Transformers Generations Voyager BotCon 2013 Reveals

What you want is a Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, because those demans are completely and utterly unreasonable for a line like Generations.

If we get a Generations Magnus anytime soon it would most likely be the IDW Magnus design like how every current Genereations figure is based on the IDW designs, and as such it would require a parts-forming armour, and that's something I don't see Hasbro doing anytime soon.

Look again at comment #317. I took out the feature suggestions that would not fit a Generations figure and added the suggestion of using a long nosed car-carrier truck for his alt-mode as an update of his original alt-mode.

I'm not even into Beast Wars stuff, but Rhinox looks great. The alt mode makes him look like the toy weighs around five pounds. Super beefy!

So, since a MTMTE Whirl and Tailgate have been announce, was there no prototype pics of either of them? During the panel?

They were shown at the panel but won't be revealed to the public until a later date. I'd assume SDCC will show them off.

Rhinox and Waspinator! Gotta love some Beast Wars appreciation! : D

have you seen the titanium magnus?

it would be very simple to convert that design into a voyager (or larger) figure.

the titanium magnus only had a few flaws.. flaws that could very easily be solved by more modern engineering.

an opening matrix chamber and all that jazz is asking too much.. and i agree that, if we get an MP magnus, he'll come with those features.

That Rhinox looks amazing, even to someone like myself who missed out on the Beast War series when it came out.

Where s a picture of the new swerve? I flipped threw the thread but couldn't find it. Is there a bot mode pic of Skidz?

To me, a "true" Ultra Magnus toy would be like an Ultra Class sized upscaling of the Titanium Series 6" Ultra Magnus figure but made using today's Transformers toy making technologies and designed to have tons of points of articulation in robot mode and a built in Matrix chamber and having the chest be able to open to accept a removable Matrix of Leadership accessory and be perfectly in scale with Classics Voyager Optimus Prime in both modes. And I don't think that it would be a good thing for an Ultra Magnus toy to be a brick-former. I see brick-formers as bad toys and as anachronisms when compared to today's transformers figures. That's why I prefer the Classics seeker mold over the G1 Seeker mold.

Don't have your hope that much up. A" true" Ultra Magnus toy would have to include not only a transformable toy but also a parts-forming armor to put around said toy. That's just TOO much work to put into it unless they just go full G1 unmovable brick glory on him.

But if they did go and make an UM it would most likely be based on the IDW design like every toy we've seen so far.

But, instead of becoming a cab-over style Car-Carrier, he transforms into a fictional version of Movieverse Prime's vehicle mode in Ultra Magnus' colors but pulling a permanently attached car-carrier-type trailer.And I don't think that it would be a good thing for an Ultra Magnus toy to be a brick-former.

I hope they make a Voyager Galvatron

Seconded. Though I'm really happy they made Rhinox a toy that was going to be released in 2008 who knows maybe they'll use other unused 2008 idea such as SUV Soundwave
