Transformers Legacy Commander Motormaster Found at Australian Retail

I'm hoping that gun tower can integrate into Menasor some how. I'm not a fan of not using all the parts.

I believe it transforms into a rifle for him. The top can definitely be used as a gun but I’m not sure where the rest of it goes.

Didn't realize how stubby his trailer looked.

I think you might be right. At first I thought it was just compressed to save space within the package but it looks like it might be the same on the back of the box...

We already had official images of how big the trailer was going to be

My bad for not paying attention.

All good. I'll be interested to see a pic of Motormaster, Rodimus Prime, Leacgy Prime and Earthrise Prime all lined up next to each other with their trailers.

Still waiting for photos with CW dragstrip blu tacked onto the arm :p or anything that looks like a race car.

Would have liked photos with the arm frames detached.

Legacy Drag Strip is neat, been amusing myself with the split function. Should probably upload pics.

Probably earlier than he should have been but eh, bring on the Big W Toy Sale.

I'm hoping I can be so lucky, grabbing Motormaster from the wild.

Oh, great Toy God, allow this to happen.

I'm impatient and I don't wanna wait. lol

It is a little stubby. They really milked that angle on the box photo LOL

In the back, where else?

yeah im not thrilled about how stubby the trailer looks either BUT its a small price to pay for whats looking like one of best portrayals of menasor yet.

Soooooo glad i passed on the combiner wars one.

now i just have to try and grab him at a reduced price as the new prices are mental here in ireland (ya should see what metroplex is going for €239.99 ! no way. so with motormaster up for €109 like roddy i should be able to pick him up for 65-69.)

The trailer doesn't bother me, I'll rarely have him in truck mode anyway.

Who care that the trailer is "small", when there's so much MEAT in it?

Agreed, but I do acknowledge objective reality.

Motormaster is the perfect demonstration on how viewpoint and perspective can make or break a photo.

Motormaster looks pretty good, and Menasor is slowly but surely looking better and more interesting with each bit of news.

Speaking of Legacy, Sandstorm is still the best Beast in the line

I agree, then again I'm the type to preffer Cardi B over Paris Hilton.

Many Australians are gleefully posting their images of Motormaster and Menasor online. These give us a good look at all the various modes and reactions have been mixed. Some fine the trailer too stubby, some say it's too long, some say it's just right. Feels like the story of the three little bears. But hey, at least now we all know what to expect and can plan accordingly if we indeed want this toy in our collections. Below are more in hand images and we have a rather important one showing the Combiner Wars compatibility. Please remember, Hasbro was explicit in stating that this connection style was used because it was a good system for this particular release, NOT because it would make it backwards compatible, that is more of a coincidence than something intended.

The images below are from @squishybelle on Twitter.

CW MM skipped leg day and Legacy MM skipped arms day.

Looks like Legacy Breakdown and Wildrider are gonna form more than just the back of the legs.

The photos of Motormaster look absolutely juicy. These honestly make me even more excited for the figure than the actual promo shot, hah! (Probably the natural "average room" lighting that helps out a lot...)
I am quite impressed that Motormaster does indeed at least transform quite a nice amount to form the head and bit of the body. Kinda helps the frame feel less "cheatsy"...still not really a fan but it is my choice to display them combined or not. (And I definitely won't be, so it doesn't bother me. )

What makes you say that?

The holes in Menasor's lower legs. Wouldn't the two fill those in?

It pains me how easy it would have been to work CW ports into the shoulder area and design a Menasor that would make just about everyone happy. Want Sunbow Menasor? You're covered! Want Scramble City Menasor? You're covered!

The panels are inside the bottom of the legs, inserting wild rider just causes them to fold out and and close out the legs. I know I'm not describing it well, but it was shown in a video when the toy was revealed at the fan panel last month.

He looks like a lot of fun!

Sabrblade wrote:Looks like Legacy Breakdown and Wildrider are gonna form more than just the back of the legs.

like what, if you remember a while back they show those openings closed maybe its for transformation into base mode

I see, now.

Legacy Menasor will be PERFECTION.

A far cry from the deformed abomination that was the Combiners Wars original.

I don't know. We can already see the legs are compatible. And if you look on the shoulders....

If those parts can flip up, it might just work, though I'm probably just being too optimistic.

I think you're being too optimistic, they've already said the connectivity is only in the legs, and even then it's not solid (like plugging a CW limb into Cybertron Optimus Primes arm joint)

Let's see how long it takes for 3D printed arm adaptors to show up on eBay and a 3rd party to make a new torso frame that's CW compatible.

Emerje

Nice!

Very very nice. Glad I pre-ordered him. Can't wait for pics of Breakdown and DeadEnd to start showing up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only the legs connect to the trailer, the arms connect to Motormaster himself, right?

I bought a G1 Iguanus shell a while back for the sole purpose of being able to put Core Iguanus inside.

So here's the results:





Putting Iguanus in this position:



And inserting him like so:



It's not perfect, but it work.

Dead End got on Chefatron a while ago. Go check it out!

Nope! If you didn't already know, Dead End is knock out:

Knock Out isn't part of Menasor in any way. A proper G1 Breakdown and Dead End are coming.

That makes no sense.

You are suggesting that Mensaor is made out of 4 completely new molds and a retool of a retool of SS-86 Jazz?

I think you might be confused.

There's no maybe about it. At the same reveal that gave us Knock Out, Wildrider and Motormaster we were specifically told we had to wait before they could show us the last two members.

I think the confusion is that he thinks Knock Out is a Stunticon. Like he's Dead End renamed for Trademark reasons or something, based on the fact that he's a red Decepticon car, when Knock Out actually isn't a Stunticon at all.

I look forward to someone coming up with a way to attach all four CW cars.

While I like Motormaster as an individual figure and Menasor's posability, I still fail to be impressed by the fact that they designed Menasor to match seriously lazy animation. It just reduces Menasor to an alt mode of Motormaster with the other Stuntacons as clingers-on.

Brokebot wrote:I look forward to someone coming up with a way to attach all four CW cars.

You can bet your left AND right nut that some smart-ass will make a 3D printed "upgrade kit" that will allow exactly that. It's just a matter of time and will come sooner than you think.

Finally got a Legacy / Kingdom Core Hot Rod.

Got to say, he's pretty nice for such a small guy. The hood doesn't like to stay tabbed in though in Car mode.


With that said, I suddenly feel the urge to have a Commander Class Star Convoy to pair him with for some reason.
