Many remember various third party companies that were in the building stages for a “City Commander” type armor for use on MP-02 Magnus. It seems one did pull through (Dreamtoys), and TFW member payton34 shares with us a pictorial review:
I remember these things being in the planning stages a few years ago, but thought production was halted. Apparently, they were still released but not for a mass market. I was able to snag one (courtesy of Zfeakye) and here are a few pics of it.The box is nice looking and would make a great display piece for all of you MISB collectors.

Yeah, I did see that…But still.
One would think they would try to make the face a bit better looking…At least.

Look at the op start date. This thread, like many, is a testament to just how far both official.and 3rd party figures have come. For some of us who have been here through all of it (and even longer), it's easier for us to appreciate this progression.

I am very sorry for bringing this up again but does anyone actually own this? I want a proper Trailer for my MP02 for a long time now and this looks the thing, at least in Trailer Mode.
If you sell this, hit me a message. Thanks

This upgrade kit should have been melted before ever coming out.

Looks like a MP Magnus wearing a cosplay Ultra Magnus costume..

Well, I think I paid about $100-125 for it. But then I sold it on Ebay a few months back for $800+.

I'm sorry, but that just looks absolutely hilarious.

wan, I think you did a really good job with this. I think it's proof that this thing with its flaws can still have its merit
This version still has the top spot in my book.
I still think some kind of transform or modification can be done to where the head of Magnus doesn't have to be the head of Ultra Magnus, wearing it like a helmet. That's the main thing that attributes to the big head. Also, after having the bigger head, the rest of Ultra Magnus looks out of proportion. I was always totally cool with Ultra Magnus being rather large, even if it's not "cartoon accurate".
I'd rather it be more accurate to Studio Ox's artwork:

I wanted to like this, I really did. But the comments about it looking like a toddler in a halloween costume nailed it.

What head is that from?

There's no nice way to say it…this looks bad. It's not entirely their fault, given that MP-02 just wasn't made to accommodate G1 UM armor.
It looks ok cause he spaced the parts out in a way that the proportions look good.

No need to thank me man…I have to apologize for the delayed shipping…
In any case, nice review!
