Third party company Newage Toys have shared images of the color renders of their H27W Conquest & H28 Octavian (Legends Scale G1 Ultra Magnus) via their Weibo account.
Newage brings us an Ultra Magnus design based on the original G1 toy idea of a separate white Optimus Prime figure which uses parts of the vehicle mode as an armor. The design of the 2 components is close to the G1 animation style and we are sure it’s a great alternative for Legends scale collectors.

I am not ashamed to admit that earlier this week I ordered MS B04 Ultra Magnus: $38.
Extra armor I’ll never take off? Apparently priceless.

That’s not a bad idea to get NA Delta Magnus and keep MS Magnus on the shelf. I might do that too.

If I can only buy one (and at $85…yeah, I can only buy one), I'm going to wait for their seemingly inevitable NA Powered Convoy. Then I can sell my MS Powered Convoy and keep my MS Ultra Magnus.

Here's hoping that one of the 3D printing gurus on here comes up with a fix! Either replacement hand blocks, or something that can just plug into the hands to cover them up.

They would bother me even less than that, if NA kindly provided two simple flat white blocks to replace those fists with, in robot form.
I mean, ok, partsforming… Heresy! But still, I wouldn't have complained one bit.

I have to say, four visible fists does not bother me nearly as much as two visible truck cabs.

Still bonkers, nonetheless. But… If we pay, they will keep increasing the prices.
Edit: just paid for the preorder. I'm bonkers too…
TheGrimReaper
Yeah usually whenever I've seen a final price on my pre-order page, that means they have the price updated on the figure's page. Strange that they didn't do that this time around. No problem tho!
lilcarus
i guess they need to update the site with the new prices.
because it still says unknown for price. i didnt know their preorder deposits allow you to see the final price. i learned something new today…thanks
LeoJ
That is a lot better lol

Checked my ShowZ pre-orders for Optimus and UM and they're not as wild of prices. $79 for Optimus and $87 for UM. Thank God.

The price for Megatron (2021 Reissue) is 79.99 over at TCP. And he doesn't come with a trailer.
Edit: Not trying to justify the price. I think New Age prices went bonkers a long time ago.
LoserBroadside
Yeah this is about what I was expecting it to cost. Maybe as high as $90. It's even harder for me to justify because I just spent $90 on Masterpiece Crosscut. A Legends figure shouldn't cost more than a Masterpiece figure unless it comes with something like Magic Square Motor Master's Masterpiece-sized trailer.

Hopefully the TCP price is wrong, because that price seems outlandish for a legends figure. $75 (from a US retailer) MAX.
divinecomedy
Waiting for Delta Magnus.
lilcarus
these prices are just getting fucking insane. you cant even layout all the extra armor pieces to form a battle station or giant shoulder pads…
but seriously this is definitely not a 100 plus bot. i dont even feel it should be over 80 max.
motormaster was one of the few bots of late that definitely justified a hefty price tag.
LoserBroadside
Well..fart. Way way WAY too rich for my blood. I was ready to pay a lot, but not THAT much. That's more than some MPs. for a Legends. Yikes, New Age.
Poo
Oof. I’d prepared myself and budgeted for something like this. Prices have been creeping up. Not a deal breaker for me but still, oof.
TheGrimReaper
TCP has the price listed as $125. Yikes.

Well, usually once they show full pics, it's pretty close to release. Like a matter of weeks.
