The last few seconds of the video really nailed down the idea that we are all, even perhaps inadvertently, item collection pack rats. Anyone up for a wee bit of cheese or styrofoam?
To be fair, though, I don't think either of us are alright at this point. I bought a Titan-class robot with Optimus Prime's face that turns into an adult-sized sniper rifle. I mean, who does that? ME, THAT'S WHO.
He really does look good. I like SIEGE Ultra Magnus because he was accurate to the original. But this new SS Magnus looks great and is animation accurate. He is really bulky but i do like that about him.
Ultra Magnus is my second favourite Autobot, behind Elita-1, so getting this MAJESTY in hand was a moment. I almost cried because it's everything I ever wanted and meant I could finally, FINALLY, get rid of my Siege Magnus that rotted behind SS86 Wreck-Gar for almost 2 years. Unless we can ever get a TFA Elita-1 that BECOMES Blackarachnia, Magnus is my favourite figure ever. But come on Hasbro, give me Cree Summer's magnum opus, GIVE ME ELITA-1 TO BLACKARACHNIA NOW
Wasn't too sure if I should dip into SS86 Magnus down the line, especially while I do have Kingdom Magnus, but I think you've convinced me. At least if I come across him when I can get more toys or found him less than £90.
SS86 UM is great and (for me) is worth the hefty commander class price tag. All I need now is a Galvatron in Marvel UK comics colours about the same size as him and I will be as happy as a pig with a bucket.
While I'm not exactly the fondest of CW Magnus as a figure, his visual design and character in the comics remains as possibly my favorite incarnation of the big guys, and maybe even my favorite Autobot.
It’s so crazy how similar us collectors/fans of Transformers are in terms of our love and appreciation of the different media (comics, shows, toys) yet how polarizing we can be when it comes to our favorite. This is especially true when discussing our favorite characters. I have NEVER been a big fan of Ultra Magnus. I think I just hated his toy as a kid and that sullied his reputation ever since. It’s the traditional design I dislike the most I guess. I hate those stupid plain “missiles” they never update for some reason. They’re always just the boring red, barely pointed pieces of plastic that don’t even try to look intimidating or like anything at all. Magic Square has really been the only design I’ve ever really liked. :/
Me when Studio series 86-21 commander class Transformers: The movie Ultra Magnus, has big broad shoulders

Gavin, my friend, the answer is easy: GET A BIGGER SHELF!

“Always accumulate” has to be the TRDQ motto

Personally speaking, while I am glad people are happy with this figure I prefer the Siege/Kingdom mold due to its armor gimmick.
When I have to remove an old figure from the shelf to fit a new one-

Well now we need an RiD magnus review. Bonus combination with the fancy RiD yellow prime? 🤔
"Are you...alright?"
Great review.
I had the contrary feeling towards a figure I got recently.
I was hoping you'd cover this big guy.
One I still need to get for my Magnus shrine! Glad we both have such good taste like a ferrero rocher
