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:
I still don't see how that's not pointless, a detachable cab has no purpose when it seemingly doesn't even need to separate for the transformation, so it just comes off for the sake of emulating a vehicle function, and giving false hope to the sense that this Magnus is a white Prime in armor.

I would love this MP Ultra Magnus to be a seperate white MP10 with the trailer that wraps around as this would give this MP the additional playability of a; White bot Magnus, b;Super mode/Ultra Magnus, c; Car transporter mode.
A triple changer!!

I wonder if the tail panel can stay up in a right angle to the back of the thighs.
Love the big Ultra Magnus eyes!

And here's Ultra Magnus! Once again from the
Planet Iacon Facebook page we have better quality image of Takara Tomy's Transformers Masterpiece MP-22 Ultra Magus. Unfortunately he's not in full color like Bumblebee, but still some good looks at the grey mold prototype from some different angles. Check him out below:

In this image it appears he has the larger visor like eyes. It must have been just the shadow of the visor rim that made the eyes look so much smaller in previous pics.

I like it and will buy it. The only part that sticks out to me as odd are the lower legs, there are the legs and then a large gap and then a floating panel in front. Looks odd to me.

The butt flap looks silly. Maybe it can be folded up or something. Otherwise, love it!

Hmm, the tires on his feet are fake... Wonder if that means there is to be changes. But then, I don't think the flap ass is going away, although I'm not that big of a hater of that thing, it's better than MP03's skirts or MP17's hollow legs IMHO.

Yeah, the butt flap is a bit bigger than it should be, but at least they got its shape right:

Takara had a bet with Hasbro to see how many times they could get Transfans to say "butt flap" and they totally won.

I like how the cab can be separated and played as a stand alone vehicle.

I would have preferred no homage than how they designed it. It sucks the way it hangs down that much. Any 3rd Party up for the challenge of making the first Transformer butt transplant? Seriously, I hope the flap is detachable because that is how I would like to display him.

The flap is way too big for its own good. It's surprising how good the rest of the figure is until you get to that one piece. It's got to have been some budgetary setback or something if they couldn't find a way to make it fold in just one more time for a better size/positioning, cuz it's hard to believe that it being that large and hanging that much over his whole back section down to his knees was planned from the start.
