You may wanna add some leg armor, to balance the design out, and since you are gonna stash the armor in the trailor, you got space

won't you need an actual transformerable trailer to get the REAL G1 Magnus look

 

well then again that's almost next to impossible... since the scaling isn't exactly 1:24... even if a trailer is made it woudln't fit the BT/ALT's properly.... that kinda sux

actually prime is scaled at 1:24 and an eight off- I am not sure if it is stated on the box because I have the takara version and cant read japanese, and I have never seen the hasbro version, but I have measured mine and done the math.

 

(probably why its so hard to find a trailer the right size.)

TRU sells a semi that has a trailer that is the right size, it should work out nicely

I'll make sure to check for it next time I'm there, thanks S^2

I'm aware of how HORRIBLE my photoshop skills are on this, but here goes anyways. This is just so everybody has an idea where I'm coming from:

 

Alt Mode:

And an even more humorous bot mode. I'm VERY tempted to try and avoid the armor completely....but that would mean no cool shoulder missles. :tfsad

 

Anyways, does everybody think that it just isn't UM w/o Armor additions?

it could work, but the whole idea of magnus is that he is prime's twin (sorta) the armor makes him ultra

HAHAHa, I guess I never thought of it that way.

I would like a all white version of Prime but for a MP Version of Armor Magnus would be the most awesome thing ever

I have a design for a trailer that becomes armor in my head. I know how everything would work to fit in both modes. Problem is, my art and scrath build capabilities are non existant...

I COULD create an all white alt mode and have a chest piece, shoulder and arm pieces be added after transformation.

 

That would be the most HOMAGE I could do.
