Is it just a beaten box?

Yes. My daughter was able to find another in tact however. I was more worried about missing accessories or the item itself being damaged which is being reported more often now. Yes opening it means no big deal for the packaging, but I don't like to mess with taking items back/ refunds if I don't have to.

I hate myself for getting this though, I said I wouldn't so many times. It pretty much guarantees a box set is coming now.

An unchanged Menasor but cast as the original Autobots in that episode? Brilliant! :twisted:

That ain't so bad.

My SS86 leader Coronation Starscream had its packaging COMPLETELY TRASHED.... shipped in a pristine Amazon box!
I was pissed because even the backdrop was trashed. At least not plastic was missing nor broken.

FYI, Motormaster has been let loose in the wilds of suburban Australia.
Probably earlier than he should have been but eh, bring on the Big W Toy Sale.

The Commander class and Titan class release for the Transformers line tends to appear in the late summer/early autumn at retail. However, we do have some reports that Australia is getting their commander class figure early. Legacy Motormaster has been spotted at Big W stores in Australia. It is also on this store's website, where you can check for availability. This was reported on the Ozformers website and we thank our friend Burn for the tip.

EDIT: Halohunter 553 on Discord posted in hand pictures of his newly purchased Motormaster. This is our first good look at the scale of Menasor. Also, we see how much the Motormaster contributes to the overall combiner.

I'm hoping that gun tower can integrate into Menasor some how. I'm not a fan of not using all the parts.

I believe it transforms into a rifle for him. The top can definitely be used as a gun but I’m not sure where the rest of it goes.

Didn't realize how stubby his trailer looked.

I think you might be right. At first I thought it was just compressed to save space within the package but it looks like it might be the same on the back of the box... :-?

We already had official images of how big the trailer was going to be

All good. I'll be interested to see a pic of Motormaster, Rodimus Prime, Leacgy Prime and Earthrise Prime all lined up next to each other with their trailers.

Still waiting for photos with CW dragstrip blu tacked onto the arm :p or anything that looks like a race car.

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Thu Jun 02, 2022 2:55 am

Would have liked photos with the arm frames detached.

Legacy Drag Strip is neat, been amusing myself with the split function. Should probably upload pics.

I'm hoping I can be so lucky, grabbing Motormaster from the wild.

Oh, great Toy God, allow this to happen. :PRAY:

I'm impatient and I don't wanna wait. lol

In the back, where else? :lol:

yeah im not thrilled about how stubby the trailer looks either BUT its a small price to pay for whats looking like one of best portrayals of menasor yet.

Soooooo glad i passed on the combiner wars one.

now i just have to try and grab him at a reduced price as the new prices are mental here in ireland (ya should see what metroplex is going for €239.99 ! no way. so with motormaster up for €109 like roddy i should be able to pick him up for 65-69.)
