Personality
Ultra Magnus is a stern, yet fair leader. He prefers to follow exact protocol as he even expected the Autobots to call him "Sir." In spite being in charge of the Wreckers, he does not approve of their loose cannon lifestyle which brings him with odds with Wheeljack. Since being on Team Prime, Ultra Magnus is less "by the book" and has adapted more to Team Prime's command style. After battling Predaking, Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack now have respect for each other. Wheeljack would often look out for Magnus and Magnus would do the same in return. Team Prime now respects Ultra Magnus and treats him like a family member.
In Predacons Rising, Ultra Magnus referred Smokescreen as "kid" than Soldier, which indicates that he can be warm-hearted. His traits are passed on by Strongarm. In the Robots in Disguise comics, he notes that he considers Bumblebee to be a friend, something that the younger Autobot admitted was pretty significant for the taciturn commander.
Powers and Abilities
Ultra Magnus is incredibly tough as he was able knock out Starscream with a single punch and lift the Forge of Solus Prime with ease. He also managed to easily dispatch Shockwave, even with just one hand. Megatron, however is out of Ultra Magnus' range, having been unable to beat him one on one. He is also a skilled pilot being able to fly his ship and the Nemesis. It has been shown that he is a brilliant military tactician as he planned a sly assault on Darkmount, which succeeded in getting rid of Predaking before it attacked. His plan failed as he had underestimated the size of the Decepticon army and the fury with which it would fight.
Though Magnus has been able to beat almost every Decepticon he has come across, he seems to struggle with Predacons as Predaking crushed his hand and Skylynx severely crippled his body and left him in a hospital bed.
He is capable of hand-to-hand combat and is capable of performing various forms of battle tactics.
Trivia
- Ultra Magnus's officious personality is inspired by his IDW counterpart, and his leadership of the Wreckers by his long association with the group.
- Ultra Magnus wielding the Forge of Solus Prime, a hammer, is inspired by the Magnus Hammer from his Animated counterpart, as is his leadership of the Elite Guard.
