Except instead of an empty car-hauler, they would be filled with cars. But the cars aren't separate TF's, they form whatever parts need be.

Perfect...

 

QFT.

 

i think it would work even with out the cars on him

 

Ya I thnk you nailed it spot on. I would have no complaints  

 

Eh. Magnus is like the hamburger to Optimus' steak. Car carriers are a rotten way to build exo armor, anyway, due to being so darn spindly. If you want anything with substance, it'd be best to give him a normal trailer and have that turn into something more substantial, or even better do something like MotorMaster and have the trailer be a part of the whole bot.

 

With a movie style Magnus, they wouldn't need it to be a ful G1-esque exo suit. Just having the carrier overlap onto the main robot would give it a great armored look as well as making it much different then Prime. But then again, even if they did use Magnus, I can't see them using the exact same design as Prime.

Either way, this one would be perfect to use.

 

Flames damn it, wheres his blue flames  

 

Magnus would need red flames to complete the red/white/blue look.

 

 

Why oh Why can't Prime and Ultra Magnus be a snub nose!!!! Why!!!! And please for the love of life why does he have to be flaming...the new movie is gonna sux0rz!!!11!!!! G-1 rulzorz!!!!

Well, you did say you wanted "blue flames" didn't ya  

 

Could work! Bet the armour created by that spindly blue trailer would draw a lot of flak from certain quarters though!

 

They can simply use an extended cab version of Prime.


Or a big rig tow truck version...





Stumbled on this when googling... Black Convoy?

 

Perfect. AS long the bot is not a white Prime.^^

 

If they're going with realism and seriousness for the movie segment, I doubt we'll ever see character repaints IN the movie. Same as Megatron turning into Galvatron.

 

But that's the best part about the new live-action TFs; they can pull the metal together and rearrange it any way they need the mass.

 

For some reason, I'm picturing a Big-O style piston punch arms. Kickarse!

 

that would be sweet  

 

Cool those are nice i swear i seen i car that looked like a cool movie cliffjumper

Hmm, gestalt componenents transported by carrier which in turn becomes the frame for something like Bruticus, in which the vehicles are anchored by the frame. I like it!  

 

Me think's me likey, very much !!!!!
