his design is based off the IDW design, and in the comics, Minimus actually was piloting him the entire time
Expect that time he didn’t
When I first saw the panel with minimus coming out of ultra Magnus I was just…. My brain just died. I mean ye I like how he’s not just a prime repaint but my brain just feels he should look like prime. Also he’s tiny.
IDW Mininus still had no reason to exist.
One of the stupidest ideas IDW ever gave us.
Fun fact the cabs of both E.R optimus and C.W magnus are pretty much the same size
Have you noticed the door on the side of the cab?
If it's anything to go by this take on Magnus would strike fear into any Decepticons in his path.
How come you didn’t have the trailer for G1 ultra magnus?
And I will chef in a
As an IDW fan, I gotta say Minimus Ambus was the main reason why I tracked down this beauty rather than get the Siege version. I'd have preferred to see the white prime body as well, for that neat nesting-doll effect, but the idea that huge enforcer Ultra Magnus is actually just a small dude with wicked moustache game piloting a huge robot… It just really does it for me. And I love that this idea is represented in toy form.
That's what IDW magus is, a suit of armor worn by different Cybertrionians since the real Ultra Magnus died ages ago.
metropod yep its true
huh. i did not know that. that's pretty cool
The first time I heard this I was amazed. I kinda forgot, and I am glad i scrolled through the comments
metropod yes then the mp transfomers line is g1 and g2 based peaces, were all combiner wars, and titans are part of the generations line witch is base off the idw comics
Killiancraft as
I know this is an older review, but since HG revive was out during 2014, and RG's before then... And MG's have had this feature before...
"articulated shoulder armor flaps are genius"
\*laughs in Gunpla*
Combiner wars is idw inspired
in the vehicle mode it is apparently f ing giant. there is tiny ladders and a small door or two on the truck. also little walkways on the trailer. and Lol worlds of Nintendo waluigi.
This is the one figure I splurged for the Takara version. It takes all the great molding and paint apps of the Hasbro version, and ups the anti with a deeper blue, brighter white, and adds a fair bit more paint(And Alpha Trion, for some reason). If you ever want to get another CW Magnus, get the Takara version.
Or you could get the RID2000 Magnus. That's a really underrated toy.
Japan doesn't get the IDW series. Hence why they changed Minimus into Alpha Trion.
John McHenry But the Takara Magnus seems more G1 toy accurate and IDW accurate compared to the Hasbro one.
Perci Constance I don't see it I compared my Legends Magnus to the comic and it was almost a carbon copy.
Perci Constance I both rrad the comics and own the toy.The paint aps are fine in terms if accuracy.Sure,the blue is not as accurate,but still.
"Because everything scales with Wa-Luigi!" ;)
MP-bee is watching you
I might get the Powermaster Prime, I mean I love magnus, but Ginrai is just so much better, to me at least
They're both great, why not get both?
Sarcasticron I only have enough cash for 1
That's unfortunate. I find if I wait, I can usually get my TFs on sale.
You'll hate me for this but nothing you have in your collection will scale with this Magnus besides Minimus Ambus. If you inspect the cab sides closely directly behind the wheels you can see a step ladder and door. These doors are TINY and can be found on the trailer too complete with walkways. I have no idea why but hasbro has made this vehicle the size of a god damn oil rig! In truth Minimus Ambus is a miniaturised delux figure, if he was in scale Ambus would be the same size as any other combiner wars car bot and magnus would tower over everyone like a new fortress maximus.
TheMakuta345 you make a valid point my friend
TheMakuta345 Nope, that's quite wrong,the comics prove my answer.
In the IDW comics, Minimus would be a cassette-bot size. He only came to Hot Rod's/Rodimus' waist and was the same size as Rewind and Swerve
@@FlamesofJagger This figure isn't IDW Magnus it's Combiner Wars Magnus, it takes a lot of inspiration from IDW but stands as it's own separate figure. So IDW scale doesn't apply and the figure clearly has tiny doors, stairs, and walkways molded into it which would set is as a baffling megazord size truck.
