San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has updated their website with images of Titanium Series Transformers MENASOR (which is a repainted version of Rodimus Prime), Transformers Alternators RODIMUS (a repaint of Kiss Players Rodimus) and the War Within Grimlock statue bust.

Titanium Series Transformers MENASOR:

Experimental mechanics may have successfully unified the gestalt frame of MENASOR into a whole physical creature, but no level of shell programming or kernel restructuring has been able to modify his fractured mind. Constructed from the bodies of the five DECEPTICON® warriors who once combined to form him, he is nearly indestructible. He is the ultimate in state-of-the-art destructive capabilities, driven by an almost mindless rage at the psychic agony that constantly torments him.

The dominant personality within him is that of the former leader of the Stunticons, Motormaster. Hated by his teammates, he nevertheless exercised an iron-fisted control over the team - a control that slipped only once the five found themselves unified in MENASOR. Even now, hardwired into the command network of the new body, he withstands a constant mental assault from the suppressed personalities of his four underlings. As a result, MENASOR, who should be the ultimate weapon, is little more than a destructive monster, incapable of following a plan, and desirous of nothing more than to smash everything around him. Available as a HasbroToyShop Exclusive at this summer's 2007 Comic-Con!

[quote="DagonI'd love to see this line continue with WWI designs, but then what other characters get the Titanium treatment? The Autobot cars to me at least all kind of look alike, but a full compliment of Dynobots would be cool. WWI Coneheads maybe? Lots of people complain about the Seekers/'heads always getting done but they seem to be the people who always clamor for Tracks and Hound, who in the WWI like G1, were sideline guys at best.
How 'bouts WWI Ratbat? He was kinda neat looking....[/quote]

I'd be hoping for a WWI Bumblebee...oh wait, hang on. I haven't read the comics so I don't know what he looks like. I just want him cux he's Bumblebee :grin:

. Is he the same as he was in the G1 series pilot 'More Than Meets The Eye'?

That's a bit of an extreme reaction, isn't it? You could still call it Motormaster in your head. Once you've bought it, it's your toy. You can call it what you want.

How did this get changed from the WW Grimlock bust thread to the "Menasor" repaint pic thread?

They can't use the name Motormaster anymore as the name of a toy. Read the bio, Lord Grimlock - it tells you why Menasor is no longer a gestalt.

I don't care what people say, I like that Menasor. But, I do already have Rodimus...so...

It seems they're going all out on the WWI stuff for the Titanium line. Heck, it'll probably end up as 'Transformers: The War Within' line.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if they should just drop the whole "Titanium" name and just come up with cool packaging for a WWI line!

That is absolutely amazing. They merged the 5 stunticons into one forming Menasor who can not only tranform into one alt mode, but also bears a striking resemblence to Rodimus Prime in looks and size. Amazing!

Rodimus w/new paint is Menasor? The name Menasor hasn't meant squat since G1 as everything after that has been completely retarded.

I like the looks of Menasor but just not the name.

So what can we call him now? Baby Nemesis Prime? Just reminds me of all the repaints Prime before. lol. Still like the colors

Does anyone know if this will be on Hasbro Toy shop's web site and we will be able to use that 25% off/free shipping discount code, or is that expired?

Grimlock bust? If they'd make a full Grimlock statue, that would be a blockbuster.

Hopefully, it might be safer ordering from BBTS than seeing if HTS has gotten it "act" together after last year's mess.

Can't someone at Hasbro try to trademark the name "Decepticon Motormaster" or "Motorsmasher" or something, so they can stop calling him Menasor?

Grimlock looks hot, Rodimus is not to shabby, and A black Rodimus would ne cool to keep with aall my other black Prime variants.

I like the bio, I like the paint, but real he seems more Nemesis Rodimus, as apose to Menasaur.
