Been 2 years since the recent news about Menasor too

YEEEESSSSS!

They will be mine!

Quite like the assymmetry. I know there will be complaints about it, but it works for me.

Will be quite interested to see, when i have them in hand, just how necessary that spin on the back of the legs actually is...

 

Yes !!! They are perfect for me !
Thanks for the review.

 

For convenience I took a screenshot. They're smaller than MS Lambros. Perhaps as tall as NA carbots?

 

man these guys look fantastic and are well worth the price of admission. i dont know how there could ever be a more perfect reflector in a legends bot after this.

 

Am I mistaken but I thought Soundwave was the only one who transformed into a crucifix ?

 

i think it was just soundwave who did it in the cartoon. but since they are a reconnaissance team i can over look over that. maybe they were stationed all over the city hoping to gather intel.

 

Very nice! I hope for a good round of Magic Square goodies soon. It's been too long waiting for their Menasor, a bunch of Decepticons is in order.

 

These look sweet, I can't wait to flush out the ranks of my Magic Square Decepticons.

 

That transformation is really clever. Love how the top center on the camera splits to form the backpacks of the side bots and I love how the legs turn from blocks into nicely tapered legs.

My only complaints are the very obvious peg holes behind the clear chest panels (would've looked nicer if the clear plastic were just sheets glued in rather than needing to be pegged) and the opaque camera lens - I really wish 3Ps would stop trying to be clever with the camera lens and flash and just make them look nice rather than finding goofy ways to partsform them into accessories we'll never use on the bots. Also, I don't understand why everybody seems to think reflector needs knives though that doesn't hurt anything - they'll just stay in the box.

 

That has got to be one of the best camera modes (with liberties taken) I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait till they are available. Even if IF comes out with their own awesome version, the more Reflectors, the merrier.

 

I got a payment request from showz for my preorder, dang, that was fast.

 

Same, but it doesn't always mean that it's shipping soon - generally it is a good indicator, but on rare occasions I've paid my balance and waited months before the item ships.

Fingers crossed though - maybe theyrth trying to beat NewAge to the punch on this one.

 

Wow.
MS totally killed NA when it comes to bot mode. Ignoring the colour discrepancy (NA's are, I believe, a sample of their Toy deco version) MS' bots look a whole LOT better.
I think it's pretty clear that NA absolutely nailed it in camera mode though. I mean, as much as the two heads popping out on the sides looks ridiculous, it's there on the cartoon character model!
One set of each for me it looks like!!



And yes, that's a render of NA's camera mode but I used it to demonstrate the final colours. The actual proto looks just as good but the colours are wonky:

 

Maybe. I think NA nailed the camera mode though especially when the flash is installed. (see my post above). Bot mode MS is a clear winner to me.

 

[KFC Reflectron * (0.35)] + PE Scouting
= MS Reflector

 

Looking at the cartoon model was the front of the camera for the side bots the forearms? The red stripe seems to indicate that.

Perfect ! New figures edit very quickly
