But you can't deny the fact that, Ultra Magnus is honourable and heroic.

[@lights126]

Absolutely. 100 percent.

[@orionpaxproductions2702]

Some could say he isn't as heroic as Optimus. But that's because he never gets the chance to.

[@JRS-N27]

Most Honorable Autobot..his Self esteem is way too low, he only sees himself as merely a soldier

[@davidgordillo6583]

He’s a true soldier

[@Green-ader]

He should’ve gotten the matrix

[@SilverHyozanryu]

I've always had a soft spot for magnus. The idea of a character that's sort of stuck in Optimus' shadow yet still has respect for him is really interesting. He's a perfect invers of starscream.

[@spencerandmainzwithcoffee]

And then, in transformers animated, it was switched around.

[@UltraPrime1986]

​@@spencerandmainzwithcoffee Yeah, what a wonderful job Animated just made him look truly weak, the change didn't benefit him. Transformers Animated made the worst Ultra Magnus

[@spencerandmainzwithcoffee]

@UltraPrime1986 I mean true. But they did make him the leader of the autobots, at least. But he also had very little screen time. It would have been interesting to see what would have become of him if we got another season.

I agree because the series introduced a Rank both higher and lower than a Prime (Magnus > Prime > Minor etc). G1 fans may hate this, but I personally love this concept because Optimus prime would’ve become Optimus Magnus by the end of season 4 which was sadly cancelled…

I always felt Ultra Magnus I'm Animated was a glass cannon. Powerful weapon, but easily defeated. Starscream one shot him, and Shockwave hospitalized him, and according to season 4 info, he would've died from those wounds.
