The STRANGEST Menasor Everyone Forgot About |

I'm not gonna lie: if this were a McDonald's toy, it would be straight fire.

[@notclever]

It actually was, a mini version of, at least I’m pretty sure

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

The armada autobot McDonald’s toys combine but the combiner doesn’t have arms lol

[@huasocongusto]

FACTS!

[@5unnysCorner]

I know this will sound like sacrilege but… these guys kinda feel like a modern version of the OG Scramble City dudes. Now I know that's a cursed sentence, but like, those guys were also very simplistic, and only ever had enough engineering to give them shoulders, and by the time they combine they end up as bricks who could only move the arms (yes there was the base modes but like, nine times out of ten kids wouldn't really do the base modes and just have the big robot). Really, the differences between them are stuff like the general engineering and that toys of that era and toys when this was released were in very different places and thought processes.

[@Jason49110]

i get what you're saying but personally I disagree. in G1, yes, the combiners were basically bricks, but you could also do something with the separate components, the transformations were, while still incredibly easy, a bit more involved than these, and if you're lucky you could get combiner components with actual usuable articulation, like Hun-gurr for example, he had actually good leg articulation

[@5unnysCorner]

@Jason49110 I can see your point, these guys were basically doomed the moment they tried making them since Transformers was in rough shape at the time, just that it's a shame since if they tried to make them a bit more like the OGs this and Ultra Bee would be fun little sets (and also fix the issue of space for people since they and the original Scramble City guys don't take too much space).

[@Jason49110]

@@5unnysCorner honestly they should've sold the components separately so they could have better engineering. G1 transformers are fun little fidget toys that you can flip back and fourth in a matter of seconds and it felt really satisfying to do (as far as I know, the only G1s I have are a KO of G1 Optimus and the 40th Edition Walmart Exclusive Soundwave) where as these are a little too easy to do and aren't really that fun

[@5unnysCorner]

@@Jason49110 As someone who experienced the Scramble City bots through scuffed KOs, they had issues but yeah, they're great little fidget toys that had logical transformations. Honestly if they tried to do something like the old toys (with obvious regards to engineering, plastics and costs) they could be some of the most fun little dudes released. Dino King proved Core/Legends class combiners can work, just that they need some more time to cook (and probably make the main guy a Deluxe so at least there's some stability).

[@SalamanderNuva]

It's at least better than the lazy frame combiners they've been putting out

[@drinkie1]

They need to remake the RID figures because jesus these figures sucked and the designs from the show were awesome even though the show itself was mid. Edit: I agree it is an awful followup to tfp but I just like how they designed MOST of the characters.

[@uainjansun]

I disagree......the show was *that* bad. So bad they butchered starscream

[@PrimUS_1984]

Not for me The warrior toys others are bad, but the most of warrior figures are ok The designs in the show Grimlock bad Sideswipe and Bumblebee are meh The furrycons good and bad The other designs are good

[@SammySinner6]

Ehhh imo the designs were sauceless versions of the prime ones

[@YourBizarreJoe]

The show suck hard ass

[@PrimUS_1984]

@YourBizarreJoe For me only the first season The season 2 was ok The season 3 was Good The season 4 was meh But the whole show isn't bad For me it is mediocre in general

[@wullie823]

btw I have that RID combiner, plus the one with Cyclonus ect you missed a step! the car/arms actually extend a little

[@transformnroll2752]

Galvatronus is the name of the one with Cyclonus

[@king_infernos]

i know i was going to say that aslo i used to have Galvatronus but i lost it in a house fire took everything but it molded me into a firey idiot

I still have this, or at least parts of it. Every individual bot has something missing 1:08 actually, my dragstrip spoiler broke out the box. 6:40 also you forgot you can extend the arms.

If they build an army of combiners They might have combiner wars “Say that again”

[@Bluestar1079]

They look like the toys you used to get in McDonald's Happy meals. Collect them all

[@Cdr2002]

They feel like G1 toys made with 2015 budgets Charming in a weird way

[@LordOden1]

You listening Hasbro? Full sets of 2015 rid combiners, properly built thank you.

[@Applesause2442]

When combining menasor you can pull the yellow and blue car to make the arms longer

[@Star1ightEmpresss]

I actually have this guy and he's a fun little silly goofy guy and literally the only combiner I have lol. I remember begging my parents to get him for me years ago until they finally caved in and since then he's been a silly guy I like messing with every once in a while. I did actually forget I had him tho until I saw this video in my notifs

[@SQWAUKSQWAUK]

What a silly goober. I had to find PCC parts to make a abombination. DON'T GET THE WHIRL ONE ITS TOO SKINNY

[@metrosaurusrex7012]

Can't wait for 2015 RiD to get their missing link figures in 2055

[@TheMastaria666]

"This is just stupid, but I love it because it's stupid" That about sums up nearly everything I like.

[@bettylungkang3755]

Best transformer youtuber EVERR

[@Jetthehawk1994]

They need to bring back Wildbreak, Slashmark and Heatseeker into the toylines, especially since the latter had a legends scale toy released but not in America, which has made it very hard to track down.

