Op "We take fifty paces and then turn and fire, the first to go down is the looser!!"
Other guy "OK, your on, I won't loose to a walking junk pile!!"
OP "Now you done it, you are so dead!!!"
Other guy "Bring it on!!"
I'd think being the looser would help them aim and fire faster.

Though I suppose if they're too loose, they might not be able to lift their weapon...

What's this about Magnus' forearms being misassembled? I've owned that figure for ages and I guess I never knew there was anything wrong with it. (We're talking about the deluxe Armada Prime repaint from Universe 1.0?)
The forearm covers are in the wrong sides, so the cutout to let the elbows fully bend are on the outside rather than inside, blocking some articulation.

My Ultra Magnus' arms are fine. Thing is, maybe I fixed them myself? I did buy a pin punch about 15 years ago to fix some TFs. It's very possible that I totally forgot about the whole thing. And you can see where I gnawed away at the thighs to open them up and turn them backwards so he can articulate better. I do remember the thigh surgery. 🤷

What did you do with the thighs? I just unscrewed the lower legs, swapped the thighs, and put the lower legs back on.

I need to check whether the forearms on mine were a problem. And just to see this again, what a gorgeous release that really captures the "G1 projected onto non-G1 and it's amazing" energy of the pre-Classics era.

Dang. I'm going to have to buy this Ultra Magnus now. I always liked how that inner robot looks. It looks somehow generic and heroic at the same time.

On the rare occasion that we get the inner robot Magnus anymore, I don't like the green highlights they tend to have. I don't know where the green came from and for me it doesn't work. But Universe Magnus is beautiful.

A neat little design let down by build quality. All those half-mushroom peg ports make it so that those joints are either loose out of the box or if you tighten them, prone to pop out. Her weapon’s okay but the handle’s a smidge too short for her to assume more natural two handed poses. I prefer the Prime forge design anyway.

The apron confounds me something fierce. It’s three pieces individually jointed but in practice, they can’t really move past each other and look weird separated.
