Masterpiece Ultra Magnus - Sort Of.

[Sky Shadow]

From the desks of the TakaraTomy design team - one of them has cannibalised a G1 Magnus Trailer and wrapped it around a Masterpiece Prime: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...-japan-175692/

Yeah, one of the TakaraTOMY designers also tweeted a concept image earlier this week too. So it looks like they're considering the idea of MP Magnus (whether or not they'll go ahead with it is not yet known)

Hopefully they are seriously considering this option. I don't own MP10 so I can't check this, but doesn't MP10 have slots at strategic places on the legs and cab that could be used to attach armour to? (I seem to remember this being discussed prior to the MP10 release).

Either way, cracking idea and I hope this comes to fruition.

It looks very 'kitbashy' at this point. The armor is mostly composed of a cut up G1 Magnus trailer made to fit the MP-10 mold.

I think that this is something the designer wanted to do and I really hope it comes to fruition but I doubt it.

I really like it, kitbash or not. If it does get released, i want an option of that guys face on his intercom

Clearly, judging by the look on the designer's face that he's working on an armoured MP Ultra Magnus right now, as we speak

A couple of really good signs - this photo and the tweet of the concept image earlier this week (any chance you could post it here gok?). Me be watching this space very closely!
