What do you think about the Beast Hunters Prime news.

No noses? No problem! Zombiebots? Sure, why not. A confusing new canon that allows loose and contradictory material? And now a new sequel show with an entirely different art style that takes place way in the future!

It's worth noting that Hasbro's official pics can't always be trusted on these things. The ones they put out for Ripclaw showed her still sporting the eventually-unused 'prototype' Predacon symbol, while the toy itself has the mainline one. Sometimes they just goof.

While I love the ideas of Two Ultra Magnus repaints/retools,using the Two bigger sized TFP 2012 toys. with the remolded chest,head,wings,shoulders & wings. I'll try to buy both TFP BH Voyager & Platinum Ultra magnus toys this year.

I thought the 2012 TFP Rid Voyager sized Ultra magnus new mold was a great toy. I would have loved to see Hasbro re-tool the robot chest to look like 1986 Ultra Magnus's chest. It just seems odd that Hasbro would re-tool the two TFP Optimus toys from 2012 with G-1 styled ultra magnus 1986 robot chest plates but not the 2012 Ultra magnus TFP toy too.

With Two ultra magnus toys comming out in 2013,Hopefully this is the year of the Ultra Magnus. I'd love to see Takara release a MP Ultra magnus,that is basically the MP-10 Convoy toy recolored in Ultra Magnus white colors,with a Car carrier trailer that breakes up to form armor parts for the robot mode to wear like as follows: Bigger head,boots,forearms,waist plate,Chest plate,back pack cover,shoulders. plus tons of weapons & accessories like the missle launchers,missles,riffle gun,matrix,etc..

We're never getting MP Magnus with any sort of armor. Ever. I've made my peace with that after MP-02 only came with a crappy cardboard trailer. As much as I would LOVE for this to happen, like I said, I've made peace with the fact that it never will.

You have no Crystal ball,It was a wish list,anything is possible.

One year+ ago,A takara designer posted pics of a MP Ultra magnus using the car carrier as armor parts for the robot mode.
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... age/22831/ I suspect this idea was canceled due to the MP-01 Mold being so big & exspensive,This idea would work well for the MP-10 mold as it's smaller & cheaper priced.

Deathy does have a point--Masterpiece Magnus is actually a viable thing right now.

Ok, first off, and for the second time: I DO have a crystal ball and that's not what they're used for!

Having said that, HOLY CRAP DUDE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!! I don't think you were around for this a few years ago but I went on this epic rant bashing Takara and Hasbro for constantly putting out Primes and "Ultra Magnus"es without trailers and how I refuse to buy any more Ultra Magni because it's not UM but just a white Optimus Prime and blah blah blah, I won't bore you with the details. But suffice to say I'm definitely on the bandwagon with you here. Nothing would thrill me more than having an MP UM With actual trailer armor.

Ok, well maybe an MP Shockwave. But that kinda goes without saying.

What are you talking about? I remember discussing here that an MP Ultra Magnus, complete with his armor, was possible with the release of MP-10 giving Optimus his full trailer and accessories. Although I hoped that we would have seen something about it by now, especially with how fast Takara seems to be cranking out new MP figures and repaints recently. But it is still possible they could make one eventually.

It's a public reply to a very underhanded private message I got from Tigermegs ordering me to stop "flame baiting" him and trolling his threads. He also now believes that you and I are the same person using different usernames specifically for the purpose of trolling him :roll: The guy's nuts, I've blocked him and put all of his future PMs on autodelete. I don't have enough spare time to waste on making someone's life on the internet difficult and why he would be arrogant enough to think that someone would waste their time doing so is beyond me. I mean, seriously, I don't have that kind of time on my hands for one and for two I don't give enough of a shit to go through all that effort.

Besides, lol, if he actually went back read some of our previous arguments, he'd realize pretty quickly that we're obviously not the same person. The AHM thread alone should prove that, not to mention that most of that happened long before he joined our site. Seriously, I have to wonder what goes on in his head. The guy definitely lives in his own paranoid little world of crazy.

The underhanded part of his approach is that he sent me the PM and disabled the ability to reply to it, effectively throwing out wild accusations with no chance to defend myself. I guess some people are so afraid of the truth that they don't even want to hear it.

I must have either forgot about that or missed it somehow. I would love to see this happen, but honestly, I'm not gonna get my hopes up until we see some official announcement. Also, if Takara ever does do it, it also increases the chances that Hasbro would release it here like they did for MP10.
