Is this the first we've seen of this Spike and Daniel? It seems likely that a domestic MP Magnus release would include them as well, like the Spike that came with the last MP Op, but I may have to spring for the Japanese release just to be certain. It's Season 3 overload!
Now, what potential MP would come with a matching Carly...

It looks pretty good. Cab mode is great. Bot mod still kinda chunky. This was never my fav ultra Magnus design anyway so probably wouldn't get it.

it looks nice, but the cab is probably just a hollow piece of plastic like citizen stack. Looks to just clip into the chest area and hang off the back.
same mold as MP10, without the transformation.

So we get a red bumper, because that's cartoon-accurate but toy-inaccurate...
...but red inner thighs, because that's toy-accurate but not cartoon-accurate.
Who makes these decisions, anyway?

Robot faces? Check.
Human faces? "Get back to us on that."

Funny how sometimes Takara will make the MP Cartoon Accurate and then sometimes Toy Accurate??
Humm... Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't ?

I am curious to see how he looks like without the exo armour. Will he just be a white red and blue optimus? I am really wondering how it all connects. There must be some partforming right?

The cab does not become a separate robot (unfortunately). As far as I know, there should be no partsforming.

Ok, so his similarity to Optimus' cab is simply esthetic and the cab mold itself is totally different? Because from the pics it seems that the legs are surounded by an exo armour coming from the large trailer part. Its almost as if there is a smaller robot leg pegged in.
Am I the only one to see/think this?
Also, are any of you guys going to be ordering from amazing japan, since it's at a discount for preorders

The official version is as accurate and posable as possible. Why take a third party figure that isn't as accurate and frankenstein them up?

Also, the BBTS preorder states:
The next release in Takara’s Masterpiece Series will be the MP-22 Masterpiece Ultra Magnus with Trailer - ‘Perfect Edition’!
Ultra Magnus will be based off the updated MP-10 Convoy mold and will at last come with an all new fully functional trailer that will combine with the Ultra Magnus cab for the ultimate display piece!
So yes, the cab MUST transform independently and his trailer will act as an exo skeleton. I do see partforming up ahead

They need to update the description. I would not depend on a retailer for a description.
I will reiterate: the cab DOES NOT transform. The cab can SEPARATE, but can not transform into a white Optimus Prime. Please read this and you can see what I mean.

Note that the cab, while an almost exact replica of MP-10, does not share where parts split open to form the robot mode.

He's looking pretty great, even if he's roided out in robot mode. Time to clear some shelf space...

I agree to an extent. Although I don't remember U.M having m'oobs...very robust and heavy looking.
