I gotta disagree. The incomplete purple stripe on the side, I didn’t notice that. Fair point. But to me, this is toy of the year! It’s so much fun, and engineering is incredible. The design is so cool, but I also adore parts forming. More pieces means more toy pieces to play with.

I thought that this Motormaster will be integrated

A month or two ago Big W finally got Legacy figures in stock in my town right in time for their yearly toy sale and when I got it home and unboxed it, it was significantly yellowed. But not only that, one of the wheel assemblies on the trailer was *horrifically* bent. So I went back to the shop to get a replacement and thankfully this time I opened it in store but it had even worse yellowing and the *exact* same damage to the *exact* same wheel assembly. Also, isn't that just LOVELY to know that literally EVERY SINGLE batch that got sent here to Australia has yellowing right out of the box, isn't that just FANTASTIC?

Hey, for those who got bad batches of Motormaster, the best method for dealing with the yellowing is as follows!: -Take the lid of a completely translucent bin and pour in a layer of hydrogen peroxide -Place a smaller lid in the middle of the bin lid, which you will set the figure on. Make sure the figure has no contact with the hydrogen peroxide -Place on the translucent larger bin on top, and let it sit in the sun. This method deals with the yellowing and does not make contact with the figure, meaning that the paint & stickers are left in tact, and the plastic is not weakened. It also requires no disassembly!

Also I will not defend the turret going nowhere. I see why they did it, as they already had the full body completed, and didn’t want to mess with the look, but they could have made another configuration for it when in Menesor mode. Though I do appreciate the overall effort. Good job Hasbro.

Gotta sorta disagree about the Rodimus thing. Rodimus feels so premium because his trailer had to do almost nothing, he pretty much got the bulk of the engineering and budget while the trailer was just boring. Motormaster doesn’t feel as premium as hotrod but he feels just as good if not a bit better then most the mainline voyagers we get. I also think the combined mode is the way to do combiners going forward, it’s so solid and for me makes it feels much more worth the commander price. This is probably my second favorite of the commanders and I can’t wait to see what combiners they do next.

Another concern I have with this guy is the height in combined mode. Motor master was shown to tower other transformers, yet here he's the same height as siege jetfire.

Жыл бұрын

This times 1000%. I didn’t get into collecting until Siege/Earthrise, but the two older combiners that I picked up were CW Devastator (who matches perfectly with Siege Omega Supreme) and PoTP Predaking. Jetfire is supposed to be smaller than the combiners (which he IS when compared to CW Devy and Predaking), but when this new Legacy Motormaster is placed alongside these bigger “Titan Class” figures, he looks comically small. Don’t get me wrong… he’s very well engineered and poses very well, but the scale in combined mode is simply too small for my tastes. Hopefully some 3rd party can figure out a way to add an extra 3-inches of height while still keeping the proper proportions (hell… I’ll even accept partsforming to pull it off). We’ll see…

I think he's fantastic. Super solid in combined mode. Easily my figure of the year even in his incomplete state. Now to get some leg extenders

I personally put the turret stand onto the back with the trailer peg fitting into the cabs trailer hole in the back, to kinda give him trailer wings, it's not the best but it's enough to cop with till an upgrade kit fixes that lol

You can hang the gun tower off Menasor's back, actually. There's no tabs to hold it or anything, but put it back in the U shape as it attaches to the trailer mode and hung it upside down by hooking the parts that are the tower-mode's side feet onto the tops of his shoulders and it'll stay well enough for standing in a display, and his heel plates are already long enough that it won't take any more space. It makes the blocks on top of his shoulders that much bigger but doesn't affect the outline much otherwise, and you can finagle the big gun on to fill out his left upper arm a bit until that guy is released as well. That works better if you put one of Drag Strip's pistols in the port on the front of that arm and spread the big gun's handle on the front side a bit to rest against it while the back side handle plus into the port at the very top rear of the upper arm, and isn} super secure even then, but again it stays well enough to stand on your shelf while waiting for the rest of the team to arrive. Once these guys are done, I'm really hoping for a Seacons or Technobots update. Realistically the Combaticons need one the most because the last couple Bruticuses we got SUCKED, while the others were just typical CW with the typical CW issues and 3p Devastators abound. The Texhnobots and Seacons were the teams I really liked, though, and since they seem to have moved on to Headmasters and Masterforce characters some renewed or just mainline rereleased Seacons would fit right in. I could also go for an all-new combiner team to be introduced in EarthSpark, though I severely doubt they'll try anything so radical - it's been pretty much just reinterpretations of the same core cast on either side ever since the bayformer movies hit, occasionally a sprinkle of g1 reinterpetations, and the only real new ones to show up being one-ep-wonders from RiD15 and Cyberverse who only occasionally got an actual toy, and even then most are just obscure, sometimes toy-only or comics-only characters probably used more to preserve the trademarks than anything.

