I don't need another Mensor currently as I completed the seperate releases a while back and upgraded him
This badly needed a new head and chest. But the changes they did make look great.
Just using the toy car decoes works wonders. The cartoon cars were all bland and monotone as hell aside from breakdown and using the more visually interesting truck stripe helps Motormaster.
That said, this menasor having the dumb gun tower is a big turn off for me so I’ll pass unless it’s on sale or something.

With upgrades, you can take the whole tower and turn it into one big cannon to be held in combined robot mode
And here my Canada-residin' ass was, thinking it sounded like a bargain.
Sticking a handle on the box doesn't solve the problem of it existing in the first place. It's also an absurdly unwieldy thing and will probably do a number on the elbow joints.
I love the combiners but their G2 color schemes pop so hard that those are the versions i am going with. If this Motormaster wasn't so awesome i would have passed on these guys completely, as the combiner wars ones are fine. With G2 Menasor on his way, well, that's what I'm waiting for.
I know he can't see my posts but I'll still shout into the void that cars front for Menasor was never the "correct" way until Combiner Wars.
Yes, but how they handle it here, makes them even less noticable. Least in G1 they actually formed the legs, and not just filled a gap in them. And I have stumbled across upgrade kits that include a away to put them in front, so someone like him could have them the "right" way.
With the detailing of the bottom of the cars on Menasor's shins, I wonder if just adding the appropriate colours would have made the difference?
They really should have done so for the toy version.
I plan on waiting on Menasor and see if that boxset goes on sale before Christmas. If so, I will pick it up for the nephews.
It would certainly have made me give the thing a second look.
If it sits around long enough to go half off or lower, I might bite, but Menasor was always one of the weaker combiners to me.
Yours too? Welcome to the club!
Be nice everyone.
Also, I like the cars front on the legs, other wise, no point in having them at all.

I like cars on the back, but it means the front needs to be painted. This is a few steps in the direction of a perfect Menasor but it's not there.
I never said it was prefect, but at least its something, other than standing to one side, pity they couldn't make it a pair of wings, sure it be laughable, but at least it would have a alterative purpose!
