    Both this and Lone Wolf look so good. I think I may actually be double dipping, lol.

    I'm perfectly fine with the stock CW Menasor, but this has my interest (depending on the price).

    Damn that looks good. The makeshift trailer doesn't look good....but thats not why i would get this. Out of all of that,i'm more happy to see the over the shoulder parts then anything. I don't have CW motormaster in hand,so i wasn't sure if there was a way to pull it off. For me,that was always that one thing that stood out to me as a kid(and now).Call me crazy,but just that little thing makes the world of difference for me. Depending on price,count me in.

    I keep coming back and just staring at that last picture. It's beautiful.

    I wonder if his legs are going to be locked in that A stance though?

    Price depending I'm down for this. Glad to see they ditched the 'parts must turn into some thing' gimmick that pushed the fist and feet set up past reasonable pricing.

    Yeah... this might be a viable alternative to Lone Wolf, for sure.

    I think fan mods with Blackjack are enough. All the kibble on this looks like crap in the other modes.

    Do want the purple hands and feet, though.

    Do they have tilts? Or are they permanently positioned like that?

    Overall, I like this upgrade as the stock Menasor should have Hasbro hanging it's head in shame. That being said, the only nitpick I have for this is that Menasor's head looks too small. Still it's infinitely better than the torro inspired CW head. That sculpt is hideous as $#%@!

    It does look very nice. I'll see what the price is (and colored shots) before making a decision.

    Sacrificing clean kept, minimal kibble bot modes for a slightly better combiner. I wish they had made replacement parts you actually had to swap Motormaster's actual parts with. At least then he wouldn't have a giant ugly backpack. And feet that become guns more giant and unweildy than the official ones. The new Menasor head also looks bad, though it's harder to tell because it's all grey. The set looks like exactly what it is, a big mound of tacked-on stuff.

    My favourite part is the replacement gun, since they actually tried to make it look like the official one, though it looks underdetailed. (well, compared to the original) I really, really wish they had gone parts-swapped route with this. It not even like the extras on Motormaster looks especially bad they just look hanging-on. (I wonder why headswaps are so common, but not bodypart swaps?)

    Looks good, but I think the antennas on the head should be bigger :)
