That does look pretty beautiful.
Hope that the Diaclone colours don't break the bank too badly.

There's one additional picture available on TFW's update that appears to answer this better:
The blue side panel on his left leg can't get into that position without bending his leg forward at the hip.
Ultra Magnus is the original cosplayer.
Hold up.
What have they done to the gauntlets? They've left more of the white forearms exposed. Why? Maybe it's to allow more clearance so the fists don't need to be detachable, but was there no better way to accomplish that?

¥27500
Yeah that's definitely gonna be well over $200 US when accounting for both the usual 'US-based retailers are more expensive' and the whole tariff BS too. I'm out.

It's so pretty. They always are.
But that price tag means I'll have to content myself with the AOTP 4-pack Magnus cab for the foreseeable future.

I want this, but I'll probably never own one.
Still, between the undocumented extra modes in the US release and Powered Buggy just really tying everything together for this to feel like a beefed-up Optimus Prime successor, this is hitting all the right "missed out on this in my childhood, despite owning the damn thing" notes.
I think right now, he's my most wanted of the ML line! Along with Arcee. And maybe Cliffjumper.
Well, let's compare then, shall we?
Aside: I had Metroplex.

And the box, too!
This is just making me want to see a toy with the creepy eyes.
Does the cab include new engineering in the legs to allow the feet to swing back in super mode? The picture on the right makes sense, but I don't know what's going with the left's big white panel. Edit: the picture on the left is just bad photoshopping: it looks like a big white panel but it's just the background not being cut out.

AHHHHhhhh! That makes much more sense now.
The big hollow back of the feet reminds me of God Magnus.

That price is painful. Understandable, but painful.
Probably best we get this out of the way, yeah.
I've already seen at least one Facebook post compiling all the back view screenshots. Which... okay.
Hmm. There was a slightly better non-Simpsons meme for this... ah.
I mean, it's not like G1 Magnus wasn't missing the entire back of his "suit," but this new version has the extra disadvantage of making visible all the crazy jointing necessary to make the magic work.
You don't need armor on your backside if you never retreat.
oh he can still retreat he just has to moonwalk to do it
the enemy, stunned by his dancing skills, all drop their weapons
