It'd be strange if we didn't get Superion next, considering how the Aerialbots and the Stunticons were always rivals. Hoping if they do Superion next, he can live up to this amazing new combiner.
@@jasonswitzer1748 Well logistically speaking turning a Fire truck into the torso is workable even if they cheat and go for a RID style separated robot from the front end & part of the ladder alone and the back end is all combiner kibble. Commander Class Silverbolt might be proper strange though they could go for a smaller robot that fits in the shell of the combiner parts and the shell comes off and makes a base and legs parts maybe. Such a design would be rather close to being a pretender in concept though & it might even end up with having two jet modes too. I think Bruticus would be the easy and popular choice they might go for though. We also have to consider the alt mode question too ; The Combiner wars alt modes kinda sucked and doing that again would feel like a waste of everyone's time much as Legacy Breakdown feels like a waste of everyone's time too.
I'm hoping any future Combiners manage to retain their third modes from the G1 toy like Motormaster got(For context, all of the Torso Bots from the G1 Scramble City Vehicle Combiner teams had a Base/Emplacement mode that they could go into. Motormaster turned into a base, Silverbolt became a runway, Onslaught became a small base with a cannon, Hotspot transformed into a repair turret, and Scattershot's altmode was a rocket cannon).
He didn't have an "insectoid gun" in the series, a third party company just had the gun for their Menasor able to turn into that insect, which was a plot device in one episode of the G1 cartoon. It was just an accessory that could transform into another accessory
He did have an insectoid gun in the series. It didn't combine into a gun to and he had it for the last few minutes of one episode. That episode was called 'cosmic rust'
he also had the gun in tf devastation, I know that's a modern game, but every single gun that platinum put in the game had at least come up somewhere else in tf media, and menasor's cyclone gun, I think it is called, I'm pretty sure came from g1
Will the knee/thigh connectors not slide in to place backwards? Might be better than rotating the whole waist. Really hoping we get an upgrade kit to allow front facing cars on the leg.
Makes you realize how Menasor was a combiner was always one of the weaker ones since it's mainly Motormaster with the others as armor bits rather than limbs.
Yeah even in the game Transformers Devastation when you first fight Menasor it shows the cars attach to Motormaster's limbs before suddenly turning into full fledge limbs. That's why while i understand the complaints and negative views people have towards this Menasor, for me personally, i'm fine with it.
My cousin was disappointed when he bought Shadowstrip and it doesn’t work on any of the limbs but Dragstrip’s, but he eventually told me it was okay because “Someone needs to man the kibble” :D
for the extra trailer part, I think best solution would have been if they put a couple of extra pegs on Motormaster's arms and/or back wheels in order to connect it on Menasor's back and give him a more squarish/toy accurate look. Not that I complain about the turret (in my headcanon it's the superweapon the Stunticons were building for Megatron in Masquerade) but they could have given us the option.
He looks MILES BETTER than any previous official combiners, save maybe for Devastator (he's still too big for current CHUG). That pose seals the deal 6:22. Looking forward for the DNA upgrade video!
@@PrimeVsPrime iirc, CW Devastator was designed to be in scale with Masterpiece. Individually, they are ridiculously big compared to even their line mate, let alone current CHUG (WFC)👍
Great review! Agree with your thoughts these guys are a must have! I took your wing option a step further and folded them in a little more and plugged the gun piece in the two top holes on one side for a shoulder cannon. And then took the extra gun that hides under breakdown and added that as an extra gun to the top of the new shoulder cannon.
It's nice that Hasbro/TakaraTomy opted to make Legacy Menasor very G1-toon accurate to how he combines. He's aint no Scramble City combiner, which works in his design's favour.
Menasor combines like all the others about half the time, and the canon combination is as a scramble city combiner, as shown in the Japanese Scramble City short & the G1 toy.
