If they go this route with other combiners, I’m gonna be collecting for a lot longer. I so badly want a modern-engineered Bruticus. Maybe even with voyagers for the limbs.
What’s wrong with the combiner wars Bruticus
fuck no there no longer combiners anymore it just big robot use as his buddy as armor piece
@@mauriciodiaz8315
Combiner Wars Bruticus is good.
🫵 But he could be better.
SAME
While I like Legacy Menasor, I think it’d be a bad idea to rely on this system for the figures whose design doesn’t naturally invite it. I’d rather they mix it up by doing like a leader Onslaught (that does the torso and thighs/knees), voyager Vortex and Blast off (to accommodate for having the combiner articulation natively built in), and a deluxe Swindle and Brawl.
I can see why Motormaster would be viewed as Prime's arch-nemesis but I always really liked the idea of them being road rivals wherein Motormaster completely misses the purpose of actually taking down Optimus. He doesn't care about leading any of the two factions. He just wants to be the best on the road lol. He's so perfect for that and I love that they stuck to it. Truly a madlad mental case with no awareness for war.
Megatron: MotorMaster, destroy Prime!
MotorMaster: Why should I care about that boy scout? He's your problem!
Megatron: Uhh...he's driving on your favourite road! And said your tires are puny!
MotorMaster: LET ME AT 'IM!
I think if they would have thought about Motomaster first. He would have been Optimus Prime's arch-nemesis. But they put a Semi Diesel truck up against a Luger P08 🤔
I like the fact you actually need Motormaster to complete to chest, because on some 3rd party figures Motormaster just becomes a giant backpack for the combiner mode.
The Stunticons were one of my first loves after watching the G1 series as a kid. This legacy Menasor and Stunticon set captures that imagination I had as a kid watching him on the show.
I'm with you 100%, I think this might be one of the best figures we've gotten in 10 years, and one of the best combiners we've ever gotten. They somehow managed to meet all 3 criteria. 1) Show accuracy 2) articulation 3) sturdiness. The Combiner Wars line had some fantastic combiner teams, but they were SO flimsy, and some had downright bad show accuracy.
I've been a Transformers fan since 2001 RID, and while we have had many combiners, they were always awkward, flimsy, or bricks.
This Menasor figure manages to exceed all expectations, and it secretly makes me wish we get this treatment with everyone. I would kill for a show accurate Bruticus and Defensor.
Me too 🔪
When the last 2 come out they should make a TF prime breakdown along with his g1 counterpart
Wasnt Legacy Breakdown rumored?
@@nooby6406a prime breakdown in legacy was a false rumor, apparently an intentional troll
I'd imagine they'd make a reapint/retool of prime breakdown
If so then twice the breakdown double the debt
no because they'll probably be sold only as a set and an exclusive
Fun Fact: Motormaster was supposed to be Prime’s opponent in AOE and not Galvatron
That makes sense.
Stinger should have been wildrider & the rest of the stunticons should have been KSI drones.
How do you know?
I thought that was just Micheal Bay trying to throw people off
Ahhh that explains the truck mode design. Regardless it was still a cool battle. ☺️
He was supposed to be in the 2007 movie too
The engineering and detail for this version of Menasor is insane! I really hope we get to see a Superion later down the line. He's my favorite combiner.
I think if we ever get more Combiners in Legacy itll be the Aerialbots, especially since them and the Stunticons are natural compliments to each other (and the Autobots will need a Combiner themselves to deal with Menasor anyways lol)
I actually think he's the least likely tk be next just because his Combiner Wars figure was consdered one of the beat of that line
For sure a step-up from Combiner Wars with the built-in hands and feet. This will probably be the most G1-accurate Stunticon team that Hasbro will ever release. I'm going to save my money for a Bruticus equivalent, hopefully... I doubt they will be revisiting Devastator anytime soon.
I don't feel like it counts to call these "built in hands and feet" when all they did is make the entire limbs into partsforming attachments that the other stunticons just peg onto in car mode.
Or an improved predaking though they would probaly make it an exclusive
Bruticus was way cooler than Menasor anyway Lol.
