Title:
Ultra Magnus (Robot Mode)
Description:
Ultra Magnus (Voyager Class, 2012)
Series / Number: 1 / 006
Takara release date: December 15, 2012
Takara ID number: AM-27
Accessories: Blaster cannon/Battle hammer & missile (Hasbro only), Arms Micron Ulma (TakaraTomy only)
Part of the fourth wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, this larger-scale Magnus comes with a (non-firing) rocket, as well as massive artillery cannon that transforms into a "battle hammer”, with its hammerhead illuminated by an LED. Unlike all the other Voyager Class light-up weapons in the line, the cannon is capable of locking into hammer mode. These weapons can peg onto any of his numerous 5mm mounting points. Nominally, the instructions tell you to peg the cannon’s hammerhead posts onto both of the flip-out 5mm socket-mounts on his truck bed, but it can only securely peg onto one of them at a time thanks to slightly mis-aligned pegs/mounts.
He is mis-transformed in his stock photography, with the rear truck wheels left sticking out of his lower legs, rather than folding around his calves. It also depicts him having additional paint operations which were omitted from the final product, such as the red paint on the upper half of his chest, and the silver paint on his abdomen, smokestacks, and truck bed sides. Additionally, the weapon’s locking mechanism appears to have been retooled for the final toy. These stock photo errors are present in the robot mode render seen in the Top Trumps section of this page, with said render (from the waist up) being used as this toy’s package art.
The TakaraTomy release, part of the ninth wave of Japanese Prime toys, features numerous differences from the Hasbro release. His blue plastic is brighter and non-metallic, his grille, toes, and sculpted shoulder rockets are a brighter gray, and his arms, thighs, and hands are a darker gray. Most of his paint operations have been replaced with customer-applied foil stickers, and of what paint remains, his white has been replaced by yellow, his silver is brighter, and his red is more matte. Instead of the Hasbro accessories, he comes with his Arms Micron partner Ulma, who transforms into his hammer. The hammer can still be wielded two-handed, but doesn’t make a particularly convincing artillery cannon.