I just learned something the box set of Menasor is a different colour than the Individual releases motor master has grey arms instead of white dragstrip and Deadend is made of darker plastic Wildridge gunmetal instead of black all of them have lesser paint jobs and their weapons aren't painted then the trailer is the white is grey and the silver is grey
Saw that Menasor/Devastator comparison, and all I can think is "Titan Class Motormaster and Leader Class Stunticons", as well as "Five Leader Class Dinobots that combine into Titan Class Volcanicus." Wishful thinking, I know, but still.
Great look at Legacy Menasor PrimeVsPrime!!! As great as it is, I'm a little disappointed that the limbs are not interchangeable, which means that Menasor is no longer a scramble city gestalt combiner. :P That said, since I have Motormaster, Wildrider, and Drag Strip in my collection already, I will still get Dead End and Breakdown to complete the combiner. lol Keep on being amazing.
I'm surprised I've seen no pictures of people comparing him next to Superion considering thats who his rival is. I'm keen to see since I've got the PE add on for my unite warriors set and I want to know how well they scale
At first I wasn't too big on getting this set because I like my combiners to be Titan sized like Devestator but damn. He looks so good. Maybe I drop money on him if they release him as a bundle.
Future me: hey there Obitworkenobi Primevsprime realsed a video and said that Hasbro is releasing the stunticons in a big bundle and are making them accurate to the g1 show. Thought I'd tell you
I think he looks absolutely fantastic! I agree 100% on this figure's flaws being his weapons and the extra piece that has nowhere to go. Outside of that, I love how close to animation accuracy he looks, and how much of a freakin brick he feels like. On my shelf, it's hard to lie and say he's not the one one who grabs my attention the most on my Decepticon shelf due to his sheer presence. My Dead End and Breakdown preorders can't be released fast enough!
Am I the only one who feels like Menasor could've been a bit bigger? I know that it had to be that size for marketing, but I feel like it could be like half an inch taller in general. It's probably just me being annoyed that he feels... small next to Commander Class Jetfire.
I've bought G2 Dragstrip aka Shadowstripe so far. I've cut down on Transformers A LOT. I'm a 80's kid and grew up with transformers. However I mostly get G2 homages now.
I waiting on the last car! lol Im looking forward to complete my set! Part of me don't like few things, but using the trailer as the skeleton for a solid figure wasn't a bad idea. Pro con but over all... I love it!
It can unfold and attach to Menasor's back, giving him Dinobot style wings. It's a great way to store it, and doesn't hurt his giant robot form at all, since it is mostly hidden from view by his arms.
Watching this definitely has me looking forward to completing Legacy's Stunticons (still only have Dragstrip, and hoping to get Motormaster and Wildrider around the holidays). And then, as I've mentioned before, I'm also getting Offroad and Brake-Neck from Combiner Wars for the G1 Stunticons to have new recruits, just like how they did it with Combiner Wars. Sure, the hand/foot guns as feet gets rid of ankle tilts, but I'm sure I'll work something out, even if I have to find previously used Menasor upgrade kit feet to do it. Actually PrimevsPrime, I should have asked this in your lastest community post (at this time), but I didn't think about it: is it possible to put Combiner Wars figures in front of the legs by putting the combiner port in the hollow rectangle holes in Menasor's legs if you don't attach Legacy Breakdown and Wildrider to the back of the legs?
@@maciejas2471 Oh, trust me. I know. I'm gonna use Brake Neck from Combiner Wars as a relative to Wildrider (like a brother). And besides, using only one Combiner Wars limb as a leg would make Menasor stand unevenly without getting him into a dynamic pose or using another CW limb as a leg.
Okay, so I think the Menasor set will be my one and only Transformer collection. Ever since getting urge to finally buy my very first figure, I've been going through a lot of the legacy figures, especially the Commander and Titan classes. I was about to get Armada Prime, but hearing about the widely documented QC issues completely killed my interest for it. I did have a look at Jetfire and Ultra Magnus, however they just weren't interesting enough and neither were they without any widespread QC issues. I then starting looking at the Titan class, in the hope that the build quality would improve with the price. Metroplex and Black Zarak seemed to be the best ones in terms of build quality and design, but after looking at dozens of reviews, I realised that these would be far too big to consistently play with and that displaying them would be a huge inconvenience. I then remembered that there was a Legacy commander Motormaster, who I had completely forgotten about, and now his entire ensemble with the stunticons is definitely at the top of my list.
