have only one, that being that whilst the Minimus Ambus figure is quite well articulated itself despite its very small size, it is still somewhat very basic in design and has the appearance similar to the very early Headmaster partners from the Generation 1 action figures. Also his proportions are off from his comicbook version - basically he's a little too small.Nevertheless, it is still a very impressive action figure.

A great fun toy based on the IDW comics with a subtle nod to the G1 cartoon. Here is my full review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWwYM-ARjFE
