Transformers Legacy Motormaster New Stock Images & First Look At Menasor Body

[wesperino]

After watching the pulse stream, I?m sold. This looks amazing and the way the trailer becomes the skeleton and how the cars attach looks great imo.

However, given I never thought they'd even bother with CW ports for this new Menasor, I can't imagine they would only do it halfway. I feel like they're doing it like 90% sure it is a conscious thought of some kind...

Phooey. Watched the livestream and no mention of CW compatibility. The arm transformation was pretty clear, I think there are no CW ports for the arms. Kind of sad it's just a Godbomber situation again. I'm still excited for how he looks compared to CW/UW Menasor, which was a floppy mess. But it would've been such a cool reveal to talk about CW features...

I don't hate it. If this method of "combination" provides better articulation and more stability than most of the CW figures, I'm all for it, even if it means Menasor is a skeleton with other robots hanging off it.

The pricing, however, is a real gut punch. This might be the last combiner I collect if pricing and inflation is going to drive up the cost of plastic robots this much.

37*4 + 125 + tax

comes to $308.

Almost same price when I paid for my FPJ Menasor, even that's 10 years old design, but I still think looks better than this.

That's supposed to look more like the animation model? I disagree. The main torso might look more animation accurate, but I see Dragstrip and Dead End forming the entire arms of Menasor in the animation model. I DON'T see them hanging off a a scrawny grey skeleton. And I don't see them breaking in half with a huge gap where their elbow would be. Sorry, I'm not convinced. This doesn't look great.

Oh, I don't like it either way. That's what they're going for. People on tfw are dreaming themselves over it. I don't like Menasors animation model and I don't like an expensive combiner that doesn't even combine.

At least confirmed on the Godbomber sitch; this pic def shows what appears to be a CW-style combiner peg visible at the underside of the knee

Holding out hope that there's a shoulder port system as well, though agreed that I didn't see it
The arms appear to be detachable; they wouldn't really skimp on that would they? *sweatdrop*