I just used a bit of floor polish on my leg comnections and they are SOLID. I can move the legs just fine and honestly, the leg engineering really helps with solidity.
@@PrimeVsPrime while i'm here... 1. For Motormaster, hold the gun upside down and in both hands, it shows the detail and makes it look more like a giant Cannon. For Menasor, peg it into Dragstrip's arm, combine his and DE's guns and put them on DE. 2. I like to use the leftover piece as a Lightning Rod by flipping up the stand bit, like Menasor uses it to charge up his lightning attacks.
I got this figure and was BLOWN AWAY by the engineering marvel that this toy is. A lot of your points are very fu*king nit picky. This guy is amazing, solid and beautiful! I wasn't expecting it to be half this good!
The combined mode arm falling that happened on mine with with the left arm. You need to open it up and adjust the ratchet to fix it. I opened mine up and did that and it's tighter now. Still though there QC needs to be better for spending $80 on Motormaster there should be better QC.
@@PrimeVsPrime no problem. When I received it and noticed that I opened it up to see if the ratchet was broken or if it was worn down and defective. It looked perfectly fine to me I think mine might have been backwards.
Omg cant believe that i agree with every single one of your thoughts. I even loved your invention of the giant wing! Will definitely grab one, will look so cool with my bla bla commander( forgot the name) combiner optimus. In my country these toys are like 5 times more expensive due to economy(turkey) but i have to buy this although i am tight on budget. It is so great that it doesnt necessarily need other stunticans to form menasor and it is a whole set as a truck, base, robot and giant robot!
2:20 me too I hate there's no color on the legs it's just gray I thought it look bland but I actually start liking it but I still prefer the cars on legs facing front, it adds colors on them
finally someone says something that makes sense, everyone asking for combiners that are not perfet, but are ok, or asking for the same, but to be fair COMPUTRON WAS a pile of SH...!!!! i SUPPORT YOU ON THAT ONE WE NEED A NEW COMPUTRON!!!!
I think the next thing me should be Bruticus. I know there are rumors that they’re doing a FOC version, but a remold with the same engineering should be easy to knock out imo than a whole other combiner like Superion.
You can fix the looseness of menasor’s shoulder (dragstrip) by simply opening that section and flipping the ratchet. I don’t know if this will work in your copy.
I want it so bad. Only Problem is that here in germany, breakdown will release only next february and dead end in Januar + Motormaster ist more than a 100 Euros
"In terms of stability, Menasor absolutely takes a massive dump on Volcanicus" is my new favourite quote.
Looool!
Has there ever been a combiner that was less stable than Vocanicus?
@@Macrochenia yup, as I have had the g1 versions which would fall apart at a nudge.
@@Macrochenia combiner wars Menasor
No chest piece?
It'd be strange if we didn't get Superion next, considering how the Aerialbots and the Stunticons were always rivals. Hoping if they do Superion next, he can live up to this amazing new combiner.
I agree! I would really like some new aerialbots too!
I'd not mind Defensor as he didn't get a G2 version last time and so a new version might get one.
I want Superion, but I bet we get the Protectorbots(?) because that would be just my luck. Lol.
@@jasonswitzer1748 Well logistically speaking turning a Fire truck into the torso is workable even if they cheat and go for a RID style separated robot from the front end & part of the ladder alone and the back end is all combiner kibble.
Commander Class Silverbolt might be proper strange though they could go for a smaller robot that fits in the shell of the combiner parts and the shell comes off and makes a base and legs parts maybe.
Such a design would be rather close to being a pretender in concept though & it might even end up with having two jet modes too.

