==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
* Debris from the [[1943]] [[World War II]] battle between [[Japan]] and the [[United States military|US forces]] at [[Guadalcanal]] can still be found. Banished from the [[Victory (G1)|Decepticon HQ]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] uses some of this debris to build the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]].{{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

* Unveiling ceremony for the [[Optimus Prime memorial]].{{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

===Transformers vs. G.I. Joe===
* After it's defeat in [[World War II]], [[Cobra]] resurfaces as a terrorist organisation. The remains of the Transformers, having been nearly wiped out during the war, are used in a massive arms race.

* A [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe team]] led by [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] attacks a [[Cobra]] shipping facility in [[New York City]]. While the facility is largely destroyed, [[Destro]] and [[Scrap-Iron]] manage to escape via [[Flight Pod|Trouble Bubble]]. Soon afterwards, the Joes detect the crash of an [[Autobot]] shuttlecraft near [[Portland]]. Flint and several other Joes were sent to retrieve it, and after meeting with a rookie team led by [[Spirit]], they repell a Cobra strike team and recover the unconscious [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. Along with [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] and [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], a retired [[Scarlett]] decides it is time to tell the new recruits about their adventure with the Transformers. {{storylink|Targets of Opportunity}}

==Non Fiction==
===Events===
* 20 years before the merger with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], Tomy's US branch registers the name "Scrapper" as a [[trademark]] in the "toys" field. This same year, [[Hasbro]] releases a [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] of [[Scrapper (G1)|the same name]]. This presumably does not result in any repercussions for Hasbro.
* [[GiG]] abandons the [[Trasformer]] line and instead re-releases the toys in actual Transformers packaging.

Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys

2011-06-16T13:24:23Z

81.151.80.149: /* Commemorative Series */

{{suite}}

[[Image:MP Magnus book cover art.jpg|right|225px|thumb|He can't deal with the obligatory joke now!]]
Sometimes [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] looks a lot like [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. There are a lot of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime toys]], and they need to be [[redeco]]ed into SOMETHING. Ergo...

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:Ultramagnusg1toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Honkimus Prime]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his robot modes to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

:The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus, however, ''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head.

[[Image:Reissue ultra magnus.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

:Ultra Magnus was first reissued in Japan in December of 2000, featuring no discernible changes from the original Japanese edition of the figure. His packaging sported a metallic golden sticker commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the ''Transformers'' franchise in Japan.

:This reissue of Magnus was accompanied by two exclusive redecos, noted below.

[[Image:Ultra-magnus Matrix Glow.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Till All Go Number One!]]
*'''Shining Magnus''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, trailer connector/waist plate, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: With a yellow cab and an entirely translucent yellow trailer, Shining Magnus (シャイニングマグナス, sha-i-ni-n-gu ma-gu-na-su) is intended to recall the moment in the ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', just before Optimus Prime dies, when the Matrix is passed to Ultra Magnus and he is bathed in its light. Which was... ''blue''. Yeah, we're not sure how that works.

:Shining Magnus was one of two exclusive redecos released in the wake of the 2000 reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy. Limited to only 800 pieces, it was available only at the 20th Century Toy Museum toy show, held on [[December 26]], 2000 at the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Yokohama, Japan. The toy is sometimes known as "Matrix Glow Magnus" amongst collectors, or less favourably, "Urine Magnus".

[[Image:G1 UltraMagnusPreviewVersion toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Blue Honkimus Prime]]
*'''Ultra Magnus Movie Preview Version''' (2001)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, trailer connector/waist plate, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: In the early stages of the development of ''The Transformers: The Movie'', [[The Transformers: The Movie promo|promotional footage]] for the movie was released that depicted Ultra Magnus in the black, red and dark blue color scheme of the original ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy toy. As the second of two exclusive redecos released in the wake of the 2000 reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy, the "Movie Preview Version" (予告編バージョン ''Yokokuhen Bājon'')<ref>"Yokukuhen" can also mean "Movie Trailer"; the terms appear to be interchangeable in Japanese.</ref> of Ultra Magnus paid homage to this early appearance. He ''is'' just a redeco of the Magnus figure, however, and so despite his resemblance to the ''Diaclone'' figure, he still lacks that toy's exclusive features, like Powered Buggy, wheels in his chestplate, and a Diaclone pilot.

: Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus was available exclusively at Toy Festival 2001, held on [[February 26]], 2001 in Tokyo, Japan, limited to 1,500 pieces.

