Platinum Edition Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus from the Hasbro Toy Fair 2013 Event.
Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus comes with the Forge Of Solus Prime seen in season 2 of Transformers Prime. In addition, this new Magnus figure is a heavily retooled version of the Weaponizer Optimus Prime figure. Though it uses an Optimus figure as a base, the wealth of new unique parts leaves it looking substantially different.

Definitely need that Magnus

Is this guy available for sale anywhere for a decent price? lol. I like the mold, not the price.
Stepper
Is the same size as Weaponizer Optimus Prime
Lazerwave
How big is Platinum Ultra Magnus anyways?
Stepper
For those whom have missed owning the more expensive original Superlink Convoy,here is the chance to get this Optimus Prime at reasonable price.

Can't wait for Platinum edition Ultra Magnus! At least two

I was kind of digging this until I noticed on the back of the packaging shots that the shoulders stick out of the sides of the truck. That is a serious 'do not want' right there.

I am betting this might be an Amazon/shared BBTS exclusive, which I'm fine with as G2 Bruticus was easier to get that way. I don't mind paying $40 for this. I dig the wealth of new parts. I just don't like how the face is painted blue. Prefer silver. Blue looks weird.
I might use this with my CHUG collection and use Beast Hunters Prime for my Prime collection.

I'm curious to know what the Ultra Magnus figure's Platinum status is intended for. If it's a Platinum line figure, obviously, he won't be sold in stores. If he's actually appears in the cartoon, there will also, obviously be a demand for him, but, wouldn't it make more sense to have him released in stores, if that is the case?
I do like how his hammer seems to have a turbine engine built into though; that's rather awesome!
Digilaut
Not sure why they went with that paintjob. He has a really white body where he could have gone with some more blue, and then they painted his face blue? Huh.
I think I'll actually pick up the new voyager mold (don't own the current one yet, although I might pick that one up too at some point), so it's ok. Secretly though? I wouldn't mind a bigger Magnus than the FE Prime I own, and sizewise this would have been perfect – but I don't think I want to own this version now.
Voyager it is.

Ultra Magnus doesn't impress me much. Even Optimus Prime looks good and I don't ever want to own the mold. Ultra Magnus just seems boring to me, perhaps because the mold is still so new.

I just noticed the back of the box pics of Magnus. With the shoulders down a bit further, he looks great! Is he going to be mass release?

Our friend here is mistaken. That is a remolded Weaponizer Optimus Prime.
I guess this show is as much confirmation as we could ask for that Magnus will be in Prime, and he will be a BIG character. He's already got, what, 4 daft toys?
REMINATOR
Where did you see that? For my sake, I'm hoping it's the same color as the original so I don't have to purchase another one. Already got the regular color and the Roadbuster colors.
Stepper
They even reissue the Animated Leader class Ultra Magnus,what in the world.
Thundershot
No pics of Grimlock vs Bruticus? I really hope Bruticus isn't colored differently again… I can't resist…
REMINATOR
Oh, in that accessory content, and here I was thinking of 4 changers, lol. Can't think of any TF that has 4 mode at the moment, lol.
Mechafire
1. Robot
2. Robot with guns sticking out
3. Truck
4. Truck with guns sticking out
Seems legit, no?
REMINATOR
At the back of his UM Platinum Box, it said 4 Modes. I didn't know Weaponizer O.Prime/UM has 4 modes, what are they?

Interesting redeco of the Weaponizer Optimus Prime mold (which I passed on since I'm quite happy with FE Optimus). Ultra Magnus may be a buy simply for the Hammer of Solus accessory (depending on whether or not third parties can get one out faster and at a comparable price).