@@TheMakuta345 Combiner wars Magnus Is IDW Magnus. There wouldn't be a Minimus otherwise. tfwiki.net/wiki/Minimus_Ambus#Combiner_Wars
After watching this video, I decided I deserved to get myself a combined wars ultra Magnus, I had been burned by siege and thought I needed something good for the collection, and let me tell you I made the right fucking decision this guy is incredible, seriously your reviews the reason I even considered getting this figure and I am so thankful
Well now that you’ve seen this I want to say I was also the dude who had a two left hipped bluestreak
Im thinking about either getting this guy or Legacy Toxitron for my birthday sometime soon, but can't decide who. I already have Siege magnus, but he doesn't feel too much like what I want. Should I get this Ultra Magnus?
@@bumbleprime7713 hmmm. Tbh two years down the line I can still say, this figure rocks! However….. Hmmmm. Its not the same as a GOOD legacy figure. CW has genius engineering for the design, but it lacks polish and quality in many departments. I say go for toxitron, worst case you don’t like him and sell him for a bajillion dollars
@@jtek2259 alright, thanks for the help!
Minimus Ambus came from the IDW Comics. In the comics, he is the current bearer of the Magnus Armor which was created by Chief Justice Tyrest.
He didn’t create it. Chief Justice Tyrest did. Minimus is the latest in a line of bots who bear the Ultra Magnus armor.
@@cylasbreakdown6140 Ahhh. I see.
Great review. High value video. But Quality of the plastic is horrible. Look at how they scrimp on the plastics at the legs and arms. The design is really good but quality is no where near mp level as you say. Thats why its called hallow magnus
Question: in vehicle mode, can the cab turn?
Really loved this video, man. You sounded super excited throughout all of it. I kinda want to get the figure now. :P
KHAce I
I think CHUG (Classics Henkei Universe Generations) sounds better than uniclasserations mostly because that sounds like eunuch lacerations, you don't need to come up with your own words when the fandom already has them.
TheLazyEyebrow: Look at my Ultra Magnuses!
Me: haha my custom painted truck that looks like magnus go woosh
And then WFCT:S happened
Yeah and it was shit, I got siege first then combine wars and I got to say this one towers over it in quality and size
You mentioned Titanfall...I am so happy I used to play that game a lot
Minimus Ambus is meant to be a Minesweeper Vehicle.
The hammer is the Forge of Solus Prime from TF Prime, but with different colors
I have him, and DANG!!!! He's a good figure! Also, if you take off the cab, it works really good for a fan mode random bot wearing armor.
Back in the day I could not afford either Ultra Magnus due to school, I am so glad Siege came along and gave us perhaps the best Magnus yet. I appreciate the stylized approached to this Magnus in robot mode for sure.
I’m not as big a fan of siege ultra Magnus, he’s alt mode just isn’t as great and his possibility is severely limited. That’s not to mention the strange proportions
While I do own the MP Ultra Magnus, I also own the Combiner Wars Magnus too. However, it was a choice between either the Hasbro or Takara version as both differ in their colour. And favouring the colour look of the MP Magnus, I went with the Takara one.
Better than kingdom magnus
goddamn scalpers!
mantis999999999 ikr
3:33 my life is complete
I regret not getting this guy.
= (
oh yeah the power master prime!
PLEASES DO A BETATRON REVIEW WITH PC11 AND 12, PLEASE
same here. Though, he never showed up in my area. That's how slow it is for me.
I ONLY HAVE ONE THIRD OF YOUR REQUEST AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GETTING THE REST! SORRY TO DISSAPOINT BUT THEMS THE FACTS! I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE SHOUTING OR TALKING ABOUT COMPUTRON ON SOMEBODY'S COMMENT ABOUT NOT GETTING ULTRA MAGNUS!
actually that is a TRANSFORMERS FORGED TO FIGHT ULTRA MAGUNUS TOY
that game came out two years after this toy did
I do like this ultra magnus and I do believe the hammer was referred to as the magnus hammer?
I think that the best and definitive version of this Ultra Magnus mold has to be the Platinum Edition version (wich I own)
Colorwise, platinum Magnus has the MP color scheme, but keeping (and even adding more) of those silver details seen in the combiner Wars version, also including metalic blue pain in zones like the chest and arms that just look awesome to the whole look of the figure
A great and highly recomended mold, no matter wich version you get: Hasbro-takara-Platinum
Are you planning on getting either of the retools of this guy? The Ginrai Takara's making from this mold especially looks incredible.
thought about it. nah
Waweegee is back... WALAMEMEGI!
