Courtesy of Hasbro Designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher on Instagram we can share new official in-hand images of the highly anticipated Legacy Motormaster.
The new images show not only Motormaster but his Combiner form as Menasor’s body (with Dragstrip as arm). The comparison size images reveal that Menasor will be as tall as the Commander Jetfire mold, about 12 inches/30.48 cm tall. The images reveal the great poseability range of both Motormaster and Menasor.
To top it all, as many fans had noticed from the first official stock photos, Menasor’s legs are compatible with Combiner Wars connectors and we can see it clearly with Combiner Wars Sunstreaker attached as a leg. However, the arm frames have got a unique design for Dragstrip and Dead End.
See all the new images and Mark’s comments about Motormaster and Menasor after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Apologies for the lack of responses and posts, I’m trying my best to answer everyone so dont feel neglected if I dont respond. Im just really working hard to make everyone’s FAN tasties come true ( oof dad joke ).
So, here we have Menasor compared to Shattered Glass commander Jetfire just as I promised a scale comparison for yall!! As you can see, our combiner is larger, not by much, but he is basically 12 inches in height with his head horns pushing him to 12 1/2 inches.
I did attach 2 wildriders for the legs but 2 dragstrips will not work, as Ejima san made each arm connection unique to the character.
Swipe right to see how much articulation you have to play with on this combiner, just imagine all the poses!! The ankle rockers really make a large impact!
I also showed some scale comparisons to the voyagers as I feel you can imagine how dlx and core will lineup.
Been a big fan of Motormaster for a long time, the deco colors and design is so striking, I love the boxed out dome! You can see Motormaster here power slamming Optimus
Also, I showed how well combiner wars Sunstreaker fits into Menasors leg socket, as Ive said before, it fits, but does not stay well, as it was not intended to be used with this system. The intention for this combiner was to try to make it the best we could with unique connections.
If you’re a diehard g1 cartoon fan you dont have to display your arm connections seperated as shown here!
More soon! Enjoy!
Thanks for all the support

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.
OCDChad
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.
Onilink
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.
Fc203
Still surprised no one has made a new chest piece for him or any car shells
VerdantWind
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.
