    Thanks for tagging me!

    Hm. Not as much as I thought, honestly. I thought he'd be as big as Ironhide. But you know what? This is fine. It's a nice, comfy size. There's not that many Decepticons that small, after all. Can't wait to see the rest of the team!

    So @PrimeVsPrime, you try any attempts to make an arm out of Dragstrip here?

    According to the Leakers™, the early reviewers have all of wave one except Bulkhead for some reason. So yea, we'll see the rest soon.

    If they’re going for cartoon accuracy (since it’s a G1 character, I’m sure they are), then yes. Menasor is going to look like a tall dude with four vehicles attached to his limbs. I would’ve much rather gotten a new Devastator but oh well.

    It looks like this guy and Kickback are going to be the big winners in wave 1. And, looking at all of the peg and slot holes on the bottom of the alt mode, I’m thinking he’s going to split in the middle and just peg onto Menasor’s arms. That would probably provide the most solid Menasor mode. I’m not a big fan of using the limb bots’ hips/knees as the combiner’s elbows.

    So, if the early reviewers have wave 1 already, that means we expect to see them on our side of the globe around April?

    Easy thing to answer, the reason why is that SS figures, everything else in mainline except for voyagers are made in Vietnam. While voyagers are made in another factory elsewhere.

    Wouldnt be far wrong but who knows with shipping issues etc sadly. Plus these reviewers are stupidly early

    Prob wont be long till all moved elsewhere given the stuff getting out. Not just TF now either ML and Joes are being hooked out too

    The more I think about it the more tempted I am to get these Stunticons to display in robot mode and keep my Combiner Wars version to display in Menasor mode. After all the Stunticons are my favorite gestalt group. Hmmmm.

    I'm sure this has been addressed before, but is the assumption here that this will end up being a Titan class sized Menasor when all is said and done? Or is it more likely going to come in somewhere bigger than the standard Combiner Wars but smaller than Devastator & Predaking?

    I am expecting around Siege Jetfire height since most of Menasor is going to be made from a Commander class figure. Taller than standard CW combiners but a bit shorter than the Titan combiners.

    I haven’t been able to keep up with the leaks after they got spread out over a bunch of different threads, is this set to be a proper combiner or just a grey dude wearing some cars? I got rid of my CW Menasor but I wouldn’t mind picking up a new one if it’s a toy style setup.

    I mean PvP also just did a video where he’s putting piles of figures not set to be released for months in storage totes because he’s bored of them. Actual release date doesn’t really have a bearing here.

    *Insert joke where Dragstrips brain is just a tiny cybertronian hamster in a wheel*

    Really wish they hadn't gone that route. I get it but it sucks when you have an otherwise solid figure. Now I'm really dying to see what they did with Wildrider.

    Is it just me or is anyone else reminded of the old Marvel comics Skorponok when they stare at Dragstrips mug?

    Siege Jetfire is around the same height as the CW combiners.

    A more accurate height between CW combiners and CW Devastator/POTP Predaking would be around the same height of Generation Toys Devastator.

    I expect a grey dude wearing cars. This Dragstrip is like 99% toon-based, so I expect similar for combined mode.

    In all seriousness, how does he do it?
