It seems another series of “wars” have started and Fans Toys have finally thrown their hat in the ring with their reveal of their Masterpiece-inspired Wildrider and Breakdown! Dubbed Magnum and Spoiler respectively, these two are Fans Toys’s debut for their Menasor project. However they seem to be taking a different approach in terms of scale, matching Takara in alternate mode scale and towering over Masterpiece car bots in robot mode. This does however allow them to match the Masterpiece Decepticons in terms of height like other combiner teams.
No pre-orders or release information is known at this time, but stay tuned for more updates on Fans Toys’s Menasor project and the rest of their expansive catalog and check out the pics after the jump!

We can hop over to the devastator thread for a while!

It's not you, the search sucks! I've toyed with it using the filters searching for specifics I know exist and know right where they are, but it's difficult to find what you're looking for. If there is a particular way to use the search other than how it straightforward looks, maybe we could use a tutorial from someone in the know.

lol, I hear you. Sometimes I feel guilty asking questions that I KNOW have already been asked but there’s just SOOOOO much to filter through and I just don’t seem to have success searching for stuff. I try but I must just not understand how to properly search forums lol

Even as a repeat info this post is considerably better than the overwhelming majority of posts on the last few hundred pages of the thread.
As for the Dead End arm I believe the linkage is at his waist instead of his knees, but otherwise similar.

This should work better for you

I figured as much…..but when there's 1200 pages of the SECOND thread on this thing, you get tired of looking LOL. But I thought in the off chance it some how hasn't then here it is.

Yea, it's been brought up a few times already over the years.

Hey guys. I can't imagine I am the only one who noticed this but my searches on here have not brought any thing up. I have seen some speculation on how FT is planning to make all this work. The discussions that I have seen any way are asking how it works when it won't split. I was fiddling with drag strip tonight in my boredom and discovered this odd linkage in his one leg. After messing around a bit i found it can be used to achieve the "elbow bend" for his arm. My apologies if this has already been pointed out as I'm not the most observant person in the world. If not, here's how they are planning to do his right arm any way. I assume the other will work the same.

I think one of these days FT will reach out to Star Toys : "Hei bro, can we just buy your design so that we can add some cosmetic changes?" Voila, FT Blitzwing.

I'm thinking the same with Blitzwing. Hopefully something will be mentioned in a week or two.
Between Superion photos showing up a little while after the last Con, or XTB's Ironhide photos coming out a few weeks before this one… This whole thing is turning into Black Friday.

But the dream I had about Bandit was so real. But you’re right of course I had a can of Red Bull and soon after I fell into the deepest slumber, dreaming about robots.
[edit:] I have to clarify, that I totally forgot they already showed images of a colored Bandit. I was, of course, dreaming about FT Menasor.

Ethereaon pictures were released 2 weeks after the last tfcon, hopefully something similar happens with Marauder. I’m not holding my breath though

Bandit was on his way to the factory when he got rolled over by FT's Wide Hips Superteam.

You should probably lay off the caffeine before bed.

Just saw the slides from TFCon. Wow those Bandit images. It’s more stunning than I thought.
Unbelievably excited; I'm shaking.
*wakes up*

LOL at Dead End fanboys!
Oh wait………..!

I heard there was a display case at TFCon with a Bandit name plate in it, but all that was in there was a tumbleweed rolling around.
