Thinking this will look galaxies better with Menasor's lower legs turned around showing the Stunticons cars kibble.

Also thinking with different replacements feet and hands that BF makes. This might look better.

Honestly, I'm buying BF Lonewolf. Solely due to Motormaster being a Leader class toy. Plan to display Lonewolf in regular Leader class robot mode. On a shelf next to other Leader class Optimus toys from the Movie Verse, AEC, 2001 Rid, TFP and MP.

When I buy most of my Third party TF toys. The ones I mainly buy, Are the characters and bigger toys, That I guess HasTak will never make. Guessing the chances of HasTak making a Leader class Motormaster toy is almost Zero.

The CW limbs are backwards for the G1 look so looking at that image he wont be able to bend his his knees backwards in that config .

I must admit, I'm seriously warming up to this set. The sculpting and all that ridged detail just looks awesome, and on closer examination the kibble it forms doesn't look too bad. I do wish they had made it turn into a proper trailer though...Still, the spoiler/rocket engine arrangement looks OK.

Personally i didn't think it was that bad once i saw some proper close ups but then when i look at the head on that body it the whole combiner just looks terrible .

I don't reckon the Hastak head is bad only apart from horns. If they were going to do the animation Menasor head the should have put the bunny ears on. The PE head still looks pretty cool

I guess this could be cool for people who only care about the combined form, or for people who don't mind extra parts for the combined form that would just be put aside when not forming the gestalt. But for anyone who does want to have things have a place in every mode, it really seems like the design philosophy with this set was, "Let us make Menasor look marginally better by turning Motormaster into a steaming pile of dung!"

Ah, well. For anyone who does like it, awesome! Enjoy! For me... Well, I am glad that as far as Menasor goes, I have this guy already:

(I may be against third parties producing figures Hasbro already covered, but I have no problems with ones I picked up before Hasbro ever announced any plans themselves.)

And when there are eventually "Masquerade" limbs to go with my Combiner Wars Optimus... Well, "Ultra Prime" is a different character anyways, so he has no need for Menasor's mighty shoulders of doom.

Looking at Fansprojects i'm sort of glad i parted with mine i'm not too impressed anymore . I'm looking forward to seeing what Warobtron has planned now .

As for CW Menasor i could be tempted again cos of the upgrade but it all boils down to wether or not i jump on the upgrade for Supes because right now i'm not a fan of either with out the upgrades and i'm not sure if they are worth putting more money into .

Compared to HasTak's CW toys. Think FP Did a better job with their Motormaster and Menasor gestalt.

Like HasTak's CW Stunticons limbs bots Sculpts and scale better than FP's Stunticons limbs bots.

Wow man I never knew the feet were that big. Still looks nice though unfortunately I'm on a budget that s why I passed on the FP Stunticons. I might even pass on the torso upgrade and just get the hands and the feet if they ever come back in stock at BBTS

PC-03 and PC-04 are official now,
and will be released in June

We did some tunning to PC-04's head part
to make it look more like G1

That looks fantastic in colour. I need to see him in vehicle mode without the gatling guns first though. If it looks like too much of a mess I'm passing.

Updated the post above PE say this will be released in June .

Really like the new head sculpt with the horns and with WR getting a release i could be back in :BANG_HEAD:

Nope, no interest.

I'm all in for the Boldforms version. Motormaster needs cab-feet IMO.

The upgrade looks great! Definitely preordered.

by **Thormind** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 7:39 am

Searched the forum but couldn't find a post regarding that kit. It should be released soon but the only images available are still the original prototype pictures. Anyone know if PE updated the info?

What I really want to know is if the legs will be stuck in the "A" shape you see on the pictures. That means the feet upgrade would be required for the kit to work...

The thread you seek is here:
PERFECT EFFECT CW MENASOR UPGRADE

Unfortunately skimming through it this morning, the product pictures are not showing (bad external links?) and there really hasn't been much further discussion since the product went on pre-order. I don't believe there have been any changes, but it's likely that we'll be seeing these available at retailers in August.

Mods - please close or merge this thread. Thx!

Can't wait for this set to arrive...

Looks great!! i can wait a bit though i'm waitng for the Takara box set which should be out next month? :PRAY:

by **Thormind** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:13 pm

And we still don't know if the legs are stuck in the "A" shape. I do not want to buy PC-02, would pc-04 still work as a standalone?

Jeez, I really wanted this set, I thought it fixed the shoulder issues! But it looks like they're just as easy to disconnect regardless of upgrade. (Am I wrong?)

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 12:55 pm

I Wonder if takara has made any little changes to help make him less floppy

by **Rated X** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 7:56 am

Im so ready for this set ! I hope this set, the takara stunticons, and renderforms stunticon upgrades all drop around the same time. I went all in.
