So it looks like MM is part of a bigger plan all along (makes senses) to form the mighty Menasor....again .

I just reused the MotorMaster thread .

I already own the Ultra scale FP Mototmaster toy. I don't need to buy another one, Especially at those 3rd party prices.

The only way, I'd even remotely consider getting this Bold Forms Motormaster is if its Leader scale.

I might be tempted to get this at the Ultra scale. If it's a Combiner and it's meant to replace FP Diesel as the core bot in the Menasor combination form.

I'm gonna keep an eye on this , I would like to see this ultra scale also .

personally i don't want it to combine with FP i just want a nice hefty Motormaster. Diesel does nothing for me in robot mode he's to small for one thing , the alt mode looks awesome though .

This is looking to hit my classics spot a lot than Diesel has .

While probably not buying. It does seems like a interesting design. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this.

Hoping the other Bold Forms Gladius Megatron Thread gets updated with newer pics this week also. As I plan to buy this.

I would be down with this, as I recently decided I'd like to get a team of Classics Stunticons together. So far:

Dragstrip = SE-03
Wildrider = Arms Microns
Breakdown = TFSS 1.0
Dead End = ??? (thinking of ROTF, any thoughts on this?)
Motormaster = ??? (was hoping for a new head for SDCC Nemesis Prime)

We'll see. Maybe this will fill my MM gap. :-?

I never thought of this idea. I own all of those guys except the Wildrider. I think ROTF Dead End is your only real candidate to date. I've seen some nice customs but nothing else official.

Thanks! I like my FP Menasor combined, so I thought it'd be nice to shake it up with a team of Classics individuals. I'll continue to consider ROTF Dead End...

I guess we'll see how this MM turns out, too.

The only new Motormaster I would want is a TFC scale one. This one looks deluxe size, just based on the fist holes.

You want a Motormaster the size of their Razorclaw?

Maybe. In a perfect world MM's cab would size with Classics Prime and the Stunticons with the Autobot cars.

That's the scale i'm wanting to see maybe a tiny bit taller , i don't think this guy should be any smaller than ultra class .

Yeah, Diesel is a little but bigger than classics Optimus. TFC's Razorclaw is huge though. That would size him out for me.

Motormaster is different than Razorclaw. Razorclaw is just a lion. MM is a cab AND trailer. Really, he should be about as tall as Trailerforce, but that's just stupid for who he is and what he's meant to do.

I don't have TFC Razorclaw, but I do have FP City Commander. IMO, MM should be, somehow, that tall. Maybe a smidge taller. FP had it right with bits of the trailer forming guns, feet, ands, and what have you.

I know, scale is a losing battle with TFs. But, in my perfect world all the cars would be deluxes and the trucks would be voyagers and MM is a truck. If that means his bot mode is stupid ... well, he always had a stupid transformation.

Hoping the overly boxy robot design is still the early CGI modeling.

I'd consider buying a BF Motormaster that was the same scale as TFC Razorclaw. This would be radically different and cool. As I can display BF MM next to other leader scale Optimus toys from Rid, AEC, Movie Verse and MP toy lines.

Seriously, Just don't need BF MM to be the same scale as FP MM. Because I have no desire to buy the same 3rd party toy character in the same scale.

Here's TFC Razorclaw next to the CC mold. If Motormaster turned out to be that size, he would be about two heads taller than Magnus.

Well ... if you don't like FP's effort this seems like an option. Personally I'd like to see a TFC attempt.

So, you want FP's Motormaster then?

Interesting. I am happy with FP's take, but I'd like to see where this goes now that they are doing the entire team. (I hope he isn't actually so pigeon-toed as that silhouette shows... 8-}

If these cars properly scale with hasbro deluxe cars Im buying it. Especially if they give us cartoon accurate vehicles instead of a bunch of concept cars that dont exist ouside of Dubai in some sheiks private collection. For me FP Menasor was a huge disappointment. It was over complicated and not fun at all to transform. So hard that I might never get to reprolabels because who wants to mess with that thing again ?

It's been a month since I had that convo. So ... TFC Razorclaw size is fine by me. It seems excessive, but MM has a rediculous transformation.

The biggest flaw of FP's take is the size. I'd be down for another, but only if all the cars match up to about,deluxe size. And if that means a gigantic Motormaster, then so be it.

I dunno how big the robot mode would be. FP's wasn't a problem in any way except for alt. mode size. It's quite possible to design MM so that most of the traielr is a gun or a battle station and I'd be fine with that. The vehicle mode should just be able to scale with voyager Prime. That's all.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:31 pm

I was really disappointed with the FP Menasor, so I'm looking for someone else's take on it.

I'd prefer TFC take a shot at it as I've been a fan of their stuff so far, but if this looks better to me than FP, I'll probably bite.
