[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Wow, one of the hardest transformations ever. Well done, this can't have been easy.

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

Just the engineering alone, is incredible and extremely well done.

[@nameforcomments4092]

This is not my thing (went with MMC Bruticus) but MAN that engineering is something, and like you alluded to in the text at the end, it's sort of part-and-parcel for Menasor's source material.

[@maxmocs5008]

Impressive, you seem to be one of the first TF KZbinrs to receive monolith. The video came out great, I admire your patience shooting this crazy of a transformation on such a large figure. Though it looks nicely engineered, it unfortunately doesn't look that much fun to me. I'd swap the individual figures between combined, robot and alt modes a lot, but not the trailer.

[@peolesdru]

Trailer's not too bad once you know it, but I won't bother with it much going forward.

[@andreyofdoom]

It's also a terrible experience much worse then it seems in this amazing video due to the cheap feeling brittle parts and weak hinges holding really large chunks

Sin palabras artista menuda memoria y paciencia para hacer esto O.O No dejes de hacer estás cosas ánimo Deseando mirar otro 😎👍 Saludos desde España.

[@peolesdru]

¡Gracias! Encantado de tener un fan en España.

[@Y34HT045T]

Honestly the fact that the main combiner body is separate doesn't really bother me because unlike fanstoys Superion, it doesn't just sit in a pile when it's not attached to the other robots. It's basically a sixth figure with an equally complex transformation to the rest of the set.

[@andreyofdoom]

We don't know though what fans toys superion extra parts will do. The Zeta toys are the ones that are totally separate. Maybe FT will give them some alternate function

[@gabrielgrenier813]

Holy damn man, huge props to you for this work. I know how insane that transformation is, I'm having a headache just looking at your vid, can't imagine how it must have been for you!

[@juanpabloalcazaruzeda5047]

I have more less experience and lower quality in my stop motions.. but I know from my expierence (or at least, have an idea) how hardwork, time, and technique these videos can demand... my respect and admiration.. thanks for this kind of videos. Very usefuller

[@ARobichaud]

I like how you did the feet first eliminating clearance issues of prying the arms open when transforming top first out of trailer mode. If that made any sense. Some good ideas here. Thanks

[@_briandickerson_]

This is a sick third party Menasor. I did not expect that transformation lol🔥

[@muhammadsyam1202]

Wtf. This is the first time I saw this kind of combiner.

[@BigGhilz]

I never really cared for menasor and this figure really showcases why. Even putting aside how he's basically a separate robot wearing the others as armor, his combined form is so... Bland. Great video though.

[@TAURON85]

Truth to be told, XTB Monolith looks miles and miles better than DX9 Attila! XTB(KFC) nails the aesthetic every time, while DX9 almost never. Lol Sorry not sorry. 😌

[@trulythelongestnameinthisc8779]

don't offend DX9

[@UnicronsLeftNut]

Wow, you XTB fanboys have been crawling out of the woodwork lately. Defending the Egg, the trailer, the accessory pack, Locke and Virtus like your lives depended on it. I used to disbelieve that you really existed but here you are. BTW, try not to cry when Marauder finally finishes and the FT fanboys shit all over this like you did against DX9 lol.

[@suprasport9118]

My God!! How many pictures did it take to achieve this Stop motion Transformation!! Absolutely amazing! 👏🌟⭐🌟

[@peolesdru]

1199 for this one.

[@suprasport9118]

@@peolesdru wow!!! Incredible work!♥️

[@CardboardBots]

I didn't realize it would be that complex. It was weird to watch redundant wheels cover the wheels on the car legs. Seems like overkill.

[@peolesdru]

My guess is when they upscaled it to 50cm they ended up with the legs too wide and that was the fix.

[@capencowl]

Wow! Amazing work! thanks so much for doing this one.

[@peolesdru]

Glad you liked it!

[@toomanylies7716]

Amazing. Well done. You make it look easy and fun, and the figure looks great. I personally don't think it's over engineered and am looking forward to getting my trailer. Just need to make sure my table is clear 😅. Surprised you could get Gravestone in there without unpegging a side, unless that was just camera magic. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it when you do your next stream.

[@bradkrekelberg8624]

This makes me so happy. Thanks! Great job!

[@daneyal7162]

So basically...it's one transformer who looks like a combiner, but can't split up...

[@ommommo]

what a monster. but basically if you just get the trailer alone you already have a menasor?

[@peolesdru]

Pretty much.

[@trence5]

LOL, kind of looks silly all that you have to go through but you know us Transformer fans - we just gotta have a toon-accurate robots.