===Transform Jr===
[[Image:Ultramagnus_jr.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (Gokin, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, two fists (left and right), head, cardboard trailer

:As one of the first ''[[Transform Jr]]'' toys, this version of Ultra Magnus was released under the early name for the series, ''Transform Gōkin''. Naturally, the figure is a redeco of the ''Transform Jr'' Optimus Prime toy, a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 cab robot figure intended as a low-cost alternative for younger children. Magnus features a similar transformation to his larger toy, with a removable head in addition to fists, but lacks rubber tires and translucent windows. As with most other ''Transform Jr'' figures, he lacked most of his major accessories, coming only with a rifle (a white redeco of [[Ion blaster|Prime's gun]], rather than Magnus's own unique weapon) and a cardboard replacement for his trailer that had to be assembled by the buyer, and which unsurprisingly, could not form armor.

{{-}}
[[Image:Tfjr magnus galvatron.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Ultra Magnus vs Galvatron''' (multi-pack, 1987)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, two fists (left and right), head, cardboard trailer

:Later, by the time the line had been rebranded with the more familiar ''Jr'' title, the Magnus figure was re-released in a two-pack with a vinyl figurine of [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]], which also came with a die-cast figurine of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].
{{-}}

===Commemorative Series===
[[Image:G1toy commemorative magnus.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (2002)
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

:Hasbro's first and to date only reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy was as part of their ''[[Commemorative Series]]'' of Generation 1 reissues. The toy reinstated Magnus's functional missile launchers, but this meant that, like all the other ''Commemorative Series'' toys with firing projectiles, his formerly quite short missiles had to be lengthened drastically [[for safety reasons]]. Additionally, like the ''Commemorative'' Optimus Prime toy, his smokestacks were shortened to prevent breakage.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/UltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm More information on Ultra Magnus at TFU.info]''
{{-}}

===Generation 2===
[[Image:G2toy-LaserUltraMagnus.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Probably the only Magnus repaint of Prime we'll ever get who isn't just white.]]
* '''Laser Ultra Magnus''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' ''' TRF-13-S'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, sword, 5 discs, ripple missile launcher, 10 missiles, 1 foam missile, foam missile launcher air bellows

: An [[e-Hobby]] exclusive, ''Generation 2'' Laser Ultra Magnus is a redeco of Laser Optimus Prime, transforming into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX extended-hood truck pulling a blue and white tanker trailer. He was packaged in the reissue Laser Optimus Prime's box, along with Prime's instructions, bio card and sticker sheet. Yes, the stickers that have "Optimus Prime" written on them.

:In robot mode, the bottom of the truck becomes a windowed chest based upon the original Optimus Prime toy (and the original Ultra Magnus's cab). His main gimmick is light-up LED headlights and a [[Light-piping|lightpipe]] in the bottom of his right fist, illuminated by an LED in his right forearm, that illuminates his clear sword or his double-barreled rifle if they are placed in that hand. All three LEDs are activated simultaneously by pressing the sunroof-like depression on the roof of the truck.

:The trailer unfolds to form a battle station bristling with many firing weapons. Primarily, these are an air-powered missile launcher, a ripple rocket launcher with 5 missiles that can be launched individually (This turret can also be mounted in Laser Magnus's hand) and a "disc launcher" that fires several white plastic discs. This disc launcher is the only weapon that can be used in vehicle mode.

:This release uses the toolings that were modified for the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] toy, and thus has smooth discs and a less pointy sword. This mold was also planned to be used for the canceled [[Toxitron]] toy.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2006/Cybertron/UltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm More information on Laser Ultra Magnus at TFU.info]''

===Masterpiece===
[[Image:Masterpiece UltraMagnus toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I looked like this in a comic once. ONCE!]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-2'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, Megatron gun with removable silencer, scope and stock, Matrix of Leadership, energon axe

: ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus is a white redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy (Optimus Prime) with all the same accessories, though some have been redecoed. Additionally, his box can be refolded into his classic trailer configuration, but doesn't hold up since it's, well, cardboard. He retains the Matrix, which he can indeed open. Damnit, open.

: As a [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] product, ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus was never released in the US, but was eventually released by Hasbro Australia in 2005 for their market as a Target exclusive, retaining his Japanese packaging, with simple stickers stating a recommended age of 8+, as well as presenting Hasbro Australia's details and explaining what the product was.

: Additionally, [[TakaraTomy]] reissued Masterpiece Ultra Magnus in 2008 sporting their logo in the top right-hand corner of the box to replace the Takara logo in the bottom right featured on the original release in 2004. This reissue has been met with some QC issues much like that of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys| Masterpiece Convoy Complete edition]] such as bad paint applications and chipping, misaligned doors and even misassembled headlights which have been installed upside down.

