Personality/History: It is not clear, but Ultra Magnus may have formerly been Diode, the best friend of Orion Pax, the robot who would become Optimus Prime. Whatever his origins, Ultra Magnus made his first appearance in 2005, amidst the chaos of the Autobot City Massacre. Magnus had been appointed commander of Autobot Ciy by Prime, who was at the time on the first moon
of Cybertron, preparing a strike on Cybertron itself to free it from Decepticon control. When Decepticons attacked and boarded the shuttle which was headed for Earth from Moonbase One, they layed seige to Autobot City. When Prime arrived on earth and engaged Megatron in battle, both leaders inflicted mortal damage to eachother. However, Optimus Prime succumbed
to his wounds first, and passed the Autobot Matrix of Leadership on to Ultra Magnus, making him the Autobots' new leader.
Ultra Magnus transforms into the likeness of an Earthen vehicle transporter, capable of carrying his fellow Autobot cars. In both robot and transporter mode, he is equipped with shoulder-mounted twin missile launchers, and in robot mode, an additional standard blaster. Ultra Magnus is more comfortable when taking orders, rather than giving them out. He likes his position as a soldier, and does not enjoy the prospect of leading. His name means "Beyond
Greatness" in Latin.
WEAKNESS: Ultra Magnus is uncomfortable as a leader, and as such is an inneffective one in times of stress. He may not use his rank skill to aid other Autobot dice rolls in combat. CLAN WEAKNESS: Compassion. All autobots must willingly risk their own health and life in order to help others, even Decepticons if they ask for it.
