That cab transformation impressed the heck out of me UPDATE: The engineering is amazing PERIOD

[@rjohnson80100]

I think a lot of these companies need to start putting Spudgers in the box with the bot. They are not that expensive and would go a long way with the consumer.

[@carlsmith8848]

I like how fanstoys actually incorporated the trailer in the transformation. Heres a good one, show me one pic in the cartoon where motormaster transforms to bot mode just using his cab.

[@WonBoii411]

They absolutely nailed that!

Think the trailer transformation is way more impressive self contained like this.

[@DiggitySlice]

Nowadays people seem to be ASKING for worse engineered figures. They're begging 3rd party companies to cheat and give us giant $600 staturs with non transforming torsos

[@tfan2222]

@@DiggitySlice Yeah, because a Menasor with either a separate piece or much more ideally, a trailer that turns into it, is a lot more stable and more fun.

[@Dokken1975]

He’s amazing looking, still waiting for all of mine to get here. Apparently stuck in customs or something. Thank you Fanstoys for giving us characters that Takara Tomy will never give us!

[@brianaguiar913]

Considering the back pack is pretty much 90% of the trailer, I think it looks fantastic. I like that the trailer IS included in the transformation and not a seperate part.

[@glynlewis5512]

One of my favourites in the Masterpiece line. Has a great presence.

[@rugalheidbernstein9944]

Amazing panel work on this figure, I'm pretty confident that X-transbots can come up with a solid MP Motormaster as well.

[@rugalheidbernstein9944]

@@TheReincarnatedDeath I kinda like that, it will make the transformation much more simple.

[@DesertSandSailor]

This is so impressive..Love this figure. Totally purchasing this guy. One of my top 3 favorite transformers and he's wonderfully represented!

[@davidez4640]

I fully agree, it has pretty amazing engineering to make the whole trailer part of the robot mode, but I think i prefer the way X-Transbots are going with using only the cab and having the trailer contain the parts-forming parts for combined mode

[@Bbc418]

This is cartoon accurate

[@vvcc9565]

just ticked this guy off of my "must-haves" list, and i was pleasantly surprised to find that it does have the smallest bit of downward movement on the head. the head itself, inside the box, can actually look down a few millimeters. its not much, and should be a lot more, but for photos and stuff it really really does help, he looks a lot more imposing. speaking on that, this guy has some sort of energy about him that's just unbeatable. if you get the angle right for a photo, he looks absolutely humungous, and towers over most other FT decepticons. easily stole a spot in my top 3 favorite figures, which is now him, FT quietus, and FT mindwipe. my decepticon team is lookin fantastic, thanks to fanstoys.

[@thetruenemesis469]

Tbh, the backpack is very clean, considering they literally involve the cab as part of the transformation. Great job on their part. Also, great job for them actually putting "mass shifting" in effect.

[@lowellmartens6135]

I finally transformed mine. The engineering in this thing is pretty amazing. You have to take your time but the transformation isn't hard. I love this figure.Thanks for the video, as always.

[@roguewar7153]

I've never understood the parts forming hate. A solid trailer that could carry other mp cars would have been a nice touch, and looked tons better imo, not to mention an easier transformation. Admittedly, i think there was some pretty clever engineering involved to make this guy work. Clean transformation segment, my fingers hurt just watching :^)

[@darwinxavier3516]

The amazing engineering is the reason people prefer not to have partforming whenever possible. For me its like a "WOAH, they actually figured out how to make it look toon accurate AND not just make it a build-a-bot". I mean, the only thing worse than unnecessary partsforming is shellforming IMO.

[@gohlincoln2570]

The less there is of parts forming the more elegant the figure. It feels like cheating or Lego/duplo not a transformer with too much parts forming. But any figure that takes an experienced hand more than 15 mins to transform loses my interest and feels more like work than play. For those who like to spend an hour fixing a model up this is the it, but this feels more a fix up model than a toy.

[@omegasupreme7608]

You nailed it my fried!

[@VikingEric]

Excellent review. The gray paint breaks on the trailer are both toon and toy accurate. I know it's still kind of ugly but it's one of those things where they can't win as you say.

[@TheCandymannnn]

Panels panels everywhere, but not a break in sight. It really is quite a fine piece of work I'll be looking forward to getting my hands on it soon.

[@ButtZilla]

The self contained transformation design was BRILLIANT! It's true to G1. Don't ever try to cheap out a design by adding a trailer to Motormaster. WHY would you? He's not Prime. He didn't need to be Prime. Megatron's design was PERFECT! Big bad ass him self ruling the roads! This is the BEST Motormaster ever! Till Takara release theirs 20 years down the track............

[@bobby101a]

I honestly see this thing breaking for heavy handed people...it is pretty in robot mode.

[@darwinxavier3516]

Knowing Takara and their trend in rising prices, they would charge $500 for him in just 10 years or less.

