While I like Legacy Menasor, I think it’d be a bad idea to rely on this system for the figures whose design doesn’t naturally invite it. I’d rather they mix it up by doing like a leader Onslaught (that does the torso and thighs/knees), voyager Vortex and Blast off (to accommodate for having the combiner articulation natively built in), and a deluxe Swindle and Brawl.

I can see why Motormaster would be viewed as Prime's arch-nemesis but I always really liked the idea of them being road rivals wherein Motormaster completely misses the purpose of actually taking down Optimus. He doesn't care about leading any of the two factions. He just wants to be the best on the road lol. He's so perfect for that and I love that they stuck to it. Truly a madlad mental case with no awareness for war.

I like the fact you actually need Motormaster to complete to chest, because on some 3rd party figures Motormaster just becomes a giant backpack for the combiner mode.

The Stunticons were one of my first loves after watching the G1 series as a kid. This legacy Menasor and Stunticon set captures that imagination I had as a kid watching him on the show. I'm with you 100%, I think this might be one of the best figures we've gotten in 10 years, and one of the best combiners we've ever gotten. They somehow managed to meet all 3 criteria. 1) Show accuracy 2) articulation 3) sturdiness. The Combiner Wars line had some fantastic combiner teams, but they were SO flimsy, and some had downright bad show accuracy. I've been a Transformers fan since 2001 RID, and while we have had many combiners, they were always awkward, flimsy, or bricks. This Menasor figure manages to exceed all expectations, and it secretly makes me wish we get this treatment with everyone. I would kill for a show accurate Bruticus and Defensor.

I actually think he's the least likely tk be next just because his Combiner Wars figure was consdered one of the beat of that line

The reason there is a break in the purple stripe on the trailer because both the original toy and the cartoon had that break. It has nothing to do with engineering or budget, it is both toon and toy accurate.

The economy is really bad right now, but I got to have this piece of history. Growing up in the 80s-90s, my Dad bought me (now) vintage transformer toys which I misplaced and lost for good. Buying toys today is not to play but for the memories I lost along the way. I still have combiner wars motormaster, but man, the legacy version makes it looks like it came from the 60s.

I can see a third-party making an extension to the trailer to cover the combiner ports and chest, and add better weapons.

What I don't like about the figure is that you should always have the leg stunticons face hood up. Hood down is blasphemy. But for some reason I'm okay with it maybe because our other option is 'inaudible screeching'

Easily one of the best looking combiners we’ve gotten. Already got this bad boy preordered (just like almost every figure in wave 2)

I’m so excited for this! The way Dragstrip separates is a master stroke! Bravo Hasbro! 👏👏👏

Being the same height as Jetfire makes Menasor look too short or conversely Jetfire too tall. Regardless of size, it is leaps and bounds above the Combiner Wars version.

I used to be a roadie who worked for local and international bands in Sydney, Australia. I came up with the phrase "Rinse and Repeat" one day at work, because work was just like that. You set up something, then you set up 19 more of just the same. So I started saying "Rinse and Repeat" at work flat out, and it caught on... One of the American tech crews must have picked it up and taken it back home and started saying it in America, and here we are 20 years later I'm hearing it in a toy review! Kinda wishing I hadn't of done that! LOL

Ah-ha those tiny mass-shifted wheels on the feet are adorable! I just hope all that grey plastic isn't going to discolor like some other recent TFs have.

So glad I preordered Motormaster and Wild Rider, cant wait to get the whole crew. Combined form is going to be so awesome!

King Poseidon was definitely the best looking of the combiner wars combiners so beautiful even if he can’t pose

Silly goose, the purple stripe on the trailer is also split in the G1 cartoon.

I’ve watched other reviews but I was waiting so long for a review on this channel

I hope we get legacy Combaticons for the next few months if they make them properly from the G1 show

one thing I like about this is that you can still "combine" them, as each section meant for a single stunticons is a separate Menasor piece. You can connect Menasor to the torso and upper leg sections, DragStrip and DeadEnd to the arms and BreakDown WildRider first and then combine them all after that.

I used to feel bad missing out on 3rd party versions of the Stunticons.. some nice variations, but most a bit pricey. Pretty happy have a chance to get a new and official Transformers version after such a long time. Looking forward to completing the set.

I definitely see the way the front of the trailer comes off, opens up an easy way to extend its length with an upgrade kit

The mechanisms in the arms are ingenious, on a similar level to the way Earth Wars Ultra Magnus has a part on his back that slides along a track and completely transfers from one part of the toy to another. Overall this toy looks great and works as a kind of playset. Heck you could even regard him as a robot with his own exoskeleton, a-la Powermaster Prime, and never even buy the other team members. I personally dislike the 'mass shifting' feet, but it looks like you don't really have to deploy them if you don't want to. Also, I dislike the cartoon accurate hiding of two Stunticons at the back of Menasor's legs, so wonder if they could be switched around.

Holy Primus, THIS is a real combiner. The engineering and mechanics of Motormaster is amazing. Definitely blows the Combiner Wars version out of the water. Now let's see if Hasbro and Takara can remake the Aerialbots, Protectobots and Combaticons. That would be a great challenge for them.

Menasor is freaking awesome!! Hopefully we get the Bruticus, Superion, and Devastator

The sword can tab into the purple panel on the back of combiner torso in trailer mode to be stored securely.

There was that time when I tried to eat a whole oxo cube. It was a bit gritty but the flavour didn't leave me wanting.

I'm glad they started the whole Legacy combiner thing with Menasor. With some aftermarket feet and hand upgrades, most all of the CW combiners were decent EXCEPT for Menasor. He got the short end of the stick.

Good review. My plans in buying these new Stunticons was mostly for their individual figures allowing Blackjack and Offroad to still be a part of this subgroup.

Looks like the King of the Road has made his debut!

The KING of the Road!

Thanks for the great video, I was struggling to get my new Motormaster transformed into Menasor!

My first combiner was UW Devastator so that is my yardstick. When I got CW Bruticus from eBay and I assumed all of the combiners scale with each other. I was incredibly disappointed with the size of CW Bruticus and I was hoping for another combiner to come along and scale with Devastator. I am getting Menasaur however. What I am hoping to see from third party upgrades are; - Articulated hands - Bigger combiner sword - Maybe a bit of a lift for some height

This way, they release MM first, and use him as almost a tracker, so that the final product feels much more… satisfying!

Maybe they could do the same thing with Hotspot, but idk how they would do Silverbolt. 1:10 Actually I checked the animation model and the broken up strip is indeed cartoon accurate, as well as accurate to the 1986 toy.

@jaydonmagan4694

Eh, the reason Menasor is like this is because he already had those sort of skeleton like arms and legs that the other Stunticons attached to in the G1 show. A new Onslaught can definitely form the upper body and waist of a new Bruticus, but given the more thicker and bulkier sizes of the other Combaticons, I think Hasbro can get actual joints into the separate figures rather than doing another skeleton like they did here. They’ve definitely evolved some of their engineering since Combiner Wars.
