Titanium War Within Megatron and G1 Ultra Magnus Photogalleries Online

Damn Magnus is out i need to find him. Great pics by the way.

cant wait till i get magnus. They really did a great job designing him.

Now THIS is an effing Classics Ultra Magnus. WINS on more levels than I can count.

well I was really impressed with the poseability of Magnus but not so much about the colors, they seem kinda washed out.

Megatron looks good but he seems to have some limited mobility.

I'll be getting them both though they look great. Thanks for the galleries.

Where does Ultra Magnus' rifle go when he is in truck mode?

I couldn't find anywhere for it to go. Maybe it goes somewhere, but I didn't notice anywhere.

The colors might be partially my fault. It's tough to take pictures of a white figure on a white background without the white bleeding. I thought it was more important to show the detail of the figure than trying to darken the colors.

I have two complaints about this version of Ultra Magnus: not enough red was used on him and his head, just like Rodimus', is way too far forward.

Other than that, I really loved this figure. I think it's the most poseable Titanium yet. I was really impressed that they figured out how to make a poseable Ultra Magnus. Mind you, this wouldn't work in any of the main lines because he's not really a functional car carrier. His alt mode, like much of the Titaniums, is pretty weak. But his robot mode is very cool.

I'm kind of so-so on Megatron. The new Megatron goes to show us just how quickly they've improved the Titanium line from the first Megatron that was released last summer. I think the robot mode is pretty good but his tank mode sucks. It seriously looks like Megatron just layed down and that was it.

Overall, I really like these two figures. I usually have a complaint or two over just about every single figure so don't let my comments about influence you to not purchase these figures. If you've enjoyed the Titanium line so far, then you will most likely really enjoy these two as well.

Very nice as usual Ryan. Megatron has a Go-Bot-ish transformation, it seems waaaay to easy. Magnus on the other hand, I can't wait for him. Very sleek. But on Megatron, I think the picture of WWI over G.I. Joe speaks for itself. Love the Titanium series.

I notice there is a square-shaped hole on Magnus' chestplate - does it serve a purpose? And sorry for asking so many annoying questions!

Man this has really sold me on Megatron, can't wait to get him.

It's a tight fit for the gun handle put I finally got the handle to go in. That's got to be where it goes since the cab can transform back into position and be flush with the backside of the gun.

I just had the chance to look through the galleries and they have sold me on these figures even more. I can not wait to get my hands on them.

Cool. Thanks for the update and the great galleries, Chief! I'll be picking up Magnus when I find him.

anyone know the release date of the titanium g1 magnus?

I would imagine the street date is about in a month or so. Has Cheetor or Fallen shown up in stores yet? I'm pretty much buying all of my new figures from BigBadToyStore.com now because it saves me the time I'd spend hunting for figures. On that note, back to the galleries I go ...

Great figure, other than the colors, which are slightly off but otherwise acceptable.

Disappointing that Megs alt mode isn't tighter and more complete. I've been looking forward to his WW figure since before they even announced it, so I'm a little let down. But his bot mode absolutely rules.

As far as Magnus goes, I dunno, there's a LOT of QC complaints over on TF2005 about it, so I'm a bit paranoid. Everything from the truck wheels not lining up properly to the shoulders missles not fitting into their pegs to his arms just dangling when in alt mode, etc. Mine is showing up this week from BBTS and I'm desperately hoping it doesn't have all the same issues that many other people are complaining about.

Great galleries, btw!

not bad galleries...some awesome pics there.

Like the others said, poseabilities off..but what do you expect form a literal display piece?

Mine has absolutely zero of the problems that you mentioned. Let us know when you get yours.

The washed out look on Magnus didn't seem to be related to the pictures from what I saw.

I agree I didn't like the early titaniums but they really have come around with some much better designs, better paint applications.

My major complaints about Magnus are that he is pearly blue, his head is painted very poorly (and forward on his shoulders, and that his alt mode sucks. I did a mini review on the forum of these two days ago.

Also, I really like Megatron. Sure his alt mode is not the best, but it reminds me of G1 Galvatron. Less of a tank more of a cannon. I haven't looked at the galleries yet, so I'm not sure if you did it, but if you swing the arms down from the main body in alr mode, effectively making two tank treaded props like on G1 Galvatron it is a lot more believeable as a mobile mortar cannon and not necessarily a tank.

Can't Megatron's gun be put on his arm? It looks like there is a hole on his forearm that would be able to hold it. Also, is there any way to store the "shield" on his back without looking rediculous?

Is it just me, or do they have a pearl paint effect? I have my Megatron shipping to me soon, can't wait

see I got my magnus last week from toywiz(sorry but is now out of stock.)It rocks, one of my favorite transformers.left are is kind of loose and one of the soulder missles is the same ao the other which is okey and the chest hole plus gun handle really works(proof).

i really wonder what prowl will look like and it would be cool is they had a pre movie ultra magnus or the y cab which is removeable cant turn in to iner magnus

I'm sure this is another great job, but I'm avoiding them for now as (even though I'm not expecting much) I don't want Magnus' TF pattern spoiled for me just yet.

i didnt like megs before the post but he has kinda grown on me, might get the sucker

I like the design of That Magnus. It makes it seem like the trailer and the cab are as one. I like that better than G1, which is one the better Trasnformers ever made.

