DNA Design, via their Facebook account, have revealed images of their new DK-38 Upgrade Kit for Legacy Motormaster/Menasor.
This new upgrade kit brings you several new pieces to improve the main Menasor body frame. It includes new feet pieces, articulated hands, leg extenders, and a new chest piece which can be configured in cartoon or toy style. We also have some extra pieces to use Motormaster’s battle station parts as a big cannon. All the new parts can be attached as a single block to Motormaster’s trailer to increase its length. It’s planned for release in November 2022.
Check all the mirrored images on this news post and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

It might not be a big deal but just be aware that the DNK hands seemed to have shorter thumbs compared to the DNA hands. I wish I noticed this before I got the DNK set.

DNK-38 ko is your cheapest option for hands. They actually fixed the DNA design error where the right fist now fits in alt mode and they made the fingers different lengths from each other.

The ZX kit adds some mass to his upper back, but I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not.

TF Lab has a set:

@edjodapro2468 also designed knee reversers if you can 3d print them:

All I want are the hands with the articulated fingers…and something that makes his backside thicker. He's very flat in the back.
Oh, and an option to put the leg cars in the front. No one has designed a replacement trailer part that allows for this?
It bugs me how the 3P have gotten him to look more cartoon accurate than Hasbro Takara.

Yes. I can of course use the toes in bot mode and put them aside in alt mode. Partsforming… grumble…
Pcsolyar
I just throw the toes in MM's trailer. Plenty of space in there now.
Currywurst
I'd say it's more of a "whoever's upgrade was designed later" problem.
I'm kinda bummed out about that too. But I prefer to use the weapons over the toes, so…
Otherwise, I love MW made these weapons. They're great. Didn't have to shave off any plastic on mine either to get them to fit. YMMV.
Pcsolyar
The connections are all too tight but if you're willing to file things down they're pretty nice. I don't use them in robot mode, only in alt mode. I've given them to the box set toy deco versions now and they really complete the look. And this is more of a me-problem, but you also can't have the 115 feet on Dead End and use the Matrix Workshop gun at the same time.

Sorry I wasn’t clearer; I know where I can get them. I just was curious what your opinion on them is?
Pcsolyar
Yes they are. Got them from @sweetmallstore on eBay.

Love it. It does the same in alt mode as the Magic Hand set but isn't compromised to stuff inside the base mode tower. Might have to replace my MHD set now.

Not to self promo, but If all your looking for is a way to extend the trailer (like me) without the weird bulk changing the shape of the rectangular trailer, and you've got a 3D printer, might be cheapest/easiest to use my extender kit

Are those the Matrix Workshop Big Guns on the limb bots? How do you find them?
I’ve been considering getting a set for each of the cars for a while.
Sigmalock
I started off with DNA’s. Didn’t care for the extra chest piece or the BFG parts.
DNK is the KO of it, minus those parts. It has a second sword (only early adopters got that with DNA’s), and the fists store better in truck mode because the left and right wrists have slightly different layouts which DNA’s failed to easily accommodate. Only thing is that the purple on the hand and feet upgrades is slightly darker than the base figure (doesn’t bother me; others may feel different).
Happy to recommend DNK over DNA overall.
Pcsolyar
Yes, the slippers are what make the trailer longer and the thighs are how the slippers connect to the trailer. As long as you have both of those you get the longer trailer.
I also use the Magic Hand set that extends the middle of the trailer, but it's flimsy and connections are awful and easy to break. You need to shave down the tabs and be careful with the posts. Mine had a post snap off when disconnecting and now it sits so loose that you can't pull the trailer by the cab without it falling apart. Don't recommend, but it does look good. Here's MHD-001 and the DNA set together:

Thanks. For sure, the length you achieved is what I have in mind when I think about MM's trailer

I do it all with building bloks but not sure if it fits to your desire.

The guy said “DNK”, so I figured he was knowingly searching for the KO. The feet make the trailer bigger, but I’m not sure by how much. I only ever used the hands and sword.
rikkomba
Thanks! Couls you please post a picture in alt mode?
OptimusTarzan
I got this one and it has everything except chest upgrade which I didn't care about.

The KO one doesn’t have all the parts. Mine is combined right now… does the KO have everything needed to make the trailer bigger?
