Once again, Ben. You have given us an excellent video. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video to help educate us on our TF purchases. Well done.
@@LS-jk3fk Nope. Convoy Super Black from Japan-only toyline Transformers Alternity. Here, have a peek. It's the LAST thing in the section about toys. tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(Universe)
Just got mine from a seller who shipped quite fast for being in China (miffy21584). Very happy. The gun tabs were a bit loose, so tightened those up with a layer of clear nails just on the tab surfaces. Also, the tabs for squeezing together the trailer halves, both bottom and top, were a bit difficult. The bottom ones can be loose and move apart, so I clear nails to fix those. The tabs on the top (used to be the arms) are VERY hard to force together, but once you do they ease up a bit the next time. Overall, this is a REALLY good toy and great for the price. Light years better than my original G1. Several faces, everything is very sturdy once it's all tabbed together, and nothing feels like it's about to break. I found a way to store the second gun by shoving it into the space between the bottom / legs in trailer mode. Thanks for the review!
I bought this about 3-4 years ago, for about $120 on Ebay. This is one of the best KO figures ever. I keep him in vehicle mode on display and put a bunch of G1 Autobots on him...excellent display piece. I recently saw Ben's KO video on the Weijiang MPP10 Optimus Prime and decided to buy that, too. I like how it looked, paired with the KO Ultras Magnus. So I went ahead and bought another one of these KP Ultra Magnus'. I've been buying tons of KO MP figures from AliExpress where they sell them dirt cheap. I will keep MPP10 Optimus and Ultras Magnus in robot mode when they arrive. Great review!
Dangit! No waist swivle again! I can deal w/ the arms,shoulders...but damn no waist swivle 4 posing. Love the few fixes THF did make, why couldnt Takara do it from the beginning, a freakin buttflap on a Commander? Still think i might upgrade from my official 2 this, or maybe another co. Will do him real justice finally...
I wanted to say thank you for sharing this review. I recently purchased and received it today. As I closely looked through it and all attachments. Any suggestions on getting the autobot emblem for the right arm.
Is there any company that makes some sort of 3d printed "rail" cover to make the top of him be more like a car trailer with like actual grooves for car wheels to go in? Instead of just sort of sitting on his arm extension things hoping not to slide off?
Ben, have you installed the XT007 shoulder upgrade? And does it solve any shoulder issues? Mine has issues like yours with the shoulder staying pegged in. And it cannot support the weight to hold up the large gun. It still looks bad ass though. :-)
You might want to give your KO Magnus the shoulder and hand upgrades and your official Magnus's shoulder plate with the Autobot insignia to complete the effect. Also someone PLEASE make a set of spring loaded missile launchers for him!
They are called the MSG Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Base. There are also cheaper KO's out there of this piece. Furthermore, there are similar sets being sold by DX9, and others, that are Autobot orange, Decepticon Purple or just plain gray.
ugh... love the robot mode but my alt mode just won't tab in, making the trailer useless; especially at the top on the end (hands end). Thanks for the vid tho!
A prime-mask face would've been awesome. Shoulder upgrades for the old figure should've carried over to the new one. Desperately needs a transforming cab upgrade to store Minimus Ambus and the Marix.
Pulled the trigger on this. Looks good. Buuuut. Missiles were not painted at all and missing the passenger side front tire. Robot mode looks good and all joints are tight. Slightly disappointing about that tire. Must be zero qc there.
I'm just going to comment right off in the beginning I'm between buying this or an actual masterpiece... I can get a knock off for like 30 bucks but I can get the real thing for $130 and lately I've been much more interested in the real thing.
They dropped the ball on this one. No extra diecast, no light up eyes, no articulated fingers, no thigh flaps to hide them in trailer mode, no chrome bumper option, all we get is the butt flap fix? They should just sell that. Not a good enough reason to get a second figure of him.
@@_V.Va_ thats debatable. why opt for the easy way on this guy when in his case atleast its mentioned, talked about that the trailer is just extra armor when taking creative freedoms with other toys is ok?
@@Mornomgir It just simply boils down to "Takara just felt like it." I too would have just preferred an Albino Prime within the armor, but it's just the way this figure was engineered.
Bought this magnus a while ago. Complete and total garbage for what you pay, not worth more than 50 bucks total high end Knock off rather than 3rd party, save your money and buy the real thing or a real 3rs party company brand , you will thnk me for it. Toy House sucks!
And you can buy TWO of these, which is IMPROVED over the MP, and still have money left over. With all the upgrades, and cheaper price, this is a far better deal.
No. Watch the video. They fixed the butt flap. They upgraded the joints in the shoulder area. They added an extra figure. They added extra face plates. They added an extension to the original gun, they added the extra larger gun, they upgraded the hip joints. So no, not exactly the same.
I do t thi k you can really refer to this as "their take" on the original. A third party original piece is someone's take on a character. This is a knock-off. It's their copy of a product
Sure he can. Its his channel, he can do and say what he likes. And Ben is right, it is their take on this character. They did more than KO this toy. But. If you disagree, you can start your own channel and tell your fan all about it.
@@parcelohssa2243 grow up mate. If comments hurt your feelings you shouldn't read them. Iade a comment on a video expressing my opinion on something said in this video. That is the whole purpose of the comment section. It is easy to take a product that has already been engineered and fix the small issues with it. I like the ko figures personally, but the fact is, Takara does the hard work on these, and ko companies just sugar coat them. Deal with it
MoarPower Yet you're the one crying. Get some tissues and start your own channel. Tell us all about how KO's hurt your feelings on this KO channel. I am sure someone cares. Your mom maybe?
@@parcelohssa2243 I love KOs. I think they are bloody awesome. Especially when they improve on the original. You are clearly dumber than you know. And no, my mum doesn't care about transformers.
I must say the removal of the butt flap, and better Ratchets on the legs and the cheaper price definitely makes this worth the pick up. Great review
Once again, Ben. You have given us an excellent video. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video to help educate us on our TF purchases. Well done.
It's out already!? TF-Direct *just* had it for pre-order the other day!! This is very tempting...yesss!!

