TAKARA Transformers LG14 Ultra Magnus. (50++pics) (with translated manga explained why UM isn't dead)

This Takara version of Ultra Magnus is a bit different stories from the Hasbro version. (I translated the LG14 manga for reference)
It's stories straightly continue from G1 stories, after he was killed by assassin, Sixshots, pass decades, Autobots decide to revive Magnus to help them defend the Earth.


LG14 Ultra Magnus.

Another box of LG14, pick it up for my friend, hopes he is happily ever after, lol!

Manga of how LG14 Ultra Magnus was revive.
(click image to enlarge)

Huge build up, man, Ultra Magnus has been working hard on his muscles.

Although this is huge & bulky like G1, but I still like it.

That pillar on the shoulder is quite tall.

Back. He got a backpack with four wheels.

Hopes those holes on backpack and thighs can be fill.

360 degrees GIF.

Head height is around 8.4 inches.

Close up on face.

There is not much articulations on neck, can only turn this much. Can't they use ball joint on the neck? I know there is Alpha Trion on the way, but ball joint have more articulations.

Can turn over 90 degrees hinge joint. But wrist can't swivel, it is actually still have space to add that...

Articulations of the legs. There is no ball joint on ankle, just only can move front and backward.

The primary gun looks like the old G1 version.

The second gun.

All weapon parts combine to form the hammer.

Cybertronian hammer of thunder god?

Or use it like combined super cannon?

The weapons can plug on the weapon slot on both legs.

Alt mode, a heavy vehicles trailer.

Front.

Side.

A highly visible huge feet at the back of trailer.

It has a lots of hollow area, but still looks good.

I like the design of the truck, looks familiar, like Hotwheels maybe...?

Unfortunately the truck can't separate from the trailer. (need to unscrew some of the parts to do so)

Loading fellow Autobots to used car dealer....

Chromia can't fit in the trailer.

Springer isn't the right size to put on Ultra Magnus.

Henkei/Classic also fitted to put on Ultra Magnus.

Chest plate can open...

...and Lil Alpha Trion will show up!!

If flip away Magnus head, you will see Alpha Trion controlling him.

Alpha Trion can sit in the chest of Ultra Magnus.

With a nice & tight cockpit to pilot Magnus.

Alpha Trion vehicle mode.

Some kind of futuristic vehicle of the future.

It is too small to put on the trailer.

 Alpha Trion's head is visible under the rear bumper.

Luckily I get Takara version LG14, the color scheme looks way more better.

The back parts looks just like cape for Alpha Trion.

The articulations is quite ok for this small figure.

Let's go, Magnus! Lets go save the Earth again!

Comparing to Henkei Optimus Prime.

Compare to Combiner War Optimus Prime.

Ultra Prime is way taller than Ultra Magnus. (of course!)

Size compare with Springer.

With Starsaber. (Starsaber is huge...)

City commander with Ultra Magnus.



Both almost same size when in alt mode.

Different design, but both a good toy.

Sixshots(Hexatron) comparing.

"Isn't you're dead decades ago?" Sixshots.
"I am back, I am here to destroy you!" Magnus.

"Wait! Stop! I want to explain..." Sixshots.
Ultra Magnus pushing his hammer to him.

"Urgh!" Sixshots.
At last, Ultra Magnus killed Sixshots...?

I don't think so......