Love Magnus!! (tears of joy) As far as Megs goes I still don't get it. I thought he looked like crap when we first saw him, and guess what... still looks like crap.

I'm absolutely in love with that Ultra Magnus! He's gorgeous, and will probably be the first Titanium I actually buy.

Nice galleries Ryan, though you should have taken some pics of Magnus carrying around some little micromasters in his vehicle mode.

Awesome Galleries Ryan. I'm totally digging Megs, and Magnus.

Can't wait to get them both.

I second Joebot's question:
Can Megatron's Gun be placed on his arm, in a kind of G1 Megs type deal. There seems to be a hole in his forearm. But I don't know whether his gun would fit there, although if it did it would look awesome.

Well I'm sold on Magnus. I do agree though about his head. My first observation of the figure from botcon was how far back the shoulders were and that seemed to really bug me. But it still looks like it's worth picking up.

Megatron really let me down. It looks pretty good paint wise and over all basic robot mode pose, but they butchered the tank mode and killed the weapon for me. Prime and Megs from War Within are two of my all time favorite designs and I don't think they got the justice they deserved. I'm a huge Dreamwave fan still and neither of those live up to it.

Down_Shift wrote:Prime and Megs from War Within are two of my all time favorite designs and I don't think they got the justice they deserved.

They are two of my all time favorite designs as well (hell, ALL of the War Within stuff is my favorite take on G1 characters), but I do think they got as good of treatement as they could what with being tiny 6" titaniums with limited transform options. I'm sure if we ever saw larger plastic versions one day, they'd be spot-on.

What I would REALLY like to see is more Stormbringer designs. Seems that many of the Classics had a Stormbringer influence, especially Jetfire, so it would be all kinds of awesome to see toy versions of the Prime & Megs designs done for that mini-series.

Just wait for the grey or green repaints of Fallen to match up with IDW Megs or Bludgeon. I agree 100%, if they were plastic as opposed to fully Die-Cast alot of the problems would have been solved. Still... Megatrons belly down mode is no where near as awsome as the Dreamwave designed ones.

But this titanium design IS the Dreamwave version. The only reason it doesn't look the same (in alt mode) is because they were unable to engineer the lower legs & treads to shift outwards and move up to fit tighter against the front treads. If they did that, the toy would look MUCH more like the tank that it is intended to be, and be as close of a match to the way it was drawn in the comic as Prime's figure is to his comic version.

All in all, yeah, the alt mode of WW Megs is a letdown, but it is very much indeed based on the original Dreamwave drawings... even if it doesn't appear to be

I believe it does as the pic in my little advert I got with my Fallen shows the cannon on the arm.

And speaking of the Fallen, I have to say that I am a bit disappointed in him. He's alright. The Robot mode is definitely awsome. But the tank is actually disappointing in many ways. And why the heck do the instructions call for the removal of the arm cannons to transform??!?!! It's almost as bad as Unicron's transformation instructions. Plus, it required an engineering degree to remove him from his packaging...where's the Tylenol?

My Megs and Magnus are en route from BBTS.

Good to hear that the cannon fits snuggly on the arm, as I personally hate the "I'll hold my oversized shield thing" look and prefer the sleeker cannon on the arm look.

As for Fallen - personally I think he's the best of the entire Titanium lot because a) he's the first Fallen toy we got which is an achievement in and of itself, b) he's huge compared to the other Titaniums, c) he's fulls poseable, d) he's sturdy, e) he has a fairly complex transformation and...

Contrary to complaints, I feel that his tank mode is not a let down. I mean - he's certainly got a better tank mode than Lay-Me-Down-Megatron ....

I wonder what the next 6 inchers will be? Weren't WW Prowl and Grimlock slated to be up next? I would love a WW Prowl.

But I am also wondering whether there will be even more new moulds down the line.

That's a good idea! I would definitely buy this if it was repainted into IDW Bludgeon.

They were indeed minor complaints, though my Fallen came apart at the waist while I was trying to remove him from his packaging. And I was being careful as I like to keep the packaging to store the figures in.

As far as the tank mode goes, the rubberized cannons are bent at wierd angles right now. (I'm hoping they'll straighten out at some point.) The head doesn't seat quite all the way in tank mode. There some odd gaps in the tank that are easily hidden in photos and even viewing at certain angles, but at some angles, they are very obvious. The rear of the tank treads kind of flop around in both tank and robot mode. All of these things were not evident in the Galleries here so when I found them, they let me down a little. Just a little.

Don't get me wrong, at this point he's probably my second or third favorite Titanium. The paint scheme is outstanding! The way they make it seem that there really is fire within this figure is fantastic!

Overall, a solid 3 stars.

Finally an Ultra Magnus figure.

He looks awesome, but the only problems that may stop me from getting the figure is where his head is located and where his arms sit on the figure.

The head isn't in a bad spot, if only the arms were able to slide forward so he didn't look so gumpy from the side.

Sorry I seem to have rambled. I do agree that they are the DW designs. They just fall short of my expectations of them. Even Megatrons chest from the DW comics was out and about in his tank mode and it looked, well more like a tank. I am glad to see that the cannon can be put on his arm though.
