Patriot Prime Reviews the 1986 G1 Stunticons (Menasor)

[@AmosTheTalented]

The Stunticons have always been my favorite subgroup. Their toys were fair, but I thought the psychological makeup of the team was fascinating. It should be noted that Motormaster is a Kenworth truck.

[@bowelrupture]

Yes, a Kenworth K-100 E. There are several real life Kenworths that are rebuild as being Motormaster. This one is very beautiful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmSod6J_h9OFjZY

[@that_blue_idiot2004]

I was never a big fan of the stunticons growing up, But Motormaster and Breakdown were the exceptions for me. Great video as always!

[@GlitchanBlack]

Fun fact about Motormaster's face scuplt - it turns out, he actually DID have purple eyes in the cartoon! So did Breakdown, Dead End, and Wild Rider. Also, fun fact about Menasor - he is THE ONLY DECEPTICON COMBINER who can only be taken out through SHEER LUCK.

[@willieleefrancis8091]

I bought this G1 Reissue Stunticons 6 years ago. I bought Reprolabels set from ToyHax to put on them. I bought them as a giftset brand new. This is a great review of the G1 Stunticons, Patriot Prime. I am one of your subscribers too.

[@wonderwaffle93]

Always loved Menasors look. He just fits that “bad guy” look. I’m considering on buying me a G1 sometime but I’m also in the process of wrapping up on the Xtransbots, so maybe perhaps after. Awesome review as always!

[@NathanSimmonsSworn]

Awesome review my man! Everyone needs to have this one!

[@brainspider]

Great to see Menasor being reviewed, he's always been one of my favourite G1 toys (I got him in a gift pack one Christmas) and still love him to this very day. I do need to fix the back panel on Motor Masters chest tough as the tabs snapped (old plastic, it happens) and some superglue will get that sorted out. He'll soon be back on the display shelves though. Now if only we'd get a Earthrise Menasor set that looks good!

[@lukasgemmill8084]

Boy have I got an upcoming legacy for you

[@OptimusWilbur]

Have a G1 Motormaster but not great condition but always wanted to finish these guys and just watching this dude makes me want that set. Amazing video

[@todddavis2041]

I got the full set of Stunticons 6-7 months ago and they're so good. Although I think all of them were the 1990 Classic reissues (Motormaster definitely is cause I got his packaging too but unsure about the others!). The Stickers are well worn, Wildrider is very loose used an arm so I keep him as a leg, and the only piece missing from the whole set was Dead End's Twin cannon which I bought from a guy in Italy. Even got an extra right hand! This team is so good, every member looks nice in both modes, but was surprised to see how small Motormaster is! Menasor is nice to, I think he looks better than the individual members! Now that you've mentioned it Menasors face does resemble Sylvester Stallone's (had a little chuckle!). So very good experience with the G1 Stunticons!

[@SoundwaveNL1977]

Awesome review He is also one of my favorites. Can't wait to complete the Fanstoys set. Damn Menasor really looks like Stallone lol. Thanks for sharing brother. Roy

[@vxrdrummer]

My original 80s version is combined and in my display case next to original Superion...I still remember getting them for Xmas and having the boxes for ages to keep them in. Then the boxes got thrown away and now I weep at the thought of all those amazing boxes in the rubbish bin!!! All of my son's Transformers get opened carefully and the boxes get taken away by Dad and put into a vault (my bedroom cupboard) for safe keeping! The other two boxes I cry over and remembered having for ages were for Metroplex and Scorpinok. What a fool I was!!!!!!

[@douglashensley6485]

The first Transformers (toys) I ever owned was purchased at a department store called "Ben Franklin's" here in my tiny little East KY backwoods, rural (very rural) town. It was the Frenzy/Lazerbeak two-pack . My mother almost didn't get it for me because Transformers were way more expensive than GI Joe. Long story long. I still have Lazerbeak in my collection, but in those days, toys were played with. Often. Anyway, OFFICIALLY, the toy of Frenzy is blue. We can argue all day. Doesn't change the fact. I have spoken.

