It was in the second installment of the [[Unicron Trilogy]], ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'', that the Overload toy was repainted into Ultra Magnus's blue, white and red colors and released in the west under the name "Ultra Magnus" in a limited production run.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Transformers_Energon_Ultra_Magnus.pdf]</ref>

The ''Energon'' version of Ultra Magnus, like all the recolorations of Armada toys featured in the early stages of the toyline, never appeared in the TV show, or the Dreamwave comic.

Although ''Transformers: Cybertron'', the third installment of the "Unicron Trilogy" timeline, saw ''Robots in Disguise'' Magnus enter its timeline, it was not without its own characters bearing the name. The ''[[Transformers: Armada]]'' toyline was the first to re-use Magnus's name, although not in the west - in Japan, where the character known as [[Overload (Transformers)|Overload]] in English was named Ultra Magnus. It was not an ill-fitting name, as the first, unpainted pictures of the toy had caused speculation that it was intended to ''be'' a new version of Magnus, bearing as it does his stylistic shoulder design.

===Fun Publications===
Ultra Magnus appeared in the text story from [[Fun Publications]] called ''[[Transformers: Timelines#2008 figures and fiction|Force of Habit]]''. This story explained where he was during the events of the ''Cybertron'' story. Ultra Magnus is commander of various Autobot ships sent to other planets in search for the [[Cyber Planet Keys]]. He also serves as captain of the Iron Hope which was crewed by [[Bonecrusher (Transformers)|Bonecrusher]], [[Grimlock]], [[Ironhide]], Knock Out, [[Overcast (Transformers)|Overcast]], [[Prowl (Transformers)|Prowl]], [[Quickstrike]], RipTide, [[Skyblast]], [[Smokescreen (Transformers)|Smokescreen]], [[Swoop (Transformers)|Swoop]], [[Wreckage (Transformers)|Wreckage]] and the Sky Scorcher Mini-Con Team.

===Toys===
*'''''Energon'' Ultra Magnus''' (2004)
:This version of Ultra Magnus is a recolor of ''Armada'' [[Overload (Transformers)|Overload]]. It was released in 2004 and came with a recolor of the ''Armada'' Space Mini-Con team. A version with a similar color scheme to Overload but in blue instead of red was released as a [[Lucky Draw]] figure.

In addition to the slightly repainted incarnation of ''Robots in Disguise'' Magnus, the multiple-reality-spanning ''[[Transformers: Universe]]'' toyline featured several other Ultra Magnus characters from other universes.

The Deluxe version of Ultra Magnus has yet to make any appearance in fiction. The only information known about him is that he is a rival of ''Universe'' [[Treadshot]].

===Toys===
*'''''Universe'' Deluxe Ultra Magnus with Over-Run''' (2004)
:The toy for this version of Ultra Magnus is a white recolor of the Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime and Over-Run toy. There was an error in the assembly of the toy where the lower parts of his arms were swapped with each other, meaning he could not bend his arms up at the elbows fully, unless they are fixed.

Leader of the [[Wreckers (Transformers)|Wreckers]]. Ultra Magnus is an Autobot leader of Wreckers who turns into a truck. He is also the leader of the Wreckers.

===Animated Series===
Ultra Magnus appears in the third season of ''[[Transformers: Prime]]'', entitled ''Beast Hunters''. He is revealed to be Optimus Prime's second-in-command, who survived the war for Cybertron. He is a by-the-book commander, requesting that the Autobots, with the exception of Ratchet, and even the humans address him as "sir".

He arrives at Earth in "Scattered" and meets with Arcee and Jack.

In "Prey," Ultra Magnus tells Jack and Arcee that he detected five Autobot life signatures that remained online. Ultra Magnus also mentioned that he had encountered other Autobots during his travels, many of which perished in Decepticon attacks. Later, he helps Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Miko escape from the Predacon named Predaking before finding Ratchet, Bumblebee and Raf at the Harbinger and meeting Agent Fowler and June Darby. Ultra Magnus decides that the Autobots must defeat Megatron once and for all and, after taking command, offers them a large supply of weapons to assist in the fight.

In "Rebellion", Ultra Magnus leads the assault on Darkmount, where Predaking is sent through a Ground Bridge into the Antarctic. Magnus goes after Megatron, but is defeated. Before the Autobots can be executed, a recently repaired Optimus Prime arrives and destroys Darkmount. Later, Magnus gives Optimus command over the Autobots again.

In "Project Predacon", Ultra Magnus' vehicle form is revealed, a nearly all-blue version of Optimus' semi-truck form. It is also revealed that he was put in charge of the Wreckers on Cybertron during the war, as he felt there needed to be someone to keep them in order. Once again taking charge of the Wreckers on Earth, Ultra Magnus also takes the Forge of Solus Prime as a new weapon, as it had no more power and wanted to give it a "practical use".

===Books===
Appears in the novel ''Transformers: Exodus''.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0345522528 |title=Transformers: Exodus - The Official History of the War for Cybertron |publisher=Del Rey Books |year=2010 |author=Alexander C. Irvine}}</ref>

===Games===
Ultra Magnus appears as a character in the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]] - Autobots''. He is a level boss that must be defeated, which unlocks him as a playable character. He is also available in the Decepticons version of the game. If the sewer level with Motormaster is played with Autobot characters, Ultra Magnus is used to replace Motormaster.

Like the ''Animated'' version of the character, this Ultra Magnus carried a hammer.
