Yah! Another Ultra Magnus.

Sigh. When are we going to get reissues of more classics like Mirage or Sunstreaker?

[Ben-Ohki]

Can somebody clarify this for me? Was Laser Prime the first G2 design? I know there were a few additional "Optimus Primes" during what I call the "dark age" (mostly since at the time I had just about outgrown Transformers in general plus they began to suck anyway), but I have no idea what order they came in, etc.... Was there actually a G2 Ultra Magnus during this time?

Ben, you're right in that there were several G2 Primes. The first one released in this line was actually the original Prime toy but with some color changes to the trailer as well as the addition of a sound/light box that attached to the front of the trailer and a missle launcher.

Then came the Laser Prime (which recently was also reissued along with this UM). Recolored into the awesome Black Convoy/Scourge of RID. There was never an Ultra Magnus recolor of this mold...Until now.

Then came Hero Prime (which had no trailer but an accordion air-powered missile) and Optimus Prime in Go-Bot form.

As far as I know, there never was a G2 UM.

I think in 2 o 3 months we will see this at a low price...
