It dosen't matter which artist created what, both are equally valid interpretation of the exact same character. So yes, white thighs, red thighs, both are valid. That's the actual point last time I checked.
Nowhere in my posts was I ever discussing the Don Fig and Nick Roche designs as being different people. I was always talking about the differences in visual aesthetics from a real world comic book production standpoint.
And D-Maximus_Prime likewise explained the point I've been making about the visual aesthetics:

Pretty much every transformers had a different design for the 2009 ongoing and MTMTE. Nick Roche and Alex Milne completely redesigned the cast for issue 1 of MTMTE, Magnus included. this is pretty much a case of artistic license, with the first Magnus being earth based and the new Magnus being cybertronian. Same armor, different look.
And if you look back at all of my recent posts on the matter, never once did I bring up "red thighs vs. white thighs" in regards specifically to IDW Magnus. All I ever pointed out were the smaller details that Takara painted on their figure like the yellow lights on his shoulders and knees and the extra blue on his shins and pelvis. The thighs were never part of discussion regarding the IDW character.

Last time I checked, the legends comics were supposed to be goofy fluff material, not a serious continuity. I mean for it's been 20 years, and the comic makes Trukk not Munky jokes, I don't think it's really meant to be taken seriously No matter how many fan wanky moments there are to The Headmasters, there are just as many:
megatron's in business suits
Tigatron collecting kiss player
rattrap giving dinobot a Gari Robo-kun popsicle
Airazor and T-AI dressing up in Santa Claus outfits
windblade working at a little sister cafe, where starscream also works.
And Many more!
You've really been out of the loop on the Legends manga. For all of its humor and hijinks, there is a large portion of it that is heavily lore-based and further expands upon the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity (not the chibi BW stuff, though, that's all on its own in The Legends Universe).
The particular issue I just posted an image of earlier is one that goes into detail on Ultra Magnus's resurrection after the Japanese Generation 2 fiction, with Alpha Trion bringing him back to life and upgrading him into the body that his new toy is based on, from which he will later upgrade further into his Laser Ultra Magnus body.
I am spending wisely. I'm less stupid with my money than some collectors who get something they don't need, then end up missing out on something better later. 
Of course it is. I felt real dumb after pressing submit to see his face staring right at me in the posts that were written within the time i was done. But truth be told, I was never really into armada. I do have his toy though.
