I love Classics Magnus, and this one doesn't interest me at all. So bland.
I would prefer if Classics Magnus had this one's chrome grill and blue faceplate, but not so much that I'd give up the rest of the Classics colors. |

I prefer the TakaraTomy one.
The one on the back of Battle for Autobot City Magnus' box though, that one beats them all. Randy --------------------  |

Yes, absolutely, that would be the best possible version. Shame it doesn't exist. This post has been edited by ChessPieceFace: Aug 30 2012, 12:52 PM |

Yes, absolutely, that would be the best possible version. Shame it doesn't exist. Yes that's the one. I thought the Optimus 2 pack had the photos updated to reflect the actual figure. Even the one at BotCon 2006 didn't have that much paint on him (he had a blue head even). At least the Skywarp on the back of the box exists (it was at BotCon 2006 and a person on ACToys (?) had one too colored like that). I'd kill someone for that Skywarp...

Red decoy is hard to come by surprisingly.
As for the SCF, the TFWiki doesn't even know if it was actually given out as said. Back in the early 2000's, I remember seeing one or two on eBay. But at the time I couldn't afford throwing hundreds of dollars to rare Skywarp memorabilia. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) I search daily to see if one ever shows up again.

*whistles waiting to hear offers of first borns and whatnot*
nah just kidding, But PC? do you consider the new dark energon Prime Starscream as a Skywarp? or does the Arms Micron version fill that notch? but back on topic: I might just Buy this Magnus and use it as Hate plague armor Prime .. maybe toss on a thin coat of shiny clear coat --------------------  |

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of packaging it'll have. Considering that it says "Classics" instead of "Generations" like the GDO stuff did.

I suppose if this came out in the US I could be convinced to buy it and do a parts swap... add the new head, grill and thighs to the old Classics UM and it'd be pretty much perfect.

I wasn't too interested in this to begin with, and I'm less so now. It just looks too much like the US version with a bunch of things dropped than anything really special.
But admittedly I don't have any great nostalgia for "Naked Magnus", so I'm not really the market for this anyway. Looks like it'll please the people who do have that nostalgia, so that's pretty cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) |

Cab isn't exciting but I much prefer that robot. The white Magnus cab was my first real exposure to the Optimus mold as a kid so I have a lot of fondness for that color scheme.

Nice that they make new full color boxes for these releases. Makes sense he's United and not Henkei.

He belongs in the United line. Now that's Ultra Magnus. I'm ashamed to admit how long I owned Classics Ultra Magnus before I realized Ultra Magnus does not actually have blue legs. |
