Just going over his brief appearance in G1S4 - his armoured carrier mode appears to have six wheels, with a rear double axle (the actual toy only had four wheels). It'd actually fit his personality and function better, as well as reinforcing the "six" theme. He also looks like his fists are extended (and white) - at least, the projecting smaller white blocks at the sides of the front of the vehicle are in the right place for the fists on the toy.
The Japanese model for his carrier mode (Headmasters: Ultra Magnus Dies!) is a lot more integrated and slicker. The knee kibble (front of the jet mode) is much more minimised and partially covers up the wrists, and there is a bonnet/hood, although there are still conspicuously sunken areas on the front of the vehicle (air intakes?).
Greatshot (Victory: Crisis! Ambush in the Desert!) assumes a mode which is much closer to the toy, including the sunken hood and vehicle front, large jetnose kibble, obvious wings, and prominent wheels and radar dish. It's not bad - the large wide wheels do make it look like a desert vehicle.