[@SilverMeteor115]

I have this Menasor, and nearly EVERY SINGLE Review I watch on this guy they all forget that the arms extend

[@RatbotReviews]

The dragstrip and the other arm can stretch when combining to make longer arms

[@dialNforNinja]

The arm guys look like TFP Vehicons, though that's basically just satiung they're a sedan with extra angles. It's sad that Core Class has been cut for numerous reasons, but updating this guy with the budget of a Deluxe and four Core CClass could have been really cool. I wouldn't expect it so soon after getting the Legacy set, but then they did the Core Dinobots while the 86 Leader class team was still trickling out so perhaps it couild have been... It's unlikely the 4x5x1" peg space and ~$10-12 price point will be abandoned with how jealously brands fight over retail space so it probably won't be long before something is revealed to pick that up, but it may well be some lame little thing like the Earthspark fingertpupper things that is more TTF adjacent merch than real Transformers as such. Talking about LGC Menasor though, I had an interesting thought for if they get around to the Seacons while still using this skeleton+accessorybots format - they could have the skeletoin frame fold up into a fort mode that rides on top of Snaptrap's shell! Like an actual ye olde (sand) castle type thing, then halfass it into a gun emplacement for stand alone robot mode like for Motormaster and Silverbolt if having a ye olde castle in the background of your scene like A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court or that other episode I can't rmemeber the name of where they get involved in a pocket dimension full of wizards. Man, I really want some good Seacons, the color coordinated combiner teams really do it for me, constructicons, Aerialbots, Seacons (original or white,) Technobots somewhat, latterly the Dinobots, or various TF-adjacent stuff like the Brave series etc. I just really hope they ditch the stupid spring loaded leg doors for teams that did not canonically just pop the leg bots on the back and call it a day. Lame, ugly, restricts the knees and introduces unneccesary structural weaknesses while increasing parts count and assembly operations, there is literally no positive to be found with the damn things.

[@rikajougasaki3296]

Fort mode for Seacons could be a pirate ship for easy redecoing into their BWII counterparts.

[@JamesMaddatu]

8:57 HE KNOWS ABOUT TOKU!?

[@skwid6483]

I think they definitely could tackle the RID combiner designs again. Obviously they can’t be a whole commander class but I think getting a multi pack of a deluxe sized Motormaster or Cyclonus with core sized limb bots would be a good idea.

[@Stephen_the_Sunman]

This set I kinda like, just cause it’s a cheap and dinky Menasor, and I love Menasor. Also the arms can extend.

[@MrFlibblelv2]

The other Menasor everyone forgot is Power Core Combiners Crankcase with the right car drones slapped on to him.

[@TheAmenez]

this looks really cool tbh I wish they would do a whole line of really simplistic combiners for people who don't want to spend triple digits

[@dragonstorm2938]

That show being a decade old is making me feel old heck I’m only 16

[@EZSTAR06-fj4yc]

This set was actually the thing I got from my local ToysRus before it closed. Unfortunately, I lost both Dragstrip and Wildbreaks spoilers and broken the Menasor head thing, so it pops out almost every time the arms aren’t blocking it (like in vehicle mode).

[@pacificgrim4661]

I remembered this figure from an ad trailer for the rid combiners and it was fully articulated I don't know why Hasbro didn't release those versions instead of bricks

[@MrDarksol]

Wow this version of Menasor is giving me hardcore Power Rangers Turbo megazord vibes except what would happen if they gimped on everything.

[@Iamthebestprime]

I actually owned this and your completely right these were so fun to just flip back and forth between alt mode robot mode and combine mode

[@rubiconprime1429]

I remember working at a summer camp where we had a Transformers week and one kid brought in this figure. I brought a bunch of mine over for the kids to play with and one of them came to me in tears because he thought he broke my TR Brawn. He had just popped his arm off the ball joint and that was fixed easy😅. Though my Dreadwind did get his Decepticon symbol scraped off by accident. Oh well!

[@rob-u1u]

I think the bot and vehicle modes were purely incidental in this case they were made primarily for the combiner gimmick. Which mind you could be a little more articulated . Wouldn't mind an update remake though.

[@Ultracharge9]

I still have this but i lost the sword But for a combiner rhats the size of a Voyager its weirdly good

[@GimicMimic]

You forgot about the elbows in combiner mode, if you pull dragstrips "legs" and "torso" apart, they extend

[@4RyanProductions]

I had this figure lol, I still have the blue one and Motormaster although they are heavily colored on and old

[@shreaderpoint2119]

I know it’s a little late, but could you consider making a video on your personal picks from any transformers gifts available on the market for Christmas?

[@Bonely-One]

for the arms you can extend them, just pull them apart from the hood and rear bumper areas

[@kashzimmerman]

I didn’t forget about it because out of all my toys I had when I was little this was one of the only transformers I kept

[@thepoopak5774]

I had this toy as a kid alongside with the ultrabee version

[@Elite-Magnus]

What brand is your microwave?

[@quantumsurge7250]

The cars can be extended to give the illusion of elbows so they look more like arms.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

If I had these, I would wait until all four limbs were on motor master, so that way I could press the button on his chest and then do probably the most epic head reveal for 2015 Transformers, at least in the kids line.

[@NicholasTobolski]

I can assure you, I did NOT forget about this.

[@Geographygames8832]

[@impossibleboy162]

[@Shiny_Mew151]

[@TBWL195]

idk about the other two but the reason they didn't have breakdown is bc RID2015 is a sequel to prime and breakdown died in it

I've got this set on my shelf now, with extensive paint applications applied to make them somewhat more cartoon accurate; not really a fan of the plain gray faces

[@davewire87]

I wonder if some of the design philosophy was inspired by G1 with the idea that the transformation was fun and the robot looked kinda cool so ultimately articulation didn’t matter in the eyes of a child’s imagination.

[@vindicatorschannel7136]

I still have the RID Ultra bee, and every now and then I like to fiddle with it.