[@willieleefrancis8091]

Breakdown and Dragstrip are my 2 favorite G1 Stunticons. I had Wildrider a long time ago. He was my first Stunticon.

[@ronnyclayton194]

Had motormaster as a child, its actually one the figures my parents bought me along with perceptor when i went and seen the movie in the summer of 1986.I had a lot of the leader figures(main center figures)about 5 silverbolt, motormaster,hotspot,razorclaw and onslaught they came with both feet hands and the head,so i had alot of the combiner parts.Sadly the only combiner i was able to complete back in the day was bruticus.

[@vaderfett3229]

Nice review! I used to have this combiner set - MENASOR!

[@mogunloye]

Good Review Fam!! You forgot to mention that Motor Master can transform and connect to Trypticon in base mode.

[@tenebrous-merciless.3962]

Great review. :) He was my favorite combiner in season 2 as well. :)

[@neilwhitcher2611]

Magnificent review brother!

[@Scotty-Z70]

i bought a KO set of these 20-25 years ago, high quality, but even better for one reason: in BASE MODE he had a spring-loaded launch feature. pull back the place to put a car, push a button, and launch! it goes flying

[@stephens4175]

I had a bunch of G1 combiners as a kid, and Menasor was the sturdiest next to Defensor, I just wish he was a bit bigger.

[@bingbongtoysKY]

great review! respect for our chunky robots

[@robertdahne8972]

These were one of favorites too, and other ToyWorld's Devastator, the only 3rd party combiners I own. I am even working on 1/64th scale versions of the vehicle modes, Motormaster, dragstrip, and Deadend are complete, working on Breakdown now. I also still have my original G1 Menasor, complete in kept in great shape.

[@thepeternetwork]

Drag Strip was the only Stunticon we had in our collection. We did have three Arielbots, and it was from those we discovered that all Combiner figures of that era had interchangeable parts.

[@TFfangeek]

This review was a great stunt in showing how amazing G1 Menasor is. :D

[@Firebyte27]

Phenomenal video, PP! I may hunt down my own Menasor one day.

[@what9418]

I had Bruticus but after 30 years the plastic parts just disintegrated and broke when I wanted to show it to my son. Amazing that this Menasor figure is still intact!

[@nbkhlmz]

I CAN'T UNSEEN STALONE NOW!!! Lol, great review!

[@capitalg88]

There was so many toys in the 80's, you almost had to shoplift. Who could afford all this?

[@HinesEdventures]

i did try to shoplift the combaticons, got caught, and my mom gave all my transformers to charity :(

[@lemonherb1]

I never did get this during it's original release. I just didn't care for the boxy look around Motormaster/Menasor look at the time. I eventually did get the KO version, but also got the complete Crazydevy kit that gave a full head that mounted on top and upgraded armour to give him better proportions. As for my preference on G1 combiners, Bruticus was my favourite because of the proportional aesthetics, variety of vehicles and character arc in the show. I'm enjoying your G1 reviews, there is always something magical about the nostalgia of these guys that you do so well to bring out.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Thank you so much.

[@goldenrootsnet]

You forgot to mention that Motormaster's base mode connects to Trypticon. Also the Japanese version can launch the small car from base mode.

[@nightlypiano41]

That could've been an oppourtunity for a TR motormaster

An old fav combiner team. I think fan out of the 5 was Motormaster and always wished was bigger. Why debating 3rd party buying for a team. I forgot about that base mode completely. Great throwback review.

My favorite combiner will always be Predaking,especially with the enhanced pieces.

[@matthewhobbs81]

Great review, the stunticons were the first combine team, I'd actually gotten complete as a kid. Also as far as the many knockoff versions available, as well as all the accessories, make sure you get all five figures as well. I say that because there are package sets out there that don't have wildrider and dead end, but nosecone and afterburner from the technobots. So if you get a knockoff set make sure you don't get one of these versions

Got a topic suggest for a livestream. It’s easy to be impressed by new figures but “what figures in your collection have that staying power”. This would be figures you’ve bought in the past and have re purchased again or still have. At minimum a year old.

