Dangard Ace Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 What is that hideous thing in front of UM? ...the one that looks like an anoxeric turkey with two heads wearing a tie-dyed shirt? Thank God for the Binaltech/Alternators line. As for MP-2, I'll pass. Not paying that much for just a simple repaint. I think its's Flame Convoy from the new TF series. Don't really care about it since every other TF is a Convoy. Sorta what put me off the newer Gundams. Every damn robots a Gundam/Convoy.
FlyingPika Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 i cant believe they didnt even give ultra magnus a new head definately a pass.
Deadzone Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Ultra Magnus repaint reminds me of when Superman got a new all white uniform. As Norm Macdonald said: "Problem with the old suit... not gay enough!"
zeo-mare Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 yea that Ultra Magnus is ugly i would much rather have the Prime anyday. chris
eugimon Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 i cant believe they didnt even give ultra magnus a new head definately a pass. why would they give magnus a new head? under the armor he looks just like convoy...?
terry the lone wolf Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 i cant believe they didnt even give ultra magnus a new head definately a pass. why would they give magnus a new head? under the armor he looks just like convoy...? First it was Black Convoy now presenting.....White Convoy! In the old Diaclone days Ultra Magnus was called Powered Convoy.
Southpaw Samurai Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 It's still sort of sad to see a naked Ultra Magnus. Would it have taken all that much effort to construct a simple trailer that transformed into something resembing his armor, like the well done unfinished custom one shown in either this or the previous Transformer thread? Who cares if it didn't make him bigger (frankly, having him roughly the same height as Optimus looks cool anyway). For a crappy plastic trailer/armor, they probably could've even chalked on another $20-30 and people would go for it...I don't know how many are going to go for him as is... At this rate, we'll have a black convoy/Scourge, and then a grey/black one they'll call MotorMaster to go with the Stunticon BT/Alts....
Rick Randy Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Solscud007 got any pics of that "unknown" transformer in "robot form?" maybe soemone would be able to Identify it? as with the binaltech/alternators Be nice to have decepticon "JETS!!!" BE hanging out for a F-15 starscream
eriku Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) I don't care for Ultra Magnus (in any of his incarnations), but didn't we already see the cardboard trailer that the MP version is coming with? There was a photo from a few weeks ago that showed it in the background. Edited February 22, 2005 by eriku
Anubis Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 If he had the trailer I might have considered it, but I'm taking a pass on UM as well. Just wanted to show the pic is all. Black Prime might be cool. Wish they'd do a new masterpiece though. They could probably make a sweet Megatron or something at least.

zeo-mare Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 it looks like the yellow Overdrive is up on ebay. Overdrive
GreenGuy42 Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 it looks like the yellow Overdrive is up on ebay.Overdrive yea, I'm watchin' it...
BoBe-Patt Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 that overdrive's face and some parts of the head remind me of megatron, the original G1 version that is. But it looks good!
Hoptimus Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 it looks like the yellow Overdrive is up on ebay.Overdrive Thats Dragstrip. According to Hasbro anyway.
FlyingPika Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 i cant believe they didnt even give ultra magnus a new head definately a pass. why would they give magnus a new head? under the armor he looks just like convoy...? I've only ever seen transformers the movie which is what got me hooked when i think i was about 7 yrs old. Ultra Magnus is completey diff in the movie, in the series does his "brain" get put into primes body and he gets a new paint job???

I don't think they ever showed Magnus in bot mode without his armor but I didn't watch the cartoon too much. I just liked the toys.

That is what UM looks like under the armor in the Transformers comic. Just like Prime but White. They never showed him without the armor in the movie or cartoon. Only in the Dreamwave Comic.

The cartoon never had him like that.
motley Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) well, its all based off the original toy. the original G1 ultra magnus was a car carrier trailer with a white version of prime to pull it. the trailor converted into armor that the prime toy fit into. the original diaclone version of ultra magnus was a powered up version of convoy (prime). so its less the toy being based off the comic, than the comic reflecting the original toy and being re-referenced in this new toy. Edited February 25, 2005 by motley
Hoptimus Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Plus its a cheap way to reuse the mold. I am sure we will get Black Convoy next year.
BoBe-Patt Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 check this black GF Prime out. I wonder if it is black prime or just a prototype. Can anybody dicpher what is says?
Greyryder Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Don't know what that says, butI think that's an unpainted prototype for HBS-01. The hybrid system Galaxy Convoy. It's supposed to be a five inch tall super articulated figure made of mostly die cast.
tank Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Hey guys i was wondering just how tall are the galaxy force toys? coz I havent bought one of these yet and the soon to come out HBS-01 galaxy convoy is gonna be smaller. so whats the standard size for these guys like the gc-01 galaxy convoy? do let me know thanks
