Third party company Newage Toys have shared images of the color prototype 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.

Nemesis and SG can mount the magnus armor except the thighs.

Yea, it's something they should definitely consider if/when they reissue those characters and it would help them stand apart from the 1st releases. They could even give the Magnus armor a new head.

Yeah, they're neat little guys, in addition to nemesis, they have a purple version for their SGOP:

Its too bad NA's Nemesis and SG Primes don't have the slots to mount Magnus armor, because it would be nice to get them in NA size:

Glad to see at least 1 3p company using the idea, might have to track one down

He has a full on Armor up gimmick and everything.
It’s a really amazing little piece, and while not the size of a New Age Figure, for between 30-35? It’s worth it at least imo.

I didn't know Dr Wu had done one, but I've been wanting one for awhile now, ever since the Netflix Leader Nemesis Prime. I thought it would have been more fitting if it had been the Magnus mold and was a reanimated Magnus turned evil. Plus it makes Nemesis Prime more than just a Prime redeco.
BethCyra
Honestly before Dr Wu did it I may have been a bit wtf…but now I’m so with you.
I adore my little Nemesis Magnus so much.
Also if they could find it in their hearts to release Hate Plague Magnus at a larger scale that would be amazing as well.
Also a Pink/Red/Magenta style Elita Magnus would be not looked on negatively New Age

Just saw today that Delta Magnus is getting reissued and I would still totally love if Newage rereleased Nemesis Prime with a black version of the Magnus armor. It already used the Magnus legs if I'm not mistaken.

Bring Back the “SOLD OUTs”
Though, I also recommend joining the ShowZ Store Discord Server for the occasional server exclusive sales.

Went ahead and got the Delta PreOrder.
After SG2 it’s interesting thinking of not only Armored Magnus having a SG Self but the Blue/Magna Convoy also now being SG Version of White Convoy Magnus? Still kinda blown away that I now have entire new line of Optimi that are actually Magni?
Shelf was all white and now going to get a ton of blue and black lol.
Mechman42
Nah, they don’t. Primes reissue promos still had the old elbows but the toy had the new ones.
Hell, they’re still using old static hand photos for new toys that have hinged hands.

Estimated Releasing Date: Late December, 2023
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year zfarsh, you deserve it!!!

Do they ever update their stock photos for reissues? The only one I can think of is EX Megs, at least on the box, but they never did that to EX Prime when he was reissued. Who knows, maybe when he ships out he will have the toy molding.
LoserBroadside
A bit of a bummer. I was hoping if they did delta Magnus again, it would be using the toy version mold.

JFC Finally the reissue I've been waiting for! Related news, if anybody needs the standard, regular ol' Ultra Magnus version of this guy, I now have one that I will be parting with.
WhiteMocha
Hmmmm, tempted to get a second Lucullu to use the SG head, but that seems irresponsible. It was always a pretty half-hearted attempt at SG Magnus…

No need to vote
NA NewAge H13C H-13C Lucifer (Starscream) V1.5 Cartoon Limited Version New Age 9cm / 3.5"
zfarsh
Ok thanks. Where can i go and vote? I want a re-issue for NA Starscream 1.5
RameezTheElite
Not sure, The event is going on till December 31st so it's a pretty long time till we find out I believe.
I don't see Delta Magnus up for preorder on any of the other sites I typically use, so this reissue may be a ShowZ exclusive? Too early to tell
Jazzymouse
I voted for delta magnus in that so I did my part. What were the other winners?
