Earliest reports were three days ago, unless you found them somewhere prior than that.

Well, I found them in a comic book store two days before Christmas.

The TRU here said they are doing inventory so they don't see themselves getting any more for 2 months

Two months? Ouch.
Strange, I don't think inventory takes two months... My mother works as a loss-prevention (security) manager at my local Sears, and their inventory takes a couple days. At least, that's what I scraped up. Don't judge me, I'm an aspiring Marine tanker, not a retail employee.

Nope. The last Generations sighting news prior to this was Voyager Wave one and Data Discs wave one.

Walmart has deluxe class figures for $5 and voyagers for $10 for that reason.

Yes my TRU has an obscene amount of DOTM stuff clogging the shelves as you can see in my pics. I have not seen our local Hasbro rep of late...if I see her I will definitely ask her about what will happen with DOTM. The Peoria area Walmarts are overstocked with FOC wave 1 or Prime Wave 1...no DOTM left really. But Peoria Target just got a stock off DOTM deluxe special buy two packs for $9.99...Target here sucks too...there is a Super Target coming Spring 2013 and I hope it is better stocked and the area is managed properly.

$15.99 is a steal. My TRU is selling them for $18.49. =)

So I guess I'll call the USA version my Diaclone Magnus or Hero Prime or something. Hmmmm.

Diaclone Magnus is the traditional palette swapped; whereas Ultra Magnus is predominately blue with red and white highlights, Diaclone Magnus is predominately red with blue and white highlights.
While Combat Hero Optimus could be a potential suit, keep in mind that both the original canceled figure and the Generations figure that homages said canceled product both lack the sufficient amount of white that helps define Ultra Magnus.

Diaclone Magnus actually appeared in the Japanese G1 cartoon series ? Which one was this ? Did any other Diaclone characters come out ? (red sunstreaker/yellow Sideswipe/red mirage)

Movie preview trailer on YouTube.
Don't pay attention to the music or try and find it, it's straight from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (I think)

Since this Magnus retool doesn't have the white cab, it's tough to say exactly how the colors would swap out "officially." All I'm really going by is how the hues look kinda look like the right blue/red.
That said, I've decided to MY extra dark blue Magnus "Diaclone-Smurfberry-Crunch-Hero-Prime", and you can all kiss my skidplate if you want to argue with it.

What JelZe said: this was when the animated movie was still under development, and Ultra Magnus's final colors weren't finalized. I kinda dig Diaclone Magnus's palette.

That's $86.55 for the wave of five. Might as well get it at BBTS for $84.99 and ship it with stuff in my pile of loot.
