I am surprised, no one has made an "Autobot" version of Menasor with Optimus Mirage Jazz Sideswipe and Wheeljack( who cares about Windcharger). The trailer does most of the work, and the full cars just attach to the body.
I mean Menasor is LITERALLY just some cars glued onto the limbs of a robot. Other combiners you could reasonably complain about not being “all inclusive” but an all-inclusive Menasor that looks accurate to the original design is literally impossible to do. The fact that the body is an actual transforming component that integrates into the alt-modes already puts it miles ahead of something like the Newage Devastator, which straight up just has a non-transforming hunk of giant robot that the vehicle modes peg onto.
after seeing legacy, I'm glad hasbro used this style of combination for menasor, but I'm seeing people complaining how motormaster doesn;t transform with his trailer. I mean....the only motormaster to transform with the trailer is fanstoys, and it doesn't even combine. the other's they just used the trailer as a "platform" for the stunticons to merge. the weird thing is when 3rd party do this style for motormaster, using the trailer to combine, people are fine, but when hasbro does it, people complain about it.
There are definitely people who hold Hasbro to unreasonable standards and talk shit about everything they do while frothing at the mouth over new 3P reveals. Fandoms sometimes….
This is probably one of my fan favourite menasor toys after the combiner wars one,its really unique and accurate,especially the sword and the head,and i love the menasor pose with starscream,neat
@@PSYCHOWORLD The CW version becomes a lot better if you get Wildrider (BrakeNeck) to complete the proper original team, and then use Offroad to bulk up the back of Menasor. It's not difficult, and makes him look ten times better. Mistransforming the hips so he doesn't look like he's got a painful crotch infection really helps too. Bigger feet and nicer hands would be a bonus for sure, but there are upgrade sets to take care of that too.
The reason Drag Strip has the extra parts is because of a molding error with the panels that makes it not sit right, I'm pretty sure that's why but I might be wrong. Also, don't forget to turn around Dead End's hands in vehicle mode
Worst part is that apparently, nobody learned from it; there's another KO out there by MHZ Toys ("Tigerwing") that's basically a box set of all five Stunticons...but Deadend has the same problem as the BW version (the back half doesn't sit well on the panel for arm mode).
I just got this set and I had issues with Deadend too. He broke in 3 places while I was trying to transform him. I wasn't to upset because everything tabs together well and i basically got him for the Menasor mode. Plus im putting together the Legacy version right now. Just need Wildrider and Breakdown. But he does look awesome. I like how you switched up the legs and have the cars in the front. I may do that with mine. Great Video!
I've been on the fence about which one to get. How does Legacy stack up to this one? I believe Legacy is a bit larger, but does he tower over the Magic Square KO? Any more info would be appreciated. Cheers!
I wish I could get the Motormaster cab by itself cause I love the look of that figure and he's always been my favorite of the Stunticons by far. I'm really hoping the Legacy one is dope af!
honestly, all I want from the upcoming Menasor is for Motormaster to transform into robot mode using the entire truck and trailer like the G1 toy, and a 3rd party one I can't remember
It’s FansToys that incorporates the trailer. That thing had some very fancy engineering though. Well beyond chug scale. I think they will either do it like the Netflix series ultra magnus or the trailer will just be a base/ parts forming for menasor
the only problems i have with this is my copy the motor master waist comes off easily and doesn’t fold up properly for the menasor mode and one arm is super floppy
Unite Warriors Bruticus is pretty decent far as official figures go, the problem with the CW Menasor is the torso, it really is lacking and someone was attempting to try and squeeze a Optimus prime out of the mold and that came at the cost of a descent Motormaster and Menasor, it was the worse combiner torso in the whole trilogy, the other torsos were much more stable thou not perfect but they worked!
@superomegaprimemk2 I actually prefer Combiner Wars Blast Off's jet mode compared to the Unite Warrior's space shuttle mode. It fits the militaristic aesthetic a bit more, and the sizing is slightly less unrealistic.
I don't want them to redo Bruticus! I got CW and got some 3rd party upgrades for it including the toyhax stickers (so glad on this one), better shoulder blasters, and guns that look just like G1 but combine into a super rifle.
it looks great, Il give it that, but Im just not a fan of frame types, though this does mean you could just get some shells made that look like the stunticons and peg those onto the frame so you can have the combiner and the bots separately. Just for clarity, this wasn't a compliment.
I like Legacy Menasor more. Motormaster feels more needed than most third party versions. like, this version of Motormaster becomes a backpack. Legacy Motormaster becomes the head, and the connection points for the shoulders.
I saw a video of a bootleg transformers combiner where combiner is actually just wearing the cars and instead of combiner parts, it’s just a whole robot that doesn’t even transform into anything, so it’s only purpose is to attach the members to its limbs and body.
All I want is for someone to make a menasor where the carbots actually become the limbs rather than being worn like accessories. To date the only ones that did that were G1 and Combiner Wars.
The Transformmission set _kinda_ does that. Drag Strip and Dead End do become the arms, but you still need to partsform the hands to them. Wildrider and Breakdown do attach to leg pieces, but they do look more essential to the combined form than most of the other sets. ALSO: Sadly, people forget that this kind of combination is in line with the G1 aestethics. Motormaster essentially was Menasor by himself and the rest of the Stunticons were literally worn as attachments. So most companies doing him want to stay in line with that design.
@@DzznuttsEniomouf Which is one of many reasons I prefer you accuracy over animation accuracy. Usually I go for a nice middle ground, but the way they designed Menasor in animation was full on retarded.
Can’t you also have the cars on the arms actually for secondary arms? I saw a review of the official copy and there was an option to remove the grey arms and use the cars themselves. Not the best looking option but it was cool they managed to engineer that in.
I did do that for a few seconds in the video. But on the ko version the elbows are so weak that they only stayed on for a few seconds. That's why you only see it once in my video
@@ThatToyGuy Ah okay. That’s a bummer. I still prefer the method you liked though. Hoping Legacy does the same thing. Considering that Dragstrip splits apart.
The individual robots are still smaller, like Legends class or small end Deluxe class size (with Motormaster being closer to typical Deluxe size); as said in the video, Menasor is about on par with Combiner Wars.
I honestly wish these bootleg companies would just make these figures upscaled to look nice on a generations display. Because I am not paying these over 150 bucks for a Menasor
I don’t like how the majority of Menasor is just the trailer and the Stunticons are literally just dressing for a body that already exists. He’s barely a combined at this point. There might as well be six Stunticons.
Soooo Magic Square’s whole thing is smaller figures. The somebody took this and said *yeah hey what if big tho* Also A bad knockoff is a knockoff. A good knockoff is a third party. Think about it. :)
My friends and I use them quite a bit. And their customer service has been great to me. However, a couple people have told me the service they got wasn't the best in their experience
Pretty nice for a KO. I also missed out on the official version but I did pick up the MS Devastator. I LOVE the Devastator and I hear the Menasor tops it in every way so I'm pretty envious of those that have it.
Had and it's annoying af. Arms always fall off, elbows are entirely busted, and wilder rider and breakdown can't even connect properly. No joke I liked the individual cons way better than the combined forms. Which defies the purpose. Ended up selling it. Might get that 2 pack with breakdown and wild rider again though. They were my favourites.
Given how small Deluxe class figures can be now - example being that NewAge's Megatron and SS18 VW Beetle Bumblebee are *_the same height_* - and that the combined mode is about 11", putting it about an inch shorter than the likes of the Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors/Power of the Primes Combiners...I'd say that it can work.
Sadly Motormaster still suffers from inaccuracies I see. Most toys refuse to get him right but I have seen at least one that did get him right. The trailer cannot disconnect from the cab. The cab becomes part of Motormaster's feet while the trailer becomes everything else.
I’ve never really liked the original Menasor design;and it’s not just because the stunticons don’t actually combine,I just don’t like how it looks;them not really combining is part of what makes the design look terrible to me,but that isn’t the main reasons I don’t like it. I honestly kinda prefer the CW Menasor over it. But atleast with the Legacy line the people that do like it will get what seems to be a great main line Menasor.
I don't understand what you mean by not liking the original Menasor design because it doesn't look like it combines. The combiner wars Menasor basically is an iteration of that design minus the arms under the cars.
Well, Wild rider looks better in this set...Motormaster too..somewhat. Menasor's legs are better on this one. Im still looking forward to Legacy, but the KOs did some things better.
Still can't get over the fact that Motormaster is the same height as the rest of the team in this magic square set. I'll pass on this one. Don't get me wrong, I love and own their Devstator. FansProject is still the best because the trailer becomes Motormaster and Motormaster still towers over the other 4 in the MotorSquad set.
@@tartatovsky Taller? Only a head taller. Compare this to Motormaster done properly which is FansProject, he should be more than twice the height of the other 4 members. I hated all battle stations on G1s such as Ironhide and Ratchet and Rodimus Prime because they were not on the show and because that's not the way they transformed on the show so I like FansProject Menasor and DX9's Rodimus Prime who transforms without his stupid looking battle station and without that false front in the Hasbro version.
@@tartatovsky Motormaster in the magic square set still dwarfs Silverbolt on my similar height Superion set and my Fansproject Motormaster. The Fansproject is the right scale because Motormaster is only slightly taller than Silverbolt and the rest of the team dwarfs their leaders. The G1 transformation of Motormaster is my preference.
I am surprised, no one has made an "Autobot" version of Menasor with Optimus Mirage Jazz Sideswipe and Wheeljack( who cares about Windcharger). The trailer does most of the work, and the full cars just attach to the body.

