Newage H27W Conquest & H28 Octavian (Legends Scale G1 Ultra Magnus) Color Prototype

Posted on September 6, 2021 at 9:05 am by Black Convoy under 3rd Party Unlicensed

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.

I don't understand why NA don't do this diaclone version…

Its funny you bring that up because they did talk about doing that one. Spesifaclly using TFA Elite Guard Optimus' color scheme as the core but with that as the outer armor. That and they've talked about a straight toy deco.

Never owned this mold before. Figured it out without the instructions too. I had magic square’s V1 legend prime and this is leagues better. Wonderful tolerances all across the board. No QC issues either. View attachment 29558951

If someone is able to get ahold of one of these, let me know. I have been waiting for an officially release Hate Plague related figure for a while. The last one that comes to mind is the old Alloy Coated PVC Prime:

They haven't, but we can't rule it out yet. I think Newage need time to see if there's still enough demand for this mold or that specific deco. That deco is not popular so it won't sell as well as toon or Delta version. While this Magnus mold is pretty expensive, every wrong move can cost them a lot.

Actually at the beginning I had talked to them on FB and they had said that they thought of doing it, perhaps with the tractor with the colors of OP instead of Magnus, but then it seems that the project has run aground (if you look back in this thread you should also find the link to discussion on FB…)

I'm surprised Rhodes hasn't sold out yet.

I cant understand why anyone on earth would want it, people are different it seems, go figure

Guess not everyone's capable of handling the glory of Piss Magnus. Just too much for some.

Breathe, snaku, breathe. In with anger, out with love. Say it with me

I just try to tell myself it's cool that they get region specific bonuses. They have to live in China, so let's just be happy they get something nice once in a while.

Deep down, I'm still a little salty about not being able to get that transparent purple megs. But hey, I don't live in China. I'm ok with it.

Heh. I suppose that's a good way to look at it. I also considered it and I wonder if it costs more to produce and the profit margin just isn't worth mass producing it so they just make a small number. Sorry, I just really hate the whole exclusive thing so I get worked up whenever it comes up.

Oh cool, a hate plague Magnus. Not really my thing but that's pretty damn cool. Oh it's transparent so I could rig it with lights and have him glow? Well yes please, I'll take it! *sees the bit about it being a limited exclusive* Ah, fuck you, Newage! There shouldn't be any such thing as limited exclusives. If there's demand, then you should make enough to meet that demand (within reason, of course, and acknowledging that not every idea sells well and that risk needs to be managed). This thing where only the lucky few get to have something is bullshit.

I already hinted twice that there would be a Hate Plague version, and here he is.

What would be cool is if they did an Alloy Metal Optimus Prime.
