I finally found the videos that sparked an interest in me for these things 10 years ago using a public library computer. Thanks for making my childhood
I received my City Commander kit today, and upgraded Ultra Magnus is standing guard on my highest shelf. I'm very happy with the design, appearance, and materials quality of the kit.
That's the ingenuity of the fans. That's how franchises should run, By the fans for the Fans. That is seriously so cool. I just can't believe how awesome it is!
I just got my Ultra Magnus upgrade kit today. One of the best purchases I ever made. If you want him to be able to hold his BFG sticking straight out, you can move his leg forward a bit, and have the gun sit on his kneecap.
If you turn the white shotgun thing around to face up you can bend the tip down and it actually fits really well, it may be intended, It gives him the look of another weapon on the top of his shoulders like a lot of G1ers had. Cool review man, I love mine.
"It is so choice." Made me laugh at the end there, I reference that movie all the time and no one seems to catch it these days. I got mine yesterday and it is a thing of beauty. I saw your backpack storage solution, I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
how much does the upgrade kit cost? and could you do a size comparison with the upgraded UM with the original G1 UM side by side? thanks for this review
awesome review peaugh! originally i wasnt gonna get him but once i saw your review and saw him in motion i just couldnt resist. worth every penny! P.S. you can point the bfg straight if you rest the back of the right arm piece against the tab of the waist piece that attaches to the leg armor in trailer mode
Now that is sweet. I wanted to see this before I bought it, so yeah it is a must buy now. The only thing I wish you showed more of was teh articulation with the armor on. Other then that, great review.
I got mine with the extra parts kit in the UK for less than £60. I was kind of expecting it to be fake for the price but I researched how to check it and mine is definately a proper late release fansproject one. IMO TF fans are getting better value saving the price of a few hasbro crappy deluxes and spending it on one of these instead. I like mine loads.
Bought mine before i bought ultra magnus himself...thinking (wrongly) he'd be easy to find as a simple repaint :P. Still, both are now safe and sound with me!
you can get the second release of the trailer on pre-order for about $90 not including shipping, but the actual ultra magnus figure might cost you more than the trailer itself either in a two pack with Skywarp or Optimus Prime.
That's really fantastic and your video quality is SO clear! How did you get it that clear? Man, I wish the total weren't so pricey, Ultra Magnus + City Commander set = beyond my current budget. Awesome vid = 5 stars!
you know after this video there's going to be a good couple of thousand of us looking for this upgrade peaugh- I don't even own ultra magnus (yet) and i still have to have this =]
That has to be the most bad-ass incarnation of Ultra Magnus that I've ever seen! Oddly, I don't like the big gun as much because it blocks the view of this figures inherent awesomeness.
Can't wait for the Nemesis Prime version of the City Commander upgrade. Now all I need are Nemesis Prime, the Nemesis Commander, and a truckload of money.....
now THAT'S how ultra magnus should look. that's the guy i remember from g1. awesome he would look great next to master piece optimus prime. now all we need is master piece rodimus prime and the g1 autobot leadedrship is together again. Transform and roll out!
Sorry to get your hopes up, but too late do I realize I ordered the wrong thing. It's just the missile upgrade that you don't see in this video. ;P I'm still looking for the ACTUAL City Commander set...
Just today received this set and the forearm armour has no intention of even beginning to "click" into place. Where does is click into in the arm? Can't see any locating point.
Can never seem to get the arm-our to clip on properly, maybe I'm mssing something... Awesome piece of kit, and it looks fantastic alongside my TF Prime collection.
o my god with all that armor and firepower he could literally lay chew optimus prime to pieces! great review i want him but thers a slim chance they might be all out lol
Any tips on removing the leg armor easily? I've attached it twice without MUCH hassle... no stress marks or breakage, but I only ever removed them by disassembling each leg and unscrewing the leg armor panel to loosen things up. Seems a bit of work... there has got to be some easy way to remove the leg armor.
I had Ultra Magnus & Optimus from the Robots in Disguise series and they would transform together. I have no clue how I managed to put them together at such a young age, because I would never look at the instructions
god I wish my classic optimus came with his blaster not the scoop but the smoke stack ones.... if for any reason you have a spare would you think about selling it?
First OMG that is the best classics figure ive ever seen!!! Second can you do a video with prime in the ultra mangnus armor? just to see what it would look like.