Minimis Ambus is an important part in the comics
Have you looked at the Siege Ultra Magnus? It's not as big as the CW one, but it's still an impressive sculpt. The only thing I feel it's missing is the ability to act as a car carrier.
I asked him about it in his Cyclonus vid after he mentioned it in his ER Optimus review that he still stuck with this, or rather, just got another one. He didn't like the Siege mold's transformation or inability to function as a car carrier or look accurate to the original.
Personally, it's fine, but this version already had the superior transformation. And the more I think of and look at it, the more I just get further and further convinced that they definitely could've and definitely should've downscaled this, added the missing joints, adapted the 3P Core Magnus mechanism to give us a truly accurate Ultra Magnus.
At least for Kingdom. If the "engineering" to accomplish that would've bumped it up to being Commander Class, Magnus would've been more worthy of the class than Rodimus.
I thought of some other masterpiece figures u need to review. MP10B, MP32, MP11NR, MP11NT, MP11ND, (all from Takara) and MP05 from hasbro.
Joseph Crickmore i wish, i missed out on that one = (
I wasn't a fan of beast wars tbh
if I had unlimited funds I would DEFINITELY have MP coneheads = P
aaaand sunstorm....meh
The combiner wars one looks like idw magnus very nice honestly looks like a good toy to pick up which is rare nowadays
The mecanism isn't springloaded, just well designed plastic.
You can actually remove the cap to make the cab removable and still perfectly functional.
Very IDW
The takara version has the better blue so you could have gotten that to get the best version it's expensive though
that is true. and that was another option I considered
Ye it also has red thighs and therefore it looks easier to the eye as it has quite good colour separation
What if minimus had a pilot?
minception
then that makes Magnus Fort Max
I like this version of Magnus cuz....
IT'S ALL ONE PART!
genius design!
Will you be getting TR sixshot, I heard he will be about the same height of mp soundwave and mp shockwave
U dare talk crap about minimus ambus? Reeeeee- naw but this was a pretty coo review. I love it.
This UM fits well with LEGENDS CYBERVERSE, the new SIEGE UM is good with car deluxe collectors,
I'm go with TR UM
I wondered if u made TFfanpage 101 embarrassed by publicly saying you "almost" regret it. I hope i don't sound passive-aggressive........ don't be offended plz
Why HasTak didn't just choose to revisit (and improve) the mechanism of the trailer of this for Siege and subsequently Kingdom, I'll never know. Sure, he scales better, coz I can kind of agree CW Magnus may be a tad too tall, but that trailer armor disassembly is so not fun at all.
And it did Kingdom no favors at all.
They revisited Classics for Earthrise Starscream for VERY questionable gain, this seems like the better engineering they should've revisited for their "Earth-mode" incarnation.
I rather the Takara Version by far! Better aint job, and istead of Minimus ambus, we get Alpha Trion! Much better than that purple lion which does not look as Alpha trion at all. Plus I never got this figure becasue this is a refference to IDW Ultra Magnus.
After Optimus Prime, Magnus, Shockwave, Jetfire and Wingblade are my favorite Transformers, and I hated so much what IDW did to one of my favorite characters... killing him to get piloted by a smaller stupid robot...
The Takara version on the other hand, corrects the Japanese mistake and Revives Ultra Magnus, with the power of Alpha Trion. And Magnus, is alive, he does not need any one o pilot him. Takara definetly wins this one! It also got red upper legs refferencing the comics Ultra Magnus which looks way better!
WAH! Expecting comment about review? TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME STARTS RIGHT NOWWWW
The name of the hammer thing is the Magnus hammer
I'm very late but this video is so good! I love the inclusion of stop motion to show what you're explaining!
Yo lazy eyebrow, minibus ambus is inside ultra Magnus, others may have let that die... *but I wont*
I like the Siege one but I do wish that he could carry more cars and had a hammer.
