The size comparisons at the beginning of the video is fantastic!
oh thanks man, I'm glad you liked them 😀
Loving the Studio series lately..they have been killing it...i wonder what the New Springer ie going to look like...also im hoping they do a Devastator by the end of it👌🏽
Yeah same here and hoping they release a SS86 version. Also Soundwave since they released alread for Rumble and Frenzy.
me the SS86... just amazing!
yeah, I'm interested in that one as well...
Devastator is going to be massive
Yeah, D-Mac and Evan from Hasbro Transformers team stated that they’re planning on releasing every character that made an appearance in the 86’ movie. So Devastator, Soundwave, etc., are going to be done eventually in the SS86 series line.
@@44HardCase omg all the characters oh yes 🙌 I’m pumped I can’t wait to see what they do for making a g1 styled Megatron and his gun mode as well 🤔
Sky lynx is still my most wanted commander class but this guy and jetfire are tide for second place great figure
awesome bro!
I'm still trying to re-purchase sky lynx for a good price myself...
@chefatron I got mine from Hasboro Pulse. The official site. They reissued it. 79.99...
@chefatron I just checked and it's still available...
Long life, Chef! Was just wondering earlier today about what you've been up to recently... 😊
Really appreciate the side-by-side comparison with your 'well-loved' vintage G1 figure. Ah, you really LIVED, my bro! 🤩👍
hahahaha thanks so much brother!
oh yeah, I don't have the heart to sell or give away that vintage Ultra Magnus... it's like a big part of my childhood has been imbedded in that figure! thanks as always my friend 😀
@@chefatron 😊🙏
Chefatron will give his vintage Ultra Magnus to his kid.
He need to pass on that matrix of leadership to someone ..
Whether you believe it or not
Incredible review Chefatron!!! This is the best Ultra Magnus figure ever released. :D Keep on being amazing.
thank you so much my friend, as always 😀
@@chefatron You're most welcome as always my friend!! 😎👍
I hope they do make a commander class SS 86 Optimus Prime I’d buy it immediately. I don’t think it’s a perfect figure only because it’s just a bit too big imo. He shouldn’t tower over Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime and Galvatron. From what I remember of g1 the only time we see Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus together was during the rebirth series and they were basically the same size and height with eachother and Galvatron and Rodimus Prime was the same height and size as Galvatron and Ultra Magnus. That’s the only problem I have with it other than that it’s by far the best version of Ultra Magnus we’ve gotten yet and an immediate must buy to replace the kingdom version of Ultra Magnus
You scale nuts kill me. This figure is fantastic!
yeah I thought as much
I agree bro, I hope we get a new SS86 Optimus Prime
@@Getloose360 From what I've seen, he has to be out of scale, in order to be the car transporter that he transforms into. What do they expect him to do, mass shifting for real? Be able to carry other cars in vehicle mode, but to shrink down to be just a bit bigger than Optimus in robot mode? It will never happen.
Seriously...?! All these scale queens kill me with that whiney b.s.
FOR ONCE, JUST F**KING ONCE, JUST ENJOY THE FREAKING FIGURE AS IT WAS INTENDED FOR US TO ENJOY... DAMN. 🙄😮💨😑
Hasbro could finally give us a "perfect" Transformers figure, and some of these guys would b!+c# because it was "TOO PERFECT." It's damn ridiculous really, and gets super effing old, super effing fast... like Blurr with diarrhea ffs...😂
There's SO MUCH WRONG with ALL of these other Ultra Magnus figures we've gotten since Combiner Wars, at least, and the complaint is that a guy that transforms from a big rig car hauler, into a big hulking bot of a bot, is "too big"... 😳😧🫤🤔🤨🙄😮💨😑 Holy hell, man... WTF?!! 🙄🙄🙄
Look, I'm a big G1 guy myself and all, and I love the cartoons and '86 Movie 🎬 , like most collectors... but seriously, HAVE YOU EVEN PAID ATTENTION TO ALL OF THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CARTOON (OR MARVEL COMICS) INACCURACIES?!!! Everything from colors to scale are ALL OVER THE PLACE, in any given episode or scene... there's more consistent scale with the figures now, than you'll ever see in those beloved and "holy tomes" of cartoon entertainment.
