We have a new Weibo update from third party company Dr. Wu. They have revealed color renders of their Extreme Warfare Ultra Magnus Armor.
This is a new extra “Ultra Magnus” armor planned to go with DW-E04W Prime Commander (white Optimus Prime/G1 toy Ultra Magnus) for Dr Wu’s Extreme Warfare Micromaster scale line. The renders show the small white Prime Commander combined with the armor in alt mode. A very promising project for such a small scale. According to the information shared this armor will be available with or without DW-E04W Prime Commander. We still have no additional details, so stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates!
See all the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Board!

I’m loving these swords that @TIKnTIN designed and printed! I think they are a great alternative weapon for the “evil” repaints.

The simplest fix to that problem is to buy another copy and make the first copy his "forever legs" lol. Don't have to ever worry about 'em breaking off if you never take 'em off…

I simply do a bit of a rotation as I pull the parts off.. not much but enough to pop the tab that's holding them in place. Once you sort out where that tab is, it's easier to plan on how to approach it.

EDIT
I just found the post about pushing on the side plate. I have tried that method and it never really worked for me. If there isn’t another solution, I guess it’s just a combination of wiggling, pushing on that plate, and excessive force. I think a better solution would’ve been to have the ramps fold down on the front of the legs, so you can get a grip on the interior legs with your fingers. oh well. Otherwise an excellent figure.
EDIT
is there a trick to removing the Ultra Magnus boots from the Optimus Prime legs? It’s the one aspect of the transformation I don’t enjoy. I always feel like I have to use too much force to pull them off.

I wonder if Dr Wu will ever make this armor version of the Ultra Magnus armor, the OP to put in it already did it a while ago…

Following up on the post above ^
This was my request and I was thrilled with the changes @TIKnTIN made but I added a few of my own. I much prefer the black thighs and overall darker colors of the original SGUM design so I swapped my core bots thighs and added a red collar piece to complete the transformation.

Well the thrill is gone… It seems that the excitement has died down and now I need a new fix. Man these things are like drugs lol… C'mon Dr. Wu where is Megs at???

As promised. Better light picture. The grey of the weapon is close to the trailer but not a match. Also not a match for the joints of the sleep mode. View attachment 30080137

The sleep mode trailer is close to the grey of the axe but the bot is way different. It’s more like a dark bronze with some metallic. I’ll try to get better pictures this weekend with natural light and a better background.

The "sleep mode" Optimus looks like a warmer, darker shade of gray while the "test version" Ultra Magnus looks like a more neutral gray.
Seeing them side by side it's obvious the "sleep mode" Optimus is a more finished deco while the "test version" Ultra Magnus captures the look of a resin test shot sprayed with gray primer.
Looking at my "test version" Magnus I notice the axe is a very different kind of plastic from the rest of the toy.
Is the gray axe a close match to "sleep mode" Optimus?

Some comparison pics. Lighting isn’t the best. The prototype feels like a different plastic. Lots of spru marks, easy clean up. Looks great overall. View attachment 30078310View attachment 30078311View attachment 30078312View attachment 30078313

Received my grey "prototype" in. Looks awesome. A much lighter shade of grey compared to the "sleep mode" version. I'll throw up pics later comparing the two.

I love how the detail is so good, with no other point of reference, you'd think this was the full size G1 toy and another large mold.