I've been trying to make a hammer for siege Magnus out of other weapons since he first came but no luck so far...
@@UnethicalVoxel I will say, Matrix Workshop's hammer based on this one DOES look better. Still not getting Siege or...Kingdom (bleh) just for that, but I will mod my CW Ultra Magnus' weapons to be more like that beefier version of this one's hammer
The Hammer may be a Reference to Transformers Animated where Ultra magnus weilds a large Hammer
ive never like the white prime.. in fact i used to use him as optimus ghost..we didnt have translucent tf back then..😜
Both blasters are semi automatic, the larger one maybe fully automatic though.
This version of Ultra Magnus has a Diaclone reference.
Have you got a transformers siege war for cybertron leader class ultra magus
I want to get this guy but he’s not old enough to find a bunch on eBay and not new enough to find it at stores.
The cab on combiner magnus looks like a grumpy face
trying to transform him is a nightmare and the instructions suck
Will you be reviewing Siege Ultra Magnus?
We should have power of the prime ultra mangus
Get in the damn robot minmus ( evangelion reference)
Minimum maximums is supposed to be the white optimums prime thing.
I prefer the combiner wars one honestly
Magnus to titanfall confirmed?
Haha lol tr optimus prime wiht trailer has another remold
nice review I have one too
I luv this toy, just wish the cab was Voyager scale
Combiner wars streetwise looks like a hot wheels car
when i see his cab it looks like something from rescue bots
Do you know when you will review tracks?
yeah Eyebrow it is based off of the idw comics
Do combiner wars megatron review
I think the hammer is a reference to Animated
U said when u reach triple digits.
........
titanfall = dis magnus =
magnusfall XD
You made the right decision
Read the comics, seriously.
As I said in my review of the LG-14 version of this mold, it takes a good figure to have solid build quality, a kibble free truck and robot mode with great articulation along with amazing screen accuracy. It takes an amazing figure to expand upon screen accuracy with additional intricate detail, expand upon the design elements of a $240 masterpiece collectors item, add appealing non intrusive gimmicks to said figure, and keep it affordable to the mainstream retail market. This review is excellent, and the figure itself beats the masterpiece in my opinion. The production value compared to the retail cost is more befitting of the CW version being 5 times less at retail and still managing to beat out design elements of the masterpiece (IE: No bull shit shoulder hinges attaches with white thin plastic, MUCH cooler gimmicks, WAAAY better use of the truck cab's mass in to the chest instead of the back, etc.) I love this channel and I love this review!
this is from the IDW design
Id rather get the takara version
I want this figure now.
I need one...
He is just so perfect, much better than my FoC Ultra Magnus.
Either this or Ginrai.
I got this figure on Feb 17 2016 for my birthday and I love it
My birthday on Feb 14
Minimus IS Magnus, he’s one of many that have assumed the identity since the original went offline. This toy is based off of IDW’s incarnation.
Someone SERIOUSLY needs to read More Than Meets the Eye...So many nods to the comics and he calls them "random" >.>
ConDucktor Whirl, War Starter and Crate God can't say I'm in to comics, but yyyyeeeaaahhhh, I have no excuse for not researching before script writing
have to disagee with you in quality. it below the leader class standard of before. the plastics are so hollow. and even comparing it to more his contemporaries like leader megatron. megatron looks fully painted. rubber tracks. and more chunky. it sad that the designs are top notch but the paint apps and plastic quality are below grade.
clifford sy stop complaining
great vid as always
Your lucky you could find him. He NEVER showed up in my area. Plus Ebay prices...
It's the internet. Nobody cares.
I only found him in stores once but he's on sale at hasbrotoyshop.com for about $23 if you're interested
Dang it now you've got me wanting that one box set with this guy
ALMOST 10,000 SUBS MAN!
the nmagnus hammer i gusse?
I am sorry to hear that u do not like Beast Wars. I like it. That is why I want u to review MP Optimus primal and send it to me.
MP32
I am torn between getting this one and the siege, please help. Combiner wars has a better vehicle design and transformation, but Siege has more possibility tho.
I never got the siege because I liked this one for the reasons you stated. Plus taller. Plus not a partsformer
Cool
