This repaint is still Ultra Magnus right? He's not a new character?

It is still Ultra Magnus, the title of the news is deceptive.
With a new head or at least a repainted head this would rock, but the blue Magnus head is ruining it overall.

Yikes. Not that I was picking this repaint up anyway, the original is superior in colors, but WTF is up with the big blue cannon hinge, his hips, and his head? Still blue?? WHY? Kills the paintjob attempt.

Yeah, I was all about this until I saw the blue head, it just looks bad. Maybe it will be a running change, but I've got to pass on it now. Plus, side by side, the orignial version looks better, IMO.

It's that odd line between repainting as a new character and repainting as the same character, isn't it? I quite like this one.

I feel the same way. The blue ruins it, especially the blue head, which looks like someone stuck a head from a different toy on there. What were they thinking?

I know, it looks almost like...Ultra Magnus wearing desert camo. Weird.

Agreed, I like the inclusion of blue to contrast everything else; I think if the blue had been a little more prevalent, it'd seem less like a last-second addition. I'm gonna wait for this one to go on clearance, nobody seems to want him. Where are the pictures of stealth megatron?

I generally get most repaints but I have to say that is one ugly figure that I wouldn't spend another $40 on.

I have no idea what goes through their heads at Hasbro
They could of repainted Classics Onslaught and in Roadbusters colors and just smacked an autobot logo on him but no they had to do it to an animated character

at first i hated the animated line and was planning on using that money for the universe line but i passed on universe and came to love the animated, but this one has me pulling out my hair in disgust.hasbro you take us all for idiots with these non thought out re-paints..seriously if your gonna rename it atleast make an attempt to atleast give the repaints new molded heads we know you can do it universe leo prime got a new head..if its still magnus (by far on of my fav animated) dont name it road buster. or better yet make a "real" roadbuster.. i truely thought the animated line was gonna stay true to the show and not do re-paints, but again i am wrong in trusting hasbro..they talk about well we cant do this or that cause its not cost effective. they honestly cant tell me they are making money on these turd of a so called re-paint..i dont mind them just give em new heads atleast..like universe skattershot and overload more like overkill....please hasbro come to terms that its us 20 - 35 year olds that buy up majority of the toys....to hell with the kiddies not giving a damn...we care we make the money to spend on them....sorry for the long post had to vent and one more thing thats 40 bucks that gonna stay in my pocket.....

Hasbro really should have made a second leader class for the Decepticons, most likely Lugnut since he's one of the few that could pull off a leader class.
The Autobots get all the good ones.

Green and Orange. My favorite colors. Just wish his head wasn't the same color as his regular toy. The blue head with a huge green and orange body doesn't look good.