@@lonewanderer_9312 I personally thought the last Predaking we got was pretty good, minus the whole attaching the stickers thing.
I dont see any need to redo devastator or predaking as those to were designed to be combiners. I much perfer a proper superion or bruticus
The economy is really bad right now, but I got to have this piece of history. Growing up in the 80s-90s, my Dad bought me (now) vintage transformer toys which I misplaced and lost for good. Buying toys today is not to play but for the memories I lost along the way. I still have combiner wars motormaster, but man, the legacy version makes it looks like it came from the 60s.
The reason there is a break in the purple stripe on the trailer because both the original toy and the cartoon had that break. It has nothing to do with engineering or budget, it is both toon and toy accurate.
I can see a third-party making an extension to the trailer to cover the combiner ports and chest, and add better weapons.
Love this guy. Awesome truck mode, awesome motormaster robot mode and awesome menasor. Can't wait for this set to be finished. I even like the short trailer and the parts forming of it. Just reminds me of the good ole days of g1 toys. Thanks for this awesome review.
I’m so excited for this! The way Dragstrip separates is a master stroke! Bravo Hasbro! 👏👏👏
Easily one of the best looking combiners we’ve gotten. Already got this bad boy preordered (just like almost every figure in wave 2)
What I don't like about the figure is that you should always have the leg stunticons face hood up. Hood down is blasphemy. But for some reason I'm okay with it maybe because our other option is 'inaudible screeching'
The real king of the road.
Now we just need the combaticons.
I'm suprised menasor is smaller than combiner wars devastator.
I was hoping it'd be on par.
CW Devestator was a titan class figure and made up of a bunch of voyager sized figures, while Mensor is made up of four deluxes and a commander class figure.
I would love to see new Aerialbots and Protectobots too.
CW Devastator scale was all kind of WRONG.
He's never that big in the first place.
CBB Devastator is more accurate in size.
They need to stick with the same size for Combiners. Personally, I would want the leaders to be Leader class and the other bots to be Voyagers, not deluxes, so they can be bigger than what we got for Combiner Wars.
@@tartatovsky Wasn't Devastator around the same size as Omega Supreme? And combiners were double the size of Jetfire not the same size
Being the same height as Jetfire makes Menasor look too short or conversely Jetfire too tall.
Regardless of size, it is leaps and bounds above the Combiner Wars version.
Siege Jetfire's always looked too big to me. I don't think it's Menasor's fault, he and the Stunticons look like they're pretty well-scaled to me.
@@vision4860 I think it’s funny, 5 bots and a trailer, are the same size as 1 single Jetfire. Since the Menasor body doesn’t really need the deluxe class members to function… it’s kind of like buying another figure the same size at “Commander Class.” Making Rodimus Prime even more questionable, lol.
@@vision4860 Jetfire should be full Leader Class, like the Dinobots IMHO. Whilst on the subject, shouldn't Skylynx be much larger?
Jetfire is flat out too big.
Motormaster's robot mode transformation is a true work of art. I'm particularly impressed by how they were able to work in the angular shape of his torso.
The Menasor combo looks great, too. Can't wait to see it completed.
Me personally I like when the stunticons that form the legs are out in front and not hidden away
I think we can turn his legs around so the cars will be facing forward so to better match his G1 toy, but will rob him of his knee articulation. Well they chose to go with animation accuracy here
So glad I preordered Motormaster and Wild Rider, cant wait to get the whole crew. Combined form is going to be so awesome!
Man, I am stoked to get him! Thanks for the awesome review!
I jsut got mine pre-ordered today, finally came in stock on Amazon for MSRP. I was already excited, btu seeing this review made my excitement go from standard to as hyped as I am for my 3P windblade coming out later this month. I can't wait until it coems in and then we get the rest of the team.
I think for a Hasbro figure, this is absolutely amazing & could easily compete with some of the 3rd party sets out there for a good value for your money. Now, if only Hasbro will release an updated Rail Racer or a more affordable Raiden 😁😁😁
Amen to Raiden
I’ve watched other reviews but I was waiting so long for a review on this channel
As Tsun Tzu once said
“There is no such thing as a sword that is too big.”
-Tsun Tzu, Art of War
We agree.
