In the Japanese version, God Magnus was a more complicated character. Each Autobot leader, including him, had their own Matrix, he wanted to steal Fire Convoy's (Optimus Prime to the English audience) because he was power hungry. In spite of that, we still later see that he's got a nice side to him.
That's probably because it only had one season. Before it was the original timeline with 4 Seasons of G1, 3 Seasons of Beast Wars, and 2 Seasons of Beast Machines, and them after it is the 3 Season Armada/Energon/Cybertron trilogy, so it's not exactly a largely publicized Universe. Though, the Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus from this show do show up in the Balancing Act comics to help Vector Prime.

Honestly I don't think that's a bad thing. It wasn't the best TF series they've ever done.

I love Magnus's role in RID, too bad this series seems to be the forgotten one as far as TF goes.

Car Robots is considered out of continuity. It doesn't fit too well with the Japanese series either.

I read that in recent years, RID has been retconned into G1 continuity. It's supposed to take place before the movie.
