And still with the excitement about the officially revealed Legacy Motormaster as well as Menasor’s main body, now Hasbro designer Mark Maher is treating us with a great “Behind The Scenes” gallery of the development of this new figure.
Read on for Mark’s comments:
I hope all the fans enjoyed the livestream today with @teccatron and @isabellachiemiweiss , if you didn’t get to see it live you can watch the replay on the hasbro pulse youtube page.
Big shout out to @artguy101 (Dan Khanna) for the awesome concept art for this Commander Class Motormaster. As you scroll you can see alot of early work from not only Dan but from the great Ejima san (Ejima Takio, Takara Tomy designer)!
I hope you can see how much work, innovation, engineering, and just outright love goes into these toys.
A unique and great material which we are sure any fan will enjoy to learn more about all the creative process to bring a figure from a drawing to its physical form.

So close…..

Yeah, the only place I could find it for less than 110 was Amazon.jp. I am kicking myself for not jumping on it with Pulse had it for 25% off.
Sunbow Prime
Damn. Motormaster shipped from Pulse for me in August 2022. Now they are out of stock, and so is Amazon, Target, and Bigbadtoystore.

What amazes me about this whole set is out it is basically sold out everywhere now. I was late to the game and am trying to play catch up.

Only Breakdown missing. Holy Donkey Kong arms, Batman!

I remember checking motormaster pretty constantly that day, it never hit $55. It was likely that price for at best an hour in the morning and then gone. Stayed at 3p seller price the entirety of Black Friday.
WishfulThinking
Those were probably blink and you miss it moments for Motormaster. The Ark is still cheap, though.
MegaGnaw
To be honest, it varied on the show. Sometimes Devastated looked as if he was three times taller, other times, Megatron reached the knees of his combiners.
Shepard Prime
On Amazon and Best Buy for sure. I did screw up tho'. It wasn't 50, it was 55 to 60 iirc. Lots of deals were being thrown out then snd I flubbed the numbers.
Yeah, Black Friday was insane. Kingdom Galvatrons for $25 to $30. Black Zarak and The Ark down to $100. Betc etc
Robogeek28
Seriously.
WishfulThinking
When the heck did he drop to $50?
Shepard Prime
You had a perfect chance to get him both on Black Friday weekend and again during the holidays where he dropped down to $50 US.
WishfulThinking
I think this may be the best selling Commander for Hasbro yet. Amazon and Walmart are selling him for $150 – 200. That's insane! I still don't have one and was going to use a gift card…but hell no at those prices. I'll wait.

Still surprised no one has made a new chest piece for him or any car shells

Well, what I meant was, if you've applied anything on top of the stickers so that they don't fall off as easily when handling/transforming them.
Mercurius
I usually use an x-acto knife blade and my fingers.
RangerXML
just tweezers and very carefully.
VerdantWind
That looks fantastic! Do you apply any sort of clear coat on top of the stickers? I wanna get them Toyhax sets but I hate putting stickers on my transformers.
Starling
There is already two companies, one of them is in market months ago, pictures are in pages before.
Shepard Prime
That's kinda dependent on continuity tho, yeah? Some continuities combiners are ridiculously big and 6 inches taller isn't going to cut it.
