    Tried a Torso Mode with Motormaster (Road King). Getting those flaps that hold his backpack together to go under it didn't feel graceful at all. Nothing locks in to place as far as I can tell. Perhaps that's where the upcoming combiner exoskeleton will come into play. It'll keep everything still. I can't tell you how often the legs kept swinging down during this transformation.

    I think the top of the head is below the top of the combined mode chest so he probably slides in as is. Possbily the helmet comes off... but the combiner head definitely wont sit over RK's head.

    would be a bit silly having to unscrew the head to be able to combine it

    So the Combiner chest is just at the top of RK's helmet (ever so slightly titled up in this pic) and you can see in the Marauder pic there is a raised area. So RK's head & helmet should slide into the chest but the helmet might need to be removed depending on the chest shell thickness...

    If possible i would rather turn Roadkings arms quarter circle so the darker grey is in the front instead of having half dark and half lighter grey.

    Some online stores are listing Magnum as shipping this month, not next month. But I'm unsure if they're referring to them getting stock this month or despatching Magnum orders to customers this month.

    Maybe its just an illusion, but he other version of Menasor/Maurader appears to have his head lower than this version. Probably just looks that way because of all the add on shoulder padding/armor..

    It will be great to get the next Stunticon following Magnum just to finally see how they become an articulated, bicep-swivelling arm for Menasor.

    When the man says it, we are happy to hear it.

    Still no info on who's after Magnum.

    Yep, I'm not disagreeing. Just saying whats stated on some online stores websites thats all. Personally I'm hoping it will be Drag Strip next. He's the only one we've had a color sample of so far. But I'd be fine if it was Dead End instead. Anyone else care to guess who's after Magnum and why?

    Store listing are irrelevant, as they are almost always wrong. These things come out when they're ready.

    Seeing as Dragstrip has seen a color prototype and been shown at cons, he's most likely next.
