The Energon Pub

he already comes with enough goodies, so i assume he'll just have a coin.

1st time ordering from Nippon-Yasan.com aka NY, using their pay later option for 129.59, 30 EMS shipping = 160 to NYC. Hopefully their customer service is good and no issue with the transaction like I had with RK. Can't wait to have MP22 from NY.

Now that you mention it, what could be the potential "exclusive" accessory that might come with UM?

For Lambor it was those pile drivers, SW, the energon cubes. Maybe Magnus will come with his own matrix?

Doesn't one of these pics show that he already comes with his own Matrix?

But that does raise a good question. What, if any, items has Magnus been shown to wield in episode episodes of season 3 or The Headmasters, that he doesn't already come with?

These are some of the scenarios we could get:
1. The Bomb from fight or flee
2. The Matrix
3. His Human self from Only Human or Jessica Morgan or the dude who sink for C Minor (these 2 people did ride inside UM cab)
4. Another face expression e.g. Open damn it, open, to go with his 2nd hand/ or more articulated hand (I think)
5. 2 small PVC of Hook and Scrapper for him to hold as in Carnage C Minor
6. A red bumper clip to go on top of his existing bumper if it's not red
7. Maybe a hammer even though he never use in G1
8. Autobot flag as seen from DW WW: Age of Wrath
9. Or maybe he doesn't come with one just MP Smokescreen

Amazon Japan has this guy going for roughly $135.00 dollars at the moment. Thats low enough for me to buy it !

Matrix? Yes, there might be an option to carry Convoy's Matrix but can the Matrix open? Or maybe a brothers in arms fist shaking each other? Or maybe the scout car that transforms like his Diaclone version? It's okay to dream on...........

An Autobot banner would look good or better yet a hammer?

Looks like the cab can detach from the trailer in vehicle mode.



Found on the Cybergeeks Alliance Facebook page.

And we have more Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece news this early morning, too! Thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user xMXUx, and the Cybergeeks Alliance Facebook page, another scan of the possibly the same magazine as this one has appeared, showing off one of MP-22 Ultra Magnus' features: the cab can separate from the trailer, but it is not necessarily a robot by itself. Check out the image below, and let us know if you have a translation handy!

Detaches out of necessity for the transformation or because it does form it's own little white bot?

Seriously, if it doesn't form a robot itself, I will most likely ragequit. If it isn't add-on armor, to me, it won't be worth the price...

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.

BIG. FRICKIN'. DEAL! >:oP

Not pointless. It still transforms into the core of the robot mode.

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:

Looks to me like the cab transforms into the torso (+head) while the trailer forms the rest of his body.

Detachable bot is detachable.



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.

But it's still not gonna form its own separate robot mode.

sure id like a white prime with armor. but vehicle mode is perfect. robot mode is perfect. thats twice times perfect. ill buy this twice times perfect ultra magnus with a smile on my face

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.

From "futalog" apparently.

Seriously. I don't get why people want a white Optimus with armor. I think that is crap. It made sense to do that for G1 figures, but today? I want a fully transformable truck and trailer. It's why I got Citizen Stack and looks like I'll be getting this guy now. If it was a white Optimus, I would easily pass.
