    Motormaster is a retool of the Optimus mold that I have not grabbed yet, so this is my first of the mold. It transforms very easily, but I have to fiddle a bit to make sure everything tabs in flush.

    The horns on Menasor's head are NOT the soft rubbery plastic, but are indeed the hard plastic, and the horns can swivel for storage (or emoting, as seen fit). The legs are definitely bothering me a little as he either stands too wide or too closely, but the combiner foot heel bits absolutely help provide stability, dissipating my frustration a bit.

    Blackjack does't stay on very snugly, and all it takes is one look downwards and he'll fall right off of Menasor's chest.

    Love the black/grey/purple scheme, and the heads for both Motormaster and Menasor are nice, and Menasor's chest/head reveal was pleasant for me with that open-mouth look of screaming in pain from the combination process (Stunticons, am I right?)

    Might pick this up just for how cool he looks. But then I will be tempted into going for the other Constructicons as well. :lol 

    Also, could this be a potential alternate leg set up? He loses backward leg movement, but it might look better...

    Ugh. That grey all over the truck looks ugly. I'm going to wait for the Takara one and hope they screw up the colors less.

    Unstable to hell, but I can see where it's a neat start.

    MotorMaster, Macho Man... coincidence?

    anyway, on topic... he really looks like the cream of the crop.

    The Motor Master: "That's my Slim-Jim you're holdin' on to there, jabroni!"
    Motormaster: "Wrong, this is MY Slim-Jim, and you're holdin' on to the last moments of your life! OOOOHHHH YEEEAAAH!!!! ELIZABETH!"

    shame about Blackjack not pegging in securely. Not a biggie for me personally. I'm sure there are some configurations on Menasor's legs that look just fine; I had literally no interest in Optimus until Shartimus Prime did a review and put the legs in a position that made him look awesome, and his proportions have been growing on me, so now I'm pretty much really really want him.

    He definitely needs more paint, but otherwise he's a fantastic looking figure.

    Can Blackjacks weapon form the sword hilt for Menasor?

    I can't wait to build my own Emosor!

    "What's wrong Emosor?"

    Emosor, folding horns downward: "Everyone likes Superion better!"

    "Aww, don't worry Emosor. Here listen to some Death Cab for Cutie, that will make you feel better."

    Emosor, visibly cheering up "... I will follow you into the dark..."

    Somehow the combined head is better compare to initial pics, while im still not sure about the menasor in combined mode i think im gonna leave them uncombined, of course i still like that they can combined but its not their best angle. I like also like your botcon motor master, classics nemesis and CW motormaster they look great together man.

    It should also be noted that some of the glue for the face can be dry, and mine manages to fall right off, pics a bit later for that.

    Definitely not, in fact, I haven't found any explicit way to connect either Dragstrip or Blackjack's weapons to Motormaster's.
