Takara Tomy Announces New Legends 02 G2 Menasor With New Vintage Deco

Posted by Emerje Apr 3, 2026 at 6:29am CDT 5,639 views
For some time now Transformers fans have been voicing concerns about only receiving three out of the five G2 Stunticons with lots of speculation as to how the remaining two members will be released. Over in Japan it appears these figures have now become obsolete as Takara Tomy begins taking pre-orders on a complete box set featuring the G2 Stunticons in their true unreleased decos rather than the stylized takes we've gotten. This set represents the second figure in the New Legends line after Lio Convoy Legendary Green Lion Ver. The set is scheduled for release in September and priced at 33,000 JPY (around $207 USD) but will be substantially lower at Japanese retailers.

Time will tell how Hasbro chooses to address this.

So do you plan on buying these guys all over again or are you satisfied with what we've gotten in hopes of the current set being completed? Let us know over in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!























For reference, a picture of the vintage cross-sell from our G2 Breakdown gallery.

I'm sorry, but those colors were awful back in the 90's, they don't look any better now.

Acid was prolific back in the 90's. Appears nowadays too. Looks groovy, man. *peace sign hand gesture*

So, Mark Maher posted to Instagram that Hasbro would be completing the G2 Stunticons, but it would take some time to do so. That post has since been removed so who knows if that means he said too much, or if Hasbro execs said no, there's no reason to finish them now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My guess is it was in the original plans, but TakaraTomy having no qualms with box sets beat them to the punch. Makes me wonder if the rest will follow suit. Which reminds me, we still don't have a modern update or both G2 Devastators... :-?

Of course, Takara complete the set before Hasbro does.
I'll just be patient.

Notice that the decos on Dragstrip, Dead End, and Breakdown are also different from those of their Hasbro toy counterparts.

Plain? Reserved? Subdued? Not as flashy or lavish or extravagant.