Magnus SHOULD BE a bigger bot, and yes, bigger than a robotic T-Rex (and Grimlock is one of my favorite characters)...
This Magnus is likely THE BEST version we're likely to get for quite awhile, if ever again, as Hasbro's track record tends to take a huge leap forward (as with this guy), and then the next time, fall 3 steps backwards, or just fall right down a flight of freaking stairs, as they are prone to do, lol... 😅😅😅 So, my advice is to quit complaining and enjoy it. You'll be a lot happier, and so will everyone else. It's a damn toy, based on a fictional character. 🙄
@@darrenbent7601 From what it looks like, this new SS86 Magnus is about the same height as the original toy. The Kingdom Rodimus Prime is about the same height as the original toy too. I think in terms of scale that is pretty neat, that they match the original toys.
Damn,this thing is straight up masterpiece
I know right?! if it had die-cast metal pieces, it would be a legit MP figure!
I'll stick with the takara legends ex version. With the upgrades. But I love this one. And you're review is the winner. Thanks .
that's cool bro
oh thank you so much my friend 😀
I can't wait for the shattered glass version. That's the version I want.
cool bro!
I was thinking the same thing but I don't think they'll be doing the shattered glass anymore next year and if they do i doubt they will redo Ultra Magnus especially since the old one is still available on HasbroPulse...but I hope they continue to do them because moving forward it's the only line I'd like to continue collecting..🤞🏽🙏🏽
@iLLWiLL173 it will get a sg version. It's an entire new mold .... every mold get used more than once. It's the toy commandment. Lol
@@iLLWiLL173 perhaps but sadly, I've quit collecting the Shattered Glass line...
After seeing this awesome Ultra Magnus, I’m very excited for what Hasbro is going to eventually do for SS86 Optimus Prime.
oh yeah, definitely bro, I hope they don't leave us hanging ang really give us an awesome ss86 optimus prime
Didn't they already do an ss86 optimus using the earthrise mold?
@@heavy5013 no they haven't. you must be confusing this with another product.
the Earthrise mold has only been released twice as Earthrise Leader OP and repacked as Kingdom OP
the siege mold has been done several times though as Siege, 35th Anniv cell shaded, Nemesis Prime (Japan and US versions), Premium Finish
there hasn't been an Optimus Prime figure in the Studio Series 86 line
@@heavy5013 if you've seen photos of that, that's the fan made digibash photo
Hasbro did not fail.
I like to think the SS86 figure is Robert Stack and the Kingdom figure is Jack Angel, lol. It's kinda crazy to me to think the SS86 figure is the same size as the G1 toy. I remember thinking the G1 toy was so big, and now as an adult, I though the SS86 figure felt big but, damn, he's the same size. XD
cool man
yeah, I thought the old G1 toy and this SS figure would differ in size greatly but was also shocked at the identical height 😱
great review! a lot of love man!!!!!❤
thanks so much! my friend 😀
13:31 Thanks for these comparisons and measurements.
16:13 talk about a trip down memory lane. I too, didn't have an optimus prime, but got an ultra magnus.
no worries
yeah, so you know the frustration of not getting optimus as a kid
now that we're adults we have this strong compulsion to buy every single optimus prime figure released LOL 😆
@@chefatron when MPP10 came out, and I saw its oversizing/improving of MP10 was scaled to the same size as MP01 (the first masterpiece optimus, which was 1/24 scale, which was also the scale of M.A.S.K. vehicles), I got not only it, but also its magnus white and nemesis black versions.
Then when the simplified, but still oversized MMP10 color variants came out, I got those too. I think their sky blue version was my favorite because it reminded me of the blue of the G1 toy for ultra magnus. 😄
I guess my purchasing jadatoys 1/24, non transforming optimus & nemesis prime releases within the last year merely helps support your statement. I don't know if I have a problem, but I know they look great beside the M.A.S.K. Rhino.
