Following the death of the admired Autobot warrior Ultra Magnus in the early days of the war, Chief Justice Tyrest designed the Magnus Armor to keep his legend alive. It is an integrated suit of armor worn by a series of Autobots, each load bearers with sparks that allow their bodies to handle extensive physical augmentation, secretly chosen by Tyrest to take on the role of Ultra Magnus and serve as the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.
The armor is equipped with a recall switch so that upon the death of one Ultra Magnus, it would be returned to Tyrest so he could find a new enforcer capable and worthy of donning it.
Known bearers:
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Disappointed with Minimus Ambus's performance as Ultra Magnus, Tyrest stripped him of the Magnus Armor, intending to retire the role in favour of his new enforcer, Star Saber. The Divided Self
 Spoiler warning: Plot details for The Sound of Breaking Glass follow. |
Following Tyrest's defeat, Minimus retrieved the armor and back aboard the Lost Light, Ratchet helped him put it back on. The Sound of Breaking Glass
Notes
- The Magnus Armor is a nod to the original Ultra Magnus toy where, due to its origin as a Diaclone "Powered Convoy", its trailer combined with the albino Primealike cab to form a "super robot".
- Ultra Magnus's outer form was also shown to be a suit of armor in Dreamwave's "Revelation", though there the inner robot resembled his original toy and represented the same character.
- In Megatron Origin #3 a similar white robot was seen alongside Orion Pax at Bumper and Fastback's funeral, suggesting that something like the Magnus Armor may have existed in IDW continuity before the original Ultra Magnus's death; the same series also saw Sentinel Prime power himself up with the Apex Armor.
