That's his head without the face on though.
This is his proper head:
Could this be the reason why this pic was included? You know, how to change UM's expressions?

its just probably using the head of the existing mold from optimus prime which will be covered by ultramagnus's face and helmet to save money and to show the face change gimmick not meant to show another smaller white robot

duh.. i said HOT ROD.. not rodimus prime/hot rod.. i want a HOT ROD.. not both. i want a hot rod that fits in scale with the other figures.. not one that turns into a GIANT hot rod car.. then in robot mode is as tall as prime.
.. get it now? HOT ROD, not rodimus.

Will there be a Tall Magnus to complement Fat Magnus?

These are far from high quality photos, coupled with an ill-positioned pose.

His legs are too wide apart makes him look wider. taking a picture of the of anything looking down makes it look short. so yes someone please take a got damn better picture! before more people feel the need to make another fat joke. =X

I do like the grey/purple version in the background, even though it is a proto.

That should not be a true statement.
But really. Third party toys are expensive because of the overhead and limited production. Yet citizen stack looks better AND nearly matches the cost? Shame on you Takara/Tomy. If third party can do better AND match you in price you are doing it wrong.

Citizen Stack "doing better" is a matter of opinion and conjecture at this point.

Have you seen citizen Stack? its a stack of Sh*t. Check it out some none section reviews where the reviewer isn't getting it for free.

Well, as no one has reviewed this yet, it's not a fair comparison. My argument of pricing still stands.
How can Takara/tomy continue to price masterpieces the way they do when a smaller company with fewer resources can price it nearly the same?
In the argument I'm making it doesn't matter that Stack is better. It's that it is third-party and comparable in price.
And anyway, the MP-22 looks like a big brick o' sh*t to me. I'm sorry but if official companies really can't improve on cost and design then they should just let third party companies design these things and use their infrastructure to mass-produce them. Then we will get good toys at good prices.

And $44 cheaper than the unofficial product. Nice that we have options though.
