Thin, Rickety….And Actually Kinda Alright?? | #transformers Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus Review
There IS a storage spot for minimus. Its in the back of the truck and right in the middle towards the front. youll see it. There is a peg that fits him.
There is!? Damn I don't think I know anyone who knows about that. Thanks!
Below me gets burger🍔 cuz why not
@@irenedelacruz2642Yippee
@@ThatToyGuy yeah, it's like a spot with three tracks that line up with all of minimus' weird wheel bumps
@ThatToyGuy I found it out of frustration of not having a spot to store him! Lol..but its legit..it fits him
The virgin Kingdom Magnus vs the chad Combiner Wars Magnus
Ah, yes, leader Magnus one of the best from the Prime Wars trilogy.
This and Optimus were the best leaders arguably
FAXXXXX MY BROTHER
SPIT YOUR SHIT INDEED
The Chief Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.
This is the Magnus I really wanted a Diaclone repaint from, with the little Ambus guy done in red to homage the Powered Buggy.
Yes! I am glad I am not alone.
That would have been amazing
I remember getting this guy at Universal Studios because I could not find him ever back home. Then months later I find him in stores to home
It's amazing how this guy aged.. despite being a ways behind in quality, it still can stand among some of the newer guys
I love this toy. It is IDW Magnus.
What it needs, and what I gave it, was a custom paint makeover.
It is COVERED with details all over that just need to be painted to be highlighted.
The legends redeco of this feels like a whole different toy with how much better its colors are.
BTW there's an upgrade kit for a fully transformative white robot that can fit inside of him.
Hehe someone didn’t watch the video😂
Mr Electric, send this guy to the principles office and have him expelled
3:08 watch the fucking video
What a L
I thought he was about to play pumpkin hill at the beginning for a second
To give it its due, this was the first mainline G1 Ultra Magnus that incorporated the truck into the transformation since the 80s (not counting the die cast one).
Yes, I’ll give Hasbro props for 1) IDW/G1/86-like 2) integrated Minimus Ambus 3) movie/TV-accuarate transformation. I mean, I like the Seige/Kingdom “armored-up white Optimus” homage, too, but CW was cool, and with “better”missile launchers.
Magnus is nice, but it's a shame we never got a figure of that one mysterious cloaked figure. I would have loved to own a copy of that
the one from siege? yeah, who WAS that guy?
I got him on eBay a few years ago and he came with custom filler pieces on the back of his legs that weren’t mentioned in the listing so I guess I got lucky. Still prefer the SS version and the former has been sold online.
I remember getting this guy off Kijiji in the silliest way possible. The guy asked me to meet in front of a Sobeys and there I was going up to a black van asking “ya got it for me?” I like to imagine ppl thought it was a drug deal only to see a fucking transformer coming out of the car Lmao. For that memory I’ll always love this guy 😂
Surprised you didn't mention how absurd the cab is, that based on the ladder and door the cab could dwarf a 4-story apartment, 3 stories of which are just the grill.
I can't afford a Studio Series 86 Magnus, so I might get this one. The whole mechanic of the truck opening up for the minifigure to drive it or even a headmaster is very appealing.
one day well get a magnus with a minimus and that minimus with another smaller minimus, sooo desperately need a full and fancy lost light crew (MMCs been great for that but also i like being able to afford them and them not running out of stock before i can)
God yeah, Ultra Magnus would need to be massive for the smallest minumus to even transform tho, but it's a fun idea
AND YEAH I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE AFFORDABLE FIGURES OF THE LOST LIGHT CREW, we are thankfully gonna get a Rodimus figure soonish that is incredibly accurate (tho it's still gonna be really expensive) but i hope they start to test with other characters aswell, i would kill for a MTMTE accurate Whirl
@@jabrio3584 It's been so long since we had new Whirl or Nightbeat figures and my shelf needs both!
The guys stylized look in truck mode screams a hot wheels truck. Don’t know why.