@@lareh5501 that's actually quite a collection bro, I'm sure they look super awesome on display!
I didn't know that they were in scale with the M.A.S.K. vehicles... thanks !
Awesome review again bro!
thank you so much my friend 😀
I’ve seen a few reviews of this bro. Great looking figure looks on the big side when scaled against other figs. The other nitpick for me is no designated white figure. I guess they just did that for siege and kingdom versions. Still great looking figure!
yeah, I'm actually ok without the small white figure, kasi sobrang G1 cartoon accurate nito 😀
Those arms need the roll-ball thing that Transmetal 2 Optimus Primal - Optimal Optimus had. Still to this day his arms are possible (well, one of them is a little loose after twenty years of play, but, yeah). Man. That is cool.
cool man
I got this guy very recently, he’s my first commander class figure that I bought and I have to say he’s awesome 😎.
The Robot mode looks fantastic, very G1 accurate, big, beefy and Magnus. Ik most people are complaining about his shoulders being too wide, but it doesn’t bug me that much due to his complex transformation.
My major gripe with this figure is his transformation. It’s mostly straightforward but those knee joints are terribly designed, I couldn’t transform him properly the first time because I couldn’t get the knees to shift, due to them being way too tight.
I do also find his size to be perhaps a little too big, since he doesn’t scale well with characters like Galvatron and Cyclonus.
However, I am just nitpicking and the figure looks absolutely awesome and it’s well worth the price imo, the quality plastic feels premium, the joints are sturdy and he’s just awesome 😎.
very well said bro, valid points!
I don't know man, I'm pretty ok with the transformation
This review made me buy this big bot! Thank you!
hahahaha no prob man 😀
I just got him . An absolute beautiful figure.
oh awesome score bro! happy for you!
Mine should arrive sometime today and I can't wait. Love Ultra Magnus so this was an instant preorder. Probably the second best Ultra Magnus after X-transbots Stack.
awesome !
Mini masterpiece, you love to see it and i cant wait to own it. Hasbro with back 2 back spectacular Commander class figures.
yeah definitely !
Just got this guy last night. Great figure!!
awesome haul man! congrats!
Such a departure from the Diaclone roots of original toy. Very interesting.
oh yeah... I mean we give credit to Takara for the origins of the toys... but Hasbro really elevated the franchise/pop culture world of the transformers... if it were not for hasbro's mythologies... these figures and all other media related to it would not fly...
Thanks for the review. Just ordered mine from RoboRobo. Can't wait to get it.
no prob 😀
oh awesome score bro! where are you having it shipped? to Manila as well?
Just got mine in the mail today, 15/10. Someone from one of the 3rd party companies had to of helped make this figure
awesome score bro! oh really? wow!
I don't like the lower legs and feet- but wow, I can't believe how self-contained it is. Well done. CANNOT BELIEVE HE HAS THE MATRIX IN HIS CHEST!!! Awesome. Need it.
oh awesome bro!
yeah, I felt the same at first, but the whole figure just really grew on me quickly!
I know we can't take the scale in the cartoon 100% accurate but Magnus is supposed to be smaller than the dinobots , don't get me worng I pre-order it and I went gaga went it was announced, UM is my second fav autobot. I'm on the fence on his size tho. BTW I'm keeping my Siege, Kingdom and Spoiler Pack Magnuses lol
yeah, that's what I thought too...
awesome bro!
Hes a fantastic figure. Love the truck mode but he is way too outta scale, with dinobots who should be bigger
yeah, I agree bro
I love opening parts. This is awesome
oh yes, definitely !
A bit bigger than Grimlock, way bigger than Galvatron. The truck mode affected the robot mode's scale in order to carry the deluxe cars!!!
yes, i believe so
The only thing I find off is the visible head under the cab in alt mode. They could have solved that better. Otherwise this is the definitive Ultra Magnus depise the lack of the inner robot, it's no big deal. I'm ok for what it is.
