The original Ultra Magnus was a repaint of Optimus Prime (well, the original Powered Convoy was a repaint of Battle Convoy), just with a different trailer that could also attach to become body armour. MP01 and MP02 were MP versions of only the cab robots, neither had the trailers. It's just that Ultra Magnus' trailer is more iconic as part of Ultra Magnus' look. But the original Ultra Magnus always was a white Optimus Prime.

...having said that, I skipped MP02, even when it was available here for $80 at Target.
