My nephew bought me this set and I got it earlier today. I was able to figure out all four limbs and Motormaster's transformation, but not MM's gestalt mode. Thank you for a wonderful step-by-step video!
Thanks so much for this! I'd be lost without your video. I wish that those last 2 panels on top (end of transformation in the video) pegged in a little more securely. And popping out the wheels to go back into truck mode: one of mine is a beeeotch to rotate!
I'm really hoping Legacy will have Optimus Maximus using these modes. An update for that combiner would be awesome and an amazing mate for the Menasor.
@@johnnydoedoe400 I agree with you! I saw someone on twitter doing a Digibash by taking pictures of these guys but making them into optimus and the others. Which was referencing the Episode where optimus and others pretended to be motormaster and co to trick megatron.
@@justinpritt7897one of them used their magnetism powers to keep them together, and I remember they also used Mirage’s illusions to make a pho head, and they also used Camo paint or something like that
I transformed my Motormaster from truck to bot. Waited a few days, then couldn’t figure out how to get him back truck mode anymore. Thanks for the video.
I'm very happy with how well made Menasor and his trailer are. Everytime I handle this guy, I smile. And the trailer is so thick and robust. It feels good to have a commander class trailer that's not just a box with a gun inside. Loving this Legacy Motor Master and Menasor combiner parts.
The trailer hitch part that is supposed to fold (at 2:17 in the video) then go over his head and peg in the back will not budge. I have no idea what to do with out breaking it.
Man, I absolutely love your just transform it videos as it saves me time from having to dig for the instruction manuals as sometimes it's too complicated or sometimes I haven't transformed them in so long I've forgotten. God bless Merry Christmas.
really wish they did a different lower leg connection for combine mode my copy does not lock in knees bend fine straightening them out makes them release and the rear truck wheels are awful heres hoping for an upgrade kit
Turns out you CAN hang the gun pylon part off of Menasor ... sorta. There's no tabs or posts to hold it in place, but it'll stay on his back reasonably well if you mostly put it back in the U shape it attaches to trailer mode as, then jiggle it on around the arms/wheels backpack so the little multi-5mm-port side pieces hook onto the top of the torso on either side of his head. They're the only parts that even show from the front and his heel plates are already super long, so it looks decent enough and won't really take up more space on the shelf.
This Motormaster is of Masterpiece quality. I love him. Bought an extra of all the Stunticons so I can keep one as Menasor and the others in their robot modes. I rarely do this but I am just that impressed. I hate the giant gun he comes with so I just went in my bag of assorted weapons and found a properly sized blaster for him to use and Menasor can keep the oversized weapon. I do agree with everyone that Hasbro really screwed us over with Breakdown after 4 figures of excellence but not much we can do about that. I do like the cartoon accuracy of him and Wildrider being the back legs with their undercarriages as the front parts. I'll give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars due to many issues especially Breakdown. Have to be a little kind due to this is the first gestalt (combiner) to come out in this wave. Hoping Superion or Defensor are the next ones released. Love these just transform it vids you do. Please keep up the vocals and good work because like someone else said that it really helps to show where so many tabs and such go.
This is great. glad there's 24 hours in a day in order to have enough time to transform this thing into menasor. it could be slightly more complicated.. I'm thinking they're going to stay in the box. Lol
WORD OF CAUTION: i got my motormaster last week, and, during the third or fourth time i transformed him into menasor, one of the gray tabs on the chestpiece (that was part of he trailer) that flip up to lock motormaster into place (the ones on either side of the head; you can see them in the above picture) snapped off. this was during normal use. the black pieces that the gray pieces are attached to the chestpiece with sheared off. as someone who refurbishes and fixes toys, i found this break to be unrepairable - attempting to glue it back together would cause the gray piece to be unable to move at all. the amount of plastic on the sheared-off black piece is so tiny, and the clearance between it and the gray place is basically non-existent. fortunately, hasbro is going to replace the broken part. unfortunately, they can't just send the chestpiece and i need to mail back the entire toy. every other time i've broken a figure (except the shoulder joint on king of the snipers - that one is just very poorly designed [the joint, not the whole figure]) has been my fault. this is the first time i feel like it was an endemic problem with the toy's design. and, as i said at the start, this was only the third or fourth time that i manipulated the pieces in question, i was using it as designed, and i did not in any way force it. overall, i love the figure. this has nothing to do with that. i just want people to be aware that this is a very real thing that could happen to anyone and that it is (unless you are unbelievably skilled and/or are a jedi) nearly impossible to fix without impacting functionality.
The arms, which are tabbed into the trailer portion, was so freaking tight I thought I was going to break it while trying to untab his arms. It took a lot of force to get it out and so the next time I transform him, I'm going to have to not tighten it down so much.
Iwasnot sure if iwas gonna like it but wow.its very impressive asit looks toon accurate. With lotsof articulatonvery happy with it.ireall wish hevwoud have had gun as in cartoon .but thats my only beef
The way this menasor combines is not my favorite. You're just attaching their car modes to menasor's arms. that's not combining! I like the combiner wars/unite warriors one better
@@emgo316 What I mean is that menasor's arms are just drag strip and dead end split in half and attached to a big block. I like it better when a combiner's limbs are'nt just a vehicle mode attached to an arm but a 3rd separate mode
Everything looks good except the trailer, it involves too much parts forming and leaves leftovers pieces too! Doesn't look very good as a trailer either... I hope in a third party trailer that doesn't need partsforming and look better
My nephew bought me this set and I got it earlier today. I was able to figure out all four limbs and Motormaster's transformation, but not MM's gestalt mode. Thank you for a wonderful step-by-step video!
What is the gestalt mode in this case? I searched it up, and in English, it is 'unified' or 'whole'
I prefer the talking while transforming the figure so it helps to find where everything fits
Totally. Very helpful
Menasor keeps getting better with every step of the transformation. This is premium main line transforming.
Honestly it's your videos like this that help me out alot. Thank you for making the JTI series
Glad you like them! :)
Thanks so much for this! I'd be lost without your video. I wish that those last 2 panels on top (end of transformation in the video) pegged in a little more securely. And popping out the wheels to go back into truck mode: one of mine is a beeeotch to rotate!
This figure looks and feels great. The transformation is enjoyable and fun. Thanks for the great JTI video.
muchos thank you , mr Emgo316 . Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong !!!!!!!
You know what; Seeing the new menasor. I'm shocked that no one made a G1 Optimus Maximus using these molds.
Ya?
@@Nothingisherenow Yea, Since optimus and the others pretended to be menasor and even combined (Somehow)
I'm really hoping Legacy will have Optimus Maximus using these modes. An update for that combiner would be awesome and an amazing mate for the Menasor.

