 Hey guys, welcome back to coming in. TV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. I'm Shannon and today on the show, we're taking a look at Transformers Siege war for Cybertron. This is Ultra Magnus. Let's go ahead and move him out of the way real quick and we'll take a look at the box. I did pick this up at Target. It was the only one on the shelf. They had shockwave there as well as at Walmart. I've seen them all over the place. This is the first time I've seen Ultra Magnus. So I really debated long and hard on if I wanted to spend the $50 on him. Kind of a tight wad that way. Ultimately it came down to either getting him or getting the $10 Scott Howard Funko Pop from Teen Wolf. Ultimately I chose Ultra Magnus as you can see here. This is a leader class transformer. There he is on the side. Standard side there. Autobot top and the back. There's his combat ready mode. His truck and trailer mode. Standard mode and regular truck mode. I have to say I actually prefer the white mode over the combat ready mode but that's just my personal preference and I did check he is pretty much the same sculpt as Optimus Prime. I'll get Optimus Prime down real quick. Show you guys once we get to that point for now. I'll set him off to the side. His transformation is actually really simple. The trailer is a little difficult because the instructions that come with it and yes it is oversized instructions they don't quite make it clear on a couple parts what goes to what but once you figure it out it's really simple. So for right now we're going to go ahead and take the guns off. We're going to transform him into his standard mode while at the same time transforming his trailer and then after that we'll put the two together. Very simple transformation like I said. So first things first you want to take his shoulder pads off and what you'll do with these they'll rotate these clips that are on the side down right and then see this peg here it'll slide in right there just like that so look something like that we'll set that off to the side we'll take his wrist guards off and they clip in on that side right there and they actually peg in so you want to remove them like this there's a hole there and a peg right there now the way this is angled you want when you go to put it back on you want this side down otherwise it the peg won't fit in that space if it's any other way so we'll go ahead and push that back up same with this side and we're going to set them together just like that for right now okay next we'll take the front off which it unpegs there's a peg right there that goes into that slot right there on both sides it does not peg in at the top okay but it does attach on the back be careful with the back because you could easily break it once you take this off you fold this part down you'll the spread piece here it's difficult so you get your finger in there and pull it so what you're going to want to do let's come at it from this side push down and snap it and you're going to flip this upside down just like this and then you're going to set that off to the side once that's done you're going to take his boots off all right let's go ahead and angle this down and you're going to open up his boots they just unclip from the back fold outward just like that okay and that will go on the left hand side same way with this one unfold it that'll go on the right hand side now you'll take this piece right you're going to want to make sure ultramagnus's head is down and you are going to want to slide this in this part is a little difficult because it always wants to come back out you're going to slide that in there's a slot right there and right there slide it in just like that and you'll hold it while you do the same thing to this side and it is slightly difficult hold tight okay once you get it you're going to want to push it together now one thing I forgot to do you'll take these and you notice how I had them just like this right sorry about that guys I should have done this right before but there's pegs right here you just peg them on there just like that and it may seem that because ultramagnus's head is there you'd want to peg them the other way but because of the sides it won't quite fit the other way okay and that clips there's peg right there that clips right in there and that's on both sides okay then you take this and see these clips here those they slide in and these this one is a little slightly difficult to do there's that all right now the trailer is done so we'll move that off to the side and we're going to take ultramagnus's crotch piece flip it down and rotate it then flip it back up so it's all white okay we're gonna take his body push it forward like that see it push it forward and then we bring this part up like that okay then we detach his arms pull them back open his chest how pops his head close it back up close his arms and push it back into place then his heels fold out and you have standard form ultramagnus now as I said he is pretty much an exact almost exact or partial sculpt of Optimus Prime you can see where they on some of the parts where Optimus would transform they've got screws in those pieces so it's held together so it can't transform like but like stuff like the thighs here are new sculpt the chest piece is same base sculpt as you can see they just added this part and put the window over it the head is identical the shoulders are identical save for these little stacks here but everything else seems to be pretty much the same or close to it all right so let's go ahead and move Optimus out of way and now we're going to transform him into his truck mode so what you're gonna want to do open his arms bring his torso forward open up the chest close