The Takara Legends version wipes the floor with this version. Anyway, this mold was just okay. I got him not as a G1 Magnus but because I liked Minimus Ambus in the IDW comic. Also, We wouldn't have gotten Takara Legends Ginrai without this mold.
The 86 figure having a bigger truck mode does actually make a lot of sense, specifically because of the cab. This figure limits the size of the cab to what fits in the chest, meanwhile 86 Magnus folds it up a lot, allowing it to fit in the same space while being bigger in truck mode
This is one of those figures that despite its obvious flaws, still holds up really well. He looks like hes supposed to in both modes, the whole mech suit gimmick for Minimus is sweet and a different take on the inner robot. Honestly I prefer it to the siege/kingdom mold, and if I hadnt gotten SS86 Magnus this would still be my main display figure.
I got the Japanese Unite Warriors version of this guy from a friend and I'm very glad I did, especially with how that version swaps Minimus for Alpha Trion. The reworking in Titans Return for Power Master Optimus is also oddly good. Not perfect, but good.
I would say is better even. Fixes the hands not holding the guns issue
Thrilling 30s and Prime Wars had some great figures for their time. This particular Magnus mold managed to capture the IDW aesthetic and be proportioned well. It did what it needed to do and did it great.
With the Siege and SS molds also now in the rear view I guess Hasbro can continue their "Perfect X" chase.
i have this but his leg snapped off, pain...
Ahh yes, another underrated character
This was my first G1 style Ultra Magnus.
Even considering the plastic and combiner wars engineering on this guy, I think he still holds up really well, even without the upgrade kit. Only thing holding him back for me is the limited posing, a lack of paint, and the guns honestly. I think the plastic on the prime wars leaders really show why leader class changed so much after Siege, but this still hits.
He looks awesome in both modes, I love the Minimus inclusion and how he can pilot Magnus, love how well he carries cars, the transformation is simple and fun, it really feels like a less complex take on the commander's conversion.
I have him on a shelf with my other Magnus's and he looks great with them. When I originally got him (before siege), I really wanted the more cartoon coloured takara deco but now having the SS86 and Siege which both cover an accurate G1 and Stylilised G1 respectively, the toy colours really give him a unique edge and make him feel like a true IDW Magnus.
I love him, he'll always be my first Magnus, and even if he isn't the best chug magnus. He's my favourite.
Having the Minimus Ambus included was one of my favourite things about this toy.
Being one of the few in my local group that was knee deep in the comics at the time, it felt like I was in on some very inside joke. (There is a minimus Ambus joke in there somewhere)
This is by far the simplest transformation for a non-partsforming G1 Ultra Magnus (aside from the missiles) that I have seen, yet the results are quite epic. The way the cab worked is so simple to the point where Perfect Effect made a core bot that could seemlessly replace the stock truck.
I like this mold, this Magnus in the Platinum Edition Autobot Heroes set really stand out with lot more deco and metallic paint
The white on this guy always had a brownish color to it. It was one of the reasons I splurged back in the day for the Tanaka version.
I bought the KO upgrade kit which is a transformable white cab and it enhanced the play value. I have kept it as my Ultra Magnus until now.
I remember seeing this at toys r us while I was in college but I didnt have enough money to buy it. That toys r us had a lot of great figures. Leader skywarp, a lot of tlk figures, titans return alpha trio and more.
YO thank you! I asked for this review like 3 months ago, thank you man!
I got this guy so long ago and he is a permanent member of my lost light shelf. Pretty cool figure
I had the Powermaster Optimus Prime that shared the same mold as this Magnus. Still wish I did. Great figure.
I have that one too! Although I lost the headmaster it came with. The first time I saw this video I thought that ultra Magnus was a retool of The Optimus figure for the reason that headmasters can fit in the cab in vehicle mode, but minimus can’t fit in ultra Magnus.
Wonderfully timed since I’ve been catching up with Unite Warriors. Not going after this guy since I have SS86 Magnus, but I do remember all the praise this guy got at the time (and apparently still is, going by the comments!).
