    I'm not a fan of that rendering photo, chest seems way too narrow for Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus, despite his overly modest attitude is meant to have a build of a strong-buff dude type. He needs a wider chest as it gives off that humanly masculine feel like this artistic design:

    What made both MP-10 and MP-01 perfect in a physical sense was how their proportions of their limbs give are done so well they give off such a presence.

    Hmm you're spot on with your observations there my man. It's lost a bit of appeal after you've pointed these out. Not liking that roof on the cab either. Feels like a bit of an afterthought.

    Still, I'm very keen to see this guy as a prototype!

    I'll wait till final pics of the actual toy. It could end up being another Perceptor with weird head and odd colors.

    Kind of surprised that 3rd parties haven't been doing Magnus for years.

    Xtransbots had a near complete Galvatron in the works at one stage didn't they? He looked pretty awesome, if I remember right. I wonder what happened to that figure.
