Ugh. I was kinda afraid of this. There is no Lost Light A. It's an arbitrary designation that I made up solely for clarity, and clearly need to get rid of. |

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.

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.
