How do you collapse the legs properly ?
Just like if you were putting them in Weapon mode. I'm not so good with the words an such, so here a picture!

The way parts of the gun can be stored in the forearm... the whole thing is genius. Ok, it's not perfect but it's damned impressive.
Rodimus Prime wrote:Somewhat not-Menasor related, I really really wish someone would pick up the Menasor kit G1 Uppers was gonna do for the 2011 BotCon set of Animated Stunticons. I still think that's a winning idea.
Plastic quality is better on M3 (but then most companies have improved in that area in the last couple of years), and while there is a lot of engineering in the M3 bots, they are to damn small for it all. All five are a pain in the arse to transform and have spots where you must be careful or they will break. The Herc bots transformations might be a bit simple, but they are far more solid and fun.Rodimus Prime wrote:How does he stack up against Hercules? Quality and detail-wise?

That's exactly what I do with Herc. After transforming M3 back and forth a couple of times I've decided Diesel is (scary) fun, but those damn shoulders/connectors just aren't worth the riskRodimus Prime wrote:Arctorro wrote:Basically you are buying a transform-once-and-then-display-forever piece with M3 (which makes the engineering pointless), where Herc is a great display piece that is also fun to play with.
Well, I would be using it for display mostly, I suppose....but once in a while it's nice to take them down and take them apart, only if to put them back together and back on the shelf.

I've never had those problems with Herc, mine is great. As for M3, one thing I forgot to mention is his ankles. A lot of people over on TFW have mentioned that they have lost the ability to hold him straight after a few transformations, and I've noticed it is there on mine as well, he starts to lean forward.Mykltron wrote:In comparison to Herc. he's much more stable. I had to take apart Herc's hips and glue in pieces of plastic to make him stable and eliminate all the wobble between ratchet points. I still need to do that to the flip-out connector pegs for Herc's arms. M3 doesn't need any of that.
Shouldn't need to use 'tools' to disconnect the limbs on something this expensiveMykltron wrote:As for removing M3's connectors: it's much less scary if you use a thin, slightly pointed stick and insert it in the gaps to push against the cylindrical part attached to Diesel. I found removing all the weapons parts from Diesel quite easy that way. I've done it quite a few times with no trouble.
Ham fisted!Mykltron wrote:It's true that they would benefit from being rather larger but I much prefer them to Herc. as they all look so much more dynamic. Also, I enjoy their rather more complex transformation. I love detail and I'm not a ham-fisted-bumble-thumbs like the rest of you!
Then you are very fortunate as there have been numerous QC issues mentioned on this site alone. I not going to go looking for all the QC issues mentioned on other sites as well.Yotsuyasan wrote:I've transformed my Fansproject Menasor between the individual figures' three modes probably about a dozen times or so now. (Not to mention the probably half a dozen or so extra times the limb bots got transformed between robot and alt mode before they were joined by their leader.)
The only problem I ever had was, quite early on, an issue with Drag Strip's windshield. Fortunately, I was able to secure a replacement part, and when I installed it I made sure not to overly tighten the screw and everything has been fine, since. (So I'd quite recommend loosening the screw holding that part on a bit for anyone worried about that windshield, themselves.)
And how is that different from what I said? I said he was fun, just scary.Yotsuyasan wrote:I'll admit that the assembly in Motormaster's waist is a tiny bit scary, but only when you're mid-transformation between any of his modes. Once he's transformed, he seems pretty solid to me. And being aware of that part during transformation, and taking care with it, should hopefully be enough to fend off any fears becoming reality.
Again, you must be fortunate. One of my M3 legs pops of with no trouble what so ever. The other leg and both shoulders are an absolute bitch to remove, and there have been photos of the joint that is part of Diesel breaking during attempts to remove the shoulder pieces. That joint is very flimsy.Yotsuyasan wrote:I have fun transforming these figures and posing them, or posing their gestalt. I have no idea what you're talking about with the gestalt's shoulders. They assemble and disassemble easily, and pose quite freely. Not to say I'm not a bit careful with him when I do so. But I'm not a child, nor is this figure intended for one.
I couldn't care less about being able to get dynamic posses from something that is supposed to be a heavy hitting, heavy armoured giant war machineYotsuyasan wrote:Also, probably the most poseable gestalt I've yet to see. And it has the best feet ever! Good flexibility in the ankles, and a nice wide footprint with rubberized, non-slip bits on the soles! Makes for a very steady figure even in some extreme poses!

Yotsuyasan wrote:He is an awesome figure. So awesome he already has a 56 page thread all about him.
xyl360 wrote:Well, I got my not-Motormasters today and while it took quite a while, I was able to transform him directly from truck to combiner mode without any instructions and without having seen any video reviews of him. I combined him with his crew and while I find the skinny torso to be a bit underwhelming, overall I'm happy with my not-Menasor and I'm glad I got him. He's kinda fidgety and he likes to slump unless you balance him just right and his wrists tend to be a bit floppy, but he poses well and looks pretty good on the shelf.

Agamemnon wrote:I might recommend watching a video now.
On the wrist thing, Dragstrip has a couple of notches in the wheels that line up with pegs. That should prevent the one wrist from flopping. Other than that, it seemed like there were about a thousand tabs to align. Once they are all in, he's very stable. Is the slumping happening at around the knee area? There's a tab that does slide out easily on Motormaster on the part that wraps around the thigh.
How did the shoulder connectors go for you? Just like Peaugh, I had a devil of a time with one of the shoulder connections.
And I completely agree with you. He looks great once all assembled!

Ag's idea of getting in touch with FP (or maybe even the retailer you purchased Drag Strip from) might be a good idea. Another is that EchoTransformer (Boosticus set) and TFW board member G.I.Eddie are working on an add on kit for the Stunticon team, and will also include a new windshield. Worth checking out the progress on the other board.
