Wow, Menasor looks like crap even in his art! It's not the artists' fault, the toy's design is vomit-inducing.

Going by precedents, I'll say this is either Santalucia or Matere, though I could be very mistaken.
Might check with them, actually.

The Menasor one looks pretty good. I'm not really sure what's going on in the Superion one. Is he tired? Drunk? Doing some kind of half-assed pelvic thrust? No idea.
I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool! :)

Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

Va'al wrote:On a day like this, as we approach the end of the virtually unnoticed May Mayhem for Hasbro Transformers, the latter's official Facebook page has posted two really quite enjoyable promotional posters for the main faces of the Combiner Wars line: Stunticon combiner Menasor and Aerialbot counterpart Superion, with the 'Courage is Stronger When Combined' tagline!

Check out the mirrored images below, notified by fellow Seibertron.com member MaverickPrime, and make sure to take a look at our very own galleries for the two teams here and here. Meanwhile, I will be waiting for Hasbro to credit their artists...

Ok, this is a half baked thought and I may be off base. I find it interesting or maybe puzzling that they used the word courage on the Decepticon poster.

I would normally associate courage as a positive descriptor and wouldn't associate it with the "bad guys". Of course, good/bad is determinded by which side of the fence you're on. In the current comics they are exploring the idea that both sides of the war did terrible things, but the 'Cons were still way more ruthless.

I don't know? I'm having a hard time finishing this thought. Maybe some of you could help me fully bake it or add some of your insight?

I don't think you are way off base. Indeed, it is hard to associate positive traits to those seen as "evil." But, I think of some characters and some situations. Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe seemed to be one who was on the wrong side. But I would associate courage and honor with him. Indeed, even Megatron showed honor at times. *shrug* It does seem a little weird to associate it with Menasor. Courage is action in the face of fear, not the absence of fear. To me, Menasor more really didn't care about danger or think about fear. "Fearless" or "reckless" would seem to be better terms...

As far as Hasbro's concerned, Wave 2 is out, end of story. Superion and Menasor are also the most heavily featured in the Combiner Wars comics, so plenty of exposure even without the toys.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
