The leg proportions are out of whack. And the way that his thighs assemble and connect to the limbs means he has very limited lower body articulation.
Second the way you connect the arm limbs to his shoulders is not very solid at all and tends to come unclipped when moving Menasor's arms.
Third is that the pegs supposed to hold blackjack in place are designed poorly and do not do the job.
It all adds up to a combiner who is floppy and frustrating. I still like menasor but he's significantly less fun to play with then superior or defensor. Mm is clearly less successful and stable as a torso compared to silverbolt, hot spot or even sky lynx. Menasor does end up with the biggest combiner mode, broad shoulders and powerful looking.
YMMV. But it's still a good kids toy and maybe succeeds better as a normal transformer. I really like Motormaster.
