"*Undisciplined thinking can make even the simplest task impossible.*" - Ultra Magnus

## Profile

### Identity

Rider's true identity is **Ultra Magnus**, Autobot City Commander, Commanding officer of the Wreckers, and Optimus Prime's chief lieutenant and brother in arms.

### Appearance

Ultra Magnus' inner robotUltra Magnus' Truck Mode
### Personality

Ultra Magnus is a firmly stern military commander, even more so than Optimus, but nevertheless is fair, courageous and resolute. Firmly believing in being the best soldier he can be, Ultra Magnus is perfectly willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good if need be. He knows he's more powerful than the average Autobot, and will throw himself at larger threats accordingly. He is respected by both the Autobots and Decepticons alike, due to his courage and self-sacrifice.

As he is committed to being little more than a soldier, he is, in his mind, commander of the Wreckers and brings much needed discipline to its, at times, unruly ranks. As such, he is reluctant to assume command over the entirety of the Autobot army, preferring to retain leadership position in a smaller capacity, such as with Autobot City and the Wreckers.

### Relationships

#### **Optimus Prime**

Ultra Magnus is in many ways a brother to Optimus Prime, not unlike Megatron was before his descent into evil. Prime has such faith and trust in Ultra Magnus that he was even willing to pass the Matrix of Leadership to him when he was dying, which Magnus reluctantly accepted until the Matrix chose Rodimus Prime as its bearer instead. Magnus in turn served as Rodimus' trusted second in command until Optimus was resurrected.

## Abilities

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (C ~ B+ Rank): While Ultra Magnus lacks the benefits of the divine powers of the Primes like Optimus, Magnus still possesses some magic resistance thanks to being summoned under the Rider-class. This skill is bolstered further by the Magnus Armor.
* Riding (A- Rank): Magnus is already a proficient pilot, and under the Rider class, this skill is naturally increased.
* Item Construction (Fake) (A- Rank): While Magnus does not possess any capacity for Magecraft nor the Creation Lathe to utilize the Forge of Solus Prime to its full potential, he is still able to craft materials through the Forge.

#### Personal Skills

* Military Tactics (B+ Rank): As Optimus' chief lieutenant, Ultra Magnus has led Autobot forces for at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years, experiencing countless clashes with Decepticons, aliens and (in recent times) even humans. A true veteran of war, he is able to devise excellent strategies with very little time and information, even when facing a superior hostile force.
* Transformation (B Rank): Like all Cybertronians, Magnus has the ability to switch between robot and vehicle form at will. When he scans a vehicle, his body instantly reformats to adopt that vehicle’s characteristics, changing in shape, color and even repairing existing wounds. His preferred vehicle mode is a large semi truck cab. Unlike Optimus Prime who carries the combat deck trailer, Ultra Magnus has a car carrier, capable of hauling other Cybertronians in vehicle mode and form the Magnus Armor in robot mode.
* Battle Continuation (A+ ~ A++ Rank): As with all Cybertronians, Ultra Magnus, even in his base form, is naturally resilient. He can endure a great deal of punishment, and as long as his spark remains intact, he can be summoned again in a new body at the cost of a Command Seal. Only the death of his Master, loss of all Command Seals, or the complete extinguishing of his spark will be able to kill him permanently. This increases even further with the Magnus Armor, letting him take even more damage than before.
* Charisma (B+ Rank): Going hand-in-hand with his Military Tactics Skill, Magnus is able to be an effective leader of the Autobots when the situation calls for it, despite his reluctance for such a lofty responsibility.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Magnus Armor**

This armor is easily the most definitive aspect of his legend. The armor gives him an increase in Strength, Endurance, Magic Resistance and Battle Continuation. If the armor is destroyed, his parameters will drop back to their base levels. When in vehicle mode, it forms the the car carrier trailer of his truck mode.

#### **Forge of Solus Prime**

The Forge of Solus Prime is not a forge in the traditional sense, but rather a massive hammer originally used by the master blacksmith of the Thirteen Primes and matriarch of all female Cybetronians, the eponymous Solus Prime. Utilizing the power of a miniature neutron star at its very heart, the forge operates through the convergence of magic and science. It is believed that it can be used to make anything out of anything, with the possibilities only being limited by the skill and knowledge of the wielder, as Solus herself used it to craft many of the other artifacts of the Thirteen. It is also noted to be one of the few things which could craft the core components of a Cybertronian body from scratch. The sheer size and weight of the hammer made it an immensely powerful weapon, one that few had the strength to properly wield. Ultra Magnus himself relies on the strength of the Magnus Armor to do so, and without it, wielding it becomes much more difficult.
