Classic stuff. G1 figures might not be best for today's standarts but they are surely nostalgic for us older collectors. After all those were out when we were kids.
Been looking at a lot of the reviews basically as I'm looking to get a Scramble City combiner (basically my first full one, as a kid I only ever had Swindle and Fireflight) and saw the Menasor KO set on Ebay - great review! :D
It's nice to see that Motormaster has his factory stickers. The pics on kotoys.com show him without the stripes, and thats what was preventing me from getting this set. Looks like my doubts are gone now - thanks for the review.
@TheRusty26 That's pretty much how I saw it as a kid. And aside for Devastator and Predaking, the other pairs were all opposites of each other. Air vs. Road, Brains/Tech vs. Brawn/Monsters, Combat vs. Rescue. The only ones I ever had trouble pairing off in G1 were Piranacon (Seacons) and Monstructor (Pretender Monsters).
I always paired Devastator with Omega Supreme, Menasor with Superion, Bruticus with Defensor (though I don't think the cartoon ever showed them fight), Sky Lynx with Predaking and Computron with Abominus.
i think it was Menasor vs. Superion , Computron vs. Abominus , Bruticus vs, Defensor, Predaking vs. Skylynx, Devestator vs Dinobots . I think these guys were each others arch-enemies . Devestator and Predaking were the only combiners that their mortal enemies wasn't a combiner .
personally, i like to think of omega supreme and devastator as arch enemies. The dinobots were also kinda fill that role at times, but with omega and devy's past it seems more fitting to me. that is just my opinion; i am not trying to be rude.
I remember as a kid I managed to piece together my Menasor from a Dragstrip, Motormaster, Swindle and 2 others that seems to be knock offs that where roughly 65% die cast metal and one looks like a yellow Breakdown either way they oddly have more possibility in the waist area that ment that as arms they insanely possible, shame I had no combiner parts but hey I got them for mere pennies. that said I really wish they'd do a remake that was up their at least with the devy that Rumble frenzy made.
@Ramseskun that's the same idea for all of the Scramble City combiners. it was central body part combiner piece. and Limb pieces 1 through 4. But in the show (until RID/Car robots RUination) They attached in the same way on the show and comics.
Peaugh, awesome reviews dude! I have this remake set too of G1 Menasor, which I ordered a few weeks ago. I will get the G1 Aerialbot/Superion remake in the near future! G1 forever fan!!!
This looks like a great set! They look pretty much spot on to the originals. Are there any noticable differences the original G1 Stunticons and this version ?
I ordered this set off the KOtoys, and I'm so antsy to get it in the mail. Not that it'll make a huge difference to me, but are those red/pink Decepticon insignias on Motormaster's arms, or is it the lighting? Nothing a little reprolabel won't fix, but I'm just curious. =-).
where did you get this knock off at.i've been wanting a menasor since i was little,back when i was 10 because he was my favorite bad guy combiner and still is
Generations should make a stunticon 5-pack, only they can't combine. Energon Rodimus-Motormaster Classics prowl- Dead End, Wildrider Energon Prowl- Dragstrip Cybertron Hot Shot- Breakdown The reason they can't combine is because it'd be more likely for hasbro to make the five-pack if they're redecos cuz they're cheaper to make.
my way of the combiners pitting against each other 1. devastator at dinobots 2. bruticus at defensor 3. menasor at superion 4. computron at abominus 5. piranacon at raiden 6. predaking at ...... um, broadside? omega supreme? sky lynx?
Im surprised you didnt mention Motormasters trailer base thing, it ioens up and has a ramp for the tiny car, not much, but its a neat little "wanna be prime" feature lol
Abominus vs. Computron, Omega Supreme vs. Devastator, Predaking vs. Sky Lynx! That is also the order of equally-matched adversaries in the Transformers canon! Metroplex vs. Trypticon and FM vs. Scorponok!
WILLIE FRANCIS + I am also a G1 fan. Your lineup of adversaries are 100% correct. It seems that no one knows that Menasor is always against Superion. Hence the episodes "The Key To Vector Sigma: Parts 1 & 2". I hope you are enjoying your Stunticon subgroup(which is my favorite combiner)and looking forward to getting The Aerialbots to merge into Superion.
Um, actually, if you read the comics and watch the show (which I'm sure you have. No disrespect intended) you'll see that Superion and Menasor were rivals with each other, whereas Defensor was the main enemy of Bruticus. Sorry to hav a little bit of a geek-out moment, but I figured I should point that out. Like I said, I'm not trying to be rude. I rather like all your transformers reviews, especially the one with Fortress Maximus. I just figured I should let you know.
i got a g1 menasor KO (a real KO) for 3 dollars it broke when i tried to take this drill guy that came as his leg out then again i was 6-7 and i didn't know much about transformers i just saw giant robot with gun
Are u serious peaugh? I appreciate your imagination. However, you must not have the g1 cartoon collection. Clearly, a two part episode called "The Key to Vector Sigma" introduces the Stunticons-made to fight the Autobots on the road, while Optimus follows suit and creates the Aerialbots-to fight the flying Decepticons. There's my 'good deed for the day'.......
Motormaster is quite ugly, and thus Meansor is too. Hot Spot makes for a much better torso. Plus First Aid and Blades are thicker, thus their folded down necks are shorter so they are not that far from the torso like Breakdown and Drag Strip.

