Not pointless. It still transforms into the core of the robot mode.Shadowstream wrote:So the cab can detach just for the sake of standard vehicle functionality, but is otherwise pointless since it doesn't turn into a white inner robot form.
You see that big hexagonal piece that forms the cab's roof? That's his butt flap in robot mode:
Which happens to be show-accurate:

They said that it would be separate from the armor a looooooooooong time ago. Not sure how this is "new" news...

The image itself is what's new.helli0n wrote:They said that it would be separate from the armor a looooooooooong time ago. Not sure how this is "new" news...
But it's still not gonna form its own separate robot mode.

Yep, it's show accurate all right!

See, that's the thing: we still don't know if it's a detachable bot.
It appears that it may just become the torso of the bot.

The picture is new.
Please try to read and comprehend before posting smartass responses.

I still don't see how that's not pointless, a detachable cab has no purpose when it seemingly doesn't even need to separate for the transformation, so it just comes off for the sake of emulating a vehicle function, and giving false hope to the sense that this Magnus is a white Prime in armor.

Ever heard the expression "Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks"?
And nostalgia, don't forget nostalgia.

I would love this MP Ultra Magnus to be a seperate white MP10 with the trailer that wraps around as this would give this MP the additional playability of a; White bot Magnus, b;Super mode/Ultra Magnus, c; Car transporter mode.
A triple changer!!

Yeah, the butt flap is a bit bigger than it should be, but at least they got its shape right:Crystiallic wrote:But then, I don't think the flap ass is going away, although I'm not that big of a hater of that thing, it's better than MP03's skirts or MP17's hollow legs IMHO.

The @ss flap as noticed by Saberblade is kind of a homage(?) to his character model sheets/design by Floro Dery (?)

I would have preferred no homage than how they designed it. It sucks the way it hangs down that much. Any 3rd Party up for the challenge of making the first Transformer butt transplant? Seriously, I hope the flap is detachable because that is how I would like to display him.

Small price to pay SR. Aside from that, I sure can't wait for a colored version. This is gonna rock in December!

Like with MP Prime, the human figures can also ride in Magnus' cab.

I have a Rodimus matrix but do not have MP 10 so this is quite important for me if the Rodimus matrix would not fit in MP 22 if he does not come with his own one.

Burn wrote:Really looks like they've sacrificed a transforming cab in favour of a butt flap.
Yeah. It's too bad the way the flap has turned out. In the concept image, the flap doesn't look too bad, but it hangs too low on the prototype. Looks like there is a line on the cab roof in the alt mode. I wonder if it originally was going to fold in half.
Two things I still wonder - doe UM have a waist swivel? If not, why? Do his shoulders have any more articulation other than spin laterally?
I do like the arm transformation. Different from the original. I don't like the chunkiness of the toy though.

I wonder if Hasui will do more MP figures.

Isn't he in charge of Star Saber?
