    That new tweeted head is very much Animated and very much Menasor. They can stick with that one and I would assume that most of the fans will be content at the least.

    Maybe something that fits with the stunt team motif they have. A race helmet with added features to make it look knight-esque, like a grill on the faceplate. The antenna could be sticking out or be a decal.

    I like Mew's idea though. And that tweeted pic looks great, but I'm not sure if they should use it if Botcon doesn't want them to.

    I REALLY like that. It's not so much an Animated reinvention of the character like the Animated Constructicons or Prowl were, but definitely Animated style G1 Menasor.

    If they wanna reinvent him, an idea I had was that the Animated Stunticons give me the vibe that they're Cybertron's version of the WWF what with the blatant Macho Man head on Motormaster and the fact that they're traveling performers. So if they took this head, including the helmet, and gave it a broad nose and beady eyes, it'd look kind of like the Andre the Giant Obey posters which would be awesome.

    Then Animated Menasor would talk really slow and have a really deep voice, but he'd also finish people's sentences with rhymes :) 

    Starscream: "Stop it now! I mean it!"
    Menasor: "Anybody got a peanut?"

    Your version has an actual nose. That's not allowed in Animated. :p 

    Marcelo's design is perfect. He GETS the Animated style. It's not going to get any better unless DJW makes one himself. If they want to do a Animated Menasor, this is the head they need to use.

    ....I fully support an Andre the Giant Menasor.

    Anyone up for modding that Menasor head to give it more Andresque features?

    Not when it's the head for something made up from Animated toys.

    umm...are you thinking Prime dude? Cause plenty of bots in Animated have a nose. But I digress the Marcelo is a billion times better than mine.

    Animated TFs have tiny noses. Not long ones. Blitzwing is the only exception that comes to mind.

    I'm pretty sure they don't have noses, their helmets just dip between their eyes, creating the illusion of a nose.

    I recall BB having his entire helmet taken off in one episode, and he had no nose, IIRC.
