Might be interested in these, Since I own FP Menasor.

I might buy it as a novelty. But saving one doesnt really help the res, especially dead end who suffers from wannabe knock out syndrome. Im much more excited about that new 3rd party classics menasor.

I was keeping up with this over on TFW, and I believe it's mostly an upgrade kit for DF but also helped out Breakdown/Car Crash by adding a spoiler, some forearm covers for combined mode, and a few other things.

I'm looking forward to seeing this come to fruition.

Which 3rd Party Menasor? Warbotron's?

I thought it curious that they skipped Menasor preorders and went straight to Computron instead. I suspect they may have felt FP gained too much market share with theirs. If so, you might be out of luck... I guess we'll see.

I was under the same impression - Downforce may get the most out of it on an individual bot basis, but it's intended to round out M3 overall. If this comes out as a retail set, I'm definitely going to pick it up. I love FPs Menasor as-is, but a fill-in-the-gaps upgrade will add the polish I'm looking for.

Not the warbotron menasor. I meant the teaser images fron Bold Forms.