Man so many similar with me. Menasor is my favorite combiner and the only combiner I had as a kid, still have him. Got the toyhax set also. Was disappointed when I saw how small he was compared to Prime, wanted to recreate that scene from Masquerade of them playing chicken. Same limb placement and I always extended the arms like that. And I transformed Motormaster's legs the same way, cause otherwise it looked like he had rickets.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Please do a review if you ever get the Perfect Effect PC-04. Thanks for your vídeos! Also, talk to your friend and check if he can make a trailer for CW Motormaster that has a base/repair bay modes like the G1! That'll be mind blowing!...👍👍

[@elrychmenard4176]

Not to mention i never actually had any of the toys they were just whatever my dad still had from his xD

[@shanehai2699]

Yeah, I have definitely got to agree that the Stunticons were right at the top of the list of favorite Decepticon Combiners, second only to Devastator perhaps... I was fortunate enough to get both of those combiners and the Combaticons complete (but not a single Autobot Combiner fully complete until adulthood, lol... 🤔😅🤖🤖🤖), thanks to Christmases & Birthdays... I liked the Stunticons for one of the same reasons I liked the Constructicons so much, and that was because they were kinda close to Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars in size, so I could get double duty out of them, plus it was like the comics when they transformed into bot mode, but the normal Earth vehicles were still just vehicles. It was THAT play feature that probably allowed me to somewhat "accept" Motormaster's smaller size, in spite of being really disappointed that he was so tiny compared to Optimus Prime. Sadly, the Combiner Wars release did no one any favors in his combined mode, and was QUITE the disappointment... The 3rd Party upgrades HELPED improve him a good bit, BUT still fell far short of what could and SHOULD have been an awesome Combiner. That said, if you want a more G1 look, close up the arms and eliminate the elbow articulation... It isn't bad actually, lol. 😅 Awesome review, brother! Well worth the wait for these guys! HOOO-AH!

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

I'm gonna have to try that out on my CW Menasor. Thanks for watching as usual.

[@shanehai2699]

@@PatriotPrimeReviews Anytime, let me know how the experiment goes, lol. Oh, something else I did to improve my CW Menasor aside from the 3rd Party upgrade kits, was to paint him black, instead of that gray color, and drop the purple highlights back in, as well as TOYHAX Reprolabels. He was pretty blah before, but I love the look of him in both modes now, plus it adds to the combined look...! Made a huge difference, to me at least. I also gave him the foot extensions from an extra SND "Magnus" Upgrade kit that I split between my Motormaster and Thunderclash custom (still in progress), so he has JUST a bit more height and less squatty blockish look in bot mode, and a longer rear section in truck mode. I also bought a Snaptite truck set to build his trailer in alt mode too. (That way I can store the upgrades inside and have a bad@$$ Decepticon rig leading the Stunticons on their highway showdown...

Unfortunately, the Marvel Transformers series was mainly used to name the various Transformers as they were released by Hasbro. Bob Budiansky was given a lot of leeway in naming and creating the backstory for them. But ultimately, the comic was really only an advertisement for the toys. I had Breakdown, but he didn't come with the cannon.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

It was more than that. The comic grew up with its audience and produced some fantastic stories and introduced some great characters. But all in all...to sell toys. 🤘

It’s weird that sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and breakdown are all the same vehicle and yet none of those 3 transform in the same way or even similarly at all.

[@RetroActionUK]

I love the Stunticons (Dead End is my favourite) but I find Menasor and Superion are the weakest Combiners. Great car modes and robot modes and Menasor is really cool as well but ultimately falls short when compared to the rest. Second only to Superion who is the weakest because of his legs. Bruticus is my favourite. Also there’s a variant of the Menasor mask with unpainted eyes and the Menasor combination parts come in two different shades of purple plastic depending where it was manufactured. If it’s Japan it’s darker, it’s it’s Macau it’s lighter.
