Great video as usual Bobby. I have the xtb so maybe there is some personal bias, but I would have scored it 5-4 xtb. Switching sculpt and scale. For sculpt I think it looks better with more surface detail, yet matches the toon better. For scale if matched with zeta superion it's a half inch shorter, which I think menasor should be, but about even at the top of the antenna. Would have liked to see dx9 next to zeta if it's taller that definitely wouldn't work for me. P.S. loved the grimlock video you deserve it.
@chribing3 жыл бұрын
One of the best comparison vids I’ve seen. Way to go. I already committed to XTB because of how much I liked the scale of the 4 limb bots with the MP autobot cars. But I’m dreading the transformation of menasor. As a stand-alone it seems the Dx9 has better playability owing to more stable posing, and the threshold to combine and un-combine is lower.

Not just because of your reviews (which are dope), but combined with all of your other content that you make, like these comparison videos, the builder series, the dummies discussions, the sit downs, the collection critiques, etc. have helped me tremendously in terms of being informed in this TF collecting game. So wanted to say thank you for all the hard work, honesty, and most importantly, the passion you put into the content you make. It really shines through. You a real one man.

I went with FT and XTB. FT was a no brainer. Even if the combined mode didn’t work I’d still use them for bot mode. I rolled the dice (and it was a gamble) on XTB for combined mode over DX9 because I wasn’t a fan of DX9 Menasor’s frame aesthetics (namely the visible gears on the elbows and the big lower legs). However, I now regret my decision to go with XTB over DX9. After the price of Dr Egg and now their Menasor’s surprise frame price and build issues, XTB’s reputation has been harmed in my eyes.

Based solely on this video, I have chosen ... poorly. I chose the XTB based on the pro's mentioned in the video AND I preferred the scale of the bots and cars over the larger DX9 Stunticons. That was the one thing that kept me from going with DX9; the size of the bots and alt modes. It's a shame that, for me, XTB seemed to be "the one" for the win in my book, only to see them fumble in the end. I won't lie, it hurts. At least I can enjoy them individually.

I think I’d be happy with either of these. I’ve gone with FT, so we’ll see how that turns out. After all this though, I think I’d prefer a combined only action figure than having all the parts-forming. I like how they do combine, the principle of it, but I’m just not sure it’s worth the compromises when so much of the figure is parts-formed, and the body bots just end up being plugged in at the back, not even being required.

Aw man, you had one DX9 thigh right in the last video, now they're back to being mistransformed. It really does look so much better if you do it properly. (EDIT: And now they're right in the close ups. Huh.) I dunno what the XTB black plastic looks like in person, but in photos and videos, it looks like the cheapest, ugliest, nastiest garbage I can imagine. It looks like the kind of plastic you use for packaging. I was going to get the XTB set when it was first announced, but I bailed when I saw that godawful bandaid plastic they used for breakdown, and I honestly feel like I dodged a bullet. The price, the nightmarish transformations, the unstable combined mode, the awful proportions that make him look like a toddler on steroids, the ugly metallic purple on motormaster, the clip-on wheels on the legs that made them look like pinewood derby cars, I really find nothing redeemable about this set and this combined mode, and feel bad for folks who didn't see that until they were too far in and got got by the price gouging and are now compelled by sunk cost fallacy to try to pretend it wasn't all a huge mistake. The DX9 one isn't perfect, but at least they didn't price gouge me right at the end, and it's stable and looks better next to the zeta bots. Menasor war over as far as I'm concerned.

l went all in on Dx9 because of the size of the combiner, but am now even happier because of how stable he is in comparison to what you've shown with XTB. I custom paint most of my MPs, so the large panels of the Dx9 create more options to work with, especially breaking up the gray on the front shins/legs and chest. My take is it's always easier to enhance color with paint and accents with some gunpla-type etching than it is to re-tool stability, engineering or the anything to do with size. For me, Dx9 Menasor for the WIN (... well, until FT comes through with theirs).