Great review, Peaugh. I like the retro ones just as much as the new stuff. It makes for a nice variety.

My cousin once gave me a KO Dragstrip. He was on my desk so I always played with him instead of doing homework lol!
I remember when these came out i thought the colours were too wacky and unrealistic. If i only knew what was to come! Now i want them :)
I always paired Devastator with Omega Supreme, Menasor with Superion, Bruticus with Defensor (though I don't think the cartoon ever showed them fight), Sky Lynx with Predaking and Computron with Abominus.
i think it was Menasor vs. Superion , Computron vs. Abominus , Bruticus vs, Defensor, Predaking vs. Skylynx, Devestator vs Dinobots . I think these guys were each others arch-enemies . Devestator and Predaking were the only combiners that their mortal enemies wasn't a combiner .
I actually clapped when you said " Give him a hand".
personally, i like to think of omega supreme and devastator as arch enemies. The dinobots were also kinda fill that role at times, but with omega and devy's past it seems more fitting to me. that is just my opinion; i am not trying to be rude.
This is Motormaster. He roller-skates on 2 halves of a semi truck. He is now the greatest robot ever.
I remember as a kid I managed to piece together my Menasor from a Dragstrip, Motormaster, Swindle and 2 others that seems to be knock offs that where roughly 65% die cast metal and one looks like a yellow Breakdown either way they oddly have more possibility in the waist area that ment that as arms they insanely possible, shame I had no combiner parts but hey I got them for mere pennies. that said I really wish they'd do a remake that was up their at least with the devy that Rumble frenzy made.
@LolAttack2K11 Cause they're the pegs to attach to motormaster. Then they combine
@Ramseskun that's the same idea for all of the Scramble City combiners. it was central body part combiner piece. and Limb pieces 1 through 4. But in the show (until RID/Car robots RUination) They attached in the same way on the show and comics.
I definitely agree, blastersteeljaw! With the TF equally paired-up adversaries!!!
this seems much more stable than the other combiners
Peaugh, awesome reviews dude! I have this remake set too of G1 Menasor, which I ordered a few weeks ago. I will get the G1 Aerialbot/Superion remake in the near future! G1 forever fan!!!
I paired them up the same way. I think mostly that's how the show did it? I alway had Predaking vs Dinobots in my head as well.
No it’s:
Raiden and Devastator
Defensor and Menasor
Superion and Bruticus
Computron and Predaking
Sky Lynx and Abominus
Looks like a very nice KO.
Know where I can get a set? I love the Stunticons and wouldn't mind picking up a set.
Great review =)
This looks like a great set! They look pretty much spot on to the originals. Are there any noticable differences the original G1 Stunticons and this version ?
Where can i get this great replica [KO] And how much is it?
I ordered this set off the KOtoys, and I'm so antsy to get it in the mail. Not that it'll make a huge difference to me, but are those red/pink Decepticon insignias on Motormaster's arms, or is it the lighting? Nothing a little reprolabel won't fix, but I'm just curious. =-).
Hey Peaugh, I was wondering if you were planning on getting the Fansproject Not-Menasor, and what your opinion on the prototypes were?
wasn't Deadend the left arm ?
wats a gestalt?
where did you get this knock off at.i've been wanting a menasor since i was little,back when i was 10 because he was my favorite bad guy combiner and still is
Raiden v Devastator
Superion v Menasor
Defensor v Bruticus
Computron v Abominus
Dinobots/Volcanicus v Predaking
wasn't menasor against superion because they were made at the same time?
do the rubs really work? I thought you said they were ko how did they get away with that?
My KO came with computron parts... So I might have to get this.
@artnandez They were rivals in the cartoon.
@Peaugh, Do you rely on King Roy? apparently hes a bamf of a lawyer :O Hes got VHS quality commercials on RUclips!
hey Peaugh, if you were a combiner, which would you be?
there can never be too many robots!
no its omega supream and devestater, superion and menesor, bruticus and defensor, abonimus and computron
great review!
Blastersteeljaw, you hit the nail on the head
your one of my favoite toy reviewers
Generations should make a stunticon 5-pack, only they can't combine.
Energon Rodimus-Motormaster
Classics prowl- Dead End, Wildrider
Energon Prowl- Dragstrip
Cybertron Hot Shot- Breakdown
The reason they can't combine is because it'd be more likely for hasbro to make the five-pack if they're redecos cuz they're cheaper to make.
i think menasor deserves an update like a FULL COMBINER update like bruticus in fall of cybertron
Horay for retro intros!
didnt predaking have sky lynx as his rival?
Breakdown is left leg & Deadend is right arm of Menasor
it would actually be:
1. devastator and omega suprme
2.superion and menasor
3.bruticus and defensor
4.predaking and sky lynx
5.computron and abominus
Exactly, my friend.
@billum256 Same.
my way of the combiners pitting against each other
1. devastator at dinobots
2. bruticus at defensor
3. menasor at superion
4. computron at abominus
5. piranacon at raiden
6. predaking at ...... um, broadside? omega supreme? sky lynx?
you never mentioned Liokaiser
I love peppering in the phrase suck it :)
Im surprised you didnt mention Motormasters trailer base thing, it ioens up and has a ramp for the tiny car, not much, but its a neat little "wanna be prime" feature lol
My only problem is that I would always know its not vintage. The plastic is ususlly better w original the fit the color etc. Great ko review though!
Abominus vs. Computron, Omega Supreme vs. Devastator, Predaking vs. Sky Lynx! That is also the order of equally-matched adversaries in the Transformers canon! Metroplex vs. Trypticon and FM vs. Scorponok!

