Just when I think I don't want any more Optimus toys..., they pull me back in!

Leaked photos from yesterday's Hasbro event have begun to circulate on the web. I am not reposting them as I (and other sites) were asked to respect an embargo by Hasbro until tomorrow. You will get to see this stuff on BWTF tomorrow in high quality, not poorly Photoshopped and watermarked pictures. Thank you all for your patience.
No doubt along with the rest of the internet
I hope they tell us this is actually Ginrai. We've got enough Optimus Prime toys and code names in computer systems aren't always the toy's name (see Ivan, Max, Paulie, etc ).
I suspect that Hasbro will go with Optimus Prime, as Ginrai isn't as widely known to more casual consumers. No doubt TakaraTOMY will go for Ginrai though. I reckon the inner robot/car will be fashioned after Hi-Q (or human Ginrai for TakTOM). You could imagine it like an upgraded form of an Exo-Suit. :D
Hmmm looks ok but I wish they could add a few more points of articulation to the mold. I mean it's an improvement on the originals articulation, but still Magnus's lack of ankles and wrists really bug me.
Looks like a re-skin of combiner wars Magnus. Interesting but nothing to get too excited about. Those who use names like 'Ginrai' are just flogs.