I had been considering this figure for a few weeks but the Video sealed it for me, just placed my order with TF-Direct!
Thanks for the review Ben!
having just received him, I can say that's a lot of plastic for the money!
I got one and his truck mode holds together quite well. Awesome figure
thank u for the review i just ordered this figure. i was on the fence but its 100 bucks cheaper and its basically the same! u helped me alot ty again

They couldn't deal with that butt flap right now.
I guess that's why they added a few transformation steps to this KO!
Awesome comment--saw what you did there, clhound...LOL! 😆
"Dude, where's my buttflap?"
"Its gone. And with it, all hope." - Kup
That quote didn't really fit here. LOL. I tried.
Awesome figure! Can't wait to get him. Thanks for the review Ben, Shame about those loose balls tho :D
Alex B loose balls 😈
When did spike and Daniel turn Farengi?
LOL!
When they saw Takara's modern MP prices and it made their brains swell!
Maybe THF can help them out a little with that...
Ben: Sorry my turntable is small.
Magnus: Maaan...do you *not* see me holding this ballerina pose with my buff ass joints while you jibber jabber?
Dangit! No waist swivle again! I can deal w/ the arms,shoulders...but damn no waist swivle 4 posing.

Next to impossible with this transformation. They would have to redesign the entire toy to put in a waist swivel.
I hope THF do Sunstreaker as they like getting rid of butt flaps haha
There is a KO of Sunstreaker coming out, but I don't think it has any improvements over the original mold.
The improvement is that it is half the price!!! :-)
Jay Vierra Jr it’s not half the price though. At least not from what I can see.
I wanted to say thank you for sharing this review. I recently purchased and received it today. As I closely looked through it and all attachments. Any suggestions on getting the autobot emblem for the right arm.

