    Personally, I don't think we need another SP traitor character in TF4. That would be too redundancy. UMagnus should keep his noble and loyal characteristic.

    Anyhow, if he does debut, in addition to what others had posted, we can go with the traditional car carrier:

    Or the Animated version base on the military M983 HEMITT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck):

    The majority...well all of the Autobots in the movie have civilian vehicles.
    Then you have to factor in budget...
    What looks normal in a civilian populated area...

    Any character can "work", provided they are written well and make sense. I'd love to have Magnus in TF4, but he may not be quite able to deal with it.

    They need to have Ultra Magnus, Wreck-gar, Springer, Kup, Blurr, Arcee, and Hot Rod in there.

    They need Alpha Trion for TF4, leave Ultra Magnus for TF5.

    I'm one of the few who say no Ultra Magnus won't work. Besides, wasn't that what they were originally going to call Sentinel Prime in DOTM, but decided to change the name because Hasbro or somebody didn't want Ultra Magnus to be portrayed as a traitor?

    No, let's not have a live-action remake of the 1986 movie, please.

    Wreckage already took that vehicle. As for Magnus I don't know If I would want him in it or not. I am comfortable with Optimus as the leader. But it would be nice for Optimus to have another friend like Ironhide.

    Comic character, most of the audience wouldn't have known that. Besides, there's nothing saying Magnus couldn't use the same or similar alt-mode.

    Glad everyone likes my Liam Neeson as Ultra Magnus suggestion. :D 

    That's a nice vehicle, but I think it's a little small for Magnus.

    As much as you refuse to believe it, a fire truck, even an airport fire truck, IS a civilian vehicle.

    Oh, come on. Do you mean to say that just because those characters show up, the resulting film will be a live-action remake of the 1986 movie?

    Yeah, maybe. I was actually intending the M983 HEMITT from the previous page. I just couldn't recall what it was, and so instead went with a random armored military vehicle.

    I think movieverse Magnus should be the same truck as Prime, but he is the classic car carrier. His bot mode should be the same as Prime, but the trailer becomes armor (much like his G1 Counterpart).

    This would suit a decepticon, not Ultra Magnus in the movies..personally.

    I'd actually have Magnus show up as a Semi truck like this but that's only because Optimus Prime is a fire truck in my universe.
