Transformers News: Ultra Magnus Time

Matrix of Leadership, why do you hate me?

Okay, so he failed to deliver in crunch time when Galvatron came a-calling, but Ultra Magnus is still cool with me. After all, he was voiced by none other than Robert Stack AKA Elliott Ness and the Creepy Voice of Unsolved Mysteries. TFormers.com put up a bunch of pictures of the Classics version of Ultra Magnus if you want to check him out.

For a simple repaint of the Optimus Prime Classics version that’s already been released, there’s just something about this Ultra Magnus that makes me like him. I think it’s that when I see a toy with the name of Optimus Prime, I get my critical pants on. Optimus Prime is not a name that shouldn’t be slapped on any old toy truck. On the other hand, if it’s a decent looking truck in the Ultra Magnus colors my expectations are lowered. Way to go Ultra Magnus, you’ve lowered the bar since 1986 and it works for you. Keep on Truck’n.

    I do believe that picture also represents one of the two times swear words were used in the Transformers movie.

    Yes, he says damn it. Spike says shit. The only reason I know this is I reviewed the film recently and I watched it about 8,000 times. What’s odd that I had remembered it the other way around.
