The windshield folds back further, it gets stuck in the grove in the torso, but pushing it further back till soft click, it should make the backpack not as huge form the front.
Like other combiners they concentrated on the combined form first and individual robots afterwards, so I don't mind much ( if at all ) the design flaws of the individuals, I'm only gonna display them as Menasor. Great review BTW!!! 😃
Great Review!... I ordered two from Toy Arena, through Amazon, as well. Great Seller... Glad I ordered two. Had some difficulty attaching WIld Rider to Menasor's leg. It's an extremely tight fit. Since I wanted two sets of all the Stunticons, one just for a permanent Menasor, this will work well, since I won't being trying to detach him... Willd Rider is a great figure.
I actually live pretty close to Toyarena's physical store and warehouse. Great place to shop. They've got a decent selection of older Hasbro and Takara stuff as well as the new stuff!
Finally seen wave 2 at target but was heartbroken that there was no wildrider asked if they had any in the back and they did so yay. Don't have to worry about trying to buy this online or ebay now. Also wished the stunticons came with a big ridiculous gun to plug in the back like the g1s
Got sick of waiting for this to show up at Walmart/Target/etc. and finally bought one from Amazon and it arrived today. Interesting that even Hasbro used the "alternate" backpack transformation when they were putting this guy in his package. Unfortunately mine has a scratch on the 'con symbol on the car hood. Oh well, already had the Toyhax set ordered and it will be covered up after I apply them.
Just got mine the other day. I am digging these stunticons (backpack and all lol). Though, once I put him on Menasor, he kinda disappeared into the leg...
Every collector is hating on that backpack. I think we all end up keeping it tabbed together. I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed it. Unfortunately, what little we’ve now seen of Breakdown shows he has the exact same hood section as Wild Rider so he’ll end up with the same backpack.
I can deal with that backpack. Doesn't take away from a fun fig. I keep the hood together as well. I did have a time with getting him attached to Menasor. Dunno what was causing the trouble. I await Dead end and Break(down? Neck?) To finish the crew.
I'm actually loving the Cartoon accuracy for the stunticons, just a slight disappointment on the backpack but oh well, for a simple transformation both modes look great!
I'm hoping we get G2 redecos of the rest of the team like we're getting 'Shadowstrip', it'll give me an excuse to have one group for Menasor and one to display the sweet individual figures.
Wildrider is ok. I think a bit of FOMO is at heart since the last one was only briefly available 7 years ago. Just for fun I dug out my Runamuck (the black one) for a side by side with Wildrider. They look closer to twins than him and Runabout (the white one)
At the price these are in now. I really can't accept the peg on the outside wheels anymore. I think I'm gonna semi retire and only pick up ones that don't piss me off as much.
Dude....after seeing the reveal of Breakdown...I'm kinda disappointed that they repainted Wildrider here & slightly retooled him too, just to give us Breakdown...I feel like Breakdown was rushed out the door just to finish up Menasor....I wish Breakdown was his own mold, tbh...it is what it is though, I guess....still though, Breakdown should've been his own mold, just to look more like a Lamborghini & not like Wildrider's Ferrari mode, but white...that was just Hasbro's usual laziness, at their finest....I mean...they've been so good lately, giving us all new molds of these characters & Breakdown couldn't be his own? Like...what the heck, man? I guess I'm being picky here & I know beggers can't be choosers but man, give the last stunticon his own mold, damn it! Rushed man...completely rushed....🤦🏼♂️
When I transformed my Wild Rider I did exactly what you did. The "proper" way is SO STUPID looking. What is with that ridiculous 'T' backpack going on?
The windshield folds back further, it gets stuck in the grove in the torso, but pushing it further back till soft click, it should make the backpack not as huge form the front.
The Windshield can go down further in bot mode. Just gotta move it once and it won’t be as tight in the future
Takes T-Posing to a new level. Still on the hunt for mine. Great video as always!!
I like how (when transformed correctly) the backpack makes it look like he's got a spoiler.
Like other combiners they concentrated on the combined form first and individual robots afterwards, so I don't mind much ( if at all ) the design flaws of the individuals, I'm only gonna display them as Menasor.

The toes tab into the screw holes on abdomen for a tighter more solid vehicle mode
great review , looks to be another home run for legacy. look forward to the rest you have coming up
Great review! The vehicle mode is where this figure shines. Now I'm looking for a miniature Tom Selleck figurine so Magnum P.I. will be complete, lol!
A Gen Selects Magnum P.I. Rider?
Take my money!!!
I find the legs easier to fold in for vehicle mode when I have the arms splayed, keeping the arms for last.
Sweet, I'll try that next time.
Thanks.

Amazon says mine arrives Wednesday

I can almost bet that we'll get a G2 Generations Selects set.

I like the Stunticons, I just wish they were a little larger because it seems the larger the size, the sturdier they are.
At the price these are in now. I really can't accept the peg on the outside wheels anymore. I think I'm gonna semi retire and only pick up ones that don't piss me off as much.
Its gonna be awesome to have the whole set. Hasbro screwed it up with the wonky release schedule.
Is this the first we see you with no hat? Idk anymore lol.
Actually this is the 3rd one. 😉
@@PatriotPrimeReviews well in that case, look look good without a hat tbh.
You still complete me.
Virtual hug!
I see the tech specs changed function from T E R R O R I S T to W A R R I O R . Hmm I wonder why ? . < /sarcasm >
I caught that too.
