MANTISAUR in MOTUC

**Snake Hunter** · March 6, 2011, 07:39am

He-Man, Skeletor and She-ra have their own mount beast. Its time for Mantisaur for Hordak!

IMPROVEMENTS in MOTUC
Mantisaur have a Gun Machine in the back, but the figure can,t reach to it. Maybe a good improvement can be a rotating saddle or just design the saddle in a way it can work in both positions (Hordak looking to the front, Hordak looking to the back).

I never had Mantisaur but would love to see him/it in MOTUC!

What IS Mantisaur, anyway? Giant insect? Robot insect? Giant insect infected with TO virus?

**evenflow** · March 6, 2011, 10:03am

I would love him. Don't have high hopes though. Not sure if they could get multiple use out of the sculpt.

I believe we're retreading another thread here, gang...look for this to get merged if I'm right. In any event, I think we could see Mantisaur eventually.

Interesting bit on that packaging; I didn't know that Mantisaur could call up swarms of insects!

**Ealo** · March 6, 2011, 10:33am

i'd love to see this in classics! (but i want bashasaurus first)

**Rodster6** · March 6, 2011, 10:36am

I'd love to have him, always wanted the original. I like him being some insect creature Hordak experimented on.

**He-bro** · March 6, 2011, 11:08am

I tried to make my own:

Sure! why not? She-Ra has a ride (coming this year) He-Man has a ride, Skelly's ride's coming next month... Heck Catra has 2 different rides!! (in MOTUC status unknown) Why can't Hordak have his ride!?

**Lewd_Squirrel** · March 6, 2011, 11:46am

Yes please, do want.

**phantom1592** · March 6, 2011, 11:57am

I'm pretty sure he'd fall into the 'vehicle' slot... and other then the cats and horses... they're pretty much ALL going to be unique sculpts... and he is a fun looking thing...

I hope they make him.

**Underling** · March 6, 2011, 12:28pm

Sure, I would buy one. Not a huge fan of Mantisaur, it's just not as iconic looking to me as Battle Cat, Panthor & Swift Wind. BTW, did King Hiss ever have a mount? Or was there a prototype of one for him in the POG line?

**bamf1980** · March 6, 2011, 12:45pm

Tyrantisaurus Rex belonged to Hiss.

**Hellvertz** · March 6, 2011, 12:57pm

A Tyrantisaurus Rex in Jurassic Park style (movie not toys) would be insane

**chuc98** · March 6, 2011, 01:08pm

I'd love a Classics version of Mantisaur! The only thing is…I'll need a Hurricane Hordak to go on his back!

**orbles** · March 6, 2011, 01:12pm

I recently got the vintage Mantisaur and I would totally love a MOTUC one. I really like the design and color scheme on it.

**RavenousPuma** · March 6, 2011, 01:17pm

I definitely associate Mantisaur with the horde and Hordak (even though the only bugs I had were Sectaurs) so would love to see a 4H version.

Cool custom He-Bro.

**Keldor/Skeletor73** · March 6, 2011, 01:27pm

Meh, could not care less..wait, i could: we could be talking abour a mount 4 Orko!!!

**The Horrorist** · March 6, 2011, 09:17pm

I would love to have a Mantisaur with posable legs and pincers. Maybe some parts of his limbs can be used for Monstroid and Spydor.

I agree that Hurricane Hordak belongs on Mantisaur, like BA He-man on BC and Fisto on Stridor.

**13977** · October 27, 2011, 11:45am

I always wanted Mantisaur as a kid and never got him. He's not the highest on my MOTUC list buy I'd definitely get him if he came out, he'd need a lot of improvements but I'm sure the 4HM could do wonders with him.

**aric** · October 27, 2011, 11:47am

i'd buy mantisaur in a second!

**JimPansen** · October 27, 2011, 12:05pm

I would love to get a Mantisaur but would prefer a Stridor first

**aric** · October 27, 2011, 12:10pm

Did mantisaur ever appear in the cartoon? I sure as heck dont remeber ever seeing it

Isn't Stridor pretty much a done deal now that Swifty's been done? Seems more like a when rather than whether issue

**Prahvus** · October 27, 2011, 12:37pm

I'd like Mantisaur to be released in 2012. I'd buy it in a heartbeat !

Same goes for Tyrantisaurus Rex, Bionatops, Turbodactyl and Gigantisaur.

Yes, he made an appearance in one episode. I forgot the episode title...

He did in the episode "A Talent for Trouble" but he looked nothing like the toy and I really wouldn't want a toy of the Filmation version:
