Ultra Magnus is a true hero. Not completely comfortable as a leader, but possesses innate leadership qualities. An expert at battlefield improvisation, and able to meld his troops into an effective force. Very sociable and charismatic, if a little sarcastic; able to relate to most other Autobots. His followers find comfort in him, as Ultra Magnus does not seek power or recognition. He is fair, courageous and resolute. Willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