-multiple final fantasy characters
At first i was not planning to get this guy, but i saw PvP review, MAN this looks awesome!!! Totally getting this guy, PvP vids never disappoint me at ALL. 👍🏻 Thumbs up for this vid.
Ah-ha those tiny mass-shifted wheels on the feet are adorable!
I just hope all that grey plastic isn't going to discolor like some other recent TFs have.
one thing I like about this is that you can still "combine" them, as each section meant for a single stunticons is a separate Menasor piece.
You can connect Menasor to the torso and upper leg sections, DragStrip and DeadEnd to the arms and BreakDown WildRider first and then combine them all after that.
I can’t wait to get the entire set of Stunticons! I love Dragstrip and Motormaster. I’m a little biased towards Wild Rider. I’m excited to see Breakdown and Deadend!
Thank you for another great review, I always enjoy your presentation and always prefer to watch your reviews over any other even if the came out earlier
I can't wait to have this
this is a cool figure! I think it is extremely accurate and look cool I bet menaser will prob come out this year based on how much they have been making revealing and releasing the legacy figures I cant wait to see how Menaser will look.
THE HYPE.
Robot mode looks brilliant, proportions and colour scheme is super. Can understand the stumpy size to trailer but wish it was longer. Menasor looks ace so far
Agree, the trailer proportions are way off (and same applies to primes trailer).. At least with prime there is an easy fix... Just get yourself a G1 trailer... But no such easy fix for motormaster
I used to be a roadie who worked for local and international bands in Sydney, Australia. I came up with the phrase "Rinse and Repeat" one day at work, because work was just like that. You set up something, then you set up 19 more of just the same. So I started saying "Rinse and Repeat" at work flat out, and it caught on... One of the American tech crews must have picked it up and taken it back home and started saying it in America, and here we are 20 years later I'm hearing it in a toy review!
Kinda wishing I hadn't of done that! LOL
This is amazing. I am with you about how incredible the engineering is. Great video.
I used to feel bad missing out on 3rd party versions of the Stunticons.. some nice variations, but most a bit pricey.
Pretty happy have a chance to get a new and official Transformers version after such a long time. Looking forward to completing the set.
Definitely one of the best Motormasters I have ever seen! Thanks for the demonstration!
I’m so glad that I preordered this guy, cause holy crap he looks phenomenal!!!! I can’t wait to get him and the other stunticons! Fantastic review as always PvP!
I'm just waiting for him to show up on amazon
Then I'm preordering right away
Great video! I'll definitely be getting this figure and the entire set of stunticons.
I'd argue the base with all those 5MM ports around would look totally badass with a few weaponizers.
The figure looks amazing. I just wish that the combined form really NEEEDED the others more than it does as they just look like detailing instead of actual arms and legs. It's not bad, I just wish it was better.
I actually prefer this version. It means you can still sort of use the combined version without actually having to buy the other components
A lot of good here, but the minor bots just feel like decoration so i'd like to see them to be more involved structurally, but i really really REALLY love the "auto transform" bit that happens when you add them on. Step forward, but not a journey complete, but an adventure i'm excited for.
They've always been just decoration in the cartoon. This figure has outdone all of the combiners to date with the exception of the ocular max version of bruticus.
Thanks for the great video, I was struggling to get my new Motormaster transformed into Menasor!
i cant wait for him to come out!!!
Hey primevsprime you ever gonna do a collection review showing how you display all your transformers?
you have so many i wanna see your massive collection all together.
King Poseidon was definitely the best looking of the combiner wars combiners so beautiful even if he can’t pose
when i heared that someone in good ol Australia managed to get one super early, while pre orders state its arrival at Feb next year, i managed to find a video of the guy reviewing it, credit to him he did a good job, but now seeing a review in a higher recorded quality makes me want this even more
Great review! They both look so awesome!
The fact that the trailer splits in half and that the legs disconnect at the knees gives me ideas for extension upgrades I can make for them
The KING of the Road!
Good review. My plans in buying these new Stunticons was mostly for their individual figures allowing Blackjack and Offroad to still be a part of this subgroup.
