Title:
Ultra Magnus
Description:
Ultra Magnus (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
Accessories: Laser rifle, display stand, 2 rocket launchers
Known designers: Don Figueroa (concept artist)
Titanium Cybertron Heroes Ultra Magnus is an all-new sculpt constructed mostly of die-cast metal. For the first time, Ultra Magnus’s cab and trailer are one piece, rather than a partformer like the Generation 1 toy version, although the cab is only held on by a peg and can be detached, resulting in a small, super-deformed cab. The toy’s wheels can all spin. He transforms very similarly to the original toy, but the aforementioned truck cab now folds down into his back rather than detaching and reconnecting, with his head flipping out of the back of the cab.
Ultra Magnus is armed with a gray laser rifle and two shoulder-mounted, non-firing rocket launchers which, due to some mistake, face top-down when attached in robot mode. It is unknown whether the launchers were somehow mirror-flipped in manufacture or if his shoulder assemblies were switched. The latter is perhaps supported by the orientation of molding detail shown in the instructions and on the Generation 1 toy, although the tampographs could argue against this. One can easily "correct” this by unscrewing his blue forearms and swapping out the shoulders, allowing the launchers to face top-up.
Unfortunately, due to the robot mode-oriented design of this figure, as well as size limitations, the rear ramp is now solely part of his legs as detail and cannot fold down, nor is there clearance space for any other vehicles to be transported. For some reason, on the side of each of Magnus’s legs/ the back of his vehicle mode trailer there are white flip-out wing shaped panels. The paint on these panels flakes off easily, so it’s best never to touch them. Like most, if not all, 6-inch Titaniums, his joints are very floppy. His left shoulder on some copies is one of the loosest (if not the loosest) ball joints on a Transformers figure ever. In another possible mis-assembly issue, the figure’s knees bend far more forwards than backwards. Strangely, the molded detail on the tops of the thighs contradicts this being a mis-assembly. The vehicle mode also has a hard time staying as it should as very few pieces actually tab together.
His chest panel can flip up to reveal a shallow recess for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, though no Matrix accessory to date is actually flat enough to fit inside.
He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6” "Cybertron Heroes”, with a unique, removable nameplate.
