	:I get what you mean, but that's a bit of a stretch saying that it's a straight up reference to the ''G-2'' toy. The Netflix figures are sold as "screen accurate" depictions of the characters in the WFC Trilogy cartoon. In Ultra Magnus's case, it represents his corpse or his badly damaged body before his death, as the model's paint scheme used at the beginning of the show is more reminiscent of the original ''Siege'' toy. The product description isn't exactly wrong either as it is still technically "battle damage" that he sustained.

	On the main MP page, the figure release date is 3-24-2005. However in this article, it says the original release year was 2004, but then in Australia in 2005. Something doesn't jibe here. Not sure where the 3-24 date comes from, but the booklet that came with the figure has copywrite 2005.
