:wave :wave I'm being optimistic and realistic regarding the revisible gun.

 

Optimistic in the sense that I am hoping Takara or someone would make his battled armor/ trailer one day. So in that sense, it is wise to have that reversible white gun where it could either be used by the Magnus or the Ultra mode for MP Magnus.

 

Realistic in the sense that Ultra Magnus gun had always been a dual gun which be reverse to use either mode. So with that I think MP Magnus gun should be dual if they create a new mode gun.

I've changed my mind and will end up buying this for a few reasons...

 

1.)If sales are good, they might continue the line and we might get masterpiece Starscream

2.)I've been fooling around witht he armor from the G1 version, and with a little work, it's going to be easy to convert it to armor for this guy. i'll post pics of the WIP when I get around to it.

----->All in all, now that the initial shock/outrage is over, I think this is not THAT bad of a figure.

If Ultra Magnus looked like this on the show, would we be complaining?

It wouldn't have happened anyway. It's pretty stupid to try to market a white Optimus Prime and try to pass him off as a different character. Or did you forget that the show was also about selling toys?

Yeah, that's as impossible as marketing a balck Optimus as a whole different character.

in Mike Prime's defense, though, Laser OP and Scourge were in different lines, 8 years apart. still - awesome point. :thumb

found this pic of MAgnus on the Robot Japan message boards.

Looks like this is what its gonna be.

a little late on the draw Fortress, this pic was posted in another thread last month, at which point is was proven to be a photoshop of the original MP Prime product photos

photoshopped huh?

i thought there was something fishy about it.

 

oh well. better luck next time I guess

Why not? They marketed Starscream, Thundercracker & Skywarp as different characters. Same with Rumble and Frenzy.