I had as a kid and man I want him again
Great review! Man, I had to do my homework on this one…been awhile. So, this was 2015. I remember, a few years before, kind of a drought of big Ultra Magnus figures - WFC/FOC games-1 deluxe (?) and Transformers Prime-1 medium/1 big. I was shopping for a big Ultra Magnus figure, and I decided to get the medium “Beast Hunters” version, though he seemed “small” for an Ultra Magnus. Discounted, too. The big TFP one just seemed too odd. Then the CW one came out, and though he’s a lot more now, I thought he cost a lot at the time, and passed. Of course, a few years later, the Prime Trilogy, and I probably spent more on the Netflix Spoiler/KO-Siege Ultra Magnuses… LOL Hmmm, I always had the impression (due to the truck cab) that he formed a huge truck. I guess Studio Series 86 is better-sized, though. At least CW/86 Magnus have plenty of car carrier space. Not so for Siege/Kingdom, and for mainline versions between the WFC/FOC games and CW… Edit: TFP had 2 medium Ultra Magnuses…
Last year you gave the tr02 galaxy optimus a pretty bad review, do you have any interest in their new version of it coming out soon? Also will you be reviewing it, and if not, do you expect it to be better?
I used to have this guy, and i loved him so much, but i lost it somewhere in my home and havent seen it since, but i remember the minicon being dismembered and scattered
This is the Magnus I wanted before the 86 figure came out. Even now I’m a bit disappointed that I missed out on Minimus Ambus.
At the start you could've said 'this guys brother gets lobotomized'. Good video still.
For the longest time the only way to complete the look was the X2Toys XT-009 upgrade kit: it had gap fillers, new arms/hands, ankle tilts, helmet with different face sculpts and a ginormous cannon. Unfortunately they went extinct. But if you have a 3D printer, you can buy and download files from Funbie Studios that makes him look a lot like the legend's scale Iron Factory IF EX-44 City Commander.
I had the Japanese version, and bought an upgrade kit, though not the one you were referring to. I wound up selling it for the Kingdom version, then bought the SS86 figure for my movie shelf. I kept the Kingdom figure for my Season 3/Headmasters shelf, so he's my Jack Angel, but SS86 is my Robert Stack, lol.
Hello That Toy Guy. I actually have this Ultra Magnus. Thank you for the review of this toy. I subscribed to this channel not too long ago and I love your commentary.
minimus has a series of tabs on the underside of his alt mode. one on each arm around where the wheels are, and 1 each on the legs that kinda shove together into a wider single tab in the center, closer to the front of the car. there is a series of corresponding grooves right on the floor of the red section and the white part where ultra magnus's waist is that those tabs can slot into. these groves are quite long, so you can position minimus more or less wherever along them. i owned this toy years ago and have since given it away or sold it, don't remember which, so this may not be entirely accurate, but it should be close enough.
I absolutely love this version, was my first ultra Magnus when collecting again and i have him on a shelf with other idw characters
I remember owning this back in the day
It wasn't bad, but the 86 one is just so much nicer
Yeah, my CW UM was marked down because he had these panel lines done by marker when he was used, I got mine at my local GameXchange store, and he was priced at $9.96. I know, that's cheaper than later Generations figures, believe me, I got Titans Return Blurr, Combiner Wars Rodimus, Blackjack, Swindle, Power Of The Primes Blot and Sinnertwin, Kingdom Rattrap< Core Prime, Generations Selects Bug bite, G2 Sandstorm, Rotorstorm. Generations Selects Smokescreen and Deep cover were Gamestop exclusives, so they don't count.
i remember when the 86 one got revealed everyone was claiming the CW one was far superior 💀💀💀
How long should that code for Tfsafari last? I'm getting winter optimus once payday comes through.
I'm surprised you had trouble getting him. I bought him last year on eBay for stock leader price. And that was only after I lost out on 2 separate auctions which had him going for way cheaper. Mine didn't have the issue with minibus ambus falling apart either, so that might just be your copy.
