From what I can see, this will be MP-10 with armor.
Newer translations claim it isn't MP-10 with armor, but a new figure that borrows cab elements from MP-10 without being able to transform into a white Optimus Prime cab robot.
But didn't the page we got translated just say that it can form Whiteimus Prime? I'm confused.
Cyberpath linked to a new translation that states otherwise:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... st10922097They're saying that
the cab doesn't transform into a white Convoy. This makes more sense to me than the translation on Facebook.
I actually prefer it this way. When I think of Magnus I think of the big guy from the cartoon, never the white Prime.
Here's the translation he linked to:
Loose translation:
"MP22 is Ultra Magnus! The G1 toy was famous for being a Convoy with armor, but this Masterpiece will follow the cartoon concept. There's no smaller robot mode, cab and trailer turns into the robot. Same size and shares parts like tires and front grill with MP10."
Also says something about not having to detach the shoulder missiles to transform, but I'm not sure. Out in late December, price is 19440 yen.
Here's
another one:
Hey everyone,
I did a quick translation of the rest of the description of the figure. It's not perfect but that's pretty close to what it's saying. Not sure if anyone already did it. Do they always have to take the worst pics imaginable? Sometimes I can't read the Kanji.
マスターピース第２２弾はウルトラマグナスに決定！Ｇ１トイではコンボイと同型の小型ロボットと、カーキャリアが変形した型ボディの合体が印象的だが、マスターピースではアニメーション映象と同様の変形コンセプトを実現。キャブ単独のロボットモードは存在せず、キャブとカーキャリアが一体のままロボットなる変形パターンを採用している。ビークルモードのキャブはＭＰ－１０コンボイと同じサイズで、タイヤやフロントグリルなど、一部バーツも共用されている。その他、肩のミサイルにも基部の？動を盛る込むなど差し替えなしでの変形が可能となっている。
The decision for Masterpiece 22 is Ultramagnus! For the small size of the G1 toy’s robot form, the transformation and unification of the car carrier was impressive, but our target for the masterpiece (figure) was implementing a transformation identical to the cartoon. Without the existence of the (truck) cab in robot mode, we had to employ the robot transformation of the cab and car carrier as it is. In vehicle mode, the cab, tires, front grill etc., are the same size as MP-10’s、so we used the commonalities of the two. Furthermore, transformation can be done without removing (replacing) the shoulder missiles.
Taking the above Kana and Kanji text and putting it into Google Translate gets this awful translation, but one that contains something important:
22 bullets Masterpiece decision to Ultra Magnus! And small robots of the same type as the convoy, the union of body type the deformed car carriers are impressive in the G1 toy, but I realize the concept of deformation as well as animation Utsuzo the masterpiece. Robot mode of the cab alone does not exist, I have adopted the deformation pattern car carrier cab is robot left on earth. Cab of the vehicle mode is the same size as the MP-10 Convoy, such as tires and front grill, some baht has also been shared. Others, even missiles shoulder of the base and? It is possible to deformation without replacement and crowded mol movement.
? I wasn't even thinking about it. My only concern was that I'd need to make sure I was able to snag one of the inevitable eHobby Diaclone color repaints. Now you've got me thinking about 2 of the regular version as well.
