I imagine it'll be adult Spike and Daniel with their "futuristic" white suits from the Animated 1986 movie, the 3rd season and Headmasters.

That's what I figured, too. I just hope that they have the Dr Wu Partners level of detail, and not MP-10 Spike's level of detail.

Yeah, I'm sure it will with Daniel being included it's just the third time they have done the character. Also, am I the only one who see's this:

I'm not sure if they're being coy so that they can reveal the inner robot later with great fanfare, or because there is no inner robot. Sigh. The suspense.

Do we even know for sure the cab transforms? As in, into a proper, stand-alone robot?

Hi - We have just learned more about the pricing of the MP-22 Ultra Magnus. The figure is set to sell in Japan for 19,440 yen retail. We have adjusted your preorder from $279.99 down to $189.99! Please note that the official solicitation has not yet been sent out from Takara, and the 19440 Yen retail price is subject to change. If the retail price goes up, we will need to adjust our pricing up proportionally, but we hope that will not be the case. Thanks so much for preordering from BBTS and we can't wait for the MP-22 to arrive!
Thanks!

It honestly doesn't seem likely. This new info states 'totally new mold item'. That can be read to mean it's all new, which omits an MP 10 repaint. 2 out of 3 translations of the magazine scan state no cab robot, and the article goes to length to describe the cab 'shares parts with MP-10' like the grill and tires etc. If it was MP 10, it's a no brainer it would share parts . That plus scrutinising the pics suggests no inner robot from the cab...
Although...
This here does say it does not 'need' to detach to transform. Maybe the cab 'can' detach if you want to, but is not a requirement to get him to Ultra Magnus mode. Maybe the cab can turn into a robot of some sort, but isn't an MP-10 repaint. Maybe I'm a little obsessed with this topic now and need a good walk in the sun...
I'm leaning toward it having no inner cab robot from what we have so far. But admittedly what we have is very little, so who knows. I mean, why alternate fists? Who saw that coming?

Sabrblade wrote:@hinomars19 - I think you're mistaking me for things said and asked by Doctor McGrath and TimothyR. All I've said was some clarity on the Japanese text and noting the cartoon-focused nature of the MP line. The other two were asking (out of innocent curiosity, in Doctor McGrath's case) about why folks want a White Prime and (in TimothyR's case) defending the show-accurate nature of this figure. I was doing neither.
Ahh, then you most certainly deserve an apology. It was indeed TimothyR's comment I was referring to, the quote headers got me confused as one of your posts was in there. Not an easy mistake to make given I know how the layouts of quoting work (not like I'm a newbie here), so there is no excuse-I apologise! I'm usually much more careful, but I will be doubly so from now. (I'll also edit my original post)
Sorry again, especially since the mix up was over such a harsh backlash!
On that note, defending the show accurate nature of the figure is certainly not a problem to me. I just didn't feel right about the way TimothyR's comment went about it.
Again, sorry Sabrblade.

I think it is the reason we are seeing the prototype so early too.

Anyway, MP Magnus news is good. Not sure why he needs two sets of fists, can anybody think of a scene where something weird/different happened to his hands?
I also like the fact that he will probably come with spacesuit Spike and Daniel. I'm guessing the Spike that comes with Bumblebee will not be removeable from the Exosuit, so these figures will give alternate display options. Also, MP Rodimus never came with a Daniel figure like I thought he should, so we'll finally be able to recreate that famous beginning scene from the movie. It would also be really smart of Takara to make it so they can both sit in Magnus' cab. I might just repurpose the MP-10 Spike as Sparkplug instead. Except his shirt is wrong, but whatever.

Pointing finger so as to give our RTS perceptors some firm orders?
Or maybe hands that can clutch his face to express his boredom of our RTS Perceptors?

Because the original news stories this thread was created for was a trio of news items from the same magazine; MP Ultra Magnus, AOE G1 Grimlock, and the new Campaign Microns.kirbenvost wrote:First off, why does the 'Click Here to Comment' link for Lawson G1-colored Grimlock lead to the Ultra Magnus thread?

next.. look at the magnus robot mode.. look at the waist, there's clearly no inner robot there.
as of now, going off of the majority of the translations and the visual evidence.. you've got to come to the conclusion/the realization that there is no inner robot mode.
for me that's perfectly fine.. he was never like that in the show why in the world would he have an inner white magnus for the masterpiece version?
i do quite enjoy parts-formers.. but i enjoy accuracy more.. so, this is perfect for me.
Posted by shajaki on April 24th, 2014 @ 3:25pm CDT
UM comes with a spike and daniel. assuming theyll be the same scale as spike from MP10. so does anyone know if the MP10 spike fits in MP09 hotrod, meaning MP22's daniel will fit in hotrod?
sorry if this question made anyone cross eyed

While the evidence does suggest that, until we see more from TT or in hand images, I won't be forming any conclusion.
And as they just said, you "don't need to remove the cab to transform him into robot mode" ... It's a bit of a stretch but I and my 10 year old self will continue to hold out that little bit of hope.

Well, he's already got articulated fingers so he can point. I guess maybe they might have an addition set of hands with more articulation, but I can't see why they'd do that instead of just building that articulation into the first pair.

Haha, well yes, I was joking. He can indeed point with these hands. My only guess right now would be...a fixed pose pair more suitable for holding a Matrix? Until we know more about what this toy does, it's the only thing I can think of logically at this point.

I'm with you, Burn. All the pics and evidence suggest otherwise, but it would be really nice for the inner robot to exist.

This was found on the MP-22 product page at BBTS:
Is this indicating an inner robot, or is it simply an overlay of MP-10 on the MP-22 silhouette?
Must... know...

Thanks! We can also see that they've just upscaled the OP hands. At that size they could have given him moving thumbs - thumbs don't do what his are doing! Also, we can see that his knees won't bend beyond 45°.
