Don't care. Would make more sense than Trion since Raikuru is a Micromaster and supposed to be tiny. And would give us the first toy of another obscure cartoon-only Japanese-original character. Takara could come up with some story in their pack-in Legends manga to explain why the two come together.

Honestly if you're you want something so obscure Takara dosen't even care about it; you might be going to far. Also Alpha trion makes sense in that depening on your view of the Magnus/prime relationship, it's like getting Optimus prime's brother, and mentor in the same pack. Honestly I doubt takara will even acknowledge the minifigure's meant to go in ulttra magnus's chest.

It would have been great if the cavity in Magnus could have been configured to fit a full-size CW Legends class figure. As it is, it's cool, but Minimus Ambus is too darn small (cute as a button, though!).

Gotta see a few more sent pics of the Takara version first. I might like their paint apps better.

IDW Magnus is Generation One Magnus. Just another iteration of G1 continuity

No. They are two completely different characters. IDW is based off of G1, but that's it, and loosely at that.
IDW's main comic is a new and different version of G1, is what people mean. There is no one single "G1 Ultra Magnus", as there's the cartoon version, the UK Marvel Comics version, the Dreamwave comics version, the IDW comics version, and more.

exactly, Generation One is not just the original cartoon or original comic. IDWs main universe is a Generation One universe. Why do you think the IDWs Magnus is in the Gernreation One section of tfwiki.net or this toy under the G1 toys page.

It's a Generation One universe. One of many.

thats like saying Reveal the Shield Spec Ops Jazz isnt a G1 character because it was called "reveal the shield" it is. it's G1 Jazz.

Thanks once again to weibo user Starscream韋, and via a tip from Seibertronian grimlockdown, we get our first actual look at the newly repurposed Generations Leader Jetfire as the head of the Seekers himself, ruler of Cybertron, fabulous miscreant and Chosen One - Lord Starscream. Check out the images below, showing off the character's traditional deco, complete with null rays, arm cannons and a coronation crown that seems straight from the animation *and* IDW comics.

Re: Transformers Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus: Minimus Ambus In Hand (1684243)
Posted by Stryfe Convoy on May 11th, 2015 @ 3:41am CDT

So the in box pics of UM show Ambus on the outside, which means that you can have both in Robot mode separate from each other. That makes more sense for the Takara version, a little bit mind you, in that you can have Alpha Trion as a separate character, since Trion shouldn't be inside Magnus, as far as any fiction I personally know of. The only big downside for the Takara version is that Trion is so tiny. I'm still getting the Hasbro version, I don't think the changes between the 2 are worth the import prices.

As far as the leader class Starscream, I'm not digging it. Seekers are supposed to be small, nimble and fast. Not towering over everyone else. More for those who like it...

Damn, that Ambus is an ugly little thing. Needs a hankerchief to wipe that dribbly sneezy snot off his face and chest and niether mode looks good. Just throw it away and pretend that IDW story never happened.

Starscream looks ok at that size but the wing backpack looks terrible as it's all the bad almost 'wireframe' looking under-side showing from the front view and makes him look cheap. Acceptable I suppose on a small figure but just looks ugly on a large one. Could use more paint apps but that's easily fixed.

Damn, just ebayed him last week for a little 80 eurios :HEADHURTS:

Oh well, lowest he'll be in The Netherlands is 60 eurios I guess. Patience isn't my strongest suit.

Ontopic:
Ultra Magnus is just, ... so great. And the Masterpiece is also great.

I'm not going to collect the leader Seekers, but they do look good. If their heads were more G1 I might be tempted.

Still. Raikuru would best come with Star saber than UM. It's just to far a stretch to link them.

I had a feeling that "gem" in his forehead wasn't just for show.

I might grab one for the 'Screamer display to represent the IDW version of the character. Probably not going to do the whole Seeker affair if Skywarp is made. Already did it with Fall of Cybertron, I'm trying to do it with Classics now, and I'm waiting on Legends Skywarp to finish the set.

So the madness begins... ya'll do know Hasbro does the seekers because they view you as suckers, right?

Because the G1 cartoon used the Seeker model as generic Army-Builders and crowd fillers (along with hordes of Reflector clones), in a variety of colors. So we've grown numb to Seeker repaints, to the point we're going ga-ga over any new ones, especially if there's a basis for them in the cartoon.

That said, are we sure it's Hasbro doing this? I could see this as the Japanese counterpart to our Thundercracker and TakaraTomy would have less qualms about releasing in white and red (again). Then again, Japanese figures are hardly ever leaked this way... :-?

Having Jetfire already, these so called "seekers" are an easy pass. The mold just isn't worth the leader class price point.

Forgive me for not specifying, but with talks of the classics seekers in this thread, I was referring to G1. And as JelZe said, G1 used the seekers as army builders. And Starscream sure does look a lot shorter than Megatron in this G1 clip.

I honestly don't remember a time, besides Cybertron, where Starscream was as tall or taller than Megatron. Except maybe the movies. I can't remember about in the movies. So let's look at the toys released then. They released a leader class Jetfire. Jetfire in the G1 toon, was taller than all the seekers. Now they are releasing a remold of leader class Jetfire as the seekers. The seekers should look up to Jetfire.

Not starting an argument, I hope, just pointing out where I'm basing my opinion.

Agree to disagree on this one Sabrblade?

Memes aside, the two are roughly, but not exactly, the same height in these pics.

The Leader Megatron toy is only a little taller than the Leader Jetfire mold, so the height difference between the two toys is about the same as the cartoon height difference.

Not really feeling that Starscream. Seems a little washed out. I do love that mold and I think the TC version is dead sexy.

The Leader Class is an odd turducken of a size class. I've learned to not be super hung up on scale, but it's always nice when it works out.

As always, excited to see more pics.

Starscream is a pass for me. If I want one to fit with my MP collection, there's MP Starscream. If I want one to go with my Classics collection, there's quite a few deluxe figures that fit that need. If I want a giant Starscream with a crown, there's the Cybertron version.

I might have been tempted if the wings looked better in robot mode... but... without those wing details, it just doesn't look Starscream enough to me to warrant another large figure.

I think he needs a hammer.

Yes, I now you can combine the rocket pods into a hammer, and bludgeoning people with rocket pods is probably just as awesome as it sounds, but I want an actual intended to be a hammer type hammer, possibly so he still has his rocket pods.

I'm kinda torn, as to whether I want to repaint Minimus Ambus now or leave him alone. Initially, I wanted to do him up as Powered Buggy, but as I think of it, PB was with his diaclone paint, not Ultra Magnus. I dunno. Might leave him alone and leave him in the same roll