Do you still have it
It has been 12 years after all
That's the ingenuity of the fans.

Purely awesome. It's cool that how some extra bits of armor can make a figure entirely different. I don't think I'll ever have it but it's beautiful.
So happy I preordered him. Awesome review and he's on his way.
mann i can't get enough of this figure upgrade. i barely missed out on it, and now the prices are insanely high.
If you turn the white shotgun thing around to face up you can bend the tip down and it actually fits really well, it may be intended, It gives him the look of another weapon on the top of his shoulders like a lot of G1ers had. Cool review man, I love mine.
Can't wait for my box full of awesome shows up! Mine's in Iowa now, waiting for its delivery to my home.
I watch yor reviews all the time I want to give a thumbs up to all of them but finally I type to you.
"It is so choice." Made me laugh at the end there, I reference that movie all the time and no one seems to catch it these days. I got mine yesterday and it is a thing of beauty. I saw your backpack storage solution, I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
I LOVE the instruction/comic book idea! Everyone should steal that idea and run with it!
how much does the upgrade kit cost? and could you do a size comparison with the upgraded UM with the original G1 UM side by side? thanks for this review
Why the hell did hasbro not think of this from the start. This is awesome and a nice new twist to a classic character. great review.
awesome review peaugh!
originally i wasnt gonna get him but once i saw your review and saw him in motion i just couldnt resist. worth every penny!
P.S. you can point the bfg straight if you rest the back of the right arm piece against the tab of the waist piece that attaches to the leg armor in trailer mode
IT's an incredible piece of engineering, and it's a fans work.
So bad ass, glad I got Ultra when I saw him at target those couple of years ago.!
Great review buddy... Im new to the upgrade scene but now very tempted... Keep up the great wrk
Okay, now I'm even more glad that I preordered mine. Awesome review!
Now that is sweet. I wanted to see this before I bought it, so yeah it is a must buy now. The only thing I wish you showed more of was teh articulation with the armor on. Other then that, great review.
Wish they still sold this set
Awesome review, here's hoping they will make a trailer for Prime as well. G1 style w/roller etc.
Beautiful. This review has convinced me that I muse find some way to get classics Ultra Magnus and this set.
That is absolutely one of the best figs ever!!!
The upgrade kit for this City Commander kit comes with a hammer, among other things. It's not out yet, but you can preorder it at a certain website.
I think the City Commander Trailer Set is definitely worth the money to get him!

Bought mine before i bought ultra magnus himself...thinking (wrongly) he'd be easy to find as a simple repaint :P. Still, both are now safe and sound with me!
Finally the review is up!!!! :D
I have to get classics Ultra Magnus and this upgrade kit :P
Just got mine today! Awesome figure!
you can get the second release of the trailer on pre-order for about $90 not including shipping, but the actual ultra magnus figure might cost you more than the trailer itself either in a two pack with Skywarp or Optimus Prime.
im glad everyone finally has a use for the freeloader in skywarps box.
mine's already been shipped ^^ city commander here we come!
That's really fantastic and your video quality is SO clear! How did you get it that clear? Man, I wish the total weren't so pricey, Ultra Magnus + City Commander set = beyond my current budget. Awesome vid = 5 stars!
The box might not be exciting,but the AWESOMENESS it contains more then makes up for it >:P
OK!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Hands down!
Now THIS makes getting the Classics Ultra Magnus toy worth it.
you know after this video there's going to be a good couple of thousand of us looking for this upgrade peaugh-
I don't even own ultra magnus (yet) and i still have to have this =]
Awesome, I can't wait for mine to get here... I new there was a reason I saved my G1 Ultra Magnus... lol
That has to be the most bad-ass incarnation of Ultra Magnus that I've ever seen! Oddly, I don't like the big gun as much because it blocks the view of this figures inherent awesomeness.
Bro You were the first thing i watched on youtube :D Think i rediscovered something
I just ordered this for about $30 for my Nemesis Prime figure. Can't wait to get it! >:D
Can't wait for the Nemesis Prime version of the City Commander upgrade. Now all I need are Nemesis Prime, the Nemesis Commander, and a truckload of money.....
Awesome review for an awesome upgrade!!
