Dangard Ace Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 What is that hideous thing in front of UM? ...the one that looks like an anoxeric turkey with two heads wearing a tie-dyed shirt? Thank God for the Binaltech/Alternators line. As for MP-2, I'll pass. Not paying that much for just a simple repaint. I think its's Flame Convoy from the new TF series. Don't really care about it since every other TF is a Convoy. Sorta what put me off the newer Gundams. Every damn robots a Gundam/Convoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadzone Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Ultra Magnus repaint reminds me of when Superman got a new all white uniform. As Norm Macdonald said: "Problem with the old suit... not gay enough!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southpaw Samurai Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 It's still sort of sad to see a naked Ultra Magnus. Would it have taken all that much effort to construct a simple trailer that transformed into something resembing his armor, like the well done unfinished custom one shown in either this or the previous Transformer thread? Who cares if it didn't make him bigger (frankly, having him roughly the same height as Optimus looks cool anyway). For a crappy plastic trailer/armor, they probably could've even chalked on another $20-30 and people would go for it...I don't know how many are going to go for him as is... At this rate, we'll have a black convoy/Scourge, and then a grey/black one they'll call MotorMaster to go with the Stunticon BT/Alts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Randy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Solscud007 got any pics of that "unknown" transformer in "robot form?" maybe soemone would be able to Identify it? as with the binaltech/alternators Be nice to have decepticon "JETS!!!"

eriku Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) I don't care for Ultra Magnus (in any of his incarnations), but didn't we already see the cardboard trailer that the MP version is coming with? There was a photo from a few weeks ago that showed it in the background. Edited February 22, 2005 by eriku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If he had the trailer I might have considered it, but I'm taking a pass on UM as well. Just wanted to show the pic is all. Black Prime might be cool. Wish they'd do a new masterpiece though. They could probably make a sweet Megatron or something at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what UM looks like under the armor in the Transformers comic. Just like Prime but White. They never showed him without the armor in the movie or cartoon. Only in the Dreamwave Comic.

motley Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) well, its all based off the original toy. the original G1 ultra magnus was a car carrier trailer with a white version of prime to pull it. the trailor converted into armor that the prime toy fit into. the original diaclone version of ultra magnus was a powered up version of convoy (prime). so its less the toy being based off the comic, than the comic reflecting the original toy and being re-referenced in this new toy.

Greyryder Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Don't know what that says, butI think that's an unpainted prototype for HBS-01. The hybrid system Galaxy Convoy.
