Images of new Generations Legion Class Ultra Magnus and Skywarp

I thought Skywarp was Dirge for a second, until I realized that I was looking at both his head and his back simultaneously rather than separating the two.
Hopefully when I have a chance to buy these, the paint won't wear easily as some of my recently bought figures.

Goodbye, Minimus Ambus. Hello, Legends Ultra Magnus.

I'm all over these like white on Prime.

I like that UM's wheels are white.
Was there ever a Thundercracker deco of this seeker mold?

Yeah it came in that G2 themed generations box set with the blue hero prime.

yes, as part of the Generations "Ultimate Gift Set"

it was retooled a little to have null rays as well as the built in weapons

Thanks fellas.

I recently saw a Starscream with the extra weapons at Big Lots.
I might have to go get one and just do a custom TC paint job.

Finally! The G1 direct inspired design! Soooooooo getting this!

I NEED THAT SKYWARP!!!!!!!!!!
Not want, NEED! This is the only scale I can afford the seeker trio without paying high prices or having to search high and low for because I already have the other two!

While I love the idea of the Minimus Ambus figure, I gotta admit your idea is very tempting haha!

Oh, great, one of those things I didn't know I wanted before: an armored Ultra Magnus in naked Magnus colors. The blue legs on the figure annoy me, so close to getting it right.

And wow! That is some ugly Skywarp art! I'm sure that'll sell some figures.

There was also one that came out with that short run of Generasians repaints that were TRU exclusives. That's the one I've got. I'm sure it's the same as the one that came in whatever multipack the others are referring to.

Yup, and its a pretty incredible giftset when you look at the molds they choose to include, all winners! I even fond the first time we newsed it: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-transformers-generations-ultimate-gift-set/25923/

Hey Emerje, you'll have to explain that one to me (I still feel like a noob sometimes). That sentence left me stumped. How is he both armoured and naked?

ANOTHER seeker and Magnus?! This is asinine...

no, takara had the one with no holes on those wings, I actually show him on my signature

edit... yes thundercracker came, but is the first skywarp with those holes on wings, previous takara mold was like on my signature

Come one man, its not even something you'll find at toysrus. These are made for a different market like Fred's (whatever that store is, I never heard of it). Its a lower priced official transformers toy for a parents who want an inexpensive toy for their kids. I just posted it because I thought fans would like to know these are out there because they do go along with a scale we have other toys of. And also because these wouldnt be found at the usual places.

I think he's thinking about putting THIS legends Magnus inside the the upcoming leader Magnus armor. Piloting and the like.

Actually I was talking about the backer card art showing a fully armored Ultra Magnus in the "Albino Prime" white and light blue colors. Now I kinda want to see Leader Magnus in those colors.

Oh my God..I didn't want this Ultra Magnus until you said that. I can picture it now. Delicious.

Heh just found black symbol Bumblebee at my local supermarket for AU$5.60, didn't pick him up though, got G2 Megatron and Starscream instead

I've actually got that set coming from Robot Kingdom along with CW Wave 3 when its released, looking forward to it

Ah, okay. Should've let you answer.

That Skywarp looks good but I'd have to get one of those retooled Starscreams just so all three seekers match.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:That Skywarp looks good but I'd have to get one of those retooled Starscreams just so all three seekers match.

If by match you mean includes holes in the wings I'm not all that sure why you'd want that. I'm pretty certain they stopped including the rays even thought they continue to use the altered molds. The most recent release of Starscream didn't include them and Prime didn't come with the sword even though for a short time he did. By the looks of it neither Magnus nor SW include the extra weapons.

BTW, for anyone looking the usual places are Family Dollar and Big Lots. I think some drug stores (CVS? Walgreens? Rite Aid?) get them, too.

Emerje

I'll buy 'em if I ever see 'em at retail.

I was just about to point out that little oddity , but agreed, it does actually look pretty darn sweet.
As does skywarp, actually. If I see them I may well have to get these two and dig out my RTS classic legends figures.

On the flipside, I find the fact we were able to call the molds used a bit worrisome: nothing can surprise us anymore

If you guys have any spare 3mm weapons laying around, use them: Magnus and Skywarp use the tweaked molds with the 3mm holes.

Was motormaster a tweaked version of the rts optimus mold?

Also, while people might scoff at this line, the RTS megatron is probably the most G1 accurate Megatron toy we ever got.

Yup, in fact the so-called "GDO series" was the source of all the retooling done thanks to the extra weapons (sword for Prime, Null-Rays for Starscream, blasters for Hoist and Prowl). The retoolings carried over into the second run of 2012 re-release of Prime and Starscream (with weapons included) and the 2014 releases (without weapons).

See, I wasn't planning on getting the Leader Ultra Magnus (did I need another Magnus), but like other people, I'm thinking of popping that little one in and out and now I have to get both.

Well played Hasbro.

Would RtS Legends Prime even fit in Leader Ultra Magnus? I read on the wiki that Minimus Ambus is no taller than a regular Kreon...

