The sheer joy and happy that Magnus gives me is not board-appropriate to describe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif)

Of course, when it comes to Magnii (or Magnuses if you want to be picky), pretty much as long as he doesn't look like a straight-up white Prime repaint, I tend to be happy.

So, yeah. I'm an easy sell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-arcee.gif)


Between that and Ultra Mammoth, you kinda got Magnus double-teamed over the weekend, didn't you?

For anyone who saw them in real life over the weekend, do you think it's possible they hid a third "hand-held blaster" mode in the Shockwave mold? I can't tell what's going on in the back, or where exactly his legs end up, but I'm hoping something can swing down to approximate a pistol.


Probably like how Energon Shockblast could have a "gun" "mode", Shockwave could get the legs unfolded and be held in a way approximating a pistol. But intentionally? I saw no sign of it.

What is with the colors of the figures in the pictures? The coloring is too bright.


You're new to the whole Photoshop retouched package photos thing? Where have you been for the last decade?



Oddly enough, the colors in the photos of the Combaticons aren't nearly bright enough to match the toys that were on display.

I could be wrong, because I wasn't at Botcon, but the ones on display look like the same hand painted ones that were on display at Toy Fair. I'd imagine that the actual retail versions likely won't be as bright.


You're correct the retail versions were still fully painted samples, whereas the SDCC version was already in molded plastic colors. The vibrance on the regular version won't be the same, but I wouldn't automatically assume the bare plastic will appear more muted. As for the photos not depicting the brightness of the colors properly, I'm not sure it's even possible to saturate a photo that much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-blitz.gif)

Triple-teamed if you add in the Prime Magnus from a couple weeks back. And I've loved every minute of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-silverbolt.gif)

I will admit that I wish the FoC Magnus had the Hammer instead of a sword, though.