I think that was pretty fair. DX-9's better all around. The only reason I'm sticking with the XTB is because his looks. For me, It just looks better. But I'm not looking forward to that XTB nightmare transformation. 😓 I'm just going to get them in combine mode, put them in an A stance and there they shall stay forever. That was my initial plan... XtB for combine mode and FansToys for individual robots modes. But, that could change if FansToys mange to pull up a better combiner. I don't know... this whole XTB trailer debacle has been one huge let down. Makes me worry about their upcoming Defensor set. Is that one going to be like their Menasor? There's always the MMC one, but that combiner is going to be the size of their Bruticus. Too small. We'll see. Thanks for taking the time to make this comparison video. Great work as always. 👍👍👍

I've been all in on the Fans Toys set... But, I was tempted to swoop up the Dx-9 figures, just so I could have a completed Menasor on the shelf until Fans Toys' last figure finally arrived... But, I ultimately decided to double up on Fans Toys, so I have 2 of each FT release. Although I'll have to wait I'm glad I made that call. I think when this is all said and done, FT is going to win in Bot, Vehicle, and Combined modes. So fingers crossed this set is everything I think it will be... But now I'm thinking about going 3 deep on FT, so I can have 1 for Bot, and 1 for each combined mode, because the Toon and Studio Ox versions are just so different from each other.

What's the saying....fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.....no more XTB for me after Boost and Hatch. I really like DX9 Build quality...I have never had one that didn't feel solid and well made that I can think of....too bad that they have disappeared.... I really hope the combined mode for FT will be better than XTB and look better than DX9. I guess time will tell. I feel like parts forming IS necessary to make a combiner stable and doesn't bother me anymore. I like the accessory gimmick on the XTB vehicles where they did a nod to the original G1 vehicle weapons that were included with the figures. As always enjoy the videos....

I'm not really impressed with either Menasor. DX9's set is fine, but I want something just a little nicer, more "premium-looking", I guess - I've tried to convince myself it'll be good enough, but I just can't quite do it. X-Transbots got the look a bit better, but with the absolute mess that is the trailer, poor design choices (the ankles, the knee screws, and the base mode, for example), the false advertising and lies, and the numerous QC issues, it convinced me to sell my set. FansToys are the only one left but you can't even get them for reasonable prices. Dragstrip was going for almost twice the price only a day or two after release, which is to say nothing about the rest of the set. Pre-orders are pretty much impossible to get (I've been trying for about a year now), reissues cost way more than the original MSRP, and it seems even well-known retailers are getting into scalping (again, just look at Dragstrip). As much as I want them, they're just not worth almost twice the price that they should be, and I refuse to support that scalping behaviour. So I guess I won't be getting a Menasor any time soon, unless FansToys sorts out their stock issues and reissue pricing, amongst other issues.

The Hasbro combiner wars menasor was so terrible that I just leave them as separate robots, these two don’t look bad but some of the transformations look very complicated and more of a headache than fun

CW Menasor looks great with the perfect effect upgrade kit. It's not expensive, either, assuming you can find it.

I still don't really agree with the Unicron thing. Trying to say that people are just picking on the maw piece's colour to justify not owning it, whether out of jealousy (seems unlikely) or otherwise, seems like a stretch. Plus it seems like most people who are upset are the ones who bought it, whereas there are a lot of apologists who are saying it's totally fine despite the false advertising on what is essentially a halo product (even though, as I've been saying all along, said halo product is also a Hasbro product, so this outcome was always likely). I don't think there are many, if any, people who are trying to justify not purchasing it over one little colour change, but one little colour change _is_ indicative of a much bigger problem (the long and short of which is basically "it's a Hasbro product"). I do feel, Bobby, that sometimes you tend to be in a bit of an echo chamber - I would be interested in seeing/hearing you engage in a full discussion with others outside of your usual circles over this stuff (though I realise that's easier said than done, especially at the moment).

I am going to start by saying........ It's not FansToys...........All in jest. Great subjective review BS. IMO XTB takes the Sculpts as Individuals, in bot & alt modes. DX9 takes the accuracy in height in bot. Although XTBs combined mode aesthetics & sculpt (when not in a side by side comparison) WINS it for me, the lack of HEIGHT/BULK makes DX9 the WINNER when it is & it will be. The XTBs "Extras" gives the impression of a bodybuilder skipping LEG DAY & concentrating on Shoulder & Arms, imo, although a cool EXTRA they are not needed & you can save the $. DX9s Trailer is simplistic & a joy to Transform, XTBs is anything but, although its Trailer mode is Fantaastic, couldnt care less for the base mode = waste of engineering $ & resources = coulda saved it and brought the price down perhaps significantly. What I will find interesting is FANSTOYS & what they plan to do about all that WEIGHT. Yes the Individuals are FANTASTIC so far, but all that METAL = Significant WEIGHT.