I have Defensor, and I would like to have Menasor but I only have Motormaster...
motormaster was always my fav
i have the generations drag strip
I think of the seacons being enameis with the trainbots.
I like G1 dragstrip
Breakdown's a leg, Dead End is the arm!
Um, actually, if you read the comics and watch the show (which I'm sure you have. No disrespect intended) you'll see that Superion and Menasor were rivals with each other, whereas Defensor was the main enemy of Bruticus.

omg this transforemer is old i had this whne im was 5 when i went to HOng kong
the transformer way of saying combiner essentially
I think he said socket but it did sound like suck it didn't it
SWEET
I once had devastater
They look like new KO transformers
i got a g1 menasor KO (a real KO)
for 3 dollars
it broke when i tried to take this drill guy that came as his leg out
then again i was 6-7 and i didn't know much about transformers
i just saw giant robot with gun
nice.
It's gotta be a headache being any of Menasaur's limbs... O_O
wow every time i see these guys in ko one is missing and was replaced with a tecnobot
I think
Its acldic but it looks asome
Has anyone else bought Transformers from KOTOYS.COM?
@artnandez kinda of
KO Gestalts?? If they make a Liokaiser i'm all over that like a fat kid on cake.
Three people dont have this set.
Kinda cheesy, but cool.
this arm, suck it?? ... oh, socket! :P
KO toys are easily breakable, even they copied perfectly the exact replica. The originals of the classic are very rarely to be found.
superion and menasor are enemies
DEVASTATOR SAYS BRUTICUS IS IDIOT
Bobby Geary actually it's menasor and defensor
well SORRY, but that's how i like to do it
Are u serious peaugh? I appreciate your imagination. However, you must not have the g1 cartoon collection.

There's my 'good deed for the day'.......
good deed?
Jay Beezy usually in most continuitys menasor and defensor are enemies
lol.com
Motormaster is quite ugly, and thus Meansor is too. Hot Spot makes for a much better torso. Plus First Aid and Blades are thicker, thus their folded down necks are shorter so they are not that far from the torso like Breakdown and Drag Strip.
wow, Motormaster is stoooopid :)