Nice review.
yeah, I agree...
yes definitely
thanks so much! bro
I got this figure before reviews were being uploaded. And this is the best Ultra Magnus out there. Definitely gets 10 out of 10 for me. Hasbro really knocked this one out of the park.
@@brianbabin6333No it's not. Go back and watch the 86 movie and you'll see how much bigger Magnus is compared to the other Autobots. The scale is pretty much right on the money.
oh awesome bro!
yeah, definitely !
@@brianbabin6333 UM's scale has always been whack: in the sunbow charts he's as tall as grimlock, in the movie he fluctuates from being springer's and rodimus' size to towering over them. This is them most likely giving him an offical scale
best commander yet and best ultra magnus for sure. so glad they eventually got rid of the white prime. the engineering is amazing. only thing are the outward shoulders. they could easily made the soft ratchets. other than that his perfect.
oh definitely bro! "soft ratchets" yes! that was the technical term I was looking for when describing what they could have done with the outward shoulder hinges, thanks man!
it's a lot like the MP figure. Probably one of my favourite figures for the year
yeah, I thought so too
awesome man!
They seriously need to do a commander class optimus prime because optimus prime with that small trailer is not cutting it.
I agree!!! please hasbro Takara Tomy make it happen!!!
I'm hoping that the Studio Series aesthetic goes beyond the movies, and hopefully go to the comics (after all, they were drafted in studios). I hope that transformers that were only shown in the comics get the same treatment as the ones from the movies, both the live action or the animated movie. Or, what about the ones that have been in the G1 cartoon, but not in the movie? They need some attention too.
yes me too!
yes agree bro
Uhh… War for Cybertron?
Got mine from Robo Robo too. He is a very big boy!
oh awesome ! I love that store!
yeah he is LOL
DAMN HE THICC!
jokes aside he looks really great, would definitely had picked him up if I was collecting 86 figs.
awesome bro! happy hunting
Epic
thanks so much!
ER Optimus and SS86 Dinobots scale are not the problem. Like half the deluxe minibots, SS86 Ultra Magnus breaks the cartoon scale that most of the modern line tried to comply with. He WAS NOT taller/bigger than the Dinobots. He was only slightly taller than Rodimus, Optimus, Galvatron, Clyclonus etc in both the TF movie and Season 3 etc. Hasbro has basically been sliding back into ignoring scale again, regardless of the toy line (they ignore cartoon scale on their MP stuff too, so it isn't something new). It allows them to charge more by upping the class bracket/price and being bigger does allow them more leeway with engineering/design. It's a good figure. But I am not going to display it on my Season 3-4 roster shelves. Just going to stick to my Kingdom Ultra Magnus for that. I am displaying 86 Magnus with Ginrai and other randoms instead. If you want to see how Magnus actually fared on the cartoon scale compared to all the other characters, there are charts available on TFW2005 and elsewhere.
that's cool man, I see your point
The knee joints aren't as bad as transforming Double Dealer into bird mode!
yeah, I agree bro
I'm out of space. I don't know if I can make room for figures of this scale...
...but I have to try!
yes indeed! you must make space for this awesome figure!
11:28 Ultra Magnus gimmick was a really good inclusion by Hasbro. The Prowl Ironhide 2 pack on the other hand was a terrible Hasbro idea. They shouldve made the 2 pack Prowl Ironhide no damage and merely include swappable parts for collectors to recreate that death scenes. Hasbro needs to give collectors choice.
I agree man... but look out, Hasbro is rumored to be releasing a dead Ratchet & Brawn 2-pack LOL
100% I'm going to get this 🤩
awesome! happy hunting man
god i want this. the prices of figures here in Canada is un real.
oh so sorry to hear that... I hope you find one for a decent price...
