| :Released as part of the BigBadToyStore exclusive 5-pack, "Magnus Prime" is a redeco of ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], and he transforms from robot to truck to giant base. Oddly enough, the Hasbro version names Ginrai as the small Titan Master partner. In comparison to ''Legends'' Ginrai's deco, Magnus Prime features a blue crotch and truck windows, and his Autobot insignias on his truck kibble are enlarged and moved to the center, and his guns are entirely painted in one color with the handles being unpainted. His Titan Master's head and legs are now blue. As a redeco of the said retool, Magnus Prime can combine with [[Godbomber#Legends|Godbomber]]. Although the stock renders and promotional photos shows that the upper section of the waist is painted red, the final product does not possess any.
| |
| | |
| :At least some units are missing a peg that stabilizes his combination with Godbomber's leg mode parts.

| ==Who is Magnus Prime now?==
| |
| So, just who is Magnus Prime, anyway? There are a lot of competing facts, none of them conclusive:
| |
| *The Siege on Cybertron box set calls him a City Commander. That, combined with his name, implies that he might be a new incarnation of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]].
| |
| **But complicating this, there's also an [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Titans_Return|Ultra Magnus Titan Master]] figure created to be shipped in the same Strength/Intelligence/Fireblast/Speed matrix as the rest of the Siege on Cybertron toys.
| |
| *On the other hand, Hasbro's [[John Warden]] stated [https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-titans-return-product-reveals-news-updates-rumors-leaks-and-more--p1911385.php#p1911385 in an interview] that the figure was intended to be [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and further suggested that the figure belonged with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus Primes]] or maybe [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|''Armada'' Primes]]. Oy vey!
| |
| *His Titan Master partner, meanwhile, is Ginrai, which suggests that Magnus Prime himself can't really be Ginrai.
| |
| **Unless he's the [[Transtector]] [[Ginrai (robot)|come to life]]? Or maybe it's just the name of the mindless Transtector before it comes alive? But Hasbro doesn't generally use Transtectors in their fiction. Who knows!
| |
| Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that we don't really know who Magnus Prime is, so we're plopping him here on his own page. Feel free to go nuts in your own [[Personal canon|head canon]] because there's no definitive answer on this question... ''yet''.
