'''Ultra Magnus''' is [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime's]] superior officer. He is also the [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobots and the leader of the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]]. His earth altmode is an 8-wheeled [[Wikipedia:HEMTT|Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck]].

Sometime in the past he stole Thor's hammer so he could deal with things

Like [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], he is a veteran of the [[Great War]].

During the Great War, an Autobot [[Arcee (Animated)|intelligence agent]] was in danger of falling into [[Decepticon]] hands. Ultra Magnus sent Ratchet to recover her so the access codes she held in her databanks couldn't be used to deal a devastating blow to the Autobots. {{storylink|Thrill of the Hunt}}

Long after the end of the war, an Autobot Academy washout named Optimus Prime attempted to contact Magnus to report that 1) he and his maintenance ship crew had discovered the legendary [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]], and 2) they were now being pursued by Decepticons. Though nearly denied by [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], Optimus Prime got patched through to Ultra Magnus to report on the discovery. Magnus still didn't believe the Decepticons would pose much of a threat, but agreed to dispatch some ships to escort Prime's ship, the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]''. He warned Prime not to pull any heroics, as it wasn't in Prime's programming. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

This, of course, would all go out the window once it was discovered that the Decepticons in pursuit were in [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s [[Nemesis (Animated)|flagship]], at which point he decided to deal with it.

Upon landing on [[Earth]], Magnus seemed to trust Sentinel Prime's judgement regarding the planet. This might well have been because the big blue lug wouldn't let anyone else get a word in edgewise. Upon hearing that the AllSpark had been supposedly destroyed, he announced that he intended to take these charges very seriously and investigate. Adopting the vehicle mode suggested by his subordinate, the Autobot Supreme Commander proceeded to drive around downtown [[Detroit]] as a massive military vehicle. Smooth. However, once he was led to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] he had to bail that same subordinate out once the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobot]]s had been angered. After a distress call from [[Sumdac Systems]] was answered, he turned the tide in the battle against the malfunctioning police droids. As Optimus Prime acted bravely, loyally, and with sound tactical judgment during that incident, he commended the wayward Academy bot, much to Sentinel's chagrin, simultaneously putting Sentinel in his place. Seeing evidence that the AllSpark indeed still existed scattered about the city, he settled in for the long haul. {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

* '''Ultra Magnus''' (Leader, 2008)
:Given the obvious and significant differences both in their character designs and vehicle modes, Ultra Magnus will ''not'' be an [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] redeco, and there was much rejoicing (yay...).
