Mine is not in good condition (trailer) but on the bottom of his foot I got him autographed buy jack angel who played ultra magnus in the 3rd and 4th season. and also played omega supreme. can't wait for his review
This actually makes me really appreciate the combiner wars ultra magnus from a while back; you can really see a lot of places where they took design ques from G1 magnus in the transformation itself. Also the car carrier is way better.
Back 1986 I always want Ultra but my father never bought one ! 32 years later was 2018 finally G1 Ultra Magnus be come part of my collection! Great video!
WFC Spoiler pack is my first Magnus. I couldn’t get him as a kid. And now I’m 46, WFC has gotten me into collecting and I’m happy with my first version. I actually didn’t know as a kid that he was a white Prime separate from the armor haha.
UM is easily one of my top five. I even named my RV Ultra Magnus, and maybe someday - I'll get a paint wrap done up to match - I bought an old one, so the paint is chalky anyway. "You kids" are doing some pretty cool stuff with paint wraps and 3D printing these days. Maybe get somebody to 3D print up some new overhead cab marker lights that resemble the rockets?.. that'd be cool. I also have B9 the FJ Cruiser, and K8M the KTM [get it? durr - I wasn't very imaginative with that one! Horrible not-a-dad-dad-joke] KTM dual sport bike with bumper rack mount for B9. And that all kits together into a neat haul package on a trailer behind UM, making my whole existence into a kit... A small kit of things, but a Free one, able to roam with my paid for house on wheels - Free for now anyway... I absolutely *detested* Rodimus Prime - because, all the reasons. I saw UM as the rightful leader, even with his faults. I didn't get an Optimus as a kid, I was just a year or so too young for the first wave, though I did get a Megatron later because my father likes guns. When UM was released, I found one in the the Goodwill store toy bin. The white cab was "Ghost Prime" while the full powersuit was just UM, as himself. Two separate characters. It was a bit of a Clark Kent/Superman play dynamic, but I made it work. Does anyone know if there was ever a UM done in Optimus colors?
I've always wanted an RV that looks like Rodimus! LOL! I don't believe UM was ever done in Prime colors, I would be ALL OVER that! There is the Powered Convoy (original Japanese version) with a blue cab I'd love to get a copy of! Thanks for watching!
In my opinion a must-have if you're going to have a G1 collection; the Kingdom one is awesome, but you can never go wrong with this guy. With my G1 Magnus, I took a spring from an ink pen and made a couple of springs for the missile launchers. Easy work around to the "safety feature" lol. Love the review as always, man.
I remember as a kid seeing the movie for the first time and I thought Ultra Magnus looked like a much beefier Optimus. I finally found out in my late teens that the toy literally was a white Optimus with armor. It blew my mind!
Good review. not many people know that there was a plastic tire version of this figure also and the ultra magnus (white optimus) part head had diffrent eyes while some had blue eyes others had yellow eyes, also too Some white primes were not metal they were plastic. also the Ultra magnus Head (armor head) didn't have a face it was all blue plastic.
Powered Convoy had a blue cab...seen most recently as Takara's LGEX Magna Convoy, a blue repaint of the Classics Optimus mold; the whole Powered Convoy was introduced in the Masterpiece series as Delta Magnus. And oddly, a repaint of Ultra Magnus into Delta Magnus has been rumored for years (originally from the Combiner Wars mold, later the Siege mold)...only to never happen. Siege/Kingdom Magnus actually does have a nerfed car carrier function. On the bottom deck, you have to open up the side (due to the transformation), but, you can get a Micromaster vehicle or two in there, or maybe just one Legends sized vehicle. And up top, there's maybe room for two or three Micromasters depending on the vehicles and if you have the large gun mounted at either end. While it sucks that he can't load up Deluxe or Voyager cars, the Micromasters & Core class were likely the intended play pattern anyway...even if it's a lame idea (since nobody asked for or cares about Micromasters aside from Soundwave's Minions).
Weird I think my comment somehow died and or disappoeard? Anyhoo I been becoming a UM fan recently after Kingdom UM. Love semi truckformers for obvious reasons haha. And bert, you should totally check out the upgrade kit for Kingdom Huffer, I got my own and love it! It's now a mini masterpiece th-cam.com/video/UdAE1RIq3OQ/w-d-xo.html
Is there any option to distinguish the original from the 2002 reissue? They used the same diecast, plastic, literally everything. I saw in the comparative photos that even the date is the same "hasbro 1984". Found the trailer in a second hand store, it has plastic wheels, that's probably the only thing that stands out. I wonder if it's the original or the re-edition.
@@BertTheStormtrooper Thanks for the answer. It's great that it's vintage, but if it had rubber wheels, would it be possible to distinguish these trailers? I understand that parts such as hands, launchers, head and torso are indistinguishable?
In my opinion the pins on the original Optimus and ultra Magnus figures look better than the reissue’s the ones on the re-releases are longer and makes it look ugly in my opinion