his head back up close that bring his wheels down so it looks like he's got a ghetto booty ghetto booty push that back okay now put his hands like this and then rotate him just like that so that the thumb thumbs are facing in towards each other okay you'll bring them back and see there's this clip here that pegs in right like that just like that okay then you'll rotate him all the way around tight you may have to bring this forward first and then clip the arms into place sorry guys my face is sliding around on me all right so once that's done you'll clip in the heels like that and you'll bring his legs back and they peg together just like that there you have ultramagnus in truck mode very simple transformation now comes the slightly difficult part of attaching the trailer so this clip here this part is gonna slide onto the clip this this is kind of difficult i'm not gonna lie because things sorry guys things do not want to stay in place while you're doing it see what i mean so you'll squeeze this part hold it together while you squeeze this part hold it together and then clips together like that all right then this part comes down just like that if i can get it to stay in place see they really should have did a better design for this and then these clips here will peg in right there hold i do hold tight guys okay i'm back all right so i got this side pegged in there's these clips right here they'll clip in to these two holes here see this this part is very poorly designed very poorly designed i do not like the way they designed it at all and see it it likes to come apart on you as you're trying to transform it now once it's transformed it'll stay but it's just getting it to that point that's a pain in the ass so there he is in truck and trailer mode now you have a number of options you can do you can put his gun here or you can put it back here um why is that not going to stay down oh well and you can put these guns there's a peg on the side here either here or here okay or you can even put them on the side of the semi if you have them you cannot put on the side of the semi so i'm gonna put them there and i'm gonna put these rockets i'm gonna attach them to his gun there you have ultramagnus in truck and trailer battle mode so it's not a difficult transformation it's the way they designed it that really makes uh transforming the trailer really takes some effort everything has to be lined up perfectly and it tends to come apart on you as you're transforming it which is a huge huge problem and see this part normally i get i can get this locked latch down but it is not wanting to do that today there we go still not so that's the best way i can get it for right now normally i do get it all pretty smooth and this leveled out everything i'm not sure what's going on uh it's a little bit more difficult to get it done on camera um but yeah there's ultramagnus in his truck and trailer battle mode uh i really like this figure and to transform him back is very very simple all right take the guns off open up the trailer raise that up disconnect it now you bring this his legs up rotate his body around okay his arms open just like that and now you can do one of two things at this point you can either open this up and bring his head up and then raise this part up here or you can just go ahead push that back just like that and start putting him in his battle mode or combat ready mode so you'll just do everything in reverse disconnect which is a lot easier okay his arms this one goes on this side pegs in closes this one goes on this side see the peg here open this up rotate it around close it now something i like is i like a combination of the two modes okay we're going to fold this back up and this will go in the back now you take this and this is somewhat difficult fold it up so you fold this part here just like that then you fold that bring it together and then this part pegs in here okay same way with this i close that fold there see how i did that fold pegs in there's his boots and i like him kind of like this i think that looks better and to show you how he stands up to optimus prime just like that about a head size taller not much so now if you do want to go ahead and put this chest piece on or other head on you'll fold this part back you'll fold this up and it's going to go like this okay going open the arms close it close the arms and then you're going to want to peg the front in first so see those pegs there they go just like that peg in right where i showed you they did earlier come down clip back in just like that and there's ultramagnus in his combat writing mode now standing up next to optimus prime he's a good size good size taller now and you can do his guns any way you want but i kind of like having the rockets on his legs pegged in right there like that okay his gun in his hands and then these guns you can either put them in his hands or peg him on i like to peg him on peg him on to his shoulders but really it's your own preference how you want it done there he is in combat ready mode and he is a beast he's ready for war so again standing him up next to optimus prime as you can see he is he's good size taller but they still use most of optimus's sculpt to make ultramagnus so anyway i hope i know this video ran a little long that's because there's just so much too ultramagnus uh different transformations you can do with him uh and the trailer it's an easy transformation but it's a real pain in the ass because things like to keep coming undone as you're transforming it and then connecting it to the truck but anyway i hope you enjoyed this video if you did give it a like make sure you subscribe for more videos we've got tons of toy reviews on the channel we're gonna
