    Yeah the 5mm pegs felt loose when I was assembling Menasor. But push them in far enough and the larger ring on the edge bites and holds solid.

    On G2 Menasor that purple on head and chest is awesome.

    Boxset isn't expensive and I like especially Drag Strip,Motormaster and Menasor as colours.
    Is this Motormaster more balanced in combiner mode and with better joints for Menasor legs and arms?

    I wanted to buy a fixed Motormaster(I already own old version) but instead I could buy this set,despite I already have all G1 CW Stunticons minus Dragstrip and little car for chest;it's more and more tempting and I've always LOVED this team..

    Motormaster does have the fixed joints in his legs. All around, this Menasor is sturdier than the regular version.

    How's the plastic quality on this set? I remember some reviewers saying that the Superion set felt a little flimsy (although some also said it was fine, so...)

    I'm kind of on the fence about both. I love how they look, but I don't know that there's room for them in my collection. Well, unless I sell all the regular ones.

    I have the G2 superion. I have all the CW so far, and im pretty boggled to say the G2 superion set is possibly the best feeling out of all the other I have. Its crazy..The molds used to turn to shit as they repainted them, Now its like they get better.

    After I seen how damn good the superion was, I really want this now. I didnt like either set at first. Thought they just looked to crazy. Now I see em a bit different.

    I got my set today and they got some really tight joints.

    Some things are tough to unpeg and their weapons are tough to get in and out of their hands but other than that it's an awesome set!

    They also fixed the part where you peg in Motormaster's arms to himself in combined mode so now whenever you move Menasor's arms Motormaster's arms don't come undone!

    I got mine on Friday, and I haven't fiddled with it yet. But I have to say this is one of the gawdiest and prettiest Transformers I've seen in a long time. The plastic colors are very rich and saturated. Can't wait to pop them all out of the big tray and combine them. I'm definitely going to fan-mode the torso.

    I LOVE THIS SET SO MUCH!!!!!

    Wasn't expecting much from it, but then I opened it up and the colours are gorgeous in hand. Menasor mode is still a mess, but if you skip that and just look at them as a team, it's a pleasant surprise.

    I have uploaded a review to my blog, with a ton of pictures if anyone is interested :)

    This set is as awesome in hand as advertised.

    However, blackjack just kinda sits on his chest and keeps falling off. Anyone else have this problem?

    That's a problem for most anyone with the standard G1 decos as well.

    It's because the pegs on Motormaster are tapered so that it's impossible to push the Blackjack mould on properly. It's a problem with all versions of the truck mould, you can either get an adaptor from Noneff or shapeways or just shave off some of the plastic on the peg to make it straight so that Blackjack can fit on properly.

    Noneff is sold out. Anywhere else to get them? All I could find was the shapeways adapter for the fan mode. Also thank you for your help.

    Again,for colouring it's a very beautiful boxset but I was confident that plastic would have been superior in every aspect to other CW Hasbro Stunticons ,instead...

    In these days ,on my Motormaster I've noticed that only after 2/3 transformations,on the lowest purple plastic section of 1 of the rotating joints that form shoulders ,has appeared a stress mark(luckily the upper section of the joint of shoulder is still perfect),now I'll be careful to not transform him again in vehicle or Menasor,at the end I also prefer to display Stunticons in bot mode.
    Has someone else encountered this thing?

    I don't think that I've forced something during transformations,it's funny that on my classic CW Motormaster, that instead has been transformed about 10 times, both shoulders have absolutely no stress marks.

    Perhaps for my G2 bot has been used a not so good plastic.
