I think I'm doing that thing again where I spoil a toy for myself by going over it and seeing really minor and easy improvements that could have been made to it.
Like I'm looking over Ultra Magnus here, and on top of thinking how much having more range on the head and wrist swivels would improve him, I'm just looking him further and thinking the knees could have had over 90 degrees of articulation if they were just molded slightly differently. There's really no reason for it not having a hip rotation. An added extra hinge in the shoulders could have given him backwards shoulder articulation (like how MP10's shoulders work) to go with how the transformation hinge on the shoulders can be used for forward articulation. I also tried it out of curiosity, and there's pretty much exactly enough room for MP10's matrix of leadership to fit in the chest compartment, and a very slight change in the mold could have accommodated it.
It's really just such a shame that toys can't do everything...
