At least its not his legs or arms this time, I can live with hollow shoulder missiles.

This figure is just getting better with each newer pic.
Seems like the Leader class Ultra Magnus might have more articulation than the recent Masterpiece toy version.

I think you may be able to increase the "bicep" area much like the G1 toy, if these earlier pictures are any indication. It may be a compromise between shoulder pylon height and bicep/shoulder swivel visibility...
[Edit] Added newer pic for comparison.
Also, another thought occurred to me... I wonder where the previously mentioned "firing projectile" factors in? Is it possible that the shoulder pylons might contain firing missiles? I do not see the shoulder missiles firing with all that hollow space...

And is this Magnus 1 piece or is there a white Prime inside the armor?

Like the Masterpiece figure, it's not white Optimus in armor. What we see is what we get, I'm afraid.
In saying that... I want this guy. Would like to see a Leader-class Overlord grapple with him, though!

That's not entirely accurate. Dominus Ambus is inside the armor.

I Would of liked the truck cab to be more boxy like the 1986 toy.

Maybe in a couple of years once the MP hype has died down we could get a G1 style Leader Magnus

I've looked for the G1 version on the internet (Amazon and eBay) and it's way overpriced! C'mon HTS, get it back in stock so I can order it and use a coupon!
Boy this is pretty annoying

Yea good luck finding him. I had decided that I'd try to pick him up third party( if he ever got in stock) but I lucked out. Found him sitting in a k mart. I was a little sad because the box was crumpled on one edge but what can you do. I think this is one of those guys you grab if you can. Honestly the combiner wars megatron will be my stand in masterpiece megatron. It's a great figure!

Unlike Masterpiece Ultra Magnus that is base on his appearance in the G1 animation, this latest release from Hasbro is based in his appearance in IDW's ongoing comic series, More than Meets the Eye. Sadly these images does not give us a look at the Minimus Ambus figure that comes with Ultra Magnus. Check out the image we've embedded below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!
The second shot looks great especially without those hallow missile launchers.

How is this not G1 ? It transforms just like the G1 cartoon ? The only thing about it thats not G1 is the design of the shoulder missiles which appear to be ripped off from city commander.

As in G1 with a core robot.

In other words he means "vintage toy accurate". People need to stop using the term "G1" so loosely. By American standards, G1 simply means anything transformers related between 1984-1988. There are even G1 pajamas.

Also, you forgot the years 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992. G2 didn't start until 1993.

G1 itself is just a loose term.
Before I started collecting in 2005 I thought that G1 was only the first two seasons of the Transformers: MTMTE cartoon and TF the Movie. I had never seen the third season of TF as I didn't have cable TV as a kid. Of course I was ignorant about the whole Japanese headmaster/master force/victory thing.
G1 Toy accurate, G1 cartoon accurate, and G1 nostalgia accurate are usually three totally separate things. There is no ultimate continuity in Transformers. That’s why collectors have so many shelves!

There is a core robot, his name is Minimus Ambus.
If you want a white Prime, get Classics Magnus. If you want a white Prime with armor, get City Commander. If you want a truck and trailer that transforms into a giant red, white, and blue robot, get this thing or the Masterpiece.