Makes you realize how Menasor was a combiner was always one of the weaker ones since it's mainly Motormaster with the others as armor bits rather than limbs.
It’s why Menasor was chosen though as it was just Motormaster with cars attached to the limbs rather than actually being the limbs.
Well he still beaten Bruticus at their first meet
Legacy’s interpretation is still a great figure through, hope the other combiners are just as good or even maybe better?!
Plot contrivance. Characters are strong as the story wants thm to be.
Yeah even in the game Transformers Devastation when you first fight Menasor it shows the cars attach to Motormaster's limbs before suddenly turning into full fledge limbs.

Definitely the best combiner that Hasbro’s come out with in a long time, Menasor is great! Hope that we’ll soon get Bruticus and so on!
I agree! As a combiner its cool! But individually some of the team fall slightly short.
Combiner Wars Bruticus is already really good as long as you toss an upgrade set onto it.
@@youmongrel what's the upgrade set?
I don't know, I like Predaking and Volcanikus quite a lot.

I agree! They definitely could have given us the option to block him out more. Could've caused for a cool alternative look!
maybe they could have found a way to turn the extra part into a giant gun?
IN SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS, YOU SERIOUSLY MAKE MY DAY WHEN YOU SAY THAT "HASBRO IS LAZY" BECOZ ITS SO TRUE. LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having the motor master sword being used for the combined mode reminds me of both Power Rangers and transformers armada star saber role-play swords.
Combiners are pretty much fancier Megazords, with a bit more personality. 😅
@@StardustLegacyFighter Yeah.
At least the trailer is more involved in the combination instead of just becoming the whole robot unlike the magic square one

What???? I've gotten all 3 the day it was released and I'm just waiting on the last 2.
Other than the partsforming spoiler on the breakdown, I like all the individual members so this combiner is definitely going into my collection!
I eagerly await future combiners made using the Commander Torso system, especially Defensor and Bruticus.
Can't help but see dead end and wild ride completely cut in half.....then I think back to "Aww Jazz!" Like seriously? Why is he dead??!! Lol

I have drag strip, breakdown, wildrider, and deadend and i am missing motormaster.
Motormaster has eluded me ever since I passed up on one at Target a few months ago. Wondering when he'll be in stock so I can pick him up
I could never find it on target. Skylynx was the only commander class figure that i saw at target.
Two years later, I am waiting on the last of the G2 versions of the limbs for this guy so that I can combine Motor Master with those guys!
I just got Motormaster - have yet to see any of the other Stunticons on shelf. The legs look like they did in the G1 cartoon.
Amazing just simply amazing
Agreed!
Honestly this looks so great but I just wish it did give it a better gun and it did not leave a trailer piece on the side

nice job about Transformers LEGACY Completed MENASOR Combined Review
That extra kibble could have potentially formed extra armor or a shield. Or a great big gun.
It can unfold and attach to Menasor's back, giving him Dinobot style wings. It's a great way to store it, and doesn't hurt his giant robot form at all, since it is mostly hidden from view by his arms.

Will definitely grab one, will look so cool with my bla bla commander( forgot the name) combiner optimus. In my country these toys are like 5 times more expensive due to economy(turkey) but i have to buy this although i am tight on budget. It is so great that it doesnt necessarily need other stunticans to form menasor and it is a whole set as a truck, base, robot and giant robot!
2:20 me too I hate there's no color on the legs it's just gray I thought it look bland but I actually start liking it but I still prefer the cars on legs facing front, it adds colors on them
Can they do a computron as nice as this 😭
That would be neat!
finally someone says something that makes sense, everyone asking for combiners that are not perfet, but are ok, or asking for the same, but to be fair COMPUTRON WAS a pile of SH...!!!! i SUPPORT YOU ON THAT ONE WE NEED A NEW COMPUTRON!!!!
The leftover parts and the hands were what stoped me from buying the Menasor team. Hope the next combiner turns out great.
really, thats whats stopping you?
The question is if we dont get superion which bruticus do we want next
Foc bruticus or g1 bruticus
I would love a FOC Bruticus. The 2011 version is very outdated now
So far I like the Legacy line, I really hope they come out with the very first combiner, Devastator....
Man this is awesome!
Nice vid
Thanks so much!
Your welcome 😊
I think the next thing me should be Bruticus. I know there are rumors that they’re doing a FOC version, but a remold with the same engineering should be easy to knock out imo than a whole other combiner like Superion.
I would love a FOC Bruticus. The 2011 version needs an update ASAP haha
Very nice
Yes sir!
You can fix the looseness of menasor’s shoulder (dragstrip) by simply opening that section and flipping the ratchet. I don’t know if this will work in your copy.
It’s funny Motormaster just hit stores here in Canada Wildrider is the next to release. Dead-end and Breakdown are not due until 2023 here.
I want it so bad. Only Problem is that here in germany, breakdown will release only next february and dead end in Januar + Motormaster ist more than a 100 Euros
Ah I am sorry to hear that :(
have you tried to buy it online?
Man they should have put this guy in the Kingdom line
It definitely would've been an experience waiting 2-3 years for it to be complete haha
@@PrimeVsPrime dont get it... why?
That sword looks like a knife. Menesor still looks cool though.
Haha yes! It’s too small
this is a great review
Great review! I would say I agree with all of it. I need to snag a Motormaster soon!
If you wanted the knees to work with the cars turned around I imagine it's a lot of disassembly to turn the knees around. But maybe could be done!
5:57, is it just me, or does the white plastic piece resemble the connection port for all the combiner wars figuers that became limbs
12:04 ok, nevermind, question answered
This cool video mister primevsprime
Thanks so much!
Can't wait till the upgrade kits
