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 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.

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...

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.

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

Probably earlier than he should have been but eh, bring on the Big W Toy Sale.
I'm hoping I can be so lucky, grabbing Motormaster from the wild.
Oh, great Toy God, allow this to happen.
I'm impatient and I don't wanna wait. lol

It is a little stubby. They really milked that angle on the box photo LOL

In the back, where else?

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.)

Motormaster is the perfect demonstration on how viewpoint and perspective can make or break a photo.

Speaking of Legacy, Sandstorm is still the best Beast in the line

I am quite impressed that Motormaster does indeed at least transform quite a nice amount to form the head and bit of the body. Kinda helps the frame feel less "cheatsy"...still not really a fan but it is my choice to display them combined or not. (And I definitely won't be, so it doesn't bother me. )

The holes in Menasor's lower legs. Wouldn't the two fill those in?william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Looks like Legacy Breakdown and Wildrider are gonna form more than just the back of the legs.

A far cry from the deformed abomination that was the Combiners Wars original.

I don't know. We can already see the legs are compatible. And if you look on the shoulders....
If those parts can flip up, it might just work, though I'm probably just being too optimistic.

I think you're being too optimistic, they've already said the connectivity is only in the legs, and even then it's not solid (like plugging a CW limb into Cybertron Optimus Primes arm joint)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only the legs connect to the trailer, the arms connect to Motormaster himself, right?

So here's the results:
Putting Iguanus in this position:
And inserting him like so:
It's not perfect, but it work.

Knock Out isn't part of Menasor in any way. A proper G1 Breakdown and Dead End are coming.

That makes no sense.
You are suggesting that Mensaor is made out of 4 completely new molds and a retool of a retool of SS-86 Jazz?
I think you might be confused.

There's no maybe about it. At the same reveal that gave us Knock Out, Wildrider and Motormaster we were specifically told we had to wait before they could show us the last two members.

I think the confusion is that he thinks Knock Out is a Stunticon. Like he's Dead End renamed for Trademark reasons or something, based on the fact that he's a red Decepticon car, when Knock Out actually isn't a Stunticon at all.Emerje wrote:RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Emerje wrote:RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Overcracker wrote:Very very nice.

I look forward to someone coming up with a way to attach all four CW cars.
While I like Motormaster as an individual figure and Menasor's posability, I still fail to be impressed by the fact that they designed Menasor to match seriously lazy animation. It just reduces Menasor to an alt mode of Motormaster with the other Stuntacons as clingers-on.

You can bet your left AND right nut that some smart-ass will make a 3D printed "upgrade kit" that will allow exactly that. It's just a matter of time and will come sooner than you think.
Posted by Overcracker on June 6th, 2022 @ 9:39am CDT
Got to say, he's pretty nice for such a small guy. The hood doesn't like to stay tabbed in though in Car mode.
With that said, I suddenly feel the urge to have a Commander Class Star Convoy to pair him with for some reason.