Got to say this is the best combiner Hasbro has done in the mainline. I would 'love' to see one of the Autobot teams get this treatment. My money is on the Protectobots.
Oh I'd love another Hot Spot!
I would be over the moon if we got a protectobot set that was this good.
as not a combiner
I want the arielbots
I definitely see the way the front of the trailer comes off, opens up an easy way to extend its length with an upgrade kit
Fantastic,I love your videos.Keep up the great work
I never liked any other Stunticons, but THIS is killer. Definitely having him in my collection.
I have been waiting so hard for this
Holy Primus, THIS is a real combiner. The engineering and mechanics of Motormaster is amazing. Definitely blows the Combiner Wars version out of the water.
Now let's see if Hasbro and Takara can remake the Aerialbots, Protectobots and Combaticons. That would be a great challenge for them.
This is the opposite of a "real combiner" as it doesn't actually combine, it is just Motormaster with the addition of optional car armour.
@@CryosisOfficial Well, yeah this version of Menasor is not a traditional combiner, but the fact that the trailer is the exoskeleton and is heavily inspired by the G1 cartoon model is impressive. Hasbro and Takara went all out with Motormaster, and the end result looks amazing.
the target man is in the backroom right now finding Motormaster for me, so excited!!

Great review! It’s an incredible release they’ve done a great job! I just wish on the legs the vehicles were at the front and not the rear of the leg!
I think we can turn his legs around so the cars will be facing forward so to better match his G1 toy, but will rob him of his knee articulation. Well they chose to go with animation accuracy here
My first combiner was UW Devastator so that is my yardstick. When I got CW Bruticus from eBay and I assumed all of the combiners scale with each other. I was incredibly disappointed with the size of CW Bruticus and I was hoping for another combiner to come along and scale with Devastator.
I am getting Menasaur however. What I am hoping to see from third party upgrades are;
- Articulated hands
- Bigger combiner sword
- Maybe a bit of a lift for some height
DNA: Yo!
@@zeronos2844 pre ordered already. I was all over that :)
@@MetalVII and this me who was still reeling from Cybertron Metroplex suddenly goes to preorder again
Was only planning to get these since I love the stunticons and want a collection of them (already have the magic square and Fansproject teams) but now I’m actually excited for them
I can’t wait for this figure looks amazing
The sword can tab into the purple panel on the back of combiner torso in trailer mode to be stored securely.
MotorMaster is one of my favorites, can't wait to get it and the rest of the Stunticons
now THIS is the one ive been waiting for !
:)
I'm so excited for this figure and great video
Finally a decent First party combiner!
Man this figure looks badass i'm glad i pre ordered it
This guy comes out early here in Australia in just a few days, can’t wait to get him
Now I need the Aerialbots! Those were the first ones I watched on the series!
Silly goose, the purple stripe on the trailer is also split in the G1 cartoon.
I love that the legs work with the combiner wars connection types
Amazing what an actual design budget can accomplish
man! i didn't realize he was pretty big and very cartoon accurate!
Yesss haha definitely bigger than I was expecting! Overall a very nice representation of Menasor! Thanks for watching :)
There was that time when I tried to eat a whole oxo cube. It was a bit gritty but the flavour didn't leave me wanting.
Honestly the trailer for Motor master, looks cool because of the hinges and other "kibble" it makes it look futuristic like it about ready to open and show multiple weapons and compartments.
I'm glad they started the whole Legacy combiner thing with Menasor. With some aftermarket feet and hand upgrades, most all of the CW combiners were decent EXCEPT for Menasor. He got the short end of the stick.
The mechanisms in the arms are ingenious, on a similar level to the way Earth Wars Ultra Magnus has a part on his back that slides along a track and completely transfers from one part of the toy to another. Overall this toy looks great and works as a kind of playset. Heck you could even regard him as a robot with his own exoskeleton, a-la Powermaster Prime, and never even buy the other team members.
I personally dislike the 'mass shifting' feet, but it looks like you don't really have to deploy them if you don't want to. Also, I dislike the cartoon accurate hiding of two Stunticons at the back of Menasor's legs, so wonder if they could be switched around.
Looks like the King of the Road has made his debut!
