It's a good version of that cartoon interpretation of Menasor.
Now THAT looks bad so I'm sticking the blame on the cartoon.
Smaller than I thought

Yeah, trailer is too short, and Menasor looks... bad? Can I say that? You can say that. You can say it because it's true. And that trailer is really very too short. Looks rubbish. Menasor is the same size as the previous combiners then, by the looks of it...? |

From the measurements we've had, he's about half an inch to an inch taller, but noticeably bulkier than CW Superion.

With that and the updated aesthetic I don't think he's going to go well with the CW combiners.

Thing is, I wasn't really into the CW Combiners. Didn't buy many.
This Menasor tickles me, for some reason. Even though both it and Motormaster look a bit rubbish.
I don't understand my mind sometimes.

Interesting pictures...
So, the new Menasor is slightly smaller than the CW Menasor with all the 3P add-ons (this is how I have my CW Menasor).
CW Menasor without the add-ons looks idiotic, but you don't have to have his legs quite like that from what I remember. Have they possed him like that to make him look extra goofy?

Yeah, I was certainly expecting Menasor to be taller also. Although given that Motormaster and his trailer make up the bulk of Menasor, and he's a Commander class figure, I guess I shouldn't have expected him to be much taller than, say, Siege Jetfire. I guess I had in my mind that, being a Commander class figure, Motormaster himself would be the size of Jetfire, and thus Menasor would be massive. Which is of course wrong.

I am fully on board for Legacy Menasor now.
I don't know why.

Yeah he looks pretty good there...
But YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY, Doc'.

I think it's because it is a bit rubbish. I tend to be drawn to toys that are a bit rubbish.

Okay so i been thinking. A lot of people have the question of how to do a matching Superion, and summize that it can't be done.
Well, not by using this exact formula, it can't (commander class voyager w/trailer gear+ 4 deluxes).
But a leader class Silverbolt with four voyager class aerialbots would absolutely create an equivalent.
It would be about the same price total, too.

How...random.
Shockwave can't be in scale with Dragstrip then. He must be a munchkin.

It doesn't to me, but the general line direction has been towards 'scale'. I can see this hurting a few heads!

How? Almost all the core figures have been smaller size versions of characters?

How? Almost all the core figures have been smaller size versions of characters? Think it through. The Core Shockwave radar dish fits on Dragstrip's gun. Ergo, as Legacy is "to scale", that means that either Shockwave is a munchkin or Dragstrip is a giant. -Ralph |
