After seeing the listing where people could buy a Magnificus toy early, I am surprised it took this long to get a video review and a better look at the figure. But now we have that, from Chefatron, along with screencaps of the video. We see Magnificus (the name is a cross between Maximus and Magnify) in his robot mode, microscope mode and mobile laboratory mode. He cannot make a tank mode like the original Microman Microscope toy which this toy is referencing. We still do not know if this will be released as an exclusive in the Legacy line or a Generations Selects release.

Can't wait to get my hands on this figure, having more (nicer) shots of it really helps.

Same here. I’m glad PrimevsPrime knows how to properly show off a figure as opposed to pictures that are too zoomed in to properly see the thing as a whole.

Crud, that’s a typo. Meant to say Chefatron.

Yeah, wouldn’t surprise me if they posted a review within the next week or two.

So, is this for sure a SG release and not Selects? I just thought that it was leaked that Soundwave would be the 5th and final entry is SGII...seems awful early to start revealing wave 3 already, unless the speculation about Soundwave was mistaken.

No one is sure at this point.

Both leaks and the comic solicitations say that Soundwave is the 5th SG figure, yes. This should be released as Magnificus, NOT SG Perceptor, hence the

on his torso and scope. Under what release method/line, who knows, I'm betting on Selects or Buzzworthy.

I'm leaning towards buzzworthy at the moment just because of how quiet the Selects line has been. Wonder if we'll get an explanation at pulsecon in a few weeks time. Could this be the pulsecon Exclusive? :-?

Alpha Trion / Orion Pax is the Pulsecon exclusive I thought.

I feel like I'm going to be buying this figure.

I really like this mold as Perceptor, and it looks even better in Magnificus colors.
