For eons, Ultra Mammoth had been known as Ultra Magnus - director of Autobot covert operations and, most recently, commander of the star ship Graviton. However, what began with a distress signal sent from Ironworks on Earth led to an event that changed everything. And ended everything. As Ultra Magnus and his crew neared the glowing blue orb many Cybertronians had come to know as home, the fabric of space tore before them and cast the vessel through a temporal wormhole. The momentum from the distortion´s pull heaved the Graviton towards a planet. It was Earth, but not the Earth with which they were familiar. Having to abandon their vehicle alt modes for forms that could both function in the hostile new environment as well as withstand the strange energy fields that seemed to affect their robot modes, Ultra Magnus and his crew were no longer the Autobots they once were. Through contact with a strange visitor, he and his crew are now known as the Maximals, and roar into battle!
Please be aware that this is not a review, as I have never had this figure in hand. The pictures were provided by my good buddy James aka Caked-Up and I have reviewed other versions of this toy, which are are linked below for reference.
Remarks: Ultra Mammoth is a repaint of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy, whom I have already reviewed in the form of Encore Big Convoy and Universe Razorclaw. The only changes made to the figure are the paintjob, which now sports the familiar colors of G1 Ultra Magnus (just in case the new name wasn't clue enough). And that's pretty much it. Still a great figure, though the epitome of a shell-former, and well worth getting at least one version of.
