White Ultra Prime promo image found - Ultra Magnus?

[Bidoofdude]

Colours are wrong for Thunder Clash though.

I wouldn't say that. That's only the combined head. TC's torso is white, so it could still be him.

I was looking at the combined head. You're right that it could be different, but TC should be blue and gold (and have no mouthplate).

That's the leader Megatron artwork, and the TF Legends artwork for classics/RTS Bee, so we might be getting a new Bumblebee figure... Again. I wonder if he'll be part of the combining figures, or just an associated legends figure

I wonder if this means (IDW spoiler) Bee will be coming back from the dead in the IDW-verse?

Bee is a combiner part. Like a ball bearing or a small helmet for a combiner

If the rumour turns out to be true, I will be disappointed... I thought Hasbro had finally moved past Ultra Magnus being nothing more than a white Optimus.

Maybe Bee is just a promo image and nothing more tho

Thunderclash makes sense. There have been calls to make his team anew...

Sadly Nova Prime does not, based on the club figure coming later this year

[prjkt]

Almost convinced it's Thunderclash, and the Turbomasters. That car on his chest could be Scorch
EDIT: and if he came with a trailer that converted into a battlestation....

For a while he was nothing more than a blue Optimus.

While Nova Prime doesn't appear to make as much sense as, for instance, Thunder Clash and the Turbomasters, the colour scheme on the head sculpt only works for Ultra Magnus or Nova. I know that this is the combined mode head, but were it TC, I would expect it to be based on TC's head, and not a colour scheme that more closely resembles and is strongly associated with two completely different characters.

That said, the combined head is reasonably similar in appearance to Turbomaster Hyperdrive's, so it could be intended as an homage to that unproduced toy. If so, then the colour scheme is still dubious, but since we have never actually seen a full-colour image of Hyperdrive, it is a possibility.

I believe it is probably Ultra Magnus, but despite the TCC toy, I am holding out some hope that it is Nova. Based on the colours, I think Thunder Clash is unlikely.
