    I'm very into it. While I love Combiner Wars, pretty much as a whole, I have to admit that Menasor was not given the proper love and treatment he deserved. While the rest of the combiners aren't perfect due to being repaints, remolds, reuses, whatever you wish to call them, they pretty much nailed at least the look of the original combiner looks right out of the box. Not perfect, definitely some liberties taken, but you knew who they were. Menasor needed so much help from Perfect Effect to even be usable. Heck, the stock configuration was not only ugly, but it was unstable and couldn't stand, let alone pose past a certain point.

    So, yes. I'm fully onboard for a new Menasor using WFC's style of "Let's go for that Sunbow accuracy!". I love CW Bruticus, but I enjoy the Warbotron Bruticus more. The scale just seems fitting for a combiner of that size. Devastator, Defensor, etc.... I think are lovely and fine as-is. I have no desire to change or replace them anytime soon.
