Later, a smaller Spy Changer figure of Magnus, unique to Robots in Disguise, was released Ultra Magnus transforms into a car carrier capable of transporting other Autobots such as the Autobot Brothers. In addition to his remarkable strength and fighting ability, he is armed with the "Blue Bolts" - a variable-configuration weapon of immense destructive power. His weapon can either fire as a rapid-fire gun or as a high-powered laser. His back-mounted jetpack allows for periods of the short flight.