Those ratchet joints were music to my ears. I love the clicky-click.

Imo this guy is very worth it because MotorMaster on his own is a voyager and then he has his trailer which does so many things and when transformed it becomes a commander sized figure and the trailer does all that with only being priced at 50ish dollars

Great video! With everyone saying that the new legacy motor master was great I was thinking about getting it but I didn't know for sure, so I'm glad you made this video.

With motormaster being one of my favorite characters, so this figure has got to be one of my favorite figures so far this year

12:54 I'm pretty hyped for this but, I don't think you can really say it's that incomplete, all the other cars are gonna do is bulk out the combiner mode a bit, and some color the trailer has all the joint/posing/etc so we know what that's like, really not a fan of faux ratchets in the leg joints btw

I only encountered the undeliverable issue once for Motormaster, as well as the Wreckers Leadfoot and Masterdominus, but did get both. What bugs me is after the second failed, I got an email from Amazon suggesting Amazon drop locations, as if they knocked on my door without even entering the city.

I’ve had this guy for a couple weeks now and overall I like him a lot. My gripes are I think menasor is to short in the thighs, sword is not long enough,trailer wheels as you said and not making total use of the parts for combine mode. Looks wise he’s the 21st century g1 inspired menasor I wanted. Yes price is a bit much for what you get. Especially when he takes up half the box he comes in!

Managed to grab Motormaster for AUD $160 from Big W day 1 of the release - like literally happened to walk past a Big W staff member as he was opening the box - MotorMaster never even made it offically onto the shelf!! :D

Don't forget about legacy wildrider and legacy dead end, too. Because they're part of menasor's combination.

Something worth noting on the topic of Combiner Wars compatibility: They actually designed it so that if you have the Perfect Effect CW Menasor upgrade the replacement feet included with it are actually *perfectly* sized to match the legs on the actual figure, so for example if you wanted a TFP Breakdown, and you have the Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron as well as that upgrade you could replace the right leg with that figure

This combiner is AMAZING! I'm canadian and I bought each part separately and the box with all five. It is an engineering marvel! It's solid, fun and is paving the way for 2025 combiners! aerialbots, constructicons and combaticons! Can't wait!! Hope they are as good as the stunticons!

Hey That Toy Guy! Great content btw love your vids man! Little history lesson here, Motormaster’s truck mode is based off a k100 aerodyne kenworth semi truck, 70’s model. Those trucks were slightly larger than what Optimus was based after, which was a mix between a freightliner FLT 80’s model cabover and a peterbilt 362 cabover 80’s model. Also, the “bed” is called the frame or, if you want to go old school with it, it’s nickname is “cat walk”. The trailer I agree is short but oh well cannot wait to get my hands on my own copy. Anyways hope that helped or maybe you learned something, have a great day!

It's a great figure, I got red cog because of the extra weapons and give Motormaster the shotgun it looks really good. The problem with the stunticons is that they are going to look really good in all 3 modes. Robot, vehicle and combined mode. Now to wait for DNA to give us a proper sword and rifle for menasor.

I think parts are changing colors on my siege Springer and kingdom Cyclonus. Does it get hot in their boxes? Even though I have mine in an air conditioned room?

this is why i'm glad i have the og g1 menasor gift set

I feel you could do videos or shorts about the plastics on tf toys why polyurethane is unpaintable or other issues like transclear plastic, something like that
