:Because it's... not. You probably experienced [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal/Arriving2|yet another glitch]]. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 13:11, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
::It's an incredibly consistent glitch. I haven't been able to get the page all morning. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 13:22, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
:::Well, I can see it. The bottom (Notes) section reads:
<blockquote style="background:#eeefff;padding:3px">
*Like other pre-Movie material, the posters' text works hard to conceal certain secrets of the movie, notably the identities of Galvatron and Rodimus Prime.
*It seems a bit odd that Kickback is included. Everyone else shown was a brand-new toy for 1986.
*To date, no photographs of the Hot Rod go-carts have materialized on the Internet. If you have one, you'll be our hero forever.
*Once entrants figured out the answer to the puzzle, it was to be entered in the blank on a cut-off strip at the bottom of the poster: "I think _______ is the evil, horrible enemy planet." Mailing this in, however, meant that you no longer had the description of the battle.
*Who is the evil, horrible enemy planet? ANSWER: _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

== I wonder... ==
I know that contests as a matter of public record have to make a list of winners available on request (unless, IIRC, the winner is a minor). I wonder if, in theory, the contest house that ran Decipher the Decepticon still has that winners' list. It's a bit stalky, but if we can post on the wiki that BOBBY JOHNSON OF TUSCALOOSA ALABAMA won the Hot Rod Go Kart, maybe he would find his way here and tell us how wicked sweet it was. Just an idea.

:I highly doubt that anybody who won a Hot Rod go-cart still owns it. They were all probably thrown away like all of everybody else's toys as they grew up. Our best chance would probably be to ask Hasbro in a Q&A, or whatever company got the license to make the carts. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 15:09, 26 October 2010 (EDT)
::Oh sure. But if you HAD one, you had to have taken pictures. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 18:19, 26 October 2010 (EDT)

== Additional Note ==

Kickback has an AUTOBOT logo. Just thought I'd drop that bit of naff trivia in ;)

Amelie:

== Simply a Burning Sky homage? ==
Could his name simply not be a homage to the fact Cindy mistakes Ultra Magnus' name as Ultra MAGNUM, hence his striking resemblance?

== '''Another ''Animated'' montage?''' ==

I haven't seen him run around with a hammer or anything, but the line about him turning into a missile truck, coupled with his having [[Sentinel Major]] around as a <s>lackey</s>lieutenant, makes me think this guy might be more of a nod to ''Animated'' Magnus than a prior G1 iteration. Could the Magnum name be a way to avoid pre-empting the later emergence of a separate Ultra Magnus character in the ''Wings of Honor'' timeline? --[[User:Nerroth|Nerroth]] 19:05, 23 June 2010 (EDT)
:I got the feeling from his bio that he was meant more or less as a combination of all of the Ultra Magnuses. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 19:21, 23 June 2010 (EDT)

Just thought i might add: In latin, Magnum is used as "Medium Big/Bigger than Normal", while Magnus means something like "Huge", wich, as i think, could refer to that UM had this name before he became an/the enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.

::Nope. Different cases of the same word in Latin. No difference in meaning except in context. Otherwise I like your theory though! --[[User:Destrongerlupus|Destrongerlupus]] 17:10, 21 January 2011 (EST)
:::I see, thanks for the correcting, n either for the compliment! --[[User:Rustyscraplet|Rustyscraplet]] 15:09, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

==Linked up==
Should this page be linked up to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)| Ultra Magnus]]? Magnum has some striking similarities to the Autobot. Ed
:This has already been discussed [[Talk:Dion#Ultra_Magnus.3F_Really.3F|here]]. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 20:26, 29 May 2012 (EDT)