I really wish I had this guy. He really looks quite impressive and fun to fiddle around with. Just the car carrier mode adds a lot to the play value.
Thanks for watching!
At that point MP-22 is a good option.
Or maybe the KO, which has fantastic quality.

We need some G1 Ultra Magnus reissues in today's stores.
Agreed!
Thanks for watching!
Fr I want a ultra magnus reissue so badly
Ultra Magnus being able to hold some cars in his alt mode is still something really important to me for the character.
Agreed.
Thanks for watching!
Well not so much for the character as much for his alt mode's primary function...
Epic review Bert The Stormtrooper!!!!!!!!!! Ultra Magnus is my 2nd favorite Autobot after Optimus Prime. Keep on being amazing.
Thanks for watching!

In the Diaclone version, that small vehicle had 3 wheels. you still can see the openings for them
That's awesome! Didn't know that!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve always preferred the G1 toy colors over the original cartoon tbh.
Thanks for watching!

I think this figure holds up pretty well compared to other g1 toys, because let's be honest, most don't hold up anymore
Thanks for watching!
The fists always go in the cab. Kept me from losing them for almost 40years. Never knew the head attached to the chest piece?
Thanks for watching!
I had the vintage one when I was a kid. I remember losing the missiles. But this was a good toy, one of my favorites.
Thanks for watching!
The way that trailer hitch becomes the waist piece I guess you could say let's get hitched get it hahaha
LOL
Thanks for watching!
Man, I forgot about the lil' Flying Throne of Doom".
Apparently the Japanese versions had wheels! Now I GOTTA find one!
Thanks for watching brother!
great review bert!
Thanks so much!

I am so excited for my Ultra Magnus to arrive! Only the trailer but whatever
Thanks for watching!
Bummed I missed the premier but still a great video
All good, next time!
Thanks for watching!
This figure reminds me of of the Zeo Zords, specifically Pyramidus, from Power Rangers Zeo.
With the main figure just standing behind the combined mode? 😂
@@BertTheStormtrooper Yeah. That or the Red Battlezord on the main Zeo Megazords.
By the way, i wander how would the movie and season 3 look like if Magnus walked around in his albino optimus form
That would have been cool
Agreed, that would have been cool to see.
Thanks for watching!
Actually, Cartoon Magnus didn't have an inner Albino Prime. The carrier was part of his body.
@@_V.Va_ this is why i asked
Throwback!!💖🤘🆒️
Thanks for watching!
Is it just me or do I find G1 Transformer toys cute
Not just you 😊

I have a blue cab autobot looks like octopus or ultramagnus metal cab who is it it's a 1984 mattel
Mattel? Don't know. Send me a picture
Awesome review anyway to fix him holding his weapon properly and not falling out when he's in armour mode . It's bit worn out trying to fix it
Thanks for watching!
@@BertTheStormtrooper no problem. So Bert got an answer to my Magnus issue
@@BertTheStormtrooper Hand blaster isn't staying in hand properly. How would you apply any thing to fix it?
Have you tried clear nail or floor polish? Clear nail polish is my go-to fix for loose joints and worn pegs.
@@BertTheStormtrooper Thanks for help.

I never put the armor on optimus prime
I don't think I have either.

There is a transformers youtuber name Plasticon Who customizes Transformers to G2 Transformers, you should see his G2 Ultra Magnus
Yes, so you have mentioned. Please stop repeating the same comment over and over
Sorry, TH-cam didn’t load my message last time

You have a vintage there. Plastic wheels was the 2nd release of the original.

@@Willlion10 I'm sure there's tells and differences but I don't know them since I've never had an original. Sorry.
@@BertTheStormtrooper It's okay, thanks for answer anyway :)
It’s is definitely not the same plastic.
