Ultra Magnus looks sexy.

Grimlock looks neat.

Saw this on the TF Upgrader Facebook page.

The transformation in the legs is quite different than the G1 figure. The size looks good. I just wish his feet were better defined and the inner lower leg could get covered a bit more.

Does anyone know what is up with the head shot in this picture? Is this showing Convoy's head with the back half of Magnus's helmet?

I dunno what it says, but I'm guessing that the naked magnus head will come with removable parts to be replaced with the actual Magnus helmet, so that pic is of the original head with said parts removed.

Yes.

>:oP

Masterpiece is living up to its name.

Cool piece of work...nuf said

Perhaps Magnus will have alternative expressions like MP-21?

I really liked what KFC did with their version and would've been tempted if I hadn't known about this. I'm a huge ultra magnus fan so much so I want to get a G1 encore

I'm pretty glad I didn't get the mp10 as this will fill in nicely all I'm concerned about (besides the price obviously) is its head... looks weird but i'm sure it'll look better once painted. You think they'll be release the magnus parts separately? Or perhaps, could it lead to a powermaster upgrade for mp10s... one can only hope.

Movie Dinos in G1 colours look better i think but that might be nostalgia...

Did anyone find my jaw? I lost it when it fell on the floor.

As the countdown begins........this are based on an online Japanese retailer's ETA

WJ= end of August 2014

Bumble= end of December 2014

UM= barring delays like Soundwave.........end of April 2015? Just 12 months from now. Not even talking about my wallet getting r@ped by Star saber.

Magnus is looking AWESOME!!!!
Way to knock it out of the park, Takara.

The G1 Dinobot recolors are looking good too, I very well may import these.

But, but, but ... is that an Autobot Mach 5 next to Grimlock?????

Hm, looks like someone posted English translation in the comments section: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=611705112248562

And here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=611690878916652

Among other things it says Magnus will cost $190 in Japan.

Blazemaster is so trying to be Armada Jolt.

Not sure who the others are trying to mimmick.

Funny you should ask, I can barely make out one of the names: Buzz Saw, out of Waspinator.

Fellow Seibertron.com user Cyberpath has found a useful translation of the text accompanying the images of Takara Transformers MP-22 Ultra Magnus reported earlier, courtesy of poster Li Tian on the TF Upgrader Facebook page. Check it out below, next to the images again!

[quote]Main paragraph: Masterpiece #22 is confirmed to be Ultra Magnus. G1 toy was a combination of a Convoy same sized robot and a big body part which transforms into a car carrier. However, Masterpiece toy is going to make its transformation as shown in the cartoon series. The cab truck will still have its own robot mode, but it will be able to transform with the car carrier body as one. Its vehicle mode includes a cab truck in the same size as MP-10, tires and front grill will be the same parts. In addition, shoulder missile launcher will be removable, but it does not have to be removed in order to transform.

Pic 1 with Leader's Metrics: MP-10 Metrics can be stored inside its chest.

Pic 2: Truck mode (in the middle) - Carrier mode gimmick will include movable ramp.

Pic 3: This is the size comparison with MP-10. It is made to be very show accurate.

Continued 2nd Paragraph: MP-22 Ultra Magnus will be released around second half of December, selling price will be 19,440 Japanese yen ($190). (Actual available date and price may be changed.)[/quote]

[quote]For the pic on the right: With respect to the G1 Toy, under the helmet, it will have a smaller head of Magnus (same as Optimus Prime).[/quote]

If you have a problem with this, then the problem is with you.

I don't think so.

I do have a problem with what I am seeing. I will wait to judge until we get clear, full-color shots. But I am not wetting myself like most of you, because this doesn't look "Perfect" by any means. But, as I said, the final product images may change that. It does make KFC's look simple, but as of now, if I had to choose between the 2, I would take theirs. With a new head. I do think the final product images will show this figure to be better than what it looks like now.

oh god, i can hardly wait *drool*

This sounds like a very big undertaking, engineering-wise. Its own small-robot mode, but transforming with the trailer as a single part, ala the show? Sounds like more complex engineering than MP-9 Rodimus.

I suppose the implication is that there would be a redeco or two (Shining, Diaclone, Powered) to offset the work involved.

The good thing, of course, is that not being a licensed vehicle mode, a U.S. release seems like a slam-dunk, offering more opportunities to recoup.

But December seems so far away...

A repaint movie accurate devastator legends/legion ??? That is great news, so takara will continue legends/legion toys
