Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Ultra Magnus Prototype?

Weapon: Gattling Gun
What appears to be a Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Voyager prototype has appeared on the Chinese social website weibo. The figure appears to be a heavy retool of the "Robots in Disguise" Voyager Optimus Prime mold, and is speculated to be the rumored "Beast Hunters" Voyager Ultra Magnus. As you can see below the figure features many similarities to Ultra Magnus as he appears in IDW's Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots miniseries.

Looks like BH OP, but with a large hammer, so I'd say you're probably correct!

Actually it looks more like a retooled PRiD Voyager Optimus Prime, with a new chest piece, head and new backpack.

If that's true, it's a step backwards for poor Maggie.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I was looking at the spikes and wings and assumed it was the BH Optimus mold, but you're right: it appears to be the Prime Prime mold.

I wouldn't call it a step backwards, though. It's a good mold, and maybe we should be happy they're not just repainting the BH OP mold in blue and white.

I meant from retool, to repaint, to new mold (not counting RiD UM), now back to retool from FoC on. Poor guy.

Keep in mind, I don't really know who it is. We received this as a news submission and I'm trying to determine who or what it is.

Awesome finding! That should confirm the Walmart Voyager UM earlier. Me, I like it. I'm okay with the retooling since that always been UM trademark. Also, UM should resemble Optimus. Looks like he has wing like Prime too. The only thing I don't like is the Viagra missiles!

At least he's not all ott with the spikes. My rule for figures in the BH line is that they can't be all silly and spikey. So he joins Smokescreen on my list of guys to get so far.

Would someone be so kind to digibash the proto with the correct colours, pretty please :)
