Transformers News: Transformers Combiner Wars: G2 Menasor Pre-Order Up At ToysRus.ca

Menasor could be the ultimate weapon. Until the Stunticons can set aside their rivalries, he's best unleashed to demolish what he can in fits of fearsome but unfocused rage.
Convert, attack and destroy with this incredible 7-in-1 Menasor Collection Pack! Theres a whole force of Decepticons in this pack and theyre spoiling for a fight with their Autobot enemies. Whether these sneaky Decepticons are in robot mode or vehicle mode, theyll attack with everything theyve got! And when thats not enough, theyll combine to form a massive, unstoppable Menasor figure! Maybe the Autobots could defeat Motormaster, Decepticon Dragstrip, or Dead End alone. Maybe Breakdown, Brake-Neck and Blackjack wont be enough to stop the Autobot advance. But when they combine, Autobots beware! Dominate the Transformers battle with your Menasor Collection Pack!

Dead End and Brake-Neck are mistransformed as well. You'd think Hasbro would make sure the figures are transformed correctly in these stock photos.

Sometimes I think in that way they trigger the itch in us to get them just to transform them correctly. :lol:

Either that or it makes us want to look up pictures of it transformed correctly, but hey both of them work. One option just costs more.

WRONG. What we need is a titan class Alpha Bravo.

In all seriousness though, I'm super excited for Titan Wars, but I'd like to see a Fortress Maximus modeled after his IDW version, where he's a tank or something and is roughly voyager scale.

The mistransformed legs actually look better because it gets rid of the monkey arm look by giving the legs a much needed inch. Cant explain the one horn thing other than somebody thought it looked cool which I would disagree.

You can get that extra inch by just straigthening out his legs, it looks awesome.

Hmmm, with the mis-transformed legs, Menasor basically gets a triple knee for each leg (combiner peg, legbot waist and legbot knees. I bet that means he can kick himself in the face. With all that flexibility, he should probably try yoga.

No, it's just 3. In the picture you see the 3 parts "combined" and solo standing in front of him.

The combined mass of BuiLD-ThINg is made of Heavy Load, Hightower, and Grimlock. The three components standing around BuiLD-ThINg are Wedge, a second Heavy Load, and a second Grimlock.

That's why I said the fourth component is next to the mass rather than a part of it, in response to ZeroWolf's original confusion about the combiner having four parts while only three are seen combined here.

I know what you meant, but there are just 3 characters in the picture: Heavy Load, Hightower, and Grimlock. Wedge isn't there. You can see that the torso of the "Combiner" has wheels and not tank tracks, so it's not Wedge.

It's nice to see G2 Menasor will be released soon. I just think its kind of odd... The Box Art for G2 Bruticus has been out for several months, but G2 Menasor Box Art was only revealed thanks to a fan that posted it a few pages back.

I wonder...Will Hasbro be doing a G2 Defensor? -One of the advantages of the G2 sets is that you get the "original 5" Members, plus a bonus Legends figure (though they are in "garish" 90's color scheme). But with Defensor we have kind of an esthetic problem...

If they use TT Deluxe Groove to restore the original leg, then there would be no place for Legends Groove as the chest Piece. I guess they would probably just stick with Rook, and make up a G2 color scheme for him.

But its odd since we saw G2 Bruticus' Box months ago, but no toy pics yet. And of course the looming question...Will Hasbro release a G2 Defensor?

I also think they'll stick to Rook, because...
1. otherwise it would be the first box set (from :HASBRO:

) with just 5 figures in it and
2. they don't give G2 Bruticus the TT mold of Blast Off so I don't think that would change with Defensor.

It would be totally awesome if they exchange the Quickslinger mold in the G2 Bruticus box set with the TT version. :michaelbay:

I would go nuts :BANG_HEAD:

And it would be another substantiation for me to buy that box set instead of the normal Combaticons and Shockwave because the only reason I want that is the G2 deco of Swindle 8-}

It is an odd conundrum.

On one hand... Hasbro made good with Superion and Menasor (releasing extra "limb" Deluxe Class figures of "Quicklinger" and "Brake-Neck"), for those that did not want Alpha Bravo or Offroad.

But Defensor... Did have Groove, just as Legends, and not as Deluxe. And Bruticus does have Blast-Off, just as a Jet, instead of a Shuttle...Kind of hard to "fix" those variances.

(please notice I put fix in quotes, just for lack of a better term. Not to insinuate there was anything wrong with the limbs Hasbro released, even if they were not based on G1 accuracy. I think the variance is nice, and I am actually striving to achieve both)

It's doubtful, but not out of the realm of impossibility. Artwork can easily be changed. maybe that's why we haven't seen any G2 Bruticus toy pics yet? -Also notice on that Box Art, voyager Shockwave looks the same. I'd think they would give him a far-out G2 style paint job like they did Powerglide & Blackjack.

Would love for G2 Bruticus to have TT Shuttle Blast-Off and 4-bladed Vortex while were at it

I read in a John Warden interview from toyfair recently that he said it was a possibility but they didn't have anything planned. I'm paraphrasing, but the tone seemed to imply that it had been spitballed around the office, but nothing had been done with it.

I would source the article, but now I can't remember where I read it.

Thanks for the link. Wasn't aware of the toy Pics. Well that's too bad. Also, Shockwave's differences are minimal, not really feeling the "G2" vibe with him.

Hi people! A little while I was asking about which combiner I should get if I were to get only one. I'm happy to inform you that i've almost completed my defensor! He looks amazing! I wasn't sold on the combiner wars line, but they look so much better up-close! And they are so much fun to play with! I want to get a second one now.. :-P

Which one should I go for next?

I would suggest Computron because you get many totally different molds with him (and different from the ones you already have), you get all in one set, they look pretty cool, you even get the Deluxe Groove mold and it consists of 7 bost.
Or if you prefer a Decepticon to fight against Defensor, get Grand Galvatron (if you can afford it) or Bruticus.

Definitely go for Bruticus. Sky Lynx also makes a great torso. But Bruticus is the best of the retail figures.

Awesome! Good to hear on the Defensor part!

for bots: Either wait for Computron or go find Superion. Both are awesome. I would say Victorion, but if you already have Defensor you may prefer new molds.

As for cons: Go Bruticus. that guy is awesome and looks really good combined! Or mix it up and use Cyclonus and maybe Offroad, Dragstrip, Swindle and a 4th

Either of these are solid. Bruticus is awesome, he even has a ball-jointed neck. But Computron would be a solid way to get a full set and the new Scrounge figure.

Thank you guys once again for all your feedback!
I like Bruticus a lot, too, but he is like 3/5 the same with Defensor. I would rather go for a combiner with different molds. Computron sounds like a good idea. What molds is it going to use exactly? Do we have any idea what will its price be? I'm also interested in Superion, but I can't find its limbs at retail anymore and their prices are soaring online. Unless I go for G2 superion. Any opinions on him? Is Menasor really that bad??
