Title:
Astroscope With Payload, Sky Blast And Ultra Magnus
Description:
Ultra Magnus (Command Class, 2004)
Accessories: Missile
The Space Team was redecoed and packaged in with Energon Ultra Magnus. Magnus was originally going to be packed with a new-characters redeco of the Street Speed Mini-Con Team (Brakedown, Clocker and Override, no team name given), but this was changed at the last minute. Exactly why the change to the Space Team was made has yet to be determined.
The toy was a last-minute redeco, along with Rapid Run and Treadbolt. As such, their packaging photography had to be completed before properly painted samples could be obtained, so the box-back photos use the original decos; Magnus’s box also shows the original Street Speed Team rather than the Space Team.
Magnus, Rapid Run, and Treadbolt were produced in smaller numbers than the rest of the normal retail Energon line (reportedly only about 10,000 units each) and were only available in the initial shipments of the line. However, Magnus’s shipment saw a very limited release, quickly replaced with the second assortment in the US, making him hard to come by. Magnus later showed up in much larger numbers in Australia, Canada, and some European markets, and was made available in Japan through e-HOBBY with the box altered via a black and white sticker, reflecting the Space Team’s addition. The European release showed the correct Mini-Cons, in addition to the standard multi-language changes.