: Like all the Japanese versions of this mold, Ultra Magnus features different images on his communicators than all other releases. In his case he features [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and a digital readout.

: This mold was also used to make "[[Eldedroid|Masterpiece Convoy Black Version]]".

===Classics===
[[Image:ClassicsUltraMagnus toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Arctic Camo Prime! ]]
*'''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' (Ultra Magnus) Smokestack/laser cannons, Wind vane/blaster, (Skywarp) 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles

: A [[redeco]] of the Voyager class Optimus Prime, this release is part of the Target [[exclusive]] ''Battle for Autobot City'' set with [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. The final production toy has several major paint application differences compared to the toy depicted on the packaging, including the loss of all light blue paint (including his faceplate and crest, both replaced with silver) and darker blue on his thighs. Also, his red eyes are replaced with blue light-piped eyes. Additionally, it seems the smokestacks/double-barreled gun was originally going to be cast or painted white instead of the final version's black.

: Like Optimus Prime, the toy's gimmicks are in his weapons: His smokestacks fold together to become a double-barreled gun, and his aero fairing splits and unfolds to become a large, shotgun-like blaster. The two weapons also combine into a double-barreled shoulder cannon.

: The mold was also used to make "[[Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]" [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] and ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:TitaniumHero UltraMagnus.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Oh, that's right, this Ultra Magnus guy had a trailer or something, didn't he?]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, display stand, 2 rocket launchers

: ''Titanium Cybertron Heroes'' Ultra Magnus is an all-new sculpt constructed mostly of die-cast metal. For the first time, Ultra Magnus' cab and trailer are one piece, rather than a [[partformer]] like the ''Generation 1'' toy version, although the cab is only held on by a peg and can be detached, resulting in a small, super-deformed cab. The toy's wheels can all spin. He transforms very similarly to the original toy, but the aforementioned truck cab now folds down into his back rather than detaching and reconnecting, with his head flipping out of the back of the cab.

: Ultra Magnus is armed with a gray laser rifle and two shoulder-mounted, non-firing rocket launchers which, due to some mistake, face top-down when attached in robot mode. It is unknown whether the launchers were somehow mirror-flipped in manufacture or if his shoulder assemblies [[Misassembly|were switched]]. The latter is perhaps supported by the orientation of molding detail shown in the [[Instruction booklet|instructions]] and on the Generation 1 toy, although the [[Tampograph|tampographs]] could argue against this. One can easily "correct" this by unscrewing his blue forearms and swapping out the shoulders, allowing the launchers to face top-up.

: Unfortunately, due to the robot mode-oriented design of this figure, as well as size limitations, the rear ramp is now solely part of his legs as detail and cannot fold down, nor is there clearance space for any other vehicles to be transported. For some reason, on the side of each of Magnus' legs/ the back of his vehicle mode trailer there are white flip-out wing shaped panels. The paint on these panels flakes off easily, so it's best never to touch them. Like most, if not all, 6-inch Titaniums, his joints are very floppy. His left shoulder contains one of the loosest (if not ''the loosest'') ball joints on a Transformers figure ever. In a possible mis-assembly issue, the figure's knees bend far more ''forwards'' than backwards, strangely the molded detail on the tops of the thighs contradicts this being a confirmable mis-assembly. The vehicle mode also has a hard time of staying as it should as very few pieces actually tab together.

:His chest panel can flip up to reveal a shallow recess for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, though no Matrix accessory to date is actually flat enough to fit inside.

*'''(War Within) Ultra Magnus''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, display stand

: A [[redeco]] of the 6-inch War Within Optimus Prime, transforming into a Cybertronian truck mode used by Prime (but not Magnus) in "[[The War Within]]" comics. The original Prime figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: The word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his gun.

: As a ''[[Titanium Series]]'' figure, Magnus is made in large part from [[die-cast]] metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique, removable nameplate.

*'''Ultra Magnus Brilliant White Pearl''' (2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01U'''

:An [[e-Hobby]]-exclusive redeco of ''[[Alternity (franchise)|Alternity]]'' Convoy, Ultra Magnus transforms into a white 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts and an opening hood, trunk and doors. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm.

:This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (Universe 2003)|Convoy Super Black]].

