Coming way courtesy of TFND, we have a great set of in-hand images showcasing the fully combined form of the Stunticon team: Menasor! There has been a split discussion among fans as to whether Menasor holds up to the high level that has been set by Superion. With only stock photography to go on mostly, these in-hand images are a welcome addition to help us decide if Motormaster and the Stunticon team is worth the pick up.
Make the jump to see some key shots of the gestalt and discuss on the TFW2005 boards!

Just so you guys know, if you apply super glue to the pegs on Motoromaster that are used to fold up the shoulders for gestalt mode, it will increase the friction and make it much more solid when rotating the arms. I added glue on each side of the peg, and ow it has to pretty much click into the peg hole.

Are there any stand ports built on the individual bots?
Or is there a way to stick one on him when he's combined just for stability not to actually make him look like he's flying?
You can't really taint some one's name that is described as nasty, underhanded, suicidal, and homicidal, if you want to go with your G1 bio.
Slingshot
Late march I believe.

So when is BBTS/TF Source/Others going to get this wave in?

oh stop it….you're overreacting AGAIN. i like the original version as male myself and i don't really see how you can get away with calling the CW female because of the headsculpt. maybe you could get away with the FP one since it's sleeker looking…but the botcon one was a one off figure and seriously doesn't impact dragstrip's character in a whole. i'd bet most people either don't know about it, don't like animated, or just don't care. so what one guys swears by it what's the problem?
besides no one would have attacked you or said anything about your opinion if you didn't start things off like this:
that's not the best way to voice your disagreement with someone referring to dragstrip as 'she'
dont wanna be attacked by 'femanazis'? don't act like a sexist maniac. kinda simple really…..
TaintedPiffy
Overreact much?
It was an interesting talk amongst a handful of people involving personal headcanon before you started wigging out because how could anyone taint his name by calling him a girl?!?
People seemed to take more issue with your multi-colored posts, though or, at least, equal issue with it.

I just like the original best and everyone has to attack me over it.I feel like I am being attacked.

As Picard would say: "Wishing something doesn't make it so."
That's fine, that's your take on it, no biggie. It's what works for you and that's great, but the difference is, you're not losing your shit over it. lol

Personally? I like the idea that Dragstrip is a vain femboy-bot. The idea it's totally a guy but he tries to look and act feminine. That's my headcanon at least.

But omg wouldn't it be so kewl if DS was a girl? Cuz omg girls

I'm not sure why this is such an issue, really. In all official sources, including TV and comics, Dragstrip has been, and always was, a male character. Only that one BotCon made him into a female and it was a one off, a one shot that didn't affect anything outside of the convention and their own fiction. In fact, most casual fans that came into this world of collecting around the same time didn't even know BotCon existed, so chances are they'd have seen the Stunticons and thought "…uh, isn't dude a dude? Why's he a chick in this one?"
If you choose to see Dragstrip as a chick, that's your right, it's technically incorrect, but it is your right.
Even still, it's not worth fighting over and I really don't get why people can't admit they're wrong when presented facts, that just drives me nuts.

in his defense that's just animated dragstrip….G1 dragstrip, which CW dragstrip is an update of, is male. he's right that dragstrip is a male but he's a little more annoyed by it than anyone ever should be…..
Erector
Sorry dude, you're 4 years late to that party.
optimusmegas
wow…that's…intense…
you're like that guy that's sitting on the floor seething with hatred about the fact there's no wildrider or slingshot. treating one teeny tiny thing like the end of the world…..chill man…like aaron rodgers says: R-E-L-A-X
Dinobot Slug
I am sorry people,to each their own.

I prefer Drag Strip being a girl too.
That could actually be cool.
We're all FEMALE!

Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong.

Sorry, didn't mean to start a whole thing.
