As far as I'm concerned, there's one trait about Ultra Magnus that stands out above the rest. When the Junkions brought him back in the movie, his first words weren't "I'm alive", they were "You're all alive". He cared more that the *other* Autobots had survived than anything else. If you don't have that as the basis for your characterization, then you're doing Ultra Magnus wrong.

The Magnus armor had a major appeal to me, especially when we found out he had the same body as Optimus. Prime had always been a big, tough bot, so adding the armor to him shows just how powerful Magnus himself was. i will admit though, that i've always preferred him being just old friends with Prime, rather than true brothers.

This is one of those funny cases where I kinda wish this had been made later. Obviously McFeely knows this, but for those who don't, Magnus was featured heavily in the show Siege. The toy was entirely original, not a recolour. It homaged G1 in its robot, but RID 2001 in its vehicle. Better yet though, Magnus' toy got retooled into an Optimus Prime! Yes, for once, a complete reversal of tradition -- and a rare Unicron Trilogy homage to boot since it has Galaxy Force's super mode!

I always liked the Ultra Mammoth version. It's a shame we never got more G1 characters upgraded to Beast Wars Maximals and Predacons. It would have made for a great BotCon set and probably could have been a fresh take on the original story of BW where it was actually the same characters from G1 with new animal forms. How awesome would it have been to take the Transmetal Waspinator mold, give it a new head, and repaint it as Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp? Or what if they recolored the Tripredacus members as the Insecticons? Although, yes, a crawfish is not an insect. Or if the Magnaboss members were recolored like their G1 selves? It would make for an interesting, more unified color scheme. Although I imagine Ironhide's color scheme would essentially be inverted. With his elephant parts being red and his robot parts being grey. That would make for a disturbing alt mode. A blood red elephant.

Doesn't mean much in comics after you've come of age, but UM's intro when I was young made me automatically treat him as leader when I played with my toys...this is after OP's death of course (the original OP). I never took to Rodimus Prime, so when I played with my toys, Ultra Magnus was always the new leader, not Hot Rod.

One thing that should be mentioned about Aligned Magnus is that, as far as I can recall, he's one of the very few Cybertronian characters who's received a prosthetic replacement limb after suffering a grave injury, with said limb being a new right hand cobbled together from scrap metal and spare parts by Ratchet after Magnus had an unfortunate encounter with Predaking after the Autobots destroyed Shockwave's lab where an army of Predacons were being cloned. Predaking also broke the Forge of Solus Prime in the same battle, though it was never revealed how the hammer was repaired off-screen between the events of Prime Season 3 and the RiD 2015 Comics.

Yeah, me too. I prefer the idea that he was built as a soldier and donned the combat armor to essentially have the power equivalency of a Prime without being one himself. I need to specify though, he wouldn't don the armor out of a desire for power, but out of a need to take on the rising power of the Decepticons. Kind of like a Captain America situation. He was a fine autobot soldier on Cybertron, but with the Decepticons' increasing power and influence, someone like Alpha Trion designed and built the specialized armor as a means of replicating the power of a Prime without necessarily being one. Therefore, his power rivals that of even Optimus Prime himself, but he still remains the same soldier he always was. No more, no less.

Well your last sentence wasn't heeded. The upcoming War for Cybertron: Siege toyline will have a Leader-Class Ultra Magnus with the Magnus Armor and everything...but the body appears to be a white truck. Whoops. At least the figure itself looks sweet.
@hyperdimensionbliss5 жыл бұрын
White truck, yes, but it's an original mold rather than an Optimus repaint.
@myriadmediamusings5 жыл бұрын
HyperDimension Bliss Lmao and how things have changed because now this Siege toyline has an Optimus thats a retool of Magnus.

Ultra Magnus in Transformers Prime held his own against Predaking, Shockwave, and even Megatron before Megatron ultimately got the upper hand. That version of Ultra Magnus is my version of Ultra Magnus.

I like the idea of Ultra Magnus being rebuilt like Orion Pax was to Optimus Prime. I would like the idea that he was built similar to Optimus to give the Autobots a chance fighting Megatron and his plans for conquest. The extra armour/power suit would be to enhance his abilities as he did not have the matrix and powers with it. They were the start of the new generation of Autobots to become warriors and soldier including Elita One to lead and fight the war.

While I agree Recolouring Optimus prime into Magnus colours is a bit lazy I do still like the idea of Optimus and Magnus being Brothers, it gives them a better character dynamic and sort of explains how the two characters are so close. I also love the concept of Magnus leading the war effort on Cybertron in Primes Absence. Ultra Magnus is just an awesome character and I love him so much. Xx

As someone who grew up on RiD and fortunate enough to have both toys, there's an obvious bias towards brotherhood and Omega Prime.

Speaking of Ultra Magnus ringing in the Wreckers . . . I'd love to see The Basics on Wheeljack. PS, 'Wrecker' Wheeljack is not my favorite... but I'd love to see the history you dig up. Really liking the vids man.

I kind of prefer "Warrior Wheeljack" over "Scientist Wheeljack". But maybe if Wheeljack was a Wrecker in the live action movies they wouldn't of made him look like freaking Albert Einstein.

Personally, I like the idea of Ultra Magnus being a white duplicate of Optimus Prime in a suit of armor. That's probably how I would've played with the Ultra Magnus toy.

@Jayce_Alexander3 жыл бұрын
I really dislike IDW's version of Ultra Magnus. The idea of it being a rank, and Ultra Magnus being an exoskeleton with a tiny robot inside...it just seems to rob him of his entire identity, I feel. To me, Ultra Magnus will always be the tough, old, battle hardened warrior. The guy who doesn't want to lead, even though he'd be great at it if he had more self confidence. A wise mentor to younger Autobot leaders. Also liked the Dreamwave version a lot. Generally I like the IDW comics, but unfortunately not the way they've treated Ultra Magnus - who is my favorite Transformer of all time.