I totally agree!
Instead of windcharger it’s sideswipe

I'm glad you give honest reviews. So many people always just give positive reviews it's ridiculous.
If you turn Deadend's hands around (so they're facing outward) the Altmode sits together a little better.

I'm hoping for updates of more combiners, like the Protectobots.
And Superion
@@onedeep97 Combiner Wars Superion was honestly already amazing, imagine what they could do with some modern engineering!
Awesome! Menasor, Devestator' Omega Supreme, and Bruticus were my favorite combiners from the G1 show.

10:20 Look, at least it’s done better than NewAge Devastator.
Part of me wants to get the components of Legacy Menasor... while the other part of me wants to wait and see if they redo Bruticus.

Rumor is that if Menasor does well, Bruticus will be next. But again that's a rumor

@David M can never have too many combiners lol
it looks great, Il give it that, but Im just not a fan of frame types, though this does mean you could just get some shells made that look like the stunticons and peg those onto the frame so you can have the combiner and the bots separately.
Just for clarity, this wasn't a compliment.
Yea Menasor is awesome. Can't wait for the Hasbro version!
that is the PERFECT scale!
9:49 The trailer turns into a whole robot? That’s like as if the stunticons had a cheat code!
Do you have any problem with waist tabbing on the motor master
Can't wait for legacy Menasor to be fully released.
"I need to ask you a question."
"What."
"Why are you wearing a tie?"
Cool review is this the tigerwing mini-07 or a different one ?
Though larger knockoffs, this set looks awesome and amazing! I absolutely love this coverage and appreciate it!

It would be cool in legacy. First dragstrip as a deluxe and the rest of 3 also deluxe. Make motor master a leader or commander class.

How would you compare this to the official Hasbro version?
This is cool. But let me know when its an Oversized figure
