I thought about getting this before the reveal, but I might hang onto my Titans Return version of the figure.
Elita-1 has another alt mode, cool!

Menasor looks amazing.
I thought about passing up on this as I already have the Unite Warriors version with the third party upgrade kits, but man, it looks good. And if it scales well with WFC figures, it will be hard for me to pass.
I hope he's not to much smaller than Devastator and Predaking. I prefer the combiners to be gigantic when compared to regular Transformers. Although it looks like Motormaster comes up to just above his knee (judging by the picture of the base mode) so he should be decently big.
Menasor was the only G1 combiner I completed growing up so it would be nice to get this new version.
I didn't bother with the Unite Warriors/Combiner Wars version as it was awful.
The only Combiner Wars version I did have was Superion but sold it.
I too prefer the combiners to be larger, so that they the combined form's hand can hold a voyager sized figure ... but to do that the combined form would have to be like a Titan class figure, so don't think they could pull that off...
I think Combiner Wars Superion was more decent than Menasor, though I have a feeling if Legacy did a Superion, it would be superior to the Combiner Wars Superion.
Cybertron Metroplex Titan Class figure has been revealed. That's a pretty cool addition.
Yeah it looks pretty cool, I will not be getting it since I don't plan on going deep into Unicron trilogy and I don't have the room for it. Also the box art is amazing (rip Inferno)

Sorry, I'm kind of lost with this TF iteration, but I do like that Motormaster.
If I want to complete Menasor, what other figures I must get? I can see that Wild Rider is also on pre-order, but are there any other Stunticons already released or in preorder? Are all of those under the "Legacy" banner? Thank you in advance
Great trade orgers: Son of Keldor - sdilks -JeMaBo2 x3 - Kowl - Bigassbuzz (Hyveofvillany) - Queen Marlena - mikescab - whitespyders
My feedback thread
Dragstrip is released now. Deadend and Breakdown havent veen shown yet.
Thank you! I found Dragstrip on preorder at BBTS, so I'll wait for the others to be shown to pre-order alltogether

My feedback thread
Was able to pick up Bulkhead and SS86 Preceptor a few days ago
Man, Bulkhead is fantastic. A lot of sculpted detail, a surprising amount of possibility, and a interesting transformation. Of course he's not accurate to Prime but he's still fun and stands out from other autobots. Preceptor is fine, he looks nice and really good articulation but he's just basic. Although I'm fine with him but I might be on the look out for the TR version to see if I prefer that one.
Also the SS86 Arcee looks like it could be the best Generations Arcee yet and the Wreckers line looks cool but I don't think I will pick anything I have seen yet.

I got Bulkhead too a few days ago and just my luck, today the Amazon Wreckers version was announced and went up for preorder and it's a better deco; IMO; than the standard version.Had I know what the Wreckers version looked like, I would have passed on the regular one.
That Leadfoot looks awesome.
Leadfoot/Masterdominus and Impactor/Spindle are the only two "Wreckers" I'm getting, and Impactor only so I can get Spindle. Don't need to add simple repaints of Bulkhead, Springer, or Twin Twist. So many other Wreckers they could have added that we haven't seen figures for. Oh well.

Well... Devastator and Predaking were Titan class figures, and I don't think there's any reason they couldn't have split those up into 5-6 individual releases. It wouldn't be cheap or efficient.. but it's certainly doable.
You are right in that they are Titan class figures, but there seems to be a noticeable height difference between Devastator and Predaking (both roughly same height), vs Siege Omega (taller) and Generations Metroplex (taller), which is mainly what I was referring to.

Went to Walmart and Target today and I was shocked to see Legacy figures in the isle. It wasn't until I got loser to the pegs and noticed a trend. In the isle at Walmart was 8 Prime Arcees, 6 Bulkheads, and one Laser Optimus Prime. Then at Target I saw 4 Prime Arcees, and 3 Bulkheads. Hmm...
All the G1 characters were gone while the non-G1 characters were plentiful. This is why Hasbro pushes G1 so much. They sell and sell better than any other TF series.
Actually seen someone make a joke about that showing all the Beast Wars stuff from Kingdom on sale and saying no G1 stuff was on sale.Went to Walmart and Target today and I was shocked to see Legacy figures in the isle.

There is a Scourge (Robots In Disguise 2001) repaint of Legacy Laser Optimus Prime getting released.

Legacy Menasor looks pretty small for the pice compared to the Titan figures. He looks to be just about twice the size of Voyager Optimus Prime.
Been seeing a lot of comparison pictures with people that agree. I pre-ordered MotorMaster as he's always been one of my favorites but now not sure if I'll spend the money for the rest. I do like the idea of posing all these in Robot mode and then having a G1 Menasor on display though...

It still look very solid and Menasor still looks great. The original G1 version wasn't that big either compared to other Transformers.
Besides Devastator he was the only other combiner I ever owned. Holds a special place in my collection

I did have some members of other combiner teams.
Legacy sub-line exclusive to Walmart and some Target exclusive crossovers (SF figures are rereleases of Takara product)

My goal with Transformers was to get every G1 character I had in the 80's updated. But I have lost all hope of that ever happening. My most wanted figures are the 4 deluxe Insecticons & now I know we will NEVER get them. Fansproject gave us that lazy repaint set missing Venom. Then Hasbro gave us that cheap, lazy Chop Shop in Combiner wars which was just a Shrapnel repaint. I don't understand why they would make only 1 out of a team of 4. And now we are getting another cheap, lazy repaint of Kickback into Ransack. Ransack is in my top 5 favorite Transformers of all time so imagine how much this sucks for me. Instead of getting a new Ransack, I get a stupid black & Yellow Kickback.
Transformers is my favorite toy line from the 80's. I was collecting right from the beginning. But I just don't see any point anymore. Hasbro totally ignores far too many characters while constantly pushing the same handful on us. I started losing interest during Kingdom & now I think Legacy sucks. That new Kickback/Ransack is the final nail in the coffin for me.
I've been selling a bunch of my Transformers lately to get money for MOTU Classics, Origins & Masterverse.
