Ugh. I like Magnus as much as the next person, but this is just degrading IMO. I mean, if they're going for GF1 Redux, the least they could have done with this is give it some kind of super mode making him more "Ultra" than being just a crappy repaint. I'm all for the fact that he and Prime are bros and stuff, but come on. He's "ULTRA" Magnus.

It's a pity it's a repaint so soon, it would have been nice to see a truly new Ultra Magus, it's been a little over 6 years since there was a new Magus that wasn't a repaint of a Prime mould. Maybe another time a new Magus might appear, maybe.

Shame it's only a repaint....but it's real nice :D

well, in everyline now, we have megatron repainted as galvatron, and i don't hear that much complaints, even though originally, galvatron and megatron were different molds. You have to give Hasbro a break, repaints are like like bread and butter to them. You have two evil leader in each line, so you have to have two good leader too. I'm ok if that, it gives me options, i'm not into collecting a complete set, so this lets me choose which colour works better for which mold. i prefer relatively cheap repaints over expensive one-of toys

1: 100 posts. How can you know how much whining there has been about Megatron being repainted as Galvatron? Ever since the repainted Galvatron trend started, there has been complaining about that.

2: Megatron and Galvatron are the same person. Galvatron is an update of Megatron. Ultra Magnus isn't an update of Optimus Prime. Therefor, your logic does not apply here.

I imagine Ramjet will be repaint with new wings Pete.

 

 

 

 

Well, Okay, I admit it. That's what I'm hoping for:

Ramjet - Starscream Repaint with New Wings and Arm-Guns.

basically what the original was :tflaugh

 

actually what I'd like to see is a second mold for the coneheads, like a different jet altogether. Why not, they weren't really F-15s anyway. Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet as repaints of each other is something I could live with.

But... isn't this thread about bitching because figures that weren't originally straight repaints becoming just that in the Classics line?!?!?

 

By all virtue of INTERNET fairness, if you do not like a straight Prime repiant as Magnus, you are not ALLOWED to like a strait Dirge repaint as either Ramjet or Thrust, let alone both.

 

 

I'm just saying.

No, this thread is not about straight repaint bitching.

 

G1 Ultra Magnus came with a white Prime cab. We see here a white Prime cab. So far, so good.

 

But as I've already said, that white cab formed a part of Ultra Magnus which was barely even visible in his robot mode. And just to be clear, Ultra Magnus' "robot mode" is not the cab by itself. It's the cab plus trailer, as it was intended by Hasbro, and as was depicted in every TF medium.

 

The issue here is incompleteness, not straight repaints. As I mentioned earlier, this is like selling Zarak and calling it "Scorponok".

I imagine Ramjet will be repaint with new wings Pete.

Until Dreamwave came along a f*cked it all up. Another reason to hate them aside from all of the Pat Lee bullBlot.

I'm sure I will buy it just like I will buy everything else that has the TFs name on it for the next yr.

i like it

maybe we should make Classics Prime yellow and green and tell the fans to use their imaginations

 

What the f*ck is that? the whole point of the line is to evoke G1, to update G1 characters