You should buy the nemesis prime repaint of baiwei star leader. The plastic quality is much improved.
sorry man, I'm boycotting all Baiwei products
How much that in Php? Did you buy in Greenhills?
got it from a shop in Singapore
This is why on alot of figures I get 2 so I don't have to keep going from robot to vehicle mode alot.
cool bro, but quite expensive though...
I used to do that back in 2007 to 2010 when transformers were still relatively affordable...
@chefatron yeah I don't do it with alot mostly the bayformers bc there very hard to transform back and forth. Like for the main line revenge of the fallen jetfire I had to get a friend to help me put him in ship mode and since then I have never took him out of it.
Pro tip: disconnect the truck portion from the body for transformation. It's much easier to manage
Ss86 commander optimus with removable battle damage... ooooohhh😮❤
man, the instructions never said anything about that... I was wondering if that were possible but didn't want to risk ruining the figure by trying it... thanks for the tip, though 😀
86 prime would be great as he would have the bigger trailer and slightly bigger than er prime
oh yeah definitely !!!! I hope they give us that!
Did you know you can remove the cab from the trailer as well?
no way!!! the instructions don't say anything about that... I was wondering if that were possible but didn't want to risk ruining the figure, considering the amount of money I paid for it including shipping...
cool
thanks so much!
I want him
happy hunting man!
Albino Prime and his trailer body armor.
perhaps
Call me crazy, but after seeing the scale, I cancelled my pre-order for him. Dont get me wrong, he is really good looking, but I rather have my Magnus smaller than Grimlock and bigger than Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime, but not by that much and not towering over them. The Kingdom version still looks nice enough to me, and at least I save myself from getting another Commander figure and burning my wallet more, cause the prices are crazy nowadays! Who knows, maybe they'll do another version in the distant future that's 1. more in scale with the others, 2. still toon accurate and has a proper alt mode, and 3. still has the white Prime feature. That might be an even better go-to Magnus than this one. But for now, I think the Kingdom version will suffice for me.
Plus it's a good time to explore other cool Transformers more outside of G1 such as that upcoming Legacy United Chase and some Beast Wars characters. By getting another Magnus, I just spend more on G1 for yet another updated version of the same characters. Will still get 86 Ratchet and Frenzy (cause I have no versions of those characters in my collection), but for Magnus, I think the Kingdom one should still hold well enough.
that's all good man... I know of other collectors who still prefer the kingdom or siege Magnus over this one
@@SlagSlugtheDinobot valid point bro
@@chefatronOK phew, glad I am not alone in that. Maybe if it goes on discount I'll consider it, but really gotta save up and rather have scale accuracy with decent enough figure at the moment. They even said they will likely revist Astrotrain in SS86 though honestly, I think the Siege/Earthrise one is fine enough.
@@SlagSlugtheDinobot that's awesome bro! good decision
Amazing figure but I think the scale is way off.
yeah, I think you're right...
That it is what I call a masterpiece, I'm so glad to have skipped the kingdom version.
I know right?! yeah, the kingdom Ultra Magnus figure's price suddenly dropped like crazy 🤣
B - E - A - U - T - I - F - U - L
indeed!
Maganda pero parang too big to scale.
Kung makaka-Commander Class Optimus Prime, dapat meron siyang extra accessories katulad ng axe at Roller...
yup, pero I'm sure gagawa sila ng SS86 Optimus Prime... para ok na scale
This version of ultra Magnus is definitely a compromise of what they wanted to bring to the fans. The spring loaded chest pop open gimmick hails back to the Transformers 86 movie; whereas his chest in the cartoon opened up exactly the same way. So I guess it was a nod to that particular scene.
yeah, i figured as much... I do worry about the springs becoming loose over time, but it is an amazing gimmick, something we really deserve for the commander class price point...
For $95 it's necessary for this awesome figure have everything it comes with.
yeah, definitely ! so glad they had the budget for this figure this time around...
How much would sell your wfc ultra Magnus
already sold it for usd$30.
Ok
28:00 Phew .... lol
hahahaha thanks man
I want to buy him but the price scares me
yeah, perhaps on clearance then?
