LG14 Ultra Magnus revealed? Includes Alpha Trion?

[DELTAprime]

Well we might have our first look at LG14 Ultra Magnus and it looks like it includes a Alpha Trion repaint of the Minimus Ambus figure. This is unconfirmed at this point as Takara Tomy have not official released any pictures.

(beaten to it by two minutes)

A product picture for the Japanese version of Ultra Magnus has leaked from an anonymous source in Asia, so we don't know where it is from, or if it is even a legitimate image. But BWTF who posted up a copy believes it is real... and I guess from the Japanese perspective, the character of Minimus Ambus is probably not known, as it is a creation of IDW for their comics.
So if this image is true, the Japanese version of Ultra Magnus will have the mini-bot recoloured and renamed as Alpha Trion.
Apparently the face sculpting works, but I'm not sure about the alt-mode though.

Oh my. Other than that BotCon 2007 exclusive, is this going to be the first official Alpha Trion toy?

Theres a Kreon and EX Gokin of Alpha Trion, so this would be the 4th Alpha Trion.

I think if this is legit I might do something I normally never do and buy both the Hasbro and Takara Tomy and parts swap the red thighs on UM. Then I would have both Alpha Trion and Minimus Ambus.

I meant vanilla Transformer Alpha Trion.

I like the Ambus figure better, for me Alpha Trion being one of the Original 13 Primes he deserves more than a legends sized figure.

Having said that the Takara version again looks fair superior to the Hasbro version on UM.

Doh!

I was afraid this would happen, I didn't think that Takara's Magnus would come with Minimus Ambus and now it appears true. Now I don't know what to do, I want that Minimus Ambus figure, but if this photo is accurate the Takara Magnus toys colour aps are so much nicer looking than the Hasbro version, actually worthy for a Leader class.

A rather expensive solution for a Leader class toy, also red thighs are correct for MTMTE IDW Magnus.

Poor Japanese fans who like the IDW comics. The King Comics guy told me MTMTE was super popular there.

Maybe a 3P will release an improved version of minimus ambus. This really sucks as the Japanese Magnus looks so much better. Still, despite it all, the Japanese version wins hands down for my money.
