    The face?

    Seems to me like his face was TF Animated inspired and not taken from G1.

    Here's hoping that they will now make MP Galvatron and MP Cyclonus as his rival but knowing Takara, they might just repaint this black and call it MP-22B just like what they did with MP Rodimus "to maximize the mould" what a load of CRAP!

    Perfect... Just perfect. He will look amazing next to Hotrod and exo suit Spike.

    only reservation is his small gun, There is always a 3p for something as minor as that.

    Looks like the buttflap can be flipped up anyway, and it looks like it's on a friction hinge, so it could easily be removed.

    Where have you been these last 30 years....repaints are a normal thing, it helps pay for the tooling.... Or, did you think the molds were made for free?

    Considering I'm absolutely 100% going to get him, I do wish I liked the mold more... something still looks so squat and chunky compared to the nail-on-the-head aesthetics captured by all the other MPs since the reboot.

    I understand what your saying. I am impartial to it. Do I wish the figure didn't have it? Yes. Will it stop me from getting him and loving him? No. I just meant that I highly doubt anyone is out there saying "hmmm that butt flap is a nice touch."

    Butt flap still bothers me but I'm still getting him. Hoping I can do something with it though not the end of the world if I can't.

    i'd rather have an ass flap than be a "shit piece" :D 

    back in my day we all had ass flaps and you'd never catch me without mine. any con who caught you with your ass flap down could shoot you right up the tail pipe!!

    I don't even care about the butt flap. I'll take a 99% perfect Ultra Magnus. This thing is just incredible.

    For years, fans have been discussing the possibility of a third party creating a fully transforming Masterpiece-level trailer to accompany Takara's MP-02 Ultra Magnus. Given that the cab for MP-22 Ultra Magnus is fully detachable, will fans now begin discussing the possibility of a third party creating a robot mode-equipped cab replacement for Takara's official trailer? :)
