How many people like me, never know FOC Ultra Magnus's sword and gun can combine?

I didn't know until today. When I played with the sword, and found it can break into 2 pieces, and seems can form a bigger sword, but not secure.

Of course I was very excited, and announced this on a Chinese TF forums... And people laughed at me for not knowing this, which is more than 1 years old news.

It turns out FOC Ultra Magnus's sword and gun can combine into a bigger, cooler sword.
It was mentioned in the Takara version's instruction, but not on Hasbro's instruction.

This is the Hasbro's instruction online version,

Thank you again, Hasbro.


Below are the pictures, from these 2 threads.

I didn't care for that figure until I found out about the sword/gun gimmick and went off to buy it during a sale :P

I didn't care for the figure or the sword... until it was on a sale then I picked it up, thinking it will be a garbage and I was probably throwing my money away.
But actually turns out better than I thought.

I super glued the sword together because I didn't know about this and thought it was dumb it came apart so easily.

The only reason I knew about this was because I watch reviews.

What! I knew the sword came apart but never realized it combined with the gun! Now I need my new house to be built faster so I can unpack him.

Re: How many people like me, never know FOC Ultra Magnus's sword and gun can combine?

I had no idea that there was an official combined mode. I thought that the way the sword comes apart was weird, but that there was another yet-to-be-released figure that it would combine with.

Hasbro's instructions (while getting better in recent years) have been C-R-A-P for as long as I can remember (i.e. 1984).

This is why I make sure to watch video reviews from at least 3 different people for every figure I pick up. It's insane what the instructions miss or just get completely wrong.

That is a pretty cool weapon feature too. I like combining weapons.