....and an hour before this post was found, I posted in-hand pics of these two and Cliffjumper in the Toy sightings forums over here. I did get them for 3.00 apiece, though..

Ya gotta cram 'em in there.

Wait, there are already OUT???

Hot dog! I need to find them. NAO!!!

GDO.

It's very tough for the new staff to filter through the sightings page due to all the info. If you have something interesting, please be sure to send us a message to news@seibertron.com. Can you send us a link ot your post please?

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:I read on the wiki that Minimus Ambus is no taller than a regular Kreon...

Really? Oh my, that'd mean even that tiny Optimus that came with Stratosphere wouldn't work. On the other hand, that makes Minimus an impressive feat of engineering considering he looks like a full Legion figure.


Hmmm... IIRC that "Class of 84" Kreon set had a 'white Optimus' UM. Not exactly easy or cheap to get, and aesthetically off, but it's an option.
(suddenly, I'm disappointed there wasn't any cross-interaction of this type between Kre-O and Construct-A-Bots)

By the by, what do you think the possible 4th wave should contain? I'm personally counting on Smokescreen

I would like to see some of the hard to get ones like Jazz, Warpath and co being released

Probably be another seeker in there (Acid Storm, Sunstorm). Interestingly, you can flip the nosecone up, making the Starscream mold a conehead, though the wings wouldn't match if they did Thrust, Ramjet, or Dirge.

They could repaint Jazz into Stepper.

If they're really not concerned about accuracy, they could repaint Brawn into Outback.

I just though of another one: since Prime Predacons are fair game, how about Hun-Gurr as Doublecross?



Problem is, who could Twinstrike be redecoed into for a full complete Abominus wanna-be

Months ago in either May or June when the first wave of these legends/legions figures came out in the UK, the Argos catalogs said there are 9 to collect. Maybe these are the remaining 3 of the 9?

Full list of figures in the series:
1.) Optimus Prime (RtS legends rerelease).
2.) Bumblebee (DotM legion 4-pack rerelease)
3.) Starscream (RtS legends rerelease)
4.) Grimlock (Prime BH Cyberverse Rippersnapper repaint)
5.) Strafe (Prime BH Cyberverse Windrazor repaint)
6.) Megatron (Universe 2008 legends rerelease, unreleased in the UK)
7.) Cliffjumper (Universe 2008 legends Bumblebee repaint)
8.) Ultra Magnus (RtS legends Optimus repaint)
9.) Skywarp (RtS legends Starscream repaint)

Yesterday, we found images of the new Ultra Magnus and Skywarp coming out as part of the Generations Legion class. However, the initial listings (listing them as imports and including no images) included a listing for Cliffjumper.

We finally have a picture of this toy as well, thanks to fellow Seibertronian Fuhzimota who also found him at Fred's, along with his other wavemates. Once again, this toy is not be be confused with Generations Legends Cliffjumper.

Here is the description of his finding

Cliffjumper, Ultra Magnus and Skywarp on the cheap!!! At Fred's in Columbia, MS found these listed for $3.65, they rung up at $3.00 Noticed differences in the paint apps versus the card backs; Skywarp's purple details are much darker- almost black, and Magnus' teeny tires are white; I think they actually look better...

Anybody know where that Magnus art is from?

Man I'd love to get a set of these for the Seibertron.com galleries! No Fred's up here in Chicago unfortunately.

Seibertron wrote:Man I'd love to get a set of these for the Seibertron.com galleries! No Fred's up here in Chicago unfortunately.

If the past waves are any indication, they should be hitting general European retail in a month or two. I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

The Fred's in my area actually closed down a few months ago. Maybe we will see these at the other Market Six stores soon.

Ya. I'm thinking Big Lots and Dollar General for sure.

That tampographed Autobot symbol on Cliffjumer is "Ginormous!" We get it, Cliff, everyone is a potential traitor except for you.

I like the Takara Tomy version of Henkei Cliffjumper a lot more. The Autobot symbol is still a slightly bigger than that of Universe 2008 Bumblebee, but it's a much closer match, plus I like the screen accurate gray arms and legs as opposed to black. Ultra Magnus is still tempting as an alternative for Minimus Ambus for the upcoming CW Leader version. I want to get a legion Skywarp to complete the seeker trio at that scale...but that purple is looking way too dark. I might go for the Takara Tomy "EZ Collection" version instead.

Cliffjumper = better then the henkei
Ultra Magnus = whatever
Skywarp, after seeing "combiner wars legend or w/e" Thundercracker.. to quote Ricky from trailer park boys "This is ****** man.."
super massive "D'N'B" style edits. The US version of Thundercracker from the second legends starscream, and acidstorm, was so badly painted I wanted to return it, horrible. the original universe legend mold was painted/ colored 1000000000x better..
combiner wars legends if not a unique mold, will be half arsed. (tho black jack, I looked at 8 copies before I found a "good one"..)

Why cliffjumper is better than takara's version? I see esactly the same, gray wheels, and colors... I have takara's version on hands

I wonder if/when these guys get a European Release will Cliffjumper be Memorial Cliffjumper
