No, I remember Gen 1. He's only been his own figure once in RID. And even then he was Primes little bro and had issues. The only other 2 Magnus figures that weren't Prime were Energon (still a repaint but not of Prime) and G1 Titanium and that is damn near impossible to find. I love the character but Magnus has always been a Optimus repaint on some level. Deal.

Sorry but this really sucks! It's just ANOTHER REPAINT of the Optimus Prime Statue.
Very original... NOT!

The original Ultra Magnus toy was a car carrier. The cab connected to the trailer, which both combined to form the robot mode. The cab was a white Optimus Prime cab.

Just look at the Seibertron galleries.

Yah I know, I owned one when I was a kid. I never saw that white cab as Magnus himself...My childish mind converted it to the ghost of OP (lol).
