The official photographer can't even capture good angles let alone think of using all diaclone cars!Originally Posted by philby
And is that Marissa Faireborn that he comes with? It can't be Carly as she's a blonde...
Oh! And love how they gave us the extra prototype alternate (bug-eyed) faces for Magnus:
Outstanding Takara!

I was initially surprised by the yellow eyes - I had to go back to the trailer to confirm he was animated with them.
Although I'm lukewarm towards the robot mode's colour scheme (I had over 15 years of the 'classic' colour scheme before I saw the trailer), I love the vehicle mode, in particular the blue cab, and overall the whole thing is beautifully executed.
Yep, I'm assuming that's Marissa until someone says otherwise. That's her jumpsuit, and as you pointed out, the hair colour's wrong for Carly.
Interesting how the blue-eyed faces have the different eyes, too, as opposed to just using more copies of the final face.

The Delta blues
Despite featuring in the TF:TM promo footage, Delta Magnus did not appear in the final cut of the movie (or anything else).

Honestly, looks beautiful, and kinda makes me regret fobbing off Masterpiece but you gotta live w/ yr choices (I guess?). Hope there's a Legends Delta Magnus soon enough!

There's rumour CW Magnus will get this repaint, and it makes sense to offer it for those who aren't interested in the MP.
The alt mode is fantastic. Even in bot mode his colours really pop, more so than Ultra Magnus. And those blue tinted windscreen.

The only thing I don't like is the red on the arms/head it just doesn't go with it and makes it look really off, didn't like it on the diaclone one either. If they went with blue or grey it'd look so much better.

I felt the same way initially, but after seeing the hi-res pics, I really like the red, it makes the figure pop!
And poor plain ol' Ultra Magnus looks so underwhelming compared to Delta!

I'd buy that - especially if Minimus Ambus/Alpha Trion was coloured as an updated Powered Buggy.
