Maybe it's a new CW-compatible Motormaster whose torso mode doesn't suck.
Motormaster isn't from '85. Didn't debut on the show in '85. Wasn't sold in '85.

Okay, I had the show date wrong. Sorry, my kid memory isn't perfect.

Offically, the Scramble City combiner toys are placed in the 1986 range I believe, with Computron and Abominus in 1987, and Piranacon in 1988.

Yeah. I know what year they were released, but the Key to Vector Sigma episode could have (and evidently did) debut in 1985 even if there weren't figures to go with the characters yet.

I still find that a bit puzzling, really. First on TV, and no toys until like 6 months later.

Sowndwave76 wrote:Really interested in this Menasor rumor... Mainly because while I know it's possible that all new figures could be involved, I wouldn't doubt if the reality is that the limb bots are re-issues with possibly something new like improved weapons... Nothing crazy, but maybe just a little something to make them slightly more enticing.
I just really think the CW/UW figures are pretty good for what they are.
But maybe by using the old limb figure molds it makes a new Motormaster possible.
Does anyone know, was Menasor one of the top selling combiners in that line?
Don't get me wrong, I love anytime Decepticons get some love... Just curious as to why this group was chosen (again if this is all true).
Edit:
Is anyone else surprised at all the G1 Insecticons haven't been given any attention in these recent lines? I get they're not in the Netflix series... And no, they're not nearly as popular as the Dinobots, right? But the scout/legends class figures of the past really aren't that great either...
Why not make them roughly Cliffjumper/Bee scale deluxes?
I know it was years ago, but a few people on here on the forums said, "Hasbro just isn't ready to throw beasts/creatures back into the mix yet"...
Clearly Hastak is okay with beast/insect-type alt modes now.
Just a thought... If anything similar to the SS86 line continues in the future, we have 3 characters from the movie ready and waiting that could use a good G1-accurate update.

I'm hoping the deluxe netflix waves stays at five figures for more variety especially for the Kingdom part of the show so that show characters don't get used for select figures, giving selects more room for crazy repaints (or even just full color matched versions of figures like sunstreaker).
