Part of the third wave of Deluxe-class figures from the tie-in 'Fall of Cybertron' subline, Ultra Magnus is effectively a re-release of the wave one Optimus Prime figure, only with a new color scheme, a new head mold and an additional sword weapon. While I generally like how the Optimus Prime figure looks, I owned the version of him from the War for Cybertron toyline a couple years ago and didn't feel like doubling up. However I feel that the Ultra Magnus version of this mold looks a lot nicer and has a very striking coloration. As well, the additional sword weapon looks great with him and can combine with the gun to create an even larger sword (Not pictured, though it can be seen HERE) which can be wielded in a variety of ways due to this figures articulation, which is pretty standard for most modern Transformers (Shoulders, biceps, wrists, head, waist, legs, knees and feet).
This mold also features a much simpler transformation scheme than the War for Cybertron Optimus Prime mold (Which is not hard, since many Transformers fans will agree that WfC Optimus has one of the most difficult transformations ever seen on a Deluxe-class figure), which transforms him into a very neat looking alien truck.Both the gun and the sword can be displayed on the truck, though pegging the sword in too tightly will prevent the wheels from turning. I really cannot help but recommend him as he is a dead solid figure, though care should be taken with the sword, as at least one piece of it is rather small and is a choking hazard to small children.
