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!

If only my hands weren't shaky, those white spots that need the aluminum paint ups would make this mold even more awesome!

I’d preorder that as soon as it went up if it were real. Hasbro make this a reality and put it in Gen Selects, please.

I’m not that great at Photoshop, but I do know how to search this thread

To those who are gifted with photoshopped skills, can you recolor this to the Diaclone colors. Pretty please… with a cherry on top. Lol

feels right to me. Standing side by side, they look awesome!

Still interested in buying a Shining Magnus redeco. Just saying. (My Delta Magnus fix has been satiated by SGC Ultra Magnus, so if he got a redeco from this mold, I’d skip him like I did with SS86 Ultra Magnus.)

Wow, you know what?
In this pic he's about the right size… but it feels wrong.

So, I rebought MP Ultra Magnus (THF KO), and after tinkering with it I fully appreciate the SS86 even more. Not to say that MP Magnus is bad, he isn't, and I still fully understand why he doesn't have an articulated waist but it is to his detriment. SS86 is what MP Magnus should've been. I think the addition of die-cast wasn't necessary. SS86 excels because he's not weighed down by it and still feels like a right chonker.
I'm really impressed with how SS86 turned out when I compare him to MP. Wow. Congrats, Has/Tak. I knew it was a good figure when I got it a few months back, but I fully appreciate it even more now. *golf clap*

Heads up, this is an Amazon rant about Magnus, so if you aren't interested, read no further! I had to vent some nerd rage.
Not very happy with Amazon Canada. I had pre-ordered Magnus back when it first went up. Then it went on sale for $10 off and Amazon wasn't fixing the price on mine, so I cancelled it and re-pre-ordered it at the lower price in October. They finally shipped it last week and almost immediately the tracking changed to "undeliverable" and I was informed that I would be getting a refund by the system. What is also strange is that I have two Amazon warehouses here in Ottawa so I normally get my stuff from here, Toronto or Montreal. Magnus shipped from B.C. on the west coast which is not normal at all. Amazon still has stock of this figure and I could order another one, but it will take a while to get my refund on the first one and I had over $80 in gift card money in it which I would like to use on the next one. So I'm now stuck in a holding pattern waiting for the refund and hoping the figure doesn't sell out. I spoke to their customer service and they told me things are messed up right now because they just switched to a new tracking system for the customer service reps and they aren't seeing the correct information right now. So apparently there's a slim chance my Magnus may still show up. The original delivery date was Dec. 9th so they told me I may have to wait until then to see if I'm actually getting the figure or a refund. WTF???
So if that is true, why would Amazon switch their customer service rep software right before the Black Friday and Christmas delivery madness season??? That was a bad call. ^End rant

I’m glad they worked for you, but I could not decipher what it was asking me to do with the backpack/chest plate/head. I had to go check Emgo’s video to get a better look. After that yeah you don’t need instructions for anything but the knee shift.

I didn't think the instructions were terrible. Still better than 95% of the 3P instructions, if they even bother to include them anymore instead of giving a QR code that links to a video.
The only part that wasn't clear with Magnus was getting the knees bent in for the trailer, the rest was easy enough.

This is the first set of instructions I’ve actually looked at and good lord they are useless.

Thank you! I was just considering buying the Wreckers one but now not so sure if I shouldn't just wait.

Yes it's a new mold. The siege one is a Voyager and the new one is a leader.
Sunbow Prime
Pulse is sold out. Big Bad Toy Store is sold out. Amazon is sold out (sold and shipped by Amazon).
Choostopher
I just heard about this today and am left scratching my head, are they planning a new mould for him already? The Siege one looks spectacular to me.

What I like about this specific figure is that I feel like it could easily be a 3P company made piece. One of the better 3P companies

Geezus he's good. Perfect balance between toy and collectors MP. He is bulky but in hand it doesn't detract from the overall proportions. Love it to pieces. View attachment 30175576