My personal Magnus. I haven’t gotten SS86, I’m sure it’s great, but this is fantastic. He’s fun, great looking, and all around just good crack.
Oh yeah and he’s IDW Magnus.
I got this guy for like somewhere between 50 and 70 quid on Ebay last year in his box sealed. It isn't the IDW coloured one unfortunately but I still love it. The commander class Magnus had just come out but I wanted an IDW design for the Lost Light shelf, not G1.
I have the Power master Optimus and that actually does have a place in the cab for the headmaster.
As a person who also owned the headmaster version, I can confirm this
Really like the simple engineering, and updated look for the carrier mode. A much nicer option I feel than the puzzle former known as Siege Magnus though I prefer that one's robot mode to this IDW iteration. While SS 86 is probably the best we're going to see for a while this looks like a fun toy if you can find it abandoned in a thrift store somewhere. Wouldn't consider new as I've never been a fan of the lightweight/hollow feel of most if not all the Combiner Wars line which was not an improvement from the Power of the Primes line.
I struggle with keeping my copy or selling him. There just arent enough IDW figures in my opinion. How many really are there? like 6?
I have been collecting Transformers off and on since the 80's. And...only once have I sought out an Ultra Magnus figure. It's the only one I have. The Siege Magnus with the grey tint. The red, white and blue color scheme was always too loud to me. Never mind how many alts they created for him. Every variant of this guy should come with a shelf. Good review.
I also have this figure, it makes me wish that kingdom magnus had transformed this way, I personally think that the taller the shoulder stacks, the better Magnus looks.
I still have fond memories of CW Ultra Magnus but man the hands not being able to grip the guns was annoying.
i always thought that Minimus was a robot(or human not sure which) that just uses Magnus' body as a mech suit to keep his legacy alive. i have him. he is in storage though but not horrible. i also have the Power Master Prime version of this mold. his greys are not as crisp anymore but he is a fun figure too.
I bought the Japanese version of this mold. It's great!
I have two of the three that I know of: the normal Hasbro version that I customized and the Takara Legends version. There is another version I have seen in person from a myltipack with Arcee, Thrilling 3o Springer and Kup where everyone has some king of metallic / spectra flame paint job that was too coatly to me.
My first g1 styled Ultra Magnus. I still like it. I had to return the first one I got because it had a broken thigh out of the box…
I was lucky they had another one to get an exchange.
I never cared about the Minimus Ambus, so as soon as I saw the perfect effect upgrade I had to get it… It improves the toy a lot.
Also I have the platinum edition one wich I only took out of the box to check if it was fine with QC and then back to the box it went thanks to the normal one having the upgrade…
Just a heads up at the store where u bought lugnut they also have a leader Magnus I forget from which series
This is probably gonna be my Magnus for the foreseeable future. Is the plastic crap? Yes Is the articulation kinda meh? Also yes. Are there problems with the joints? Is he hollow? Yes. But he's the only Magnus so far that's an actual IDW Magnus, complete with Minimus Ambus and I'm an IDW fan and I really don't have any kind of connection to any other Magnus variant so…
What TO store did you find your first one at?
Never picked this guy up as I was more interested in the Combiner Wars combiners; I have gone back and gotten Leader Megatron from the line, from a convention. I do have the TR Powermaster Optimus Prime that was retooled from this Magnus figure, with Apex (aka Hi-Q, aka Ginrai) able to ride in the cab in truck mode. (My copy has a minor QR mis-assembly, with one of the rear tires being a front tire instead so the longer axle wobbles when rolled)
There's another upgrade kit that gives him posable feet and a hammer (and more stuff but I forgot what) but it's impossible to find anywhere
Smash or pass ultra magnus
Is that even a question? Obviously smash.
Smash
Smash
ITS A ROBOT?!
@@The-Radio-Demon-Himself So? People want to smash the female bots.
Are you gonna review the hammon collection carno
Man am I glad I have the 86 version, but this guy has always been an interesting one. Maybe one day I will get him... maybe.
