Transformers: War for Cybertron SIEGE - Leader Class ULTRA MAGNUS

The shoulder pillons have a gray piece you can fold up into a tab on the base robot shoulders that allows them to connect firmly

[@_PostMortem]

I wanted to give you a thumbs up but I don't want to break the 69, nice

[@EnerPrime]

The armor gauntlets peg into place behind the head (the one that doesn't look like Optimus Prime) inside the trailer in vehicle mode so they don't rattle around.

[@rositaanna2187]

Yeah they peg into the chest piece I have this toy myself

[@powerrangerkid16]

Does anyone else think of 2002 rid ultramagnus when looking at his vehicle mode?

That was my first impression of it when I saw it as well.

I can kinda justify the size difference between siege and CW ultra magnus, as siege UM is the real one and CW UM is a copy made to keep the legend alive. legends always appear bigger than the heroes they're based on.

[@TFfangeek]

Is anyone else thinking Siege Ultra Magnus has a Classics/Fansproject vibe from his robot mode, how tall he is, and his transformation? I do. ;D

[@jedipoodoo]

I noticed that both with this guy and the Power of the Primes Rodimus Prime. Definitely inspired by them for sure.

[@jelenamertens88]

His alt form reminds me of the 2001 rid ultra magnus

@Atqanov Abrar... you are actually dumb. His robot mode is NOTHING like his rid 2001 form.

5:33 Ultra Magnus: Leading autobots because Optimus gave him permission. Also Magnus talking to the autobots: FOR THE FINAL FREAKING TIME I AM NOT OPTIMUS PRIME

[@Th3DankestMemer]

7:24 "I chook a look at-" Me: **spittake** Also, how did he not mention that the vehicle mode was reminiscent of Ultra Magnus' RID vehicle mode? In addition, the tranformation into Armored Ultra Magnus looked like it was inspired by the FansProject Ultra Magnus.

[@jamesandrewjohnstone1931]

Great looking figure...just hope that the UK fans will get them in stores without paying the expensive online prices.

[@yeetimusprime1833]

damn I know its really annoying

[@jamesandrewjohnstone1931]

Spent today checking the local toy shops in the area....by the looks of things the prices will be on a par with the power of the primes...so roughly £20 for deluxe class.

[@rugalheidbernstein9944]

Would be cool to see this figure get a Delta Magnus repaint.

[@Fc203]

Rugalheid Bernstein there’s a 99% chance that this will be repainted into the Optimus colors which is pretty much delta Magnus

[@TimeLord675]

Maybe if they retool for a more "proper" G1 look for the vehicle mode.

[@TsunogaiDanshaku]

12:26 "I can't deal with this now... But my groin can!"

[@MisterSouji]

I love how Magnus slowly turns to look at you when you're snapping in his shoulder armor, sort of like he's irritated how you're doing it.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Siege Prime & Magnus have similar but different heads as well Magnus' head is secured together by a screw, & has extra detail on the sides of the mouth guard finally his mouth guard ends flat where as Prime ends at a point. I think Magnus has the better voyager head.

[@jzachery]

I didn't think I'd like him but having him in hand I do. In full UM form I don't care for the feet that much, but he does look great. As for the size, I was initially put off, but they're establishing a whole new scale with this line it seems. They work with each other.

[@Jetthehawk1994]

I actually prefer this Magnus over the Combiner Wars as it gives off more of a G1 feel where the CW version was meant to represent IDW.

[@jedipoodoo]

He's not perfect, but I like him. If anything the base Magnus robot is pretty cool and similar but distinct enough from Optimus Prime that he's not just another "white Prime." Good video, man.

[@whirler9759]

Takara is definitely going to recolor him to become Delta Magnus (aka Diaclone colors)

[@slochedplays9585]

Further, there's rumors of a Leader Class Optimus Prime come to the later waves of Siege, and it will almost certainly be a retool of this toy.

[@jakedc1997]

Ehh not so much Takara post Titans return is matching exactly what hasbro releases (Dai Atlas set excluded) probably to save money after Takara lost the pokemon contract

[@transformersntrains8702]

LOL takara teamed up with hasbro for this toyline

[@transformersntrains8702]

If you have a siege figure it says tomy

[@90lancaster]

@@slochedplays9585 I guess they could use the blue cab Powered Convoy and sell it at Delta Magnus and then sell just the cab in red as a new Optimus in the Voyager line. Or keep the cab unit and make him some Powermaster Optimus Prime kibble to combine with. If they are really clever they can make an Apex Armour deluxe Battlemaster to go with Optimus too. I've got used to seeing Magnus with a Hammer now though - so not having one is strange especially when he has two stray guns that don't do much other than replicate some of the kibble of the 2001 Magnus. I also wish he had an obvious front facing Autobot logo when combine with the trailer. I do like the inner robot a lot though - I'm a little sceptical of the unpainted abs.

