Optimus was only saved by the intervention of Side Burn, Prowl, and X-Brawn, who rescued their commander and transported him to a remote island to recuperate. Optimus refused to fight his brother, however, not that that stopped Ultra Magnus from blasting him with his powerful weapon, Blue Bolts. Ultra Magnus Ultra Magnus's profile in Club magazine #8 He then challenged Optimus Prime for possession of the Matrix and command of the Autobots. There, he first encountered the Decepticons and single-handedly defeated them all, even when they combined into Ruination, becoming the first being to beat Ruination without any sort of help. Some time later, he tracked down his brother to the planet he was currently charged with protecting, Earth. "Do you forgive me for getting the Matrix, Ultra Magnus?" "Nope." This is either because Magnus can't deny his (somewhat buried and tarnished) noble Autobot nature, or because if Prime gets blown to tiny bits, the Matrix could get blown to tiny bits with him. He apparently doesn't understand the real criteria for Matrix-getting.ĭespite his hatred of Optimus, they combine into the colossal Omega Prime, one of the most powerful Autobots in the Multiverse, with alarming frequency when things get hairy. only to come back with a major chip on his shoulder and a need to wallop his brother to prove that he deserves the Matrix. This really, really didn't sit well with Magnus, and he vanished for years. After all, they gave the Matrix to his brother, Optimus Prime, and not him. Except he's not especially keen on helping the Autobots out anymore. Immensely powerful, he'd be one of the Autobots' greatest warriors, armed with multiple weapons which according to X-Brawn could take out an army. THIS Ultra Magnus, on the other hand, is not a happy camper. Usually, Ultra Magnus is a well-respected Autobot who is a great friend/ mentor to Optimus Prime. From angsty badass to angsty deus ex machina to angsty Super Mushroom.