I'm glad I got him before he sold out. I got him for Christmas.
now THAT'S how ultra magnus should look. that's the guy i remember from g1. awesome he would look great next to master piece optimus prime. now all we need is master piece rodimus prime and the g1 autobot leadedrship is together again. Transform and roll out!
holy crap thats sweet. imo this is a must buy if you have this figure. nice review
how much did this cost u and how tall? shorter than masterpiece optimus prime or same hight? ive ordered mine and its been shipped.
cool, i got mines last friday, i just havent had the time to review him, he is a very cool figure, Nice job
ordered mine today, got the last one from BBTS too :D
Apparently there's a way to stow the BFG on Magnus's back, so you don't need to set it aside for display.
Sorry to get your hopes up, but too late do I realize I ordered the wrong thing. It's just the missile upgrade that you don't see in this video. ;P
I'm still looking for the ACTUAL City Commander set...
Just today received this set and the forearm armour has no intention of even beginning to "click" into place. Where does is click into in the arm? Can't see any locating point.
Can never seem to get the arm-our to clip on properly, maybe I'm mssing something...
Awesome piece of kit, and it looks fantastic alongside my TF Prime collection.
real damn shame the missles don't come with the figure, good luck finding an old set of them on ebay
what were the other liscence plate options?
o my god with all that armor and firepower he could literally lay chew optimus prime to pieces! great review i want him but thers a slim chance they might be all out lol
reminds me of Powermaster Optimus Prime, just with more separating "g"
i like the concept of the Trailer/Armor
Did u get the reprolabel upgrade sticker set for the city commander armour
did you see there repainting this set into shadow comander? also i got to pre-order shadow commander can't wait for him.
does it matter if the doors are loose in robot mode and like to just swing down over the fists
does it come with him?
Nice vid, Does Ultra Magnus have the same mold as Shattered Glass Optimus?
please tell me where you got it
i just got my nemesis prime and im desperate after one
I remember watching these at my grandmas house, and I wanted this toy but it was too expensive 😵💫
Peaugh who is you're favorite transformers or favorite autobot and decepticon?
Any tips on removing the leg armor easily? I've attached it twice without MUCH hassle... no stress marks or breakage, but I only ever removed them by disassembling each leg and unscrewing the leg armor panel to loosen things up.

I love the review dude and prettysoon I will buy a new fansproject city commander ultra magnus thanks to yor review :)
I like it but is it really worth the $80.00?
so if there the same mold that means u can use teh shadow commander's armor to put on optimus or ultra magnus, that so cool!
if optimus is wearing the armor, because he can, does that change the color scheme significantly? Or does the armor cover it completely?
Yep, it can fit on all versions of the mold
i just got mines today he is really nice!!!
I WANT HIM! but seriously where can i get it and how much is it?
you can use any version of classics prime
Is this at a store or off the internet?
I think the kit cost around 70-80 dollars, not sure, but im tryin to buy the shadow commander set
where can you get this from? is it only exclusive from fansproject?
Where did you get yours?
I had Ultra Magnus & Optimus from the Robots in Disguise series and they would transform together.
I have no clue how I managed to put them together at such a young age, because I would never look at the instructions
Does the package come with the actual ultra Magnus,
god I wish my classic optimus came with his blaster not the scoop but the smoke stack ones.... if for any reason you have a spare would you think about selling it?
Where can one purchase this figure, or has it been discontinued?
is the mold the same as classics optimus, or another optimus mold
where u get it
You got it!!! NICE!!!
do you mean the shadow armour?
do u no where to find a new or like new one of these? i wana buy 1
The only bad thing about this is that it made the Ultra Magnus figure more expensive then the actual set!
ive heard people calling it a kit, does that mean u hav to put everything together? the parts i mean. and does he come wth classics Ultra Magnus?
will you do a review for pharaohtron
do you use these figures in a game or they just toys
how much does he cost?
OMG!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!
aw man when is mine gonna arrive!?!? I can't wait...
Do they have an optimus prime one and where would i find one
do you want any of the add-on kits with the figure if you do which one.
First OMG that is the best classics figure ive ever seen!!! Second can you do a video with prime in the ultra mangnus armor? just to see what it would look like.
I modified the trailer on Ultra Magnus to turn using a paper clip. more realistic now with turning ability.
I paid $152.00 for one off of eBay, now I need the Henkei Ultra Magnus from TF Source to be shipped.
Excuse me, Peaugh, but can you tell me who's "Pharaoh-tron" and what transformers character is he homaging?
