• TakaraTomy release date: February 23, 2019

• Accessories: ”RT-15 Stethoscopic Detector,” 2 ”C-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers,” 2 ”W-HV-1000 Simulacrum Blasters,” 7 Magnus Armor pieces
Part of the first wave of Siege Leader Class figures, Ultra Magnus is a new mold that transforms from robot to a car carrier truck inspired by his Robots in Disguise incarnation and back! The most notable feature of this toy is that the trailer transforms into the Magnus Armor and combines with the Voyager-sized inner robot to form the super robot mode, making this the first official mainline representation of the armor since Magnus’s original toy back in 1986. Ultra Magnus also features ”battle damage” paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate ”Fire Blasts” from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. He includes five weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. His ”RT-15 Stethoscopic Detector” is silver in painted samples at SDCC 2018, Hasbro’s stock renders, and stock photography, while TakaraTomy stock photography (to the right) shows it in red with silver highlights. The final blaster is molded in red and painted silver, except for the grip which is left as bare red plastic. Though his two black blasters continue the Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus homage, mirroring the detailing placed just behind that Magnus’s cab, their hexagonal tips resemble that of Cybertron Optimus Prime’s Super Mode leg cannons, a comparison strengthened by the stock photos using the black blasters as leg mounted cannons.
Although both the inner robot and Magnus armor have sideways ankle joints, the feet of the Magnus armor are molded to set the feet permanently at an angle, forcing Ultra Magnus’ legs into an A-stance. While this doesn’t hinder the robot mode to any great degree, it creates visibly slanted protrusions while in truck mode. Additionally, be sure the truck cab’s upper half is moved as far forward as possible when transforming to truck mode, otherwise the connection between the truck cab and trailer will be placed under a great deal of strain once connected.
The inner robot, while still resembling Optimus Prime in general appearance, is actually a different mold from Siege Voyager Class Optimus Prime.
This toy was redecoed into War for Cybertron Trilogy Ultra Magnus (below), and retooled and given new accessories to become Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime. It was differently retooled for the Kingdom Ultra Magnus (below).