[@quickswitchmedia8197]

Absolutely stunning. I have been waiting for reviews so I could see if the trailer is self contained or not. And I'm glad it is. The review was on point, I loved it. Even tho the figure is a little more complex, it still feels like a back to basics approach from fanstoys. Gonna gave to order mine now I guess

[@Trikeboy2]

Great review. Having him transform into the trailer helped make my decision to buy this even though I'm all in on X-Transbots. Its a nice homage to the original toy, which the Menasor mode will also emulate.

[@JasonSawyer]

That is a badass diorama, dude. Amazing stuff. In the first half-second it was onscreen, I legit thought you just showed a pic of the figure CGI'd over a detailed cartoon-like highway. I think when they can make it clean up fine, self-contained is fine; I respect the hell out of it when they can do it right, like DX9 Carry. Just ordered this knowing that if I'm happy with the XTB Menasor, I can easily sell it (because FansToys).

[@KingOfHalla]

Been searching around to find a combiner I want to get, and been watching a lot of your videos again recently. And really the Stunticons weren't on my radar that much (was really looking at the Zeta offerings), but after seeing this video, and just seeing him standing there in the beginning. It definitely sold me on this figure and the team. But I'm tempted to not even combine them when they all get out because this is easily, to me, the best of the three Motormasters (XTB, DX9, FT).

[@jasonreyes1342]

Such a fucking beast! It's nice to wake up to a BSF review for an anticipated figure.

[@wendyhotchkiss7772]

I’m so glad FansToys released Motormaster first before any of the other Stunticons. He’s my favourite character of the team, and after handling Road King I think this is the only third party Stunticon I need.

[@zilvertron]

Mine is Deadend, cause hes so funny despite having such a horrible decease

[@cybertronianexchange595]

First off, fantastic review. I love this figure and you did excellent sir. Second, you only missed on part of the transformation. There is a chrome bit that folds out in the trailer halves from the leg that fills the little rectangle hole about a pinky width distance from the front of the trailer. It will hold that all together better. The figure looks great but not sure how I feel about the trailer riding higher at the back than at the front where it meets the truck. And lastly, I can't imagine Motormaster looking beneath him to even consider someone being there. So no need for looking down. Lol

[@CoffeePhilosophy]

I’m buying this guy! I’ve been thinking about t for months and there is just something about him. I can’t put my finger on it but every once in awhile a bot comes along and he represents what a Transformer/Decepticon should be.

[@russthemuss4218]

Hey bro. Great review as always. I have to say. I'm impressed by this figure. The way they engineered the trailer was mind blowing. I do agree with you that it would have been easier and probably better to do the trailer as a separate piece. I dont have a problem with the back pack. It folds up beautifully. If I wasn't so committed to the Xtransbots Stunticons set. This is the way I would go. Thank you for giving us a look at this amazing piece.

[@TP3_5]

I know you're in your glory, Motormaster looks amazing! I'm sold, will be buying soon!

[@wendyhotchkiss7772]

I personally think that having Motormaster be composed of both the cab and trailer is essential for a Masterpiece representation of him. That’s the way I’ve always seen him, and his G1 toy is exactly that too.

[@7tgm23]

Woo! Love the shelf shot. Awesome background

[@bradp366]

The only reason I got this figure was because I was so impressed with the engineering of the backpack/trailer and feet/cab. I don't feel a huge desire to complete Menasor, so if it weren't for that engineering witchcraft I probably never would've gotten it, and God damn, I'm glad I did.

[@Drippyronin]

Great review bro, mines on the way!! Your diorama looks DOPE!

[@mark4flair376]

Looks good, I got my shipping notice this morning, FT FTW.......

[@sam0guyver]

Looks pretty good . The back looks nice and clean and not to bad saying it’s half the trailer collapsed. Getting fanstoys for bot mode and dx9 for combined mode. Great review as always bobby

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

This is a beautiful TF, Fans Toys did an excellent job and I'm glad they opted for a bigger scale because Menasor will be huge, which is great and the Stunticons seem to be in scale with each other so you can display them separately. I so need to buy this TF, I'm not a big Stunticons fan but I love good Transforming action figures. Thanks for the review Bobby.

[@mickholohan4266]

Must say chief, this is probably your best transformation video yet. Fair play. This looked a pain to transform from other videos. Btw when are u goin to say "silver n gold!" I miss it ☹ (I know when it's on other figures n not this😂😭)

[@bradkrekelberg8624]

Hell yeah! That makes me super excited for X-Transbots' Motormaster/Gravestone when that finally comes out! Still waiting NOT SO patiently for Dead End/Deathwish (who's LATE). Motormaster was my favorite character when i was a kid. I CAN'T WAIT. It's really interesting to see how Fans Toys incorporated the trailer into theirs. I'm willing to bet that with X-Transbots' version, Motormaster will just be the cab.

[@DynamiteTLew]

Amazing figure from Fans Toys. I've watched every video on RoadKing so far and it seems all the reviewers are forgetting to flip the little silver piece near the front side of the trailer to stabilize it. I don't comment often but this figure looks so good and deserves praise for the challenging engineering feat pulled off by Fans Toys. Waiting for mine in the mail. Great video as always Bobby. Cheers!

