Is this a Magnetic Raptor?

Um, isn't that just grey?

I dont think that is Magnetic. Magnetic is darker, more graphite in color. This looks like avalanche grey that has been slightly darkened to accentuate the body lines.

It's military grade aluminum, it can't be magnetic.

It's funny that you mention that. Aluminum, like steel, has many grades and they are identified by a numerical designation. Saying "military grade" is meaningless because many different grades are used in military hardware. For example, the aluminum armor on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle is a different grade than that used in the airframe of the F-22 Raptor, and the aluminum in the F-22's airframe is a different grade from that used in its skin. So Ford's use of the term "military grade" is more deceptive than it is informative, and it's all marketing hype.

It may be military grade, but it sure melts easily.....

To be fair, any fire hot enough to melt aluminum would not leave anything to salvage on a steel truck, either....

True. However, aluminum burns and steel does not. The sailors of the USS Stark and the USS Cole can tell you.

Yes, but, if a villain comes along in a helicopter with a magnet he will be less likely to pick you up with an aluminum, body!

Yes .. . . that is like saying: Surgical Stainless Steel

I realize that. Just commenting on a pic that I commented on earlier saying the same thing as you did. My observation and comment was regarding that the aluminum body melted.......
