I've been trying to figure out how Newage's Ultra Magnus transforms. Like Magic Square's the bumper and grill spin upside down, but the back of the bumper has the robot mode's chest which just goes in front of the truck windows, the truck windows hinge down slightly to make room.
The arms seem pretty clever though. You can see truck detailing on the inner forearm and upside down, so it seems like for transformation the elbows bend back 90 degrees and spin around, as such that the top of the forearm faces downward in truck mode. That's a good way to get that rounded animation model look for the forearms while also actually using them for the alt mode. Some side panelling from the truck also seems like it will fold up and become the bottom of the forearm.
Hard to tell what's going on elsewhere though. It almost looks like the truck doors are stowed inside his back but what they're attached to doesn't look like the headlight panels of the truck's front, but that might just be because the render isn't completely final yet. Hardly any idea what's going on with the legs either, it seems like it's going to be a complete inside out transformation, like that GCreation IDW Prime. I just hope the big panel thing is a part of the trailer and not the truck though, it would be ugly for the truck if it weren't. The only real obvious transformation step for the legs is that there's a groove inside the thighs for the ankle joint hinge to fit into when folded up but I'm at a loss for anything else.
I'm really interested to see how this thing works, for such a small size it seems really complex. It's basically going for the same sunbow aesthetic as MP44 with the same kind of fake part trickery it had but the end result looks so much better for something that's like 1/4 the size. The only reservations I have about it is that I think the truck windows and the bumper might be too obvious in robot mode, but I hope that isn't the case. I also wish it didn't have the single crotch flap.