[@kairiley8520]

[@jignat]

Good review. You're the first person I've seen peg the black guns to the side of the silver gun.I didn't know you could do that. I really like this figure. I think of all the recent "small figure with armor becomes a big robot" in Classics/Generations, he pulls it off the BEST. While I normally dont give a hoot about the inner core white robot, this looks so freaking awesome! I think he is worth the $50 despite being an inch or so shorter than 2015 CW Ultra Magnus.

[@javiersanders5110]

[@杨二千]

this toy line is amazing,takara is really doing a great job this time.

[@NXTangl]

I would like to see a Yuusha-style Magnus that fits a Minimus Ambus in the cab. If it's third-party, we could add a brain master gimmick to the inner figure for giggles, since the actual Minimus has to drive a giant version of himself.

[@trence5]

Great review as always Balt. One thing; @5:46 and @6:49 look closely at their face-plates; I could be wrong but to me it looks like their heads are different. A white Magnus that fully different from Optimus! Go figure.

[@cyberdragoon1432]

Is it just me or do the headlights for the front look like Gatling guns

[@KingEditsStuff]

There are two pegs behind the head part on trailer that connects to the holes in the side of the magnus arms

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

I love the look of the figures, i could fuss that they are smaller than ish we have gotten before yet cost more, but thats just where we are right now🤷‍♂️

[@Zaku2ms06]

I commend you for figuring out as much as you did without the instructions. I would've been completely lost without them.

[@xmappergamer1002]

Super semi magnus

[@goktimusprime]

Each gauntlet has a 5mm wide hole. On the underside of the top deck of the trailer you can see a pair of parallel 5mm posts. Plug the gauntlets into these pegs. Also, the truck mode is based on God Magnus from Car Robot, not Ultra Magnus. Although the colours are Ultra Magnus. There's also a trick to making the shoulder pylons stay on. See the grey clip on each shoulder armour. See how there are thin grooves/slots. Now see how on the back of each shoulder is a narrow white tab. These narrow tabs plug into the slots on the grey clips.

[@slochedplays9585]

You know, I could see Toy Hax being able to easily develop a conversion kit to turn the inner robot into Minimus Ambus. I'd definitely be up for it, I don't know about anyone else.

[@pessimisticprofessorfarnsw3241]

5:16. You can move the blue part up the track or position it to where it will slide off.

[@johnosbourn4312]

This new version of Magnus is really cool!!!!!! I love how Hasbro made the trailer able to become his armor, by making it as a kit, that you use to armor up Magnus.

[@Hektols]

It's great that they made mostly a new mold instead of repainting Optimus and adding the Armor/Trailer. Personally I prefer this version over the Kingdom Magnus due to the cybertronian truck mode.

[@TheGenuineDWNUT]

When Hasbro makes their own version of FP City Commander. 😂🤣 😂🤣😂🤣🤣 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@pessimisticprofessorfarnsw3241]

The gauntlets peg into the shoulders of the ultra magnus head part. There are two pegs on the reg part that it hooks in.

[@Yesitsmyrealname]

Are the two Black guns attached to Magnus's main gun at 12:41 Included with the figure as accessories? I'm not asking for Magnus himself since the main gun is enough for him but for figures who need guns like that like CW Blackjack , Ironhide and Streetwise, Siege Sideswipe and maybe even Thrilling 30 Roadbuster

[@dotmitchens]

Yep. Comes with 5 guns, to my knowledge.

[@Yesitsmyrealname]

@@dotmitchens That's two more not counting the shoulder missiles. Or do you count the shoulder missiles?

[@MrAqr2598]

The core robot (who I lovingly refer to as “Magnus”) looks like a white version of Nemesis Prime, or some other evil prime, due to the red eyes.

[@kingkurok3149]

Omg I already want it so badly, idk why but I always like this version of Ultra Magnus, especially this figure as it has a far more unique mold compared to the Siege Optimus Prime which only makes it stand out more as it's own figure (I mean besides the power armor it comes with) all n all it's awesome and I hope if them make more Magnus figure like this one, seriously I definitely getting this one

Great looking Magnus. Too bad you didn’t get instructions for this. I like that this leaderclass isn’t much larger then voyagerclass . This way you have a more realistic scale between figures. Hope to get this if it ever comes to the Netherlands

[@astromotive6047]

6:57-7:00 No they do not. Magnus' has more details on the faceplate and his main antenna's are thinner. It just goes to show how much HasTak is really going the extra mile when it comes to giving us collectors a quality figure line.

[@novaprime4831]

[@blam320]

I've heard that if you compare the weights of the two, Siege Ultra Magnus is actually slightly heavier than his Combiner Wars counterpart.

[@InfernoDragon1]

Okay, so I know you didn’t have the instructions with you but in his core robot mode you’re supposed to slide the butt bumper up the track along his back to stabilize him a bit more. Then you slide it back down when you clip on the torso portion of the city defender armor. EDIT: I should have watched a bit further before commenting. LOL