This next to the Ultra Magnus, is it the Optimus MPP10 32cm?
His second gun is from the IDW comic.
i would like to see what THF does in the future :D
I just got both this and the MP-22 just so that I can swap parts and get rid of MP-22's butt flap. Now I have an almost perfect MP-22.
somarriba333 I’d like to see a video of your swap.
I posted it April 24th.
"Contain some" I love that xD
So does this already have the upgraded shoulders like the X2 kit?
Hello ,I remember got this version for just $69.00 after i see this video thanks as always good videos and informations
Will the perfect effect upgrade work with this?
Is there any company that makes some sort of 3d printed "rail" cover to make the top of him be more like a car trailer with like actual grooves for car wheels to go in? Instead of just sort of sitting on his arm extension things hoping not to slide off?
Great video, I'm getting one.
I THINK the larger gun is from the G1 movie of 1986
It is. And they made the gun better with their version. The Takara you have to buy the upgrade kit.
You got the cab top to lock in place much better than mine. I'm afraid to break something by forcing it too much.
I wonder if the upgrade kit will work on the KO.
A question. This version is better than takara version ?
Maybe watch the video?
that big gun looks like a smaller version of the one that comes with ultimetal magus
I didn't notice that before, but yeah. I think you are right. I bet that is where they got the inspiration for this!
Nice review sir ben.👍
Ben, have you installed the XT007 shoulder upgrade? And does it solve any shoulder issues? Mine has issues like yours with the shoulder staying pegged in. And it cannot support the weight to hold up the large gun. It still looks bad ass though. :-)
How would this magnus look next to voyager class figures? And deluxe? Is he bigger than haslab victory saber?
he'd absolutely dwarf a voyager, as he's masterpiece scale (which is way bigger), and one of the biggest single masterpiece figures
I would love to see a new review with the thf vs xtransbots
I wonder if they will do a yellow version :)
I thought I read they made changes to the chest and matrix chamber. Is there any difference? I did seem to catch any comparisons of that in the video.
I want an Ultra Magnus by Lewin Resources.
Silly question Ben but being in the UK, if I order this will I have to pay customs or any additional charges?
I wonder if it's possible to swap the best parts of this figure with the official.
Does the X2 shoulder upgrade fit Hyper Magnum?
Yep,plus the KFC hands.
David Hovik
Cool!!! I’m getting the hands n gonna try to find the shoulder kit. Merry Christmas!!
@@rickrod4701 ebay 24.99 and TFSource 19.99 plus tax and you're welcome. Merry Christmas.

NO KO OK xd
I love Bobby and no he didn't lol
😮😯😲
bobby skull face allergic to ko 😂
Isn't a "skullface" a KO of a Pirate? Ironic.
Beautiful toy
Does the head slide back on the official? I don't recall that.
It would be nice is Lewen Resources Oversized this to the same size as their MP10 OS.
You might want to give your KO Magnus the shoulder and hand upgrades and your official Magnus's shoulder plate with the Autobot insignia to complete the effect. Also someone PLEASE make a set of spring loaded missile launchers for him!
Also I've been wandering, what is that background you always use and where can I find one?

Is he worth the money? Found one for £65 is he worth it ? Looks good
Nice! Does yours have oil/grease on the ratchet where the thigh meets the crotch area?
I want Hasbro version but I feel like a re release is right around the corner
Would be sweet if they did a Delta Magnus version of this mold.
Yes!
Can't wait for mine to arrive. Where can I grab some decals for him?

Cheers guys
I wish there's an actual comparison with Wei Jiang's MPP10. Either they are of the same size or a Magnum's a lil short.
Mpp 10 is a noticeable amount larger.
MPP10 is 33cm while TFH Magnus is 28cm.
Where did you get the turntable from?
한국인이예요,잘 보고 있어요 이 제품 리뷰 기대하고 있었다
ugh... love the robot mode but my alt mode just won't tab in, making the trailer useless; especially at the top on the end (hands end). Thanks for the vid tho!
Nice figure! I was hoping the would have removed the smoke stacks because car carriers have downward running exhaust.
G1 toy accuracy. Or in this case, real world inaccuracy. It's the whole Grimlock dragging or not dragging his tail debate. :-)
I hope Toy House make Delta Magnus. I LOVE those colours
That would be awesome!
A prime-mask face would've been awesome.
Shoulder upgrades for the old figure should've carried over to the new one.
Desperately needs a transforming cab upgrade to store Minimus Ambus and the Marix.
What upgrade kit is it
It’s not an upgrade it’s a KO of the official masterpiece
Which site did u find him on? Definitely going to be my next purchase
Ohmyprimus has it.
The fact that he's cheaper to get than the actual retail ss86 says alot
Although it may transform the same way as the original, am seeing some settle differences here & there. 🤔
Dandy doll FTMFW!
LOL!
seems the perfect version compares to Takara’s
I wish it had a mini magnum
If only the trailer had skids and launching missiles. Oh well.
Pulled the trigger on this. Looks good. Buuuut. Missiles were not painted at all and missing the passenger side front tire. Robot mode looks good and all joints are tight. Slightly disappointing about that tire. Must be zero qc there.
Comes with two Farengi.

I doubt they are selling him to get people to buy a second. They are targeting people who didn't get get the original
I have that toy
Yay imnearly
you're nearly what? lol
Just a couple more seconds..!
buggs me like crazy that the cab isnt a single white prime figure that combines with the trailer.
It's supposed to be cartoon accurate. Magnus didn't do that in the G1 Show.

No. See reply below.
and the faces
Incorrect. Watch the video. There are other upgrades.
Why would you even buy that when you can just get the masterpiece?

I see