I have the Optimus remold of this figure. Really thinking about getting this one, too.
thin and rickety is my main complaint with most of the transformers toys over the last couple of years XP its why ive mainly moved over to Tobot and Sentai
Still crazy to me how this guy is the basi for Titans Return PowerMaster Optimus Prime, and the takara versions of both of them were awesome
I like the idea of IDW magnus, would've bought it too had it been a better toy...also, minimus isn't madnus, he just took over his corpse after Magnus died...
Good toy, though i wish they gave him his IDW head and went all in with that design. The paint is also lacking, but the Takara and 5 pack ones look to fix that.
Always wanted this as a kid… as a much bigger kid I have the SS86 One :)
Still want this tho 😭
If you can track down the LG Magnus, he's no less flimsy but the colors and paint are amazing and worth it. Funbie Studios on Cults 3D has some amazing upgrades for this guy, if you are crafty enough to do some 3D printing and painting or know a guy.
I definitely prefer CW Magnus to Kingdom Magnus. I can't get over Kingdom Magnus' exposed hands in alt mode. I'm still surprised no one made an addon that just covered the hands neatly and made them look like part of the truck bed or trailer hitch.
It also helps that CW Magnus can actually fit other cars on his trailer.
Their is a version of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus that comes Alpha Trion instead of Minimus Ambus. I think it was from Takara, so probably exclusive to Japan.
I wanted to buy combiner wars Megatron, but the store didn't have it. The only leader who was there was Ultra Magnus, so i got hi instead
At the start of the war, Mac ultra Magnus died but they used his body for minicons to control like Minimus
I like that you put some of the characters from idw when you show him bc rewind and chromedome
So glad I waited all these years to get a Magnus, ‘cause SS86 Magnus is PEAK
He really was a good Magnus for the time. I got the Legends version cause I liked the paint job on it better then CW.
This should've been WFC Magnus but with more budget
I love the IDW aesthetics - but alas the SS 86, hell even the Siege depending on my mood, does show how dated he his. One saving grace is he can actually carry a few cars.
Wait there’s an upgrade kit to make him a tiny robot!
I’m just kidding I know you mentioned it
Also I really enjoyed the livestream the other day
last year after my exams in like august i was allowed to get anything i wanted from my mom as a reward for good grades
and i was contemplating wheather to get leader magnus or legacy motormaster, then the pre order for 86 magnus went up. fastest pre order i ever made and i dont regret it
I'd like to get this guy. I love the IDW designs. Definitely waiting for a decent price though.
Ah, this mold- it’s the usual punching bag for me whenever I want to show off a bad figure. I know he’s not too horrible, but he came out almost a decade after the 07 movie, and I still proudly display those toys. I don’t proudly display my TR Leader Optimus. Hasbro had, at the time of this mold’s release, shown that they can do much better, yet they chose not to. Honestly with all the hollowness, super thin plastic, and the bare-minimum of articulation to be considered passable, it seems to me that they were deliberately trying to make this mold as cheaply as possible. Perhaps to make some other figure in the wave extra-good?
3:10 you should review the upgrade kit too
One has to remember what this thing compared to, at that time. It was simply awesome. Still is.
I love this figure so much, whenever the next time I can get I’m getting it
still my favourite Magnus, design does a lot though tbh
I want ankle/feet upgrades and better hand articulation for this guy, but I've gotten the platinum edition version and i like him more than the classic versions
I had him up until they released siege magnus, then I just got the 86 one..
I liked him for what he was, but 86 is my magnus
I didn't end up with Mangus, but I got PM Optimus and the Takara Ginrai with God Bomber (even getting Takara Wheelie so I could have Shuta to go with Cab and Minerva), and I was just never happy with how the legs never felt correctly aligned with being upright on either version.
Takara Ginrai did feel better, and I did wish I had gotten my hands on the PM Optimus 3rd party kit for PM Optimus
Were they perfect? Nah
Am I looking forward to MP Ginrai? Yes, but that's supposed to be on another level