:The e-Hobby version came packed with an [[Nissan GT-R / Ultra Magnus (Brilliant Pearl White)|exclusive comic book]]. An version available elsewhere in Asia is identical to the e-Hobby version except it does not include the exclusive pack-in comic (like most e-Hobby exclusives released outside of Japan).

The 100-piece puzzle depicted Magnus and [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] in battle with the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], but once broken down, the puzzle pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Ultra Magnus in either robot or truck mode, albeit with a red Optimus Prime-style cab, instead of his own traditional white.

*'''Hero''' (1986)
[[Image:Magnus_voice_changer.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
:Sculpted in the likeness of Ultra Magnus but unnamed on its blister card packaging, this "Electronic Voice Synthesizer" ran on a 9-volt battery and allowed children to "talk like a robot" by mouthing words into the plastic straw attached to its back and holding down the button on its side. Remember, "robots talk slowly and enunciate each word"! Since it was able to create synthesized speech from mouth movements without sound, the toy was used as an inexpensive replacement for electrolarynx devices.<ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/1987-03-16/business/fi-6286_1_toy 'Toy' Gives a Voice to the Voiceless]</ref><ref>[http://alt.gtalumni.org/StayInformed/techtopics/spr92/robot.html Ramblin' Robot has a Sense for Trouble]</ref><ref>[http://gtalumni.org/Publications/magazine/fall90/bloomfie.html Bloomfield's Robot]</ref><ref>Synthesized Voice by David J.

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Watch, 1986, 1993)
:Ultra Magnus was one of three Transformers watches (the others being [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] & [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]) released by Takara, first in Japan in 1986, and then internationally, in the USA in 1993 as merchandise for the ''Generation 2'' toyline. The watch featured Ultra Magnus's torso with a clock in his chest which "transformed" with the push of a lever into a full, tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.

*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.2'''
:Like the Galvatron figure packaged with ''Transform Jr'' Ultra Magnus listed [[#Transform Jr|above]], Ultra Magnus was one of several characters released by Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of sets, in packaging similar to the ''Transform Jr'' line (though lacking the "Jr" part of the logo). Known to have been at least available as part of a box set, Magnus came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four peach-colored [[Decoy]] figures. He took the place of a figure of Optimus Prime, who had been included in the "Part.1" version of the set.

===Transformers Gum===

[[Image:Tfgum magnus.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, large robot head, large robot fists (left and right), pelvis/connector

:A model kit of Ultra Magnus was among the many released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line of [[candy toy]]s. Released as part of the line's third wave, Magnus is molded in red, white and blue plastic, lacking in paint applications but featuring stickers for detail. As a downsized model, he lost some of the features of his larger toy: His cab no longer transforms into a small robot, simply converting into the transitional form necessary to combine with the trailer, though it does still feature a flip-out small robot head for Magnus's large head to attach to. As the name suggests, he also came with a stick of gum.

[[Image:TFGum2010_ultramagnus.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, two rocket launchers

:A new, smaller version of Ultra Magnus was released as part of the revived ''Transformers Gum'' line in 2010, debuting as part of the second wave of figures. A wholly new sculpt (based on the Titanium figure), the new kit is made mostly of dark blue plastic, with a little bit of white and black, and a positively ''ungoldly'' amount of stickers to add color and detail; for instance, Magnus's (non-transforming) cab is completely covered all around in white stickers to cover the fact it's made of blue plastic!

===Transformers Ramune===
[[Image:Decoy magnus.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)

:While no figure of Ultra Magnus was released by [[Hasbro]] as part of their 1987 [[Decoy]] promotion, the Autobot commander did have a soft rubber figure crafted in his image that was available exclusively in Japan, as part of a second wave of the figures released there in the ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line by [[Kabaya]], along with other ''Transformers 2010'' characters. Like the other figures in this series, Magnus was sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box and was available in multiple colors, including red, blue and yellow.

===Forms Robo===
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1987)

:Magnus was also part of the small, Japanese-exclusive ''[[Forms Robo]]'' collection of larger "Decoy"-style figures, with this version of the character standing at around twice the height of a regular Decoy. Like the other figures in this wave, Magnus was packaged in an individual baggie and was available in red, blue, green and yellow.

===Collegeville Costumes===

* '''Ultra Magnus Halloween costume''' (1986)

:Ultra Magnus was one of a small number of characters that [[Collegeville Costumes]] turned into a Halloween costume. This two-piece outfit adhered to the crappy, time-worn tradition of consisting of a sculpted, thin plastic mask held over the wearer's face with elastic, and a smock with a picture of Ultra Magnus and his name on it.

