Well, that comparison shot with 2006 Classics Optimus Prime makes it pretty definitive. Hasbro's SW Ultra Magnus has a much lighter blue, which matches the IDW comic coloring pretty well. I still like Takara's apparently darker, deeper blue much more. From the pics, it looks like disassembling the leg assemblies at the knees might be possible. Although the insides of the joints look like pegs, the outsides look like they're sporting screw holes. I'm thinking it's a long screw with a grove near the head and a smooth body below (or perhaps all the way down) holding the legs together at the knees. I think the shin pieces are held on with double friction joints right above the feet. That should be easy to swap. If the shoulder assemblies are screwed together, it should be a simple matter to swap the stacks. I'm planning a kitbash of the Takara version to give it the white thighs and shoulder stacks and knees without the yellow detailing of the Hasbro version to create a "nearly" perfect cartoon G1 colors Ultra Magnus (yet obviously with the IDW design for the mold). I could swap the corresponding parts from the Takara version back over to the Hasbro version for an IDW detailed Magnus that also has the right color of blue to match the comic prints.

Compare to the Takara version, This Um look terribly underpainted. It's really not like Hasbro Megatron VS Takara Megatron! For some oddball reasons, Hasbro was the more colored version there.
Still, That mold look FANTASTIC, with a solid bot mode. The vehicle is not too shabby, but it's clear Magnus was designed as a robot first. Waiting until sepetember/october to get my Takara UM will be a long wait, but will totally be worth it.

Important question answered. He can hold deluxe cars in his trailer. I'd imagine you could fit legends cars on there too but we'll find out.

Well first it's because that's how Magnus's alt mode looks in the comics, but also it's designed to be gigantic. The windshield slits are meant to be as big as normal windshields, if that puts the rest of the truck in perspective. Note the tiny doors.
Personally I am stoked for this guy. He looks fantastic, and I admire that they put all that detail inside the cab, based on the artwork. I bet it'll look better if someone paints it.

That cab seems to be made up of two hinged panels. I hope some third party company makes new panels for a more traditional cab appearance. Then this Magnus will be perfect.

I'm still stoked, but I agree that he's super hollow. Then again, he has to be to hold cars in vehicle mode.
The biggest turn off for me is that the truck cab is smaller than Optimus from 2006. But that's a pretty minor gripe IMO. his back kibble could use a touch up as well.

The colours make a big difference but there isnt that much new in terms of paint apps, just some yellow here and there.
The big difference for me is that I know alpha trion more than minimus ambus. But alpha trion riding magnus isnt anywhere in the fiction, so I am having a hard time coming up with what I want out of this toy.

More blue on the trailer works like a charm and the red looks verrrrrry nice. I'm holding off untill I see some in-hand pics of Takara Magnus. I want to know if he looks just as nice as the official pictures. And since I don't read the IDW comics, Minimus Ambus doesn't mean a single thing to me. There's at least a GEEWUN connection in Takara's version and that (drumroll) I can deal with.

I would think that Legends class would scale very well with the car carrier, but the bot appears to be pretty spot on with Deluxe and Voyager class.

Takara beats Hasbro in Alt mode color for sure. The trailer looks far more uniform and it plays with the illusion of the parts making up another form. But dammit, I dont like his red thighs. Hasbro looks more like a smaller version of the MP (which I realize now, also has a ton of paint apps missing):

Also, Takara Leader UM have more than extra yellow paint aps. It have lots of silver bits that Hasbro don't have. Most notably, the tire rims, and also inside the feet joints. Takara is so full of colors, it make the Repros irrelevants for Legend UM.

But...

Argh, I'm going get in so much trouble with the Mrs.

I'm feeling lazy. Got a link to the Seibertron thread about that kit?
Because I'll be buying only if it dosent impede the vehicle mode or the transformation.
There are two kits out there:
X2Toys - CW Megatron Upgrade
DX9 TOYS AL-01 for CW Leader Megatron
Cheers!

X2 is stupid. What's the point of hiding the whole figure?
DX9, on the other end, I may buy. But I'll need more info, especially for the tank mode.
Also, what's up with 3rd party companies and all those X everywhere?

Because X's are cool. Especially if there is three of them.
That DX9 kit does look good. I even like the vehicle intergration.

Here is my solution. I will wait to buy the Hasbro one until Takara's is available to preorder on amiami or hlj. If within that time, the hasbro version goes to 30$ like Jetfire did, then I buy it. Because then I bought a 30$ toy and not a 50-60$ one and I wont mind the lack of paint, it will be an easy sell instead. BUT, if it never goes on sale, then I will simply buy the Takara for what will be the exact same price as buying the hasbro one in store. And thus will own a toy worth 50-60$.
So either I buy a toy for 30$ worth that much or a toy for 60$ worth that much. No guilt either way.

I just can't decide what to do about the "Generations Magnus Dilemma". Do I go down and dirty for the quick high of Hasbro's, or do I wait and bide my time for Takara's?
I CAN'T HANDLE THIS. AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!

No more than I mind the 5mm hole on Legends Thundercracker. It's really just a small thing that doesn't impede my enjoyment of the figure.

You dont mind the holes on top where jetfire's jet guns used to be?

i for one agree with you, never heard of Minimus Ambus until the reveal of this figure so A-3 or Minimus doesnt matter all i see is Ultra Magnus

The big difference for me is that I know alpha trion more than minimus ambus. But alpha trion riding magnus isnt anywhere in the fiction, so I am having a hard time coming up with what I want out of this toy.
More blue on the trailer works like a charm and the red looks verrrrrry nice. I'm holding off untill I see some in-hand pics of Takara Magnus. I want to know if he looks just as nice as the official pictures. And since I don't read the IDW comics, Minimus Ambus doesn't mean a single thing to me. There's at least a GEEWUN connection in Takara's version and that (drumroll) I can deal with.
