This inner robot is of course essential just a Voyager class-sized white version of Optimus Prime, however it is not an identical mould to the Kingdom Optimus Prime figure. This is only the third official Ultra Magnus figure to have this feature, after the Masterpiece and original G1 toy.
Between that and the weight, this definitely feels like a figure that justifies its Leader class status.īut one of the coolest features of the War for Cybertron Ultra Magnus figure (whether it be the Siege or Kingdom versions), is the fully working Magnus armour feature, which sees the armoured pieces of the robot remove to reveal a fully moulded and articulated inner robot underneath. There may be quite a lot of hollow areas on Magnus, but he's certainly chunky in all the right places. Where there is paint it's all applied exquisitely however, and it all really stands out on that bright white body. The colours on this figure are fantastic too, with most of the blue and red sections done with plastic rather than paintwork. Like the rest of the Earthrise/Kingdom figures, Ultra Magnus is heavily inspired by the G1 cartoon design but features more detailed moulding to give it a more modern edge (which for the most part is what sets these figures are apart from the Studio Series 86 releases).
Best of all, it also loses all that ugly battle damage the Siege figures were covered with. Alterations include a completely redesigned cab front in alt mode, modified Magnus armour, an altered chest section in robot mode and a new face sculpt giving Magnus those more familiar goggle-style eyes (complete with light piping!) as opposed to the standard ones the Siege figure has. Kingdom Ultra Magnus is a retool of the Siege figure from 2018, slightly altering the design to even more closely resemble his original G1 look.
