It's a sickness isn't it?

Seems like it, maybe you should talk to Dr. Va'al, I'm sure he and Alpha-Bravo would be able to help

In all seriousness though, this guy looks great - moreso than the original, which looked fairly plain and lackluster; my only advice would be to consider selling mp magnus for this guy, if you can't live with both of them

I remember a magazine scan giving him the MP-B1 designation.

so what does the Biocard say? Unless you know, those statements have as much value as Starscream swearing to lay off usurping Megatron's position.

Prime examples of look alike figures who aren't who we think they are but actually not(not Optimus prime)

1. Pepsi Convoy
2. Masterforce Ginrai
3. Black Convoy MP-01 mold (a remote controlled shell by Daniel)
4. Black Convoy aka Scourge

So for guys and gals out there who know/can read kanji what's the background on this "character"?

Except Delta Magnus is explicitly his own character.

Nippon Yassan is a good option too.

https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/16 ... agnus.html

He is 12,200¥ there (108$ USD) and SAL - International Parcel Registered is 5,000¥ so its only 152,26 USD Shipped.

You could have, they had him then too And plus the shipping is registered so you have tracking AND if you are in the US then you dont get taxed at customs. So that price is final When you feel up to it, I strongly recomend you give importing a shot

I strongly beleive that. Hence why I just bought Encore Fort Max. I would not get over it if he was no longer available online and I had to rely on ebay or other secondary market sources.

This would even explain the yellow eyes as well, as the original toy's eyes had no color.

I feel like if I picked this guy up, I'd have to go back and get the G1 based Delta Magnus. Anyone else think that?

Glarryg

So too did Optimus's original toy (both the Diaclone and TF versions) have yellow eyes (which the cartoon changed to blue), but the super robot eyes of the Ultra Magnus helmet were dark and colorless (for both the Diaclone and TF versions).

I think picking up the original diaclone would be the better way to go, he comes with an extra transforming figure that we never got with the Hasbro release.

Motto: "Lies also shine bright."

Delta Magnus is part of a peacekeeping and relief mission in outer space, where he is a savior to the inhabitants of remote regions and planets; he was known of by Convoy, Supreme Commander of the Cybertrons, since early times. But even this legendary hero has a secret he won't divulge. He was once asked to be Earth's City Commander, but declined it, for those in Earth's forces also know of him from earlier times and he fears the possibility of the truth coming out.

Woho, what secret? That he used to be Ultra Magnus, the once great City Commander of Autobot City on Earth? And thus the one who was there when it all went to hell?

He might be Ultra Magnus from an untold future then.

Wait, why would the guy who declined the offer to be City Commander be the same guy as the City Commander?

Wasn't that already indicative from the toy's name being "Delta Magnus"? I mean, there's no other Diaclone Powered Convoy-based character with that name.