Your videos are a national treasure!

Same!

Definitely a fan of you talking though what you're on doing in these JTIs.
My nephew got a Motormaster for Christmas, he’s using your video as a guide 🎉
The trailer hitch part that is supposed to fold (at 2:17 in the video) then go over his head and peg in the back will not budge. I have no idea what to do with out breaking it.
I love the bulk and weight of this figure! Well done! Another GREAT video Em!
Man, I absolutely love your just transform it videos as it saves me time from having to dig for the instruction manuals as sometimes it's too complicated or sometimes I haven't transformed them in so long I've forgotten. God bless Merry Christmas.
Thank you! I almost threw Motormaster in a fire, in frustration
Thank you for making these simple transformation videos
Glad to be of service
The figure looks great but i have one thing that really im nitpicking about
The top of the grill is still visible and is out of place in robot mode
The tabs of the arms are a pain to get out, feels like they are about to break. I use a wooden tool push them out.
Needed this, those instructions suck! Much easier to watch, pause, do, rewind and try again 👍
I am not the only one that sees the Combiner Wars connectors am I?❓
I discussed that topic in the full review of this guy. Link in description 👍🏼
@@emgo316 thought you would have, i have yet to watch the full review, i just wanted to see the transformations of it
really wish they did a different lower leg connection for combine mode my copy does not lock in knees bend fine straightening them out makes them release and the rear truck wheels are awful heres hoping for an upgrade kit
your just transform it videos are so helpful, thank you

You can't use 2 Dragstrips or 2 Wildriders. The armbots don't interchange and I suspect it will not work for the legs either.
Hey 👋
Nice video

This is great. glad there's 24 hours in a day in order to have enough time to transform this thing into menasor. it could be slightly more complicated.. I'm thinking they're going to stay in the box. Lol
I definitely like the talking while transforming, but I wish you'd rotate each mode when done transforming like you used to.
I address one complaint and they just find another one 😂
Add dragstrip to him

overall, i love the figure. this has nothing to do with that. i just want people to be aware that this is a very real thing that could happen to anyone and that it is (unless you are unbelievably skilled and/or are a jedi) nearly impossible to fix without impacting functionality.

How did you get him so early?!?
He’s currently out in Australia and I sent him a copy
@@Halohunter553 can you send me one lol
I should be getting mine from BBTS soon.
Now i kinda want them to do a bruticus

Thanks for these JTI videos. Super helpful for a lot of folks.
My pleasure!
huge improvement over CW. solid figure the only issue I have with it is the trailer wheels. Otherwise Good to go.
Someone fixed the weak rear tires
Yo!
I’ve ditched manuals and use emgo’s videos instead
90 dollars for him
I doubt it's for sale, sir.
@@toastedroastedpeanuts it is currently in Australia.
Imthankful. For these videoswashaving problems but sovedeasily

The way this menasor combines is not my favorite. You're just attaching their car modes to menasor's arms. that's not combining! I like the combiner wars/unite warriors one better
that is combining, but to each their own.
@@emgo316 What I mean is that menasor's arms are just drag strip and dead end split in half and attached to a big block. I like it better when a combiner's limbs are'nt just a vehicle mode attached to an arm but a 3rd separate mode
I know what you meant. it doesn't change the definition of the word though.
This is G1 accurate though in cartoon anyway...
@@MFobe yeah but i like combiners better when the components actually transform instead of attaching to the arms of a bigger robot.
This was so helpful. The instructions are whack
Everything looks good except the trailer, it involves too much parts forming and leaves leftovers pieces too! Doesn't look very good as a trailer either... I hope in a third party trailer that doesn't need partsforming and look better
