    Man I have both, just need legacy breakdown, and the vehicle modes on legacy are stunners but I hate the leftover tower of garbage. Even as a huge blocky cannon it's still oof. Biggest failure of the set and makes me like the CW better. If I display legacy menasor it'll be in vehicle mode no matter how stable he is cw just looks better with upgrades and is a little over half the price.

    Its the smokestack shoulders for me dude.

    If they'd made Legacy MM fully backwards compatible I would've just kept all the CW limb bots and solely bought LMM. As it is, I currently have CW Wildrider and Breakdown as Legacy Menasor's legs instead of the trailer as I think both of them overall are better than their Legacy counterparts. The CW alt modes may not be all that accurate to the toon but damn do they look good.

    Same. I appreciate both teams for what they bring to the table.

    Finally got my replacement parts for the KO perfect effects feet. They were still loose, but not nearly as bad as the first set and were salvageable with kiki's. He's now a complete unit!

    I love both …. Legacy will be finished soon….but gotta say…I got more enjoyment out of CW Menasor when hunting for his limbs…maybe because it was all a mix and match thing??


    I definitely appreciate CW Menasor more these days….

    I agree . The cw bots are just too fun. And if u have the perfect effect upgrade kits. He still looks amazing.

    I'm using the cw stunticons as their cybertronian modes to fit in with my autobot decepticon, Cybertron mode display. And having the legacy stunticons as the earth mode ones

    I’m working on the Legacy bots, but he doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere…

    He is awesome, but this useless tower is definitely the biggest drawback, besides the weapons and backwards facing car legs. Upgrade kit is otw whenever BBTS gets them but he is the most stable, posable, cartoon accurate combiner by a mile. Everything ratchets, nothing slips, he can stand on one leg and dab. If nothing else this is a big step in the right direction.
