3P Company Black Mamba has revealed a prototype of a very interesting project: A G1 inspired Menasor which is compatible with official Combiner Wars toys.
The news images were shared via BB7 TOYS Newsstand on Facebook. We can see a very nice and integrated truck mode. The robot mode looks blocky and a bit simple, but the combined mode provides a well-proportioned and detailed torso for Combiner Wars Menasor. The Deluxe figures seem to fit perfectly, and you can still plug Legends Blackjack to the chest. New articulated hands, feet and a sword are also included. This mold is sure a great improvement over the original CW Motormaster toys.
No information on price or release date yet, but you can check out the images after the jump and then join to the ongoing discussion at the 2005 Boards!

it’s hard out here bruh … trying to represent for the real ones in the TF trenches is no jk …
breaux man
….just seeing this.
Sir, you are definitely correct…you can rarely make a sports reference and the joke not fall flat…here, that is.
FYI folks, the R.I.P. Black Mamba was referencing the death of Kobe Bryant.
carry on…

I know its "MP", but I gave up and I'm waiting on rising force as my Chug motor master.

And given their silence these past months and the corona crisis Toyworld also probably died.

It moved over to Toyworld where it died.

Surprisingly, there are tons of people on here who still don't get the blue text thing. He definitely wasn't serious.
Fenrys
considering you arent the one i quoted, and he didn't quote you or use blue text, i fail to see the point of your gif. also there are plenty of people on these boards that are ill informed and could very well believe black mamba was a dead company

Most likely UW. That happened to a few of them, including mine. It looks pretty scary but it's an easy fix as long as you can get hold of a CW Motormaster for spare parts.
This is my repaired copy. I never bothered to paint him since he spends most of his time in combined mode where you can't see it.

Repairs aside, UW Menasor is a lot more stable than CW, and he's one of my favorites. But I'd still love a 3p CW compatible Motormaster. The Onslaught design is nice too – given the chance I'd go for both.

I have a UW set and the upgrade kit I'm considering selling. Any interest?
trence5
WOW !!! Which one, the CW or the one from the UW set?
Bluecowbowling
OMG why the heck did they cancel?? This is what I have been waiting for and I would have purchased 2 sets right out the gate
I hope one of the other companies picks this project up or maybe someone like Jinbao or Wei-Jiang would come along and oversize them?
I want some more combiners in the Wei-Jiang Predaking size scale or Jinabao's Bruticus size scale at the very least..

WHY IS THIS DEAD PLEASE BRING IT BACK ARGH

I bought CW Motormaster but never got around to the limbs. This looks cool but my interest in toys is dying.
UPDATE: months later I bought the UW Menasor set & Motormaster's waste disintegrated. So now I'm really losing interest.
Fenrys
That’s nice, happy for you
