Hasbro’s “Transformers City Commander” for $17.99 in 1986

Fans of the Transformers Ultra Magnus* character won’t want to miss this 1986 newspaper advertisement from the Des Moines Register (November 19). We’ve seen other Ultra Magnus newspaper ads (search battlegrip.com) but none as clean and incredible as this design. The toy certainly looks as stiff and wooden as I remember it, though I would have liked to have seen the inner robot on display in the ad artwork.
