Ultra Magnus in vehicle mode stacked with cars really does something for me. He's basically a combiner!

At least he isn't claiming that Arcee is actually Hardhead.

I like that Ultra Magnus' chest opens.

I am puzzled why the cab can detach in vehicle mode but doesn't turn into a robot, when the trailer hitch doesn't work for Optimus, etc. Why?

Can the cab detach?

Yes.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that like CW Magnus, it's not supposed to detach, but still can if you make it.

PrimeVsPrime's review shows that it detaches. I presumed it was a feature?
Phil can make that appear.

The demo that the cab can split from the trailer is 16 mins in. He just lifts it off.

What I'm not coping well with this afternoon is that with these newer figures, Huffer is now a bulkier/taller figure than Brawn. I realise on the Sunbow scale chart, Huffer and Brawn are the same size and a little taller than the other four, but this doesn't sit right with me. Kingdom Huffer doesn't feel like he fits with Brawn/Cliffjumper/Bumblebee. So I've been doing some posing. And afterwards I did some intensive comparisoning with the Mini-Autobots we have. And I know what you mean, Pins- Huffer does seem a bit out of aesthetic with Brawn, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. But, I've concluded that it's not too significant a difference and personally I'm ok with it. The offenders here are Cosmos and Beachcomber! Now I adore both figures, but put them with the members of the Six we have -and Warpath, who very much matches Huffer and the others- and they really do seem like they're from a different toy-line (which they obviously are but one would hope figures released this close together that are apparently meant to go together would be more similar). Cosmos and Beachcomber look like a third party company has enlarged the original mold. Just slightly, but they do. They're... smoother somehow. Yet they're superb figures! Brilliant updates of the originals, with tremendous personality. So it's not a deal breaker, and they go with Warpath adequately enough, but... it's a thing that there is. Brawn though is a high of 'updated minis'. With no shoulder injury in sight. ONWARDS, THE MINI-AUTOBOT ROAD! Edit: The Five did look and feel different from The Six back in the day, so maybe it'll be ok when the teams are complete. Maybe The Five should feel a bit different from The Six.

The five are definitely in an odd position. I need to pick up a Beachcomber now he's come down a bit but there's no doubt they're not being designed as companions to the six. They're a bigger bunch of bots.

They're grizzled veterans of four million years' worth of war on Cybertron, whilst the six took a nice nap - of course they're going to be a little beefier.

Maggie came today, and be warned, his horns come detached and in his accessory bag, and are very losable if you're not careful.

Being doing a little pre work on the 2023 end of year stuff this week and it's a good job I did cos some of it has needed some thought.
Studio Series 86 has had one toy in each of the classes above core this year, so they'll need to go in with the main Studio Series, which helps because it makes the choice of Ultra Magnus' opposition a bit easier. Thinking that I might throw in a couple of bonuses for Commander and Titan classes outside of the line division as both classes did have multiple releases albeit in different lines