Wow, that’s a transformer without any shortcuts in design.
I know right?! and they seem to have all the budget for this figure LOL
No wonder Ultra Magnus not worthy with the Matrix
hahahaha
G1 Magnus has not aged gracefully.😄
sadly, but you can tell I had an amazing childhood right?
They got that scale way wrong
yeah, I thought as much...
Otherwise it's awesome but I don't feel I can display it with the other studio 86 figures
@@chefatron
Wow. The hands and legs can be removed like being chopping off....too violence.
yeah, just like what they did with Studio Series 86 Cup
SS86 Ultra Magnus is bigger than WFC Trilogy Ultra Magnus.
Yeah and he also costs more
yes
Parang out of scale kasi si Grimlock mas malaki talaga yun kay Ultra Magnus. Halos kasinglaki lang ni Ultramagnus si Rodimus Prime.
yup, medyo nga
Now we just need a proper Studio Series Arcee. Cause Hasbro has always disrespected Arcee with cheap, zero dollar budget, schlock, garbage engineering releases of her looking like the queen of backpacks.
Didn’t expect this guy to be an absolute Beef Cake
hahahaha but he looks amazing!
@@chefatron he really does! Looks like Hasbro and Takara took the MP Magnus and scaled it down and made it more simplistic in terms of the engineering and transformation.
Short of MP this is the best one they’ve done .. that being said .. this one does a couple things BETTER than the MP , buttflap
That’s crazy I couldn’t get a prime either until power master.. so UM was my FIGURE of FIGURES
indeed!
Just like Asuna from SAO said!
Hasbro does The Masterpiece Vibe, with seperation gimmick!
So pass, and no!
cool bro, but you should really take a second look at this figure...
Shattered glass
perhaps, but I doubt it...
If you want a perfect recreation of his G1 look, he's great, but that look was a product of limitations at the time. Compared to Siege Ultra Magnus, Siege has far more details in the aesthetic, better proportions, a simpler transformation, and more playability. Compared to RiD 2001 Ultra Magnus, he looks less like a car carrier in alt mode and doesn't have the same functionality. This is a toy that is great for nostalgia, but objectively bad.
valid points man
transformers studio series dotm dread hatchet dog
ok
A nice new Commander class Optimus Prime would be great... honestly, I don't know why they didn't just downscale their MP-10 Optimus trailer and tweak it a little for the Kingdom/Earthrise version, instead of wasting budget on that plain jane tiny pee wee trailer... but, hey... it's Hasbro, so even THEY don't know why they do some of the stupid things they do.😂😂😂
But, yes, they definitely need to put a nicely done SS86 commander class Optimus together SOON...! Earthrise/Kingdom bot is great, so maybe just a slight upscale and some tweaks, and then focus on a really great trailer base mode with a Roller that does more than just... roll. 😅
What I really want to see is a Titan class budget for a freaking awesome POWERMASTER OPTIMUS PRIME AND APEX ARMOR SET... Commander class just wouldn't be enough budget or proper size, without having to do them separately, and a year or more apart... POWERMASTER Prime has to be a big @$$ bot, but he's not a Titan unless he's merged with the armor... I keep hoping, but until Hasbro gets him right, I have my awesome Fans Toys PMOP (Power Baser).
That said, this is a really great Ultra Magnus figure. The best we've gotten thus far...! I'm anxiously, yet patiently, awaiting my pre-order to arrive in November...!
I'll be relegating the Earthrise UM to use as my modern RiD version, as that's virtually the truck style from the 2000's toy line... and frankly, im surprised we didn't already get a HS or online exclusive repainted as the 2000 RiD Magnus.
I'll keep my upgraded CW Magnus for his alt mode, and for other potential display options, since the PE upgrades fixed what Hasbro/IDW got very wrong...!
oh I agree bro
very good points you have here man
you're right about that powermaster optimus prime
Unless yours comes with yellow hands and other parts like mine did. F hasblo
sorry to hear that man
นี่พ่อกู
cool!
