'''Magnaboss''' physically combines [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s ferocity, [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]'s swiftness and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s strength. Having fought together for eons from their time as [[Autobot]]s, their spark fusion into a new persona is a rousing success as well. Magnaboss has Prowl's analytic mind, Ironhide's great courage, and Silverbolt's deep compassion. As a leader, he is inspirational, and as a warrior, he has forged a legend that has made him a symbol of Maximal unity and strength. His weapon of choice, the megaton battle sword, is forged from the combination of all the weapons of Magnaboss's component Transformers.

In the past, he incorporated [[Tigatron]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. But after Perceptor fell in the final push of the [[Great War]], [[Under-3|Unit-3]] stepped up as a last-minute replacement.

Magnaboss was a member of the [[Maximal High Council]] after the [[Great Reformatting]]. He, along with his fellow council members, disbelieved [[Optimus Primal/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] when he warned them of the threat of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}} He was a [[Matrix Templar]]. Some time later, Magnaboss died, and he and the similarly-deceased [[Hot Rod|Rodimus]] were replaced as Templars by [[Sentinel Maximus]] and [[King Atlas]]. {{Storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 18/8/2015}}

Magnaboss was created as a fusion of the [[Maximal Imperium]], in a tactical response to the introduction of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[combiner]] [[Tripredacus]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}} After Perceptor died near the end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the provisional "Primal Council" recruited Unit-3 as a replacement leg. In what would be the final battle of the war, Magnaboss was deployed against [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s rogue contingent. The combiner easily held the line against the [[Decepticon]]s until the [[Tripredacus Council]] surrendered shortly afterwards. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Though he disappeared from public view after the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], a legend arose that he would return at a time when the Maximals needed him most. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

===''Classics''===
When modifying the Autobots' bodies to handle the unstable [[energon]] on prehistoric [[Earth]] of [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|another dimension]], Prowl included a contingency plan, allowing himself, Silverbolt, and Ironhide to merge into Magnaboss. The new ability was first demonstrated when the Autobots, now calling themselves Maximals, were attempting to retrieve their [[Graviton (Classics)|ship]]'s missing energy purifier. Facing [[God Neptune (BWSG)|God Neptune]], the trio merged into Magnaboss. Unfortunately the added power still wasn't enough, and the Maximals were left defeated. {{storylink|Shattered Hope}} Magnaboss briefly formed to again fight God Neptune, only to be soundly defeated by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Gigastorm Armor]]. {{storylink|Shattered Destiny}}

==Commercial appearances==
In the middle of a barren wasteland, Magnaboss and Tripredacus dueled in close-quarter combat. {{storylink|Commercial/Beast Wars#Magnaboss and Tripredacus|Magnaboss and Tripredacus commercial}}

*'''Magnaboss''' (Ultra, 1997)

:Magnaboss was sold as a boxed 3-pack of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Prowl]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Ironhide]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)#Beast Wars|Silverbolt]], each packaged in [[beast mode]]. He is formed by combining the trio, with Ironhide forming the arms, legs, and waist, and Silverbolt and Prowl forming the upper torso and robot head.

:He wields a sword formed by combining Prowl's tail weapon, Silverbolt's feather fringes, and Ironhide's clubs; he can also use Silverbolt's wingtip missile launchers, which end up as part of his chest.

:By design or misengineering, his head ends up tilted back a bit, perpetually gazing upwards. Like his counterpart [[Tripredacus]], Magnaboss has a fandom reputation as one of the most complex toys of his era.

:Magnaboss was [[redeco]]ed as ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Magnaboss (BWII)|Magnaboss]].

*'''Unit-3''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)

**''Accessories:'' rifle (combined from gun and shield), four small weapons, four hands/feet

:Magnaboss can be formed by combining the retail ''[[Combiner Wars]]'' figures [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Generations|Ironhide]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)#Generations|Silverbolt]] with [[BotCon 2016]] exclusives [[Under-3#Combiner Wars|Unit-3]] and [[Tigatron#Combiner Wars|Tigatron]]. The 'official' configuration places Ironhide and Prowl as the left and right arms respectively, and Tigatron and Unit-3 as the left and right legs respectively. Additionally, a set of stickers for the three mass-retail figures was available at BotCon to enhance both their own and Magnaboss's resemblance to the original ''Beast Wars'' figures.

:Magnaboss is armed with a [[5mm post|5mm]] rifle formed by combining Silverbolt's gun and shield, which can be further expanded by attaching Legends Class [[Powerglide (G1)#Generations|Powerglide]] or one of his mold-mates in gun mode. You can also use the "shield" of Silverbolt's gun and Tigatron's gun blade to make a sword for the combiner.
