Generation 1

- Japanese ID number: C-69
- Accessories: Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, trailer connector/waist plate, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles
- "Powered Convoy" was the name of the original Diaclone toy that was later recolored to become Ultra Magnus for the Transformers toyline. The color scheme of that toy later saw use as "Yokokuhen Version" exclusive version of the Magnus toy. In the early stages of the development of The Transformers: The Movie, promotional footage for the movie was released that depicted Ultra Magnus in the black, red and dark blue color scheme of the original Diaclone Powered Convoy toy. As the second of two exclusive redecos released in the wake of the 2000 reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy, the "Movie Preview Version" (予告編バージョン Yokokuhen Bājon)[1] of Ultra Magnus paid homage to this early appearance. He is just a redeco of the Magnus figure, however, and so despite his resemblance to the Diaclone figure, he still lacks that toy's exclusive features, like Powered Buggy, wheels in his chestplate, and a Diaclone pilot.
- Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus was available exclusively at Toy Festival 2001, held on February 26, 2001 in Tokyo, Japan, limited to 1,500 pieces.
Notes
- IDW's Generation 1 continuity would later introduce the character of Delta Magnus, who was similarly based on the original "Powered Convoy" toy.
References
- ↑ "Yokukuhen" can also mean "Movie Trailer"; the terms appear to be interchangeable in Japanese.
