Site sponsor Robot Kingdom dropped a line to let us know that they have some MP-22 in-hand pics, including some that show the transformation process. Check out a couple after the break, and check the rest over on their Facebook page.
MP-22 Ultra Magnus can be pre-ordered from them here and is due to be released on December 27th.

I can say this is not for me. Engineering is still top notch but just does not do it for me. I am sure those that do want a magnus like this will love it .

Would anybody be interested in my Anime-Export preorder? They won't let me cancel. I would just give my account to the buyer.

Yes funny how the mind works. Have been watching TFTM since '86' and a lot since I started collecting again in '04', and never noticed that until we saw the pics of MP Magnus with the red bumper. Still takes a bit of getting used to, but since that's how it was in the cartoon I'm all for it.

It's kind of hilarious that I never realized his bumper was red or his gun was purple in the cartoon. Hell you can see the purple gun on the movie poster
Really excited for this guy now.

Man, I love it when a figure looks better with every pic.

The only thing they left out is a button for his arms legs and head to pop off lol

Just saw a pic of these two in the 3rd Party comparison thread. Stack still looks pretty impressive.
Yep, which has it's good and bad merits.

Citizen Stack or not, collectors will still buy this anyway cause it's an official Masterpiece toy
Automaster
This would not be hard at all if Citizen Stack did not exist. Still, when this Magnus gets the inevitable TRU release I imagine I will snatch him right up.

here's a video review

About the back of the cab being red, I can't really see how that'd bother me. I don't think I'd ever pose the cab driving away from my setup.
pdemaio
I'm buying it, since it was US G1, but definitely not my favorite Masterpiece toy. The original Toy was cheap, and this matches quite well. As a truck, the trailer looks silly, this was done to enable the robot to look like G1 UM, and G1 UM was a pretty miserable robot. So it's kind of silly, which was to be expected. That's said, it appears to have a cool/impressive transformation.
Qabiri
I agree with everything here except the red back of the cab. Clearly the part with the wheels that attaches to the trailer should be red, but I haven't seen evidence yet that the upper back part with the smokestacks should be red (what I posted from Face of the Nijika clearly has it white). I know animation and color errors are widespread on the show so I don't know where the mistake lies. If there is a scan from an episode that has it red, that would be nice. Otherwise I think the deco (aside than the silver stripes on the cab) is perfect.

Wattchu taliing about Willis?

Sounds incredible! Look forward to seeing that.
Well, can't really blame him considering there are now two threads about MP Ultra Magnus. I've seen the same or similar questions a few times in both threads (.e.g about the colour of Magnus' gun).
Is there any chance of merging these? It's going to become even more confusing once the figure lands!

I can't wait to get MP Ultra Magnus.

You will buy an MP again.
