[edit]

Beast Wars: Uprising
[edit]Ultra Mammoth fought Killer Punch during one of the Culls, and was blindsided by an attack from his opponent's machete. This battle was famous enough that the Administrator later included the machete in his trophy collection. Broken Windshields

Toys
[edit]Timelines
[edit]
- Ultra Mammoth (Ultra, 2012)
- TFSS1 number: 6
- Accessories: "Blue Bolts" cannon, two "Energy Bolts", two "Thunderstrike missiles", "Reconfiguration Matrix"
The Ultra Mammoth version of Ultra Magnus doubles as the separate character Ultra Mammoth.
- Ultra Mammoth is a light blue and white redeco of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy, and is a shellformer, as practically all of his beast mode components are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. He technically has a beast "attack mode", in which his large cannon is folded out. His main body has a similar color scheme to Ultra Magnus's "Super Mode" (though with more white), and his head has the color scheme of regular Magnus.
- In robot mode, Ultra Mammoth is absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks. First and foremost, the spring-loaded Blue Bolts cannon, formed out of the beast's head, back, and tail, can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via 5 mm post and can be stored on his back, though doing so may cause some stability problems owing to its weight. Second, his shoulders can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods. Third, he has flip-out tonfa melee weapons in his forearms. Fourth, the two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his anchor-shaped projectiles, which can be loosely held in his hands. Last, but certainly not least, his chest panel flips down, revealing a removable Matrix toy accessory in vacuum-metalized sliver with a transparent blue center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5mm fist holes.
- The anchor-shaped Thunderstrike missiles have been retooled since the previous two uses of this mold, presumably for safety reasons, and as a result can no longer be kept loaded in beast mode. The instructions refer to the space in his chest as a "Dead Matrix annex," but the Matrix within is referred to as the Reconfiguration Matrix in packaging and was ultimately depicted by tie-in fiction as the Origin Matrix.
- Ultra Mammoth is one of the first six Transformers Collectors' Club exclusive figures to be offered via the Figure Subscription Service in 2013.

Notes
[edit]- A proposed BotCon concept by Fun Publications was a redeco of Transmetal Rattrap into a beast form of Generation 1 Rodimus Prime, named "Rodimouse", to match Optimus Primal and Ultra Mammoth as being Beast Wars Maximal archetypes of Autobot leaders Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, respectively.[1]
