Hasbro's Evan Brooks @naveskoorb update with some new details the officially revealed tudio Series Commander 86 Ultra Magnus figure. Today we learn how they modeled the transformation on the original cartoon, as shown in the images below with the step-by-step process. We also get a look at the Commander with the Matrix, Junkions, and compared with other figures in the report below.
Hope everyone had fun at SDCC and enjoyed some of the new figures we have coming!
I have some catching up to do with a bunch of requested Insta posts but wanted to start with our SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus.
Bit of a short post but as I mentioned in our SDCC panel, this figures comes courtesy of the wonderful Tomo san at TT.
We crammed in a bunch of wonderful features and articulation that are standard to the scale and really make this a fun figure to play with.
Hopefully you all have been having fun collecting the Junkions so they can fully rebuild Ultra Magnus after his battle with Galvaron and his Sweeps.
Thanks for all the support and we'll have more info and posts coming soon.
Thanks!
Now THAT looks like Ultra Magnus. I am absolutely fine with Magnus being super robot sized. He's not even all THAT big either. He looks to be about the same size of CW Magnus which is a little shorter than TL Super Ginrai and Haslab Star Saber. At least he's shorter than Armada Prime in super mode in any event.
And while I understand not going the Siege/Kingdom Magnus route with the armor going on a base figure as it doesn't work that well in practice, I wouldn't mind this being more like G1 PMOP/Super Ginrai or Star Saber in that the smaller figure becomes a component of the torso area. So just like CW Magnus with the PE upgrade. I envision this getting a similar upgrade and I am all for it.
I couldn't care less about the detaching limbs but it's a non intrusive feature so that's cool. The torso coming apart like that might actually aide in the upgrade of that part to a full transforming cab robot.
I've been waiting for this Ultra Magnus my whole life.