Comin at ya from the UK!!!! I purchased Road King a month ago, great figure. Personally, im happy that the trailer is self contained, makes it unique and the engineering is done really well whilst adding to Motormasters size. Ive been watching different reviewers online only fairly recently, having got back into Masterpiece collecting and find yours to be very entertaining. Thanks for all the great vids Robert Bonehead!

[@chestfullosixes5808]

Great review and your diorama will look nothing short of AMAZING when done. I really like this figure. I dare say though we can expect a "premium paint job" from these guys down the road...

[@Tombstonecross]

Looks amazing, but the transformation is insane

[@raziel4435]

It took me about 15-20 mins to get this into alt mode taking it slow the first time, but once it’s done it’s rock solid. It then took about 5 mins max to get back to robot mode. It’s really not that bad once you know what you need to do and what the best order is, if you follow the instructions there is a point about halfway through when it is a complete mess on the table or your lap. Excellent figure overall for me.

Use a mousepad or buy one if you don’t have to let him stand on it. That Crome on his feet is easily get some scratches if you pose him on hard surfaces.

[@schlitzy-1031]

Looking forward to getting this guy!! Mine should be here this week. Thanks for the review!

[@PicklerEntertainment]

So I saw this guy was selling out, and I couldn't take the risk of not having this set ready when the last bot drops. He arrived today and he's AMAZING. As much as I like Saltus, this guy is in the running for MP of the year. I love the added details & ALL the clear plastic accents, it really is beautiful. But, some important things to note, the backpack is MINIMAL and although the outline in Bot mode is darker than the promo shots, it is just fine in person, a shade or two lighter would be great, but it's another non-issue. Overall this is a solid 9 / 10.

[@juicebox9088]

Bobby I have to say. I have two KZbin accounts constantly watching from both depending on the device. I watch your videos if I'm curious about a toy and your straight up no happy hogshit reviews is my deciding factor on a yes or pass. I thank you sir. Keep up the the good work.

[@astartespete]

honestly this is figure of the year so far for me, the engineering is superb. btw, there are 2 little diecast pieces that fold out in the legs that further secure the truck panels.

[@BadLamprey]

I must be the only person in the world who wants a motormaster that doesn't partsform OR collapse and is just really, really enormous in bot mode, actually using up all the trailer's bulk and towering over prime like he always should have done, cartoon scale be damned.

[@McItoshi]

The bot looks good and the engineering is incredible

[@JaceyMitchell]

I made my first attempt at transforming this on 01/30/2024. I made my second attempt this morning on 02/02/2024. My second attempt made me decide to just keep the Fanstoys in bot form, and get the X-transbots one as a second Motormaster that I keep in vehicle form. I get the feeling I may also end up having to buy the DX-9 one to get the combined Menasor. 🤣

[@caseysshenanigans708]

Definitely an awesome figure. But I prefer Transformmission Powertrain for it's complex, yet easy, transformation and IDW inspired design.

[@robledoeugene1975]

Just got mine and he's awesome 2 things he can look down slightly by just moving the head and not the box and the transformation joint in the shoulders gives you a nice looking reverse butterfly joint my only criticism is the heels I would have liked them to be more stable minor other than I'm loving it my only question mark is combined mode.

[@rickycuevas6479]

Awesome review Bobby also you hit the nail on the head with everything going on with this figure. I would have preferred the trailer be a separate piece, but like you said you can never satisfy everyone.👍🏽

[@Sportimus]

Both the G1 toys and toon Motormaster transformed with his trailer as part of his body. So Fans Toys did it accurately there. I agree that the backpack in a non-issue. I really like this release. Not perfect, but excellent. I've grown to really like this Fans Toys Motormaster. I'm in for the XTB, but I think I'll dip into this as well. Menasor is my 2nd favorite Decepticon combiner after Devastator.

[@cherylsaliens5451]

I'm not in on fanstoys Stunticons anyway but glad for everyone who is, he looks good seems very clean& functional, structurally seems sound he looks very bland on TV but I'm guessing that he doesn't in person. Good 4u Skully but honestly we all knew that you were going to love it and be astonished by the motormaster from your favorite company. You are a fanboy for fanstoys and that's okay, I am shocked that they got him not silverbolt out so quickly, I would have liked to have seen him at the two conventions so far, why'd they not show him?

[@Pool-qm4og]

Solid review! I have been holding off on all the Menasors, but this guys looks great and I would be happy with him simply for Bot and Alt mode. I love Zeta but dislike their bot modes. If Fans Toys can nail the combined mode they will be the combiner champs.

That backpack isn´t proportionally greater than the Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee Beetle.

[@brainarddesign6853]

I think the thing with the trailer feeling off is, I thought he was a double trailer not a single one like Prime, maybe Im wrong on that. Im not against or for parts forming, Im for what every makes the piece come to life and work well for us the collectors. I'm impressed with the engineering on this, however to use the trailer like a trailer, it probably should have been a parts forming to put other stunticons inside as it seems the trailer is filled with Motormaster's upper torso and head, if that is a thing for some. Mine is coming in hopefully this week and I wonder when we will see the preorders for the rest and what combined mode will actually be like. Great review man