* '''Ultra Magnus mask''' (1986)

: Collegeville also immortalized Magnus in their line of ''Transformers'' masks. Made from flat styrofoam, the mask featured a hinge that allowed the wearer to lift it up and down, transforming from kid to robot in the blink of an eye!

===Parody Deformed===

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1990)
:A small, non-transforming, super-deformed model kit of Ultra Magnus was available as part of Kabaya's "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of candy toys. The second figure of the fourth wave (the sixteenth figure overall), he was available in multiple colours, including red, blue and gold, and came with a "[[Transformers PD Type]]" comic about himself, "Improve Yourself! Ultra Magnus!", as well as a stick of gum.

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)

:Ultra Magnus's original ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Magnus was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separately on a blister card.

:[[Palisades Toys]]' Ultra Magnus statue is a redeco of their Optimus Prime statue from the previous year, and was one of the first pieces of modern merchandise (if not ''the'' first) to do the whole up-til-then-mostly-ignored "white repaint of Prime" shtick, capitalizing on [[Dreamwave Productions]]' recent highlighting of Magnus's white inner robot in their [[Revelation (War and Peace)|comics]]. Sculpted from polystone and limited to 500 pieces, the statue is based on the artwork of [[Pat Lee]]. It was initially sold by Palisades exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]], with any remaining units that did not sell at the convention later made available on the company's website.

:Seeking to produce a super deformed Transformers statue, [[First 4 Figures]] teamed up with Transformers fan site [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com] to run a contest that would allow fans to design their own. The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Iron Bird), and was limited to only 500 pieces. A variant edition of the statue was also produced, redecoing Magnus in the color scheme of his ''Diaclone'' precursor, Powered Convoy, and was even more limited at only 100 pieces.

===Revoltech===
[[Image:Revoltech UltraMagnus.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Don't I look awesome in naked?]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (2007)
**''Series number:'' '''019fs'''
**''Accessories:'' Photon rifle, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand, right handshaking hand

: ''[[Revoltech]]'' Ultra Magnus is, unsurprisingly, a redeco of a simultaneously released Optimus Prime/Convoy figure. A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated action figure, ''Revoltech'' Magnus uses the Revoltech "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime.

: Magnus comes with a photon rifle accessory, as well as a few alternate hands, but understandably lacks the Matrix of Leadership accessory that came with Prime. In its place is a unique extra "hand", a single molded piece of Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime's hands clasped together diagonally, so that when attached to both Prime and Magnus's respective wrists, it allows one to create a scene of the two Autobot leaders shakin' like homies. Additionally, although Magnus comes pre-assembled with the standard black revolver joints that Prime has, his packaging includes a sheet of replacement white joints one can use to customize Magnus with less obtrusive matching white joints (although not enough joints of the right style are included to swap out all black joints to optimal effect).

: As redeco of [[Most Wanted]]'s earlier [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#USB-Powered Speaker Head|Optimus Prime]] speaker tower, Ultra Magnus is a one-meter tall plastic figure, complete with articulated arms and removable laser rifle. The figure's removable head (itself 6.5" tall) contains a set of USB-powered speakers, mounted in two panels which rotate out from the side of his helmet. The control panel, USB port, and earphone port are located on the back of the head, and the whole assembly includes its own display base so it can be free-standing when separated from the tower body.

==Notes==
[[Image:TrasformerSuperBuggy.jpg|thumb|250px|The child custody battle was a long and painful process.]]
* The ''Diaclone'' toy that would become Magnus — called "Powered Convoy" — came in a couple different varieties. Aside from the version that was eventually turned into "Movie Preview" Magnus, there was a "chrome" version that used a lighter gray outer plastic and chromed the central body/lower ramps of the trailer unit. This version was also available in a multi-pack with a red version of the toy that would become [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and the toy that would (20-ish years later) become [[Deep Cover]].

* All versions of the ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy toy came with a red "Powered Buggy" partner-robot that transformed from futuristic buggy (with a space for a Diaclone pilot) to robot and could also use the large rifle in either mode. Why this was excised from the ''Transformers'' incarnation is unknown. The Italian [[Trasformer]] (sic) line by [[GiG]], however, ''did'' release the vehicle as the "Super Buggy" on its own.

* White redecos of Optimus Prime toys that ''look'' like Ultra Magnus, but which surprisingly aren't, include ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|White Convoy]], ''[[Sport Label]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sport Label|Convoy Marine Version]] and ''[[Music Label]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Music Label|Convoy —playing iPod speaker—]], although the latter was actually made from the Ultra Magnus version of the mold.