[@josephmonroy3865]

Mine will never see base mode. Ever. While I'm not a fan of Fanstoys "suddenly" re-issuing Springer part of me says good for X-transbots. Screwed the people with this overly complicated, expensive trailer and accessory pack and then $200 for springer??? $200 for kup? Found me FT Koot for $140. I'm good.

[@peolesdru]

They all want to offer competitive prices. I assume XTB is having trouble turning a profit without raising prices.

[@josephmonroy3865]

@@peolesdru perhaps... im not familiar with the financials but fantoys galvatron and cyclonus were like 200 when they came out. Dr egg is like $130. Point is I don't mind spending the money if the product is quality. And there is a pretty significant difference between xtransbots and fanstoys. I just feel like I got suckered into purchasing the whole team only to be told that if you wanna form menasor, you gonna need another $300. Lemme know up front. Transparency is all I ask.

[@jeremyhsiao5392]

love the trans looking, but looks like the DX9 has a better design in the combine mode ? more solid for the arm and the back design ~

[@teamstellaris6453]

The complexity of the trailer puts me off of buying the set, not saying the set is bad or anything, but I don't wanna fuss with the trailer for an hour just for the combined mode (which is why I might pick up the DX9 set instead, as the transformation for the trailer doesn't look as hard, and it comes with the motormaster, vs being separate like it is with this set)

[@peolesdru]

The trailer isn't too bad, imho.

[@Enigma2K99]

You got Motormaster in there without disconnecting anything?!?!?

[@peolesdru]

Ugh. Such a pain in the ass.

[@Enigma2K99]

@@peolesdru I want a slow motion replay of THAT magic trick!!!

[@calebporter3735]

A combiner that doesn't combine? I'm... confused. EDIT: At the time I posted this comment, I wasn't paying full attention. I thought Motormaster's truck mode turned into Menasor without combining with the other Stunticons.

[@skylancerALT]

usually menasor is just often portrayed as enlarged motormaster and wears the other stunticons in their car modes as armor or something

[@cavvaldiv5536]

@@skylancerALT It's true, they even show it that way in TF Devestation

Yea, it's more like a power armor.

I see you didn't get the accessory pack. Yeah, me neither😂 Granted I also didn't get the rest of the set but y'know

[@peolesdru]

Heh. The pack didn't offer anything I need. The arms look just fine as they are and I don't care about a bunch of faces.

[@pazuzu66613]

OK, so it's not a real combiner then. That's a lot of effort for avoiding the actual combination gimmick.

[@richardwillis7154]

I combined mine and will never touch it again

[@UnicronsLeftNut]

LOL that's a ringing endorsement!

[@ninjared3733]

It looks like a great figure but the legs make me don't want it cause it looks like the leg stunticons are just hanging off the back of legs not being actual parts of menasor

[@peolesdru]

Just like the dumb cartoon. Look at Transformission's old set.

[@n_e_g_r_a_l_e_s8292]

Q guapo

[@serPomiz]

I've seen actual, industrial robot being less complex than the trailer transformation! also, not even motormaster transform? what's the real point then, a team bot without a team

[@peolesdru]

What? Motormaster totally transforms. You pack away his smokestack kibble and then fold his legs down. Boom! Transformed!

[@jreschke5]

Who in the world designs these things. Nasa?

[@roadbreach]

This is not why I buy a combiner.

[@ricardoseoane1980]

It looks awesome, but i dont like it, because that trailer alone is menazor, it feels like cheating to me.

[@casuallatecomer7597]

Then again Menasor is sometimes drawn as just wearing the other Stunticons on his limbs but yeah it does feel like cheating here.

[@TAURON85]

I bet you don't even know what you want, just keep commenting confused, left and right. Lol

[@maxmocs5008]

It's pretty cheaty, but honestly, It is nice that X-Transbots went ahead and made the combiner figure turn into a trailer. Most Zeta and Fanstoys combiners don't do that, the combiner bodies are just a non-transforming brick with a pair of thighs. While I would have preferred it if the arms and calves were thinner so it looked more like the car modes filled them in, I think this trailer is mildly more elegant than DX9's as you don't have to break it in half to transform Motormaster, and the arms look more filled in.

[@ricardoseoane1980]

@@TAURON85 First of all, please don't be a jerk. Second, fans wanting to see a more interesting combination for Menasor isn't unreasonable. MMC made a very good entirely-built-in combiner, and has another on the way. Toyworld made a Devastator with minimal partsforming. Even most recent Hasbro combiners don't rely too much on the center figure. I don't see what's wrong with wanting that kind of treatment applied to the Stunticons.

@Ocubeam I'm starting to legitimately wonder if he works for X-Transbots. It would explain why he's been triggered by every comment criticizing the combination, as well as why he held Monolith above DX9 Attila in such a passive aggressive manner.
