Coming to us via Reddit user u/Ronerus79 we can share for you our first in-hand images of the highly anticipated Transformers Studio Series Commander Class Ultra Magnus.
We have images of the packaging, robot mode, blast effects, poseability and comparison size images with other toys.
Not much left to say, so see the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Does anyone else have slightly smudged guns from being stored in contact with the fireblast effects? I notice a tiny amount of paint stripping caused by that with mine.
Also, does anyone have any issues with paint flaking? I tried transforming my Magnus and paint chipped off one of the shoulder joints when swiveling the panel (that holds the shoulder missile) around.

I was thinking the same thing about the springs. I'm going to see if I can remove them or not when I get my copy.

Great shots. Posed in the group shot his scale seems plenty reasonable. Roughly a head height taller than he should be is a pretty small price to pay for a correctly scaled alt that can haul cars, and transforms properly.

That is simultaneously fascinating, reassuring and mental.

That's because what precise shade the plastic is depends on what kind of light is hitting the surface. Nylon absorbs light weird!

And, so, yeah, there may be some variance in how the plastic absorbs/reflects light as it curves towards and aways from you, sure.

Mine finally arrived yesterday! After getting shipped to two more states!
Overall it's nice. Kinda wish the doors for the matrix chamber didn't have springs, but it is what it is.

Calm down. It will be ok. He was blown apart so stuff happens.

It is a separate piece. It's also a separate piece that is two different shades of white. That's why I circled it.

Just opened my Magnus. He's amazing. Probably my favorite Transformer since Star Saber, and could even beat Deathsaurus in the end…

That actually looks to be a separate piece, secured between the screwed together halves of the lower piece.

Oh crap, when we start to talk about different kinds of white, wonder if a yellow shadow is going to appear…
Starting to have a bad feeling about Magnus.
Napalm
And here? Where the circled piece is two shades? Warm on top and cool beneath.

That's nylon. It's gonna look like that because of how it absorbs light

I like it!

Oh no

That's what I'm hoping. It's really very noticeable though. A much warmer white.

Same old same old bud! Some are the glossy type some are the dull matte nylon type.

Magnus is sold out on BBTS but still available on other stores like Amazon and EE.
It’s a great idea to save a preorder, Amazon has sold 4k+ units!

I'm not overly arsed yet as video reviews and photos with a decent white balance show a disparity. But there is a distinct difference in the whites the different plastics use on my copy..
