the KFC Ultra Magus is more and more impressive

Otherwise he looks great but I am still waiting with my preorder of the official MP-22

MP-22 will fulfill all your desires. White Prime with upgrade armour. mmmmm

That's a good way of looking at it.

To make a long story short I'm glad it has the hollow cab.

That said, does anyone know if the cab detaches? If so it would be super fun to tow the trailer via MP10 or even white Faith Leader...


Edit: found the MP02 trailer: http://youtu.be/39bgQMEzmO4

Damn, I would have bought that back in the day!!

Citizen Stack absolutely towers over MP-10 and he looks scaled as a gestalt in comparison. My Ultra Magnus is maybe just barely taller than Optimus.

Agreed, it's not show or comic accurate, I really like this figure, but I'm back on the fence now...

I don't know how much smaller MP Magnus will be... The trailer should be the same size as Citizen Stack's (to hold 2 MP cars) so to turn into armor that keeps him only a little taller than MP10 would be quite the feat.

Good point, I figure if he's just a head taller than Prime, it would fit nicely.

I tempting Stacks look, I have to hold back from buying it...need to see MP22 first. Takara has priority in my collection, I only have space for one. So it has to be the PERFECT ONE!!!

Same here. I really want to buy that KFC one, but I also afraid it will be piece of shxx compare to the MP22. Then I will hold a really expensive piece of shxx in my collection.

I believe that the 3rd party company that produced the trailer/armour for the original Masterpiece Ultra Magnus (MP-2) was called "Dreamtoys". Apparently this add-on was released in very limited numbers. It would been cool to have back in the day...well, or even for the right price now but I'm sure that MP-22 will blow it away.

I saw this in person at Joecon over the weekend, and wasn't impressed. It looks pretty cheap - for an MP, at least.

Really? I hope the new MP pics help drive the price down.