I hope we get legacy Combaticons for the next few months if they make them properly from the G1 show
Menasor is freaking awesome!! Hopefully we get the Bruticus, Superion, and Devastator
Great coverage! Thank you! Man, that looks complicated . . . .
Nice they took some inspiration from the Zeta Superion torso wise, but they took a step further by not cheating the head with a separate piece. Well the Zeta needed that cheat cause it did came with 2 different heads.
The fact that you don´t really need the other characters to have the big guy, the other characters just, fill, which I love
Looks great, I only have one Combiner, a third party Version of the RotF SS Devastator, it's amazing, these Combiners based on the G1 Figures look cool and weird
Great Review. Definitely a Must Buy for me
That torso transformation is easily one of the cleanest I've ever seen
Really excited for this figure, and any other combiners coming soon.
Part of me thinks they could do the same thing with Onslaught, having the cab as the robot and half of the anti aircraft trailer as the skeleton. Maybe they could do the same thing with Hotspot, but idk how they would do Silverbolt.
1:10 Actually I checked the animation model and the broken up strip is indeed cartoon accurate, as well as accurate to the 1986 toy. However I'm sure Toyhax will fix that if it bothers you. :)
Is Wildrider compatible with the arms or only the legs?
Eh, the reason Menasor is like this is because he already had those sort of skeleton like arms and legs that the other Stunticons attached to in the G1 show.
A new Onslaught can definitely form the upper body and waist of a new Bruticus, but given the more thicker and bulkier sizes of the other Combaticons, I think Hasbro can get actual joints into the separate figures rather than doing another skeleton like they did here. They’ve definitely evolved some of their engineering since Combiner Wars.
Wildrider is only the leg
Yeahhhh no, having the combiner as a separate piece that the bots slap on to seems really cheap and lazy to me
maybe silver bolt could have an aircraft carrier inspired landing pad thing?
@@darcepower5023 actually that's not a half bad idea, I like that. Maybe it could work with a Broadside figure too?
That cab gives me mp-ish vibe. Good one from hastak
This just gets me more hype for it. I hope I can get a preorder.
This goes to show that they are paying attention and learning and improving 👌
Pretty cool. I imagine going to need some 3rd party to make at least a decent alternative set of weapons. Something better to scale for Motormaster and for Menasaur. I think he should at least have a decent blaster like the original G1 toy had.
Maybe also make a piece to make the trailer front end a little tidier.
Amazing. Figure exited to get it! I don't like how the bots who go on the leg are on the back.... I would rather them be on the front.
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought this
I think we can turn his legs around so the cars will be facing forward so to better match his G1 toy, but will rob him of his knee articulation. Well they chose to go with animation accuracy here
Motormaster in robot mode is good, I love the fake wheels details on his foot, his trailer could go for a slight darker gray for cartoon accuracy but overall a solid toy.
Great video and great figure! It's been a while since HasTak impressed me but this guy rocks!
Question, if you reverse the legs to have the cars at the front, does it still stand OK or does it lose stability?
He would most likely lose his knee articulation if you do that
This is a massive upgrade and glade the same combiner ports are included
i wish menasor’s fingers were articulate. but great review. this bit has brought some new things to the table.
I'm not particularly a fan of the Stunticons, but this is tempting me to get them now - wow!
i really hope DNA Designs can make something to replace the turret and the gun. i do completely understand why they made it the way they did, but it could use a little more fire power or at the very least make sure the turret thing isn't just left behind after he's completely combined. other then that, this looks like an absolutely amazing character and i can't wait to get him!! great review as well 👍
So fantastic 😊! Motormaster was another my most favorite Decepticon character 😊! I wish this figure not too expensive for me to buy 😅. Menasor was far more superior than Studio series Devastator 😊. What we need now is Breakdown and Dead End to complete Menasor's left arm and Menasor's right leg 😃. Thank you for reviewing my most favorite Decepticon/Stunticon all of time, PrimevsPrime 😊!
Man they really went all out on this one. I personally don't like menasor being just big motormaster with the stunticons taped on, but the engineering in this one is just so clever
Well technically, that's really all menasor ever has been
@@blankstare3775 not at all, menasor wasn't even a combiner once
