I found a complete (I think) Magma Boss combiner and a Universe Re-Issue Depthcharge at a local flea market today. I paid $25 for the Magma Boss and $5 for the Depthcharge. Depthcharge is missing his discs, and I think Magma Boss is complete.

I thought Magma Boss was a re-issue because of how clean it was, but the instruction sheet is 1997... so it just might be original. Anyone know how to tell? If anyone has Magma Boss, let me know if I am missing any pieces.

I will be reviewing them at some point soon.

Magnaboss (not Magma Boss) has never been reissued within Transformers, but there are variations:

Beast Wars: that's the version you have there.
Beast Wars II (Japan): this Japanese release has more paint. The lion has a blue head (which makes him look like Optimus Prime), the elephant has white detailing and a paint grimmace, and the eagle has silver in places.

Both have the same accessories:

1 whip/lion backside
2 brown missiles for the eagle
2 grey clubs for the elephant
2 feather-shaped sword for the eagle

Ya my bad. Had Magmatron stuck in my head. I think I am missing the misles and clubs and one of the feathers for sure. Oh well, not a bad pick up for how clean it is!

Did you check his chest/the eagle's wings? That's where they're supposed to go.

And do be careful with that eagle. He is prone to Gold Plastic Syndrome, although he's more stable than his gold plastic kin.